U _ ' < In /We in orla in. On December the 24th, 11)09, at about 12:H0 in the early morn, came the death angel, to the old home of Franklin A. Prince, near Lor is, S. | C., and took from us, the baby of the family, Andrew Fletcher, in the i bloom of life, aud in his 25th year. Fletcher had contracted the deadly white plague, tuburcelosis, about" one year ago, after recovering from a very severe case of pnoumouia, by exposing himself to early in a desire to always faithfully perform j }?ic ilntiaa l-lc ni'io I >u uuvivji no nao wuiiViCUU L LI il l; 1 he would out live the terrible plague j and sought reliof in the mountains of North Carolina during the summer, where he gradually improved but upon his return home in the winter, he seemed to decline and became weaker, until the end came, which was very sudden, and as a young babe dropping oil' to sleep in its mother's arms. His devoted and every watchful wife and mother, with a few relatives and friends, were by his bedside when the spirit of this noble bov, who had made a brave but uu successful light for life, passed away to join the angels above. His death was a great shock to his many relatives and friends, and his friends were many, as to know him was t > love him. He was a Mason and ai Woodman, loyal to the fraternities, and his life w as an emblem of Christian love, morality and virtue. He joined the Pleasant Home Baptist i church early in youth, of which his old father was a life long and faith-1 ful member, and who preceded him to the Heavenly home some twelve years before, and since his confession, he has been one of its strongest and most faithful members, always desiring to do his Master's work. Ho was devoted to His Sunday school, and will bo greatly missed in his church and community where he was known. Fletcher was an obedient son, a 1 -l -i ^ - uevoieu ana uiieouonate husband, and a loving father. lie was married to Miss Susie Golda Rowell, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. V. T. Rowel), of Nichols, on the seventeenth day of February, nineteen huudred and three, who survives him: also three precious little jewels to them were given, tho brighten and make happy their home, Burris, Louiso audEvelyo. All was done for him that medical science, and liio tender and affectionate hands of a loving and devoted wife and mother could do, but the summons came, and the will of our Heaveniv Father was done. The funeral services were conducted at the old home, about three o'clock Christmas day, by the Rev. S. B Wilson, of Fair BiulT, and the enterment took place immediately following the impressive services, which are a living tribute to the memory of our loved one, and will ever be borne upon our hearts as dear to l.is memory. The body was laid to rest in the Princeville Cemetery, in tho family lot, by the local Masonic order, to await the resurrection morn. The Woodmen will hold their services later at the unveiling of the Monument. While we mourn our loss, our hearts go out in deepest spmpathy to the broken-hearted wife and mother, still we know that our loss ib ins eternal gain, and we shall someday meet him face to face, and know as we have known. A precious one from us has gone, The voice we loved is stilled. A place is vacant in our homo, That can never be filled. A Nephew And Wife, Columbia, S C. Special ShIc Swift* Pride Soap.

Hut not so, wi were met by both teacher and pu oils and given a hearty hand shaki and a cot dial welcome was exrend cd each of us. We were asked t< take reserved seats, which wo dii all. in a group and almost afraid l< move our feet because of such per feet order. There we sat, with om hearts all no in our throats guzinj at the beautiful decorations an listening to tie teacher. On tin walls were beautiful pictures ani wall mottoes. We noticed a von large picture of Washington ant were told that ho was reared by t mother from eleven years old Across the rear of the bunding wen Uniud States II igs arranged so tha one crossed the other Clear across the building on a new bluck-boarc was written a very appropriate program which consisted of songs essays, recitations and tlag drills 1Cvery feature of the program point ed out the duties of a mother, eithei toward her children or to tin school A very interesting essay was reac on cooperation of both parent anc teacher. Our presence seemed tc in -pi re both toucher and pupils anc our hearts were made lighter b} having made this visit. Lot me say to the mothers thai we arc too prone to think that al wo leave to do with our school is tc stay at home and grumble and abuse the teacher when Mary or J a met get .ickud. A Mother. A Serious f>lfficuity Averted. It is reported that there came near being serious trouble ntai Socnstee on January liith between Geo. W. Watts, M. W. Watts and John Smith, The trouble arose over a tract of land which the Wat ts had been forbidden to enter. When Smith gave; them the notice an ar gument arose and the elder Watts drew a shot gun on Mr. Smith ll seems that he had thodrop on Smitl for some time until Smith managoc fri rnnf li "f I ?

Just at thai moment Mrs. Smith caught tho gin and throw it out of Smith's face and ho then covered Watts with th< pistol.
