Called to Her Reward. Mrs. Jane Patterson, beloved wife of Mr. S. Lee Patterson, died Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock at her home in Pleasant Valley as a result it is thought of injuries she received in a fall some days ago. Mrs. Patterson was 77 years of age and had been in ill health for the past five or six years, most of the time being confined to her bed. She was affectionately known as "Aunt Jane" by all of her acquaintances. She is survived by a husband and one brother, Mr. J. P. Bailes, also of Pleasant Valley. The funeral was conducted Monday morning at 11 o'clock by Rev. W. M. Owings, pastor of Pleasant Hill church, at which place the burial was made. None but those who have sat in the shadow of a great bereavement can justly weigh such a sorrow as this. Those who have gone down into the valley of suffering and stood for months by the side of a loved one, as hope after hope dropped away as the petals fall from a fading flower, know that such anguish cannot find solace in the tenderest words. She who has gone forth could not be supported on her solitary path by any earthly friend. The husband with a devotion few men are capable of, whose strength was given sweetly, tenderly to this precious invalid, whose heroic devotion never faltered, could not detain her by the clasp of earthly love; but after the last word had been spoken, the last sign of recognition was gone, a look of peace ? 4 * I ?

Martin M. Wolfe died Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Jno. M. Harris, in the Pleasant Valley section of Lancaster county. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Mr. Bennett, of the Pineville Methodist church, who took as his subject "The Resurrection." Many of those present stated that the sermon was the most eloquent and impressive they had heard. The burial was made in the churchyard at Pleasant Hill, and was attended by a large crowd of relatives and friends. Mr. Wolfe is survived by two daughters, Mrs. J. M. Harris, of Pleasant Valley, and Miss Mannie Wolfe, and two sons, Messrs. YV. D. and M. M. Wolfe, Jr., of Fort Mill. Capt. Martin M. Wolfe was a native of Mecklenburg, having been born in that county in 1840. His early life was spent on the farm and when 19 years of age he engaged in the mercantile business at Greensboro, N. C. It was while thus engaged that the war between the States came on and Capt. Wolfe was one of the first to volunteer his services, joining a company which was being organized by C. C. Cole, editor of the Greensboro Times, of which he was made orderly sergeant. His company was honored by being made the flag company of the Twelfth N. C. Regiment. His first service in the war was when his company was ordered to Evansport to block the Potomac river. Later his command was ordered tc Fredericksburg and engaged in the battle of Seven Pines, the Seven Days fight around Richmond, the battles of Mechanicsville, and Gaine's Mill. By the j death of several of his superiors I Wolfe had by this time risen tc the rank of first lieutenant. A I few days later the battle ol Frazier's Farm resulted in the death of the captain. Charles. o1 Wolfe's company and he as sumed the captaincy. As captain, Mr. Wolfe led his companj into many fierce battles, notably those of Malvern Hill, Cedai Run, Second Manassas and Thoroughfare Gap. Capt. Wolfe wa: painfully wounded while his bri gade was taking the Manassas railroad, and was unable to perform further duties in the army It has been said by those wh( knew his war record, that n( truer or more fearless soldier evei fought for the "Lost Cause' than Martin M. Wolfe. School Opens With Good Attendance The Fort Mill graded and higl school opened Monday with verj favorable promises for a inos successful year. The minister: | of the town were present at th< opening exercises and made ven appropriate speeches for the oc casion. Mr. W. B. Meacham secretary and treasurer of th< board of trustees, was presen also and gave some welcom< news in saying that he though it probable and possible that wi - 1 . I i r | Get it fresh Get it pure Get it clean Get it reasonable 1 at Ardrey's Drugstore. should have a new school building before the close of this school i Udor | J VM* ? It was self evident that more i room and more equipment were needed as every room was crowded to its utmost capacity on the opening day. The enrollment was something over two hun: dred. Thirty four were enrolled ! in the high school. If the country around Fort Mill will seize , the opportunity of the high school i as they should, the enrollment will reach fifty. No pains will be spared to do thorough work in in this department. We have laid off the day into seven periods of I forty minutes each, and each period is devoted to a recitation thereby affording ample time for a thorough discussion of the sub! ject at hand. We hope to ac; complish much for the pupils this year in all departments. We ask that every parent help us to further the work bv seeing to it that the children study at home, and be punctual and regular in attendance. School opens promptly at 8.45 o'clock. The various grades reI main at school as long as experience has shown that the best results can be obtained. The study period for the afternoon is irom 3 o'clock to 4.30 o'clock. The evening study period is from 7.30 to 9.30 o'clock in accordance with the ago of the pupil. If the parents see to it that their children observe these study periods, we shall do the rest and much will be accomplished. If the academy afforded ample accomodation, we should be glad to take charge of the afternoon study period; but until such improvements are made we shall have to ask the parents to assist us. L. M.
