:e- Wonderful things are done for the

ed removed entirely; bones are spliced; pipes

el- j wounds, bruises, burns and like injuries

Id them to heal without maturation and in

1 There were some rowdies in town Sat- j

1 zens by firing off their pistols on Main }
' strfeet. They were not caught, as they J
' probably had watched the marshal until <
i he had gone in for the night. This thing t
always occurs late at night, and if the 3
parties could only be caught and fined j
i fifty dollars each it probably would put a c
, stop to such a cowardly, abominable prac- *
' tice. No gentleman would act this way, \

it is to be hoped that they won't rest until
f they catch the guilty parties.
The council are having some much
needed work done on the streets, for
which they have the thanks of the public,

Big Fire at St. George.
St. George, June 16.?Fire destroyed
i large part of the business portion of
mis town, Detween iu anci iz mis morning,
near the Southern Railroad. It was the
most disastrous fire ever known here and
originated in the rear of the store occupied
toy Mr. Robert Baker. It soon spread to
;he stores of Mrs. A. V. Breaker and Mr.
Charlie Breaker, then to the beef market
occupied by Messrs Stokes & Stokes
ind the tailoring establishment of J. M.
Stokes. These buildings were soon burned
;o the ground and at one time it was
;hought that the entire block would go.
Dnly heroic work saved the stores x>f
Messrs. T. L. Lott and B. F. Dukes.
Before the crowd dispersed from this
Mace it was learned that the house ocrnpied
by Mr. Fitz P&rler, two blocks
iway, was on fire and before help could
>e obtained his residence was too far
rone to be saved.
It was a day of misfortunes and the
osses will reach high figures. There
vas some insurance on some of the
itocks of merchandise and on the resilence
owned by Mr. J. H. Abbey, but
he stores, which were owned by Mr.

It is with sorrow that we chronicle the
death of Mrs. Jane A. Spann, wife of
Mr. P. C. Spann. For three weeks she '
bad been in a very critical condition, (being
taken with a stroke of paralysis or '
ipoplexy) at times thought to be near the i
2nd, then again rallying.
On last Thursday she was so much better
that hope was entertained of her get 1
ting up again. But early that night an- 1
other stroke rendered her uncouscious, '
and proved to be the last and fatal one.
All that medical skill and loving faithful- i
ness of the family and friends could do, :
was done, but to no avail. The time of
her departure was at hand, and on Sunday
morning at 10 o'clock her stay and
service on earth closed and her spirit
went up to Heaven.
Mrs. Spann, before her marriage, was
Miss Steadman, a sister of Colonel Steadman,
of Lexington county, a family of
prominence and great sterling worth.
She married Mr. P. C. Spann, a son of
Rev. Henry Spann, an influential minister
of the Methodist church in its earlier history.
They lived in Lexington county,
near Leesville, S. C., all their married life
until a few years ago, when they moved
to the town of Bamberg, where several of
their children had married and settled.
She was the mother of nine children, all
living. Four of them live in Bamberg,
four in Florida, and one in Chester, wife
of Rev. G. P. Watson, of the South Caro
lina conference. She was sixty-six years
old.
In early life she joined the Methodist
church, and was faithful therein until her
death. Her character before and influence
upon her children was such as turned
their thoughts toward Christ and the
church, and she had the pleasure of knowing
they all were members of the church
in which she was an earnest worker during
life. As a wife she was indeed a helpmeet
for her husband; as a mother, de.voted,
true and loving; andUs a neighbor,
kind-hearted and helpful. In "all these
relations her departure is a great Joss.
On Sunday afternoon, at 5 o'clock, in
the new cemetery, her body was laid to
rest, the burial services being conducted
by her pastor, Rev. M. W. Hook, in the
presence of a very large number of
friends. The pall-bearers were: Jno. H.
Cope, E. C. Bruce, W. M. Brabham, C. R.
Brabham, Dr. F. F. Johnson and D. J.
Delk.
We extend sympathy to husband and
children in this hour of grief and sorrow,
and pray God, the Father, to comfort
them as He alone can comfort in such
trying experiences.
, Lectured the Jury.
Here is the way a St. Louis jury was
recently lectured by the presiding judge
and assistant circuit attorney after they
had acquitted a pretty woman of the
charge of larceny:
"Gentlemen of the jury, it is a pity that
a sickening flirtation between jnrors and
the defendant in a criminal case has the
power in this court to defeat the ends of
justice."
This was a part of a severe lecture given
by Judge Taylor to the jury which
had just acquitted Maud Williams,, a
pretty brunette, of the charge of robbing
Aldon Mather, a caller, of $400.
Judge Taylor said he was disgusted
with such action by men sworn to give
a fair and impartial verdict based upon
the law and evidence. He dismissed the
jurors and expressed the hope that none
of them would ever again be on a case in
his court.
Assistant Circuit Attorney G. Orrick
Bishop said: "Gentlemen I thank you for
your verdict in the name of all that is lawlawless
and shameless. I thank you for
the discriminating taste you have shown,
for the high order of citizenship you have
displayed in being influenced in your verdict
by a pretty woman's winks and a
glimpse at a bit of open-work stockings, j
You are a credit to your class."
A Modest Letter.
A Western editor received the following
very modest letter:
"Send me a few copies of the paper that
has the obituary and verses about the
death of mv child a few weeks ago.
"You will publish the enclosed clipping
^bout my niece's wedding. I also wish
you would mention in your local columns,
if it don't cost me anything, I have a few
spring calves for sale. My time is about
out and you can stop my paper."
Of Coarse He Didn't.
A lady, well dressed and pretty,
called at a Paris (Texas) national bank
the other day, handed the cashier a thousand-dollar
bill and asked to have it
changed. The cashier showed hesitancy
and surprise, whereupon the ladv "stooped
over," straightened up and flashed
nine other thousand-dollar bills in the
face of the astonished banker. It is a safe
bet that the cashier didn't see any money
while the lady was "stooped over."?
