Sunday afternoon, just after the hour of two, an angel stole quietly into the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Ardrey and took from them their precious little girl, Mary Mack, and in tender arms of love bore her sweet little spirj it over the river and planted it in the garden of paradise. Little Mary was a bright, sweet and ; beautiful child of five years | and in that home which is so sad- ! dened by her departure she was almost idolized. For two weeks her little life hung on by a thread, and, oh, how tenderly the mother and father watched j over their precious child as she j tossed her little head to and fro j battling with that fatal disease, I typhoid fever. But her strength | was fast fading away?slowly and beautifully as the last linger-1 ing flowers droop amidst the softest breathings of autumn. , Sunday there could no longer be | any doubt of death, and as the, fond parents and grand-parents stood by with tear-stained eves and aching hearts, little Mary calmly and sweetly fell asleep. A precious little flower budded on earth to bloom in heaven. The funeral service Monday} afternoon was conducted by Dr. ' J. H. Thornwell, after which the little form was laid away in the town cemetery to await.the morn of resurrection. Coy-Potts. Miss Ina J. Coy, of Lockhart. S. C., and Mr. John S.

One of our friends has suggested that we call attention to ; the fact that this is the proper! season of the year for pruning scuppernongs. The scuppernong is very different from the bunch grape and will not stand pruning during the winter. It will bleed badly if pruned as late as December. A safe rule to follow when your vines need pruning is to cut them back about the time the leaves are beginning to fall?say October 15th to Noj vember 15, according to the ! seasons. Bunch grapes ' should be more securely pruned than j scuppernongs, but this work can be done any time between Ootober and March. Diamonds At Kershaw? A small diamond, weighing an eighth of a karat, cut, says The Charlotte News, was found several weeks ago near the Hale Gold minp npflr Kprshaw S f! TVIA I find was made by the little I daughter of Mr. 0. J. Theis, manager of the extensive works at that place. Mr. Theis took the stone to Charlotte and had it examined by a diamond salesman, who pronounced it a gen; uine stone. It was forwarded j ! to a Northern house and recently came back a brilliant little 1 diamond, weighing one-eighth of a karat. Its value is $15. Now the .question arises, are there diamonds to be found in this part of the country? The i little stone fn its rough state was ' picked up in a bed of sand which ; strengthens the belief that the , rare gems may be found in that vicinity. DRJUNG'S NEW DISCOVERY .
