Little Mary Mack Ardrey Dead.
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.

Pruning Grapevines.
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.
