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.
The funeral services were con
ducted T>y ""RevT'"H. B. Browne, on
Saturday afternoon and the inter
ment took place at the Quaker cem
etery In this city.
"When some beloved voice that
was to you
Both sound and sweetness, faileth
suddenly
And silence against which you dare
not cry
Aches round you like a strong dis
ease and new ?
What hope? What help? What
music will undo
That silence to your senses?
Not friendship's sigh;
Not reason's subtle count;
Nay, none of thsee! .
Speak Thou, awaiting Christ!
And fill this pause! '*

There is nothing about the home more beautiful or
that adds more to your satisfaction and pleasure than a
well kept lawn. The thing most necesssary for this is
a good lawn mower. The lawn is left smooth and even
and the weeds cannot grow. Our lawn mowers make
the work a pleasure rather than a task. They have all
the latest improvements, run easily and smoothly, are
durable and make very little noise. v
We guarantee everyone to give perfect satisfaction.
When such a small expense means a beautiful lawn, for
years to come; you cannot afford to be without one.
