Catherine. the nine year old daughter of Mr. B. F. Edwards, who was bitten by a mad dog last week, is receiving treatment at the Pastuer Institute at Columbia. An examination of the dog's head de-' veloped s'' lit traces of the rabbies and ti' sicians advised that the child be given the Pastuer treatment. She is getting along splendidly aud will be dismissed from the institute in a short while. The Herald has just completed printing the town ordinances of Little Rock in pamphlet form. The: book contains 16 pages and embraces many excellent town laws. The town council is composed of W. E. Bowen, Mayor; Rufus Edwards, A. Schafer, G. W. Leach and C. E.; Powell, wardens, with E. P. Mobley as clerk and treasurer. They are all well known and substantial business men, and the town of Little Rock should be well governed during their administration.

Postage at The Herald office is quite an expensive item, .ind we cannot afford to send out more than one notice to each subscriber. When we do not hear from l a subscriber we take it as an indication that they wish the paper dis' continued and if you fail to receive ( your paper after this week it will be because you did not reply to our . l9lter and we had reason to believe r that you did not want the paper any longer. Weather conditions have be- , comj alarming. The long drouth continues jnbroken and the weathei lore- ast for to-day says ' in r.iin for North and 3outh. Carolina." 'Phe oat crop is a failure and cotI t t ti... ton is suffering badly. Very few farmers have a stand, aud about one third of the crop in Dillon county is still in the ground. It is reported that flowing wells in the southern part of the county have gone dry and the people are forced , send their clothes 6 and 7 miles to have them washed. Reedy Creek is its dry as a desert, Buck Swamp is merely a serits of mud holes and the two l'ee Dees are nothing mo;cthati shallow creeks. If rain does not come within the next 13 days old farmers say that a crop will be impossible. As it is, the crop will be very short.

An exceedingly lovely wedding was solemnized at the home of Mr. ;in<l M ni W l> C2..-1 - " * . j . ohi i' a (ii *t . o V ?>UI1day afternoon when Miss Mollie Surles and Mr. Ii. 11. l>riggers were united in marriage. Rev. J. A. 1. sey performed the cereinoney. The parlor was artistically decorated for the occasion with ferns, potted plants and ever greens. As the strains of the wedding weddiug march were sounded by Miss Sadie Hamilton the bridesmaids: Miss Annie Joyner and .1. A. Surles; Miss Florence Uriggers and \V. P. Grantham; Miss Annie Surles and T. C. Driggers. Next came the little flower girl, Miss Pauline Jordan, followed by the bride and groom.

Our community was saddened two weeks ago when the death angel entered the home of Mr. .1. . Ilenne and bore the spirit of the wife and mother to the great beyond. It was the writer's privilege to have known her from my earliest recollections, being playmates and classmates through all our earlv vents Reared in a Christian home, almost within the shadow of the church wall, I have no idea she knew when her Christian life began. Her's was one of the gentlest, sweetest natures I ever knew: with a smile on her lips, she was always ready for any service which love demanded. At an early age she took upon herself the vows assumed by her parents, in infancy and it seemed the yoke was eaa> and the burden light. Six years ago she was married tc Mr. J. C. Bennett, and of this union one little daughter, Irene, foui i years, remains, whose only conception of death is, as she was overheard to say in musing, 'They told me God wanted mamma." For one week she suffered with violent vomiting, which could not he checked. All that medical aid and nursing could do was of no avail until God said. "It is enough, eotne up higher." On Saturday there was a small grave made and on Sunday afternoon another made beside it. Her mortal life is ended, hut on down through yea its of time such a life as Iter's will continue, hearts will be more tender and souls strengthened, tiie world better for her stay in it She leaves to mourn a husband , and daughter, a. mother, two sisters , and seven brothers, who though bowed down with sorrow can say, "God doetli all things well." It was late Wednesday afternoon, < the last paper ol" the week's edition ( had been printed, run through the folding machine, passed under the mailer and was ready for delivery. 1 The editor sat in iiis easy chair en- 1 joying a sense of relief from the , nerve-racking work of the past ( three days and drawing mental pictures of tiie city iJilloii would he in the next 20 years when in they ' came, tumbling over each other in their excitement and shouting "vie lory" in a chorus of voices. "Say, Mister." shouted a well-knit, stoutly built, dirt-begrimed youth, "does it cost anything to publish the news ni a baseball game"" No. "Well, I am captain of the 'l.ittle Giants,' at.d I want you to tell ike people v. have just defeated I .alt a by a si ore of 1 js to "It was the game of the season," chimed in another youth of tender years, his hr'glit little eyes glistening like diamonds through a veil of dust, ? streaked and striped with perspiration. "and we want to git all the . credit that's com hi* to us." "And don't fail to mention the batteries, Mister," shouted another line type of Young America who bore upon m his left hand a catcher's mit sev-, 4 oral times larger than his own lit- f I ^ tie body, "it was Ivey and Hvans, Herring and Smith for Dillon, and s Atkinson and lie thoa for l.atta." ^ ' The editor was jotting down the ^ iiaiiii-a one iignuuug win n lie was interrupted. "Hold on," snouted another corduroyed youth with huge ^ si ikes in his shoes, "Make that T R.' Evans so everybody will know ' who he is. lie did the work for ' Dillon in tin pitcher's box and I must git eredit for what lie done."|B At this juneture another tousled ? youth, covered from head to feet * with diautnod dust, and loaded down :< with mils, hats, masks and breast- ? shields large enough fur a player * ii: the national league, advaneed * '.noidly to the front and interrupted ? the proceedings. ".No he didn't * '.either; Ivey struck out three with *? :,tiu bases full and sa\ed the day; *? mention his nauie, too." Finally * peace was r? stored and the editor learned that after weeks of preparation and anticipation the "Little * (Hants of Dillon and Latta had just pulled off one of the most ex- \ ! citiug games of the season.
