All persons interested in the organiza- ; tion of a chartered cemetery will please meet next Monday, the 22d instant, at 1 4.30 o'clock P. M., at the Hays' furniture : store. The stockholders of this commendable undertaking will not only be the priviledged benefactors to this and the coming generations, but will also have the opportunity of investing in stock that will always pay at least a small dividend. In many cemetery companies large dividends are realized. Not only should the people of the town take a lively interest in this "city of the dead," but our entire community should come forward and assise in its organization. It will l>e perpetuated for all time, and I, for one, will esteem it an honor to have niv name handed down to history as one of its corporators. How often are we shocked and greived as we ride around through the country and see so many grave yards plowed up and planted by strangers who haye ho regard for the dead for whom they never knew and perhaps never heard of. Come friends, and let us do a a good thing. H. J. Brabham. The new battleship Wisconsin has taken away the laurels of the Alabama in point of speed, having averaged 17.25 knots in a thirty-mile trip off the coast of California. This makes the Wisconsin the fastest vessel of her class in the world. The record of the Oregon demonstrated the fact that they know how to build warships out on the Pacific coast, and this last achievement shows it is their intention to hold on to their laurels. The Wisconsin will be the new bulldog of the navy. New Advertisements. Jones Bros.?The First Carload. Commissioners of State Election?Election Notice. T. J. Counts, Master?Master's Sale.

J. & Otis Brabham, Proprietors Bamberg Nurseries, * Bamberg, S. C. j Trial of W. B. Browning. St. George, October 16.?The Court of Beueral Session, convened hereby Judge I Buchanan on Mondav, has disposed of all | ;ases before it except that of Walker B. | a Browning for the murder at Ridgeville me year ago of James M. Izlar. This ^ase has been set for to-morrow morning \ ind it is expected to consume at least one lay. More than seventy-five witnesses ^ lave been summoned for the trial and here is a great deal of general interest in he case. Browning and Izlar were good xiends and were here at the October term )f Court last year, interested in a civil jase, in which Izlar was plaintiff. They eturned together on the night train to heir homes in Ridgeville, and it was there >n the street the altercation occurred. Mr. Browning, in his affidavit, filed with lis application for bail, stated that the rouble arose over a request by Izlar that Browning should testify to certain facts, vhich Browning refused. Browning iays that Izlar then assaulted him with a ?uu and he was forced to shoot in selflefence. There were no eye witnesses to he difficulty. Messrs. Howell, Gruber md Rumph 'and D. H. Behre will conduct he defence. The Uncertainty Of Life. Away from home, family, and friends, in a ilesolate roadside near Buford's Bridge, alxiut fourteen miles from here, Mr. Frank J. Devereux was found cold m death on Tuesday afteruoon?and a striking and sad illustration is this of the incertainty of life. Mr. Devereux had in charge Col. Mike Brown's large cross tie interests, and left tiere on Friday last for a trip through this and Bamberg counties. He was apparently in perfect health; hence the great shock caused here when the news of iiis demise was made known. Death was the result of apoplexy. Mr. Devereux came to Barnwell from Charleston about two years ago. Of sterling character and affable mannerism; he soon won his way into the hearts of our people. His untimely death is mourned by all who knew him. He was 38 years old. The heart-broken young wife and three little children have the deep sympathy of the community in their great bereavement. Messrs. B. F. Patrick and B. H. Cave accompanied the remains to Charleston, where the burial took place?Barnwell Sentinel. "They built a church at his very door? "He wasn't in it." They brought him a scheme for relieving the poor? "He wasn't in it." Let them work for themselves as he hud done, They wouldn't ask help of any one If they hadn't wasted each golden minute? "He wasn't in it." "He wasn't in it." When men in the halls of virtue met He saw their goodness without regret; Too high the mark for him to win it "He wasn't in it." ( So he passed the poor with a haughtv tread- 2 "(No money in it)." ( A carriage crept down the street one day? ? "He was in it." The funeral trappings made a display? "He was in it.
