'regressive legislation" has evi |y been the slogai\ of Mr. Carri and his council and we see evi e of its being successfully carried on every side.

The ps of the paved streets are eco [c, social and aesthetic.

Let us quote the sage who "Forward as occasion offers. ?r look round to see whether any. I note it or like it. Be satisfied success in even the smallest er, and thinjc that even such a It is no trifle." Unlike one of our d Camden writers, our 'song is "The Old Oaken Bucket that g in the Well." Nor do we sigh he "Days that are no more," nor ;he picturesque lamp-lighter that wended his way through our ts with a ladder under his arm personally lighted each lamp that its dim rays over Camden's Ar m-like beauty. Days of our i, filled with romance. and senti~ and remembered in song and , but we would not recall that; Our motto is, "Sail On!"

Death of a Good Old Colored Woman. With tju) passing of "Aunt Mary Carter" one more landmark of the pl<|. South, has been obliterated and by all the happy memories of a far-away childhood we pay this willing and loving tribute to her life and charac ter. She was one of the few of that best and noblest type of the race that lingeringly awaited the summons to "roam the green fields beyond the dwelling flood," "that Immortalized the nnrsprv rhymes. As a slave she was owned >y ,the Nettles family, but the service she rendered was not that of an unwilling slave, she was a true and faithful friend, true to her owners, true to th&r ^children unto the third 'atttl *6'ufth generation. Fidelity to every duty, faithfulness and service wex'e the characteristics that marked ?h^f 10^ an(J useful life. Many wrin- 1 kles on her dusky brow told of toil and sorrow and the old eyes that had guided our truant feet in childhood had for many years been dim. She was also faithful in service to her Heavenly Master and for many years a consistent member of Mptint Monah Baptist church, where her funeral w?s preached Sunday at 2 p. m. by the ;paato*,< Rev. J. W. Boykin, son of MohToe Boy kin, another noble type of the race, wKTo, "though dead, yet speaketh" to his people and is lovingly remembered also by his white friends. "Aunt Mary" has at last been given rest, age and toil had whitened her hoid, and beht her form and she has passed from the shadow to the light Ibeytmd, where we trust that the Itreets" that she once sang, about haVe become a golden reality, ^ith * heart surcharged with sor ' * row, "* 1 P^po' I watch them pass away, ' WTtfce old South with them endeth , i3Wd the new assumps its sway? _ tfRh the passing of the Memory Of that god, old golden time, So^-passeth ,out forever TSSfcaft fair Sepoch of our clime.
