A Sad Death. One of the saddest deaths which has ever occurred in this city was that of Mrs. S. M. McCaskill, who died last Friday night, June 7th, after a brief illness. Sad, because It has broken up a home and left four little girls and an infant son without a mother. For the sorely berearved husband and these inno cent little ones the profoundest sym pathy is felt by the entire commu nity. Dr. McCaskill brought his family to Camden about a year ago, and has recently moved into a pret ty new home. Mrs. McCaskill was well liked by everyone who met her. Would that we might say something to lessen the great sorrow of her loved ones. May they hear the footsteps of Him who walked amid the palms an poppies of Palestine, and by the blue waves of Galilee, bringing peac and comfort to the sorrowful.
