Mrs. Mahalie J. Copeland, wife of
Mr. John J. Copeland, died December
22, at her home near Ehrhardt,
at the age of 63 years and 7 days.
Mrs. Copeland was a consistent
member of Mt. Pleasant Evangelical
Lutheran church. She| attended
regularly and promptly all the services
of her church until two months
[before death. She took an active
part in the Sunday school, in which
she had been a teacher for many
years, and was among the first to advance
the work of the Woman's
Home and Foreign Missionary Society,
whose faithful and efficient
treasurer she had been for many
years. She leaves a devoted husband,
brother, sister and a host of
friends to mourn her death. After
appropriate services by her pastor
on Tuesday morning, her body was
laid to rest in Mt. Pleasant cemetery.
New Pastor.
The Fairfax correspondent of The
State wrote that paper under date
December 15: "Rev. J. A. Beal,
who has served Fairfax, Brunson
1 TT* -1 ^ /*Un>?/>V?AC
anc niCKory uruve uiuiuiw
as pastor this year, preached his
farewell sermon here today. He
will continue as pastor of Brunsoc
and Hickory Grove churches, bul
the Fairfax church has entered into
a pastoral field with Great Salkehatchie
and Bethel churches anc
Rev. C. H. Turner, of Alabama, hai
been called to the pastorate of the
newly formed field. Mr. Turnei
has accepted the call and will take uj
his work here the first of January
next. He will reside in Fairfax."
Married.
On Wednesday afternoon, December
18th, though the day had been
very misty and was still disagreeable,
quite a crowd gathered at the
home of Mrs. E. E. Mitchell at Clear
Pond, to witness the marriage ceremony
of her daughter, Miss Rebekah,
to Mr. John Henry Pearson.
Promptly at 4 o'clock Miss Georgie
Emma Jordan and Mr. Charlie Mitchell
came into the parlor, followed
closely by the bride and groom to be,
where they were in a few, but beautiful
words, made man and wife by
Rev. S. P. Chisolm, of Colston.
The bride was attired in pearl
errey with white trimmings, and
never looked fairer than on her
bridal eve.
Miss Jordan was dressed in seal
brown with cream trimmings.
The groom and his best man wore
black suits with white waist coats.
The bride is one of Clear Pond's
sweetest maidens and is of very
quiet, unassuming manners.
The groom is a son of Mr. Henry
Pearson, of our community, and is
of good behavior and kind disposition.
They received many useful presents.
The writer, with their other
many friends, extends congratulations
and best wishes for years of
happiness and prosperity.
Negro Killed.
Laurens, Dec. 29.?The only holiday
killing in this county so far is reported
from Goldville, which occurred
last night about 8 o'clock,
Dave Hunter, a negro originally
from Union county, being the victim.
It seems that Hunter was
standing out about the railway
track, in front of the stores, when he
was shot through his head, being instantly
killed. Just who fired the
fatal shot is not known, and as there
had been a good deal of promiscuous
shooting around during the night, it
is difficult to say whether Hunter
was killed by design or whether he
was t.Vip victim of an accidental stray
shot.
Sheriff Duckett was notified of
the killing and two officers were
sent to the scene late last night to
make an investigation. Up to noon
today it is understood that no arrests
have been made in connection
with the tragedy.
Severely Burned.
Mrs. W. E. Spann was severely burned
last Wednesday night at her home in
this city. There was no one at home at
the time except herself and her two
little girls. Mrs. Spann is not in good
health and she had a sudden fainting
spell and fell near the fire place withher
feet in the fire. The older of the little
girls ran for help, but the little tot, only
six years old, tried to drag her mother
away from the fire.? She finally got her
feet out, and got water and was putting
out the fire when help came. Mrs.
Spann's shoes had already been burned
through to the flesh and her clothing
was also on fire. While Mrs. Spann is
painfully and seriously burned, she is
getting along as well as could be expect
ed.
. Ehrhardt Etchings.
Erhardt, Dec. 30.?Christmas quietly
passed here, and we are glad to say that
few were seen under the influence of
liquor.
Mr. J. W. Priester's two sisters spent a
few days with him last week.
Mr. Ben Morris and wife are visiting
his parents.
Mr. Joe I. Copeland had a family reunion
Sunday.
Merchants are all busy taking account
of stock. Trade is dull and merchants
are feeling blue over this year's business.
We haven't had any decent Christmas
weather yet.
The weather is very warm for this time
of the year.
Mr. Perry Padgett and Sidney spent a
day with his son, Mr. Philip Padgett.
They will return to Florida today.
Mrs. Lizzie Lane spent a few days in
town with her brother, Mr. Phil Padgett,
last week.
Dr. J. L. Copeland will leave for Florida
today to join his family.
Dr. J. Lv Copeland and his brother
Isaac went to Bamberg last week on a
business trip.

Most of them want higher wages, which
the farmers refuse to pay.
Our graded school opened up this morning?earlier
than most of the schools.
Mr. J. C. Kinard went on a hunt with
several of his friends about four or five
miles below Green pond. They killed
five deer but Mr. Kinard says that he did
1 not get a shot. Says he caught some fine
trout. They report a good time.
The bird hunters say that there is nol
much fun hunting birds now. Too mud

can get.

Are You Sure Your Kid"
neys are Well ? '
Many rheumatic attacks are due to
uric acid in the blood. But the duty of
the kidneys is to remove all uric acid
from the blood Its presence there
shows the kidneys are inactive. Don't
dally with "uric acid solvents." You
might go on till doomsday with them,
but until you cure the kidneys you will
never get well. Doan's Kidney Pills not
only remove uric acid, but cure the kidneys
and then all danger from uric acid
is ended
Rupert B. Calvo, bookbinder, employed
at The State Publishing Co., official
printers for the State of South Carolina,
living at 1010 Lumber St., Columbia, S.
C., says: "I thought I had rheumatism
and treated for it on that belief. I used
all kinds of liniments. The pain was in
my back and in my hips clear to the
shoulders. The liniments did no good
and I took to blood medicines but they
did not help me. I took a long trip in
hopes that the change of climate might
help me. I was away for three months
but could see no change for the better.
I heard of Doan's Kidney Pills and determined
to try themi and got a box at
a drug store. They completely removed
-no in a on* nf mv hflrk and I have not
