Survey of the proposed road from Vineland to South port is now being made and there is talk of another road from Florence, S. C , to Southport, pass ing through the lower section of Columbus county. The News Reporter says: "Kngineers were this week set to work to make a survey of the railway to be built from Vineland to Southport, passing directly through Whitevillo. The survey from Blaydenboro to our town has been made and the line practically defined and most of the right-of way in Brunswick countv, from the Wao camaw river to Southport, and that work is practically completed. The engineers will now take the field and decide where the road will run, and select tho best and most practical route. "No trade has as yet been made to precure the road bu.lt by tho Whifcevilie Lumber Co., and it is a matter of doubt if it is used as a part of, thi9 new system. It is said that a much better crossing of tho river has been found, where tho banks are steep, and it will require no ' " * ~ ~ ~ 4 L/\ o trr a rr\ ^ p trestn ng 10 crus??

When this survey is completed to Southport, the entire route from Bladenboro will be mapped out and contracts for grading let. "Wo have this week another great piece of news for the people in the lower part of Columbus county. We have definite information that a railroad will be built from Florence, S. C., to South port, and tho survey has been made to our State line. This means that those living in tho lower portion of our county will have a railroad. It is not known what route it will take, but by drawing a lino on the map from Florence, S. C., to Southport, you can guess at the route. This road will cut off the extreme corner of Columbus county and must, pass either directly through or very near Mollie and Pireway.

The deith nn^el visited the home of Mr William Lee, of Dulah and tool; hi in away from us, but we hope to me< t him agaiu in the sweet bye and bye. He was born September 27th, 1857 and died March 81st, 1910. He leaves a loving wife, nine children, four girl and live boys, two brothers, one sister and a largo circle of relatives and frioi ds to mourn their loss, but wliile we mourn we nope it is his eternal gain. He joined the Good llope Baptist in early life and there he remained a faithful member until his death His remains were laid to rest at (iood Hope cemetery. He was sick only a little while. He went to Conway that day and when he returned home he was taken suddenly ill and died that night. All that loving hands and willing hearts could do could not stay the hand of death. This sudden death caused sadness and sympathy in the neighborhood as well as in the home. He was a kind husband and a loving father. Dear Jesus help us to iive such lives as thou wouldst have us live; guide and keep from all harm, and dear Jesus tell him that we will meet him in that better home. Now dear Father be with and comfort his loved ones that they may say as 1 have said "Thy will be done." "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord. And in his law doeth he meditate day and night." We extend our sympathy to the bereaved wife and children and the | entire family connection, and may (lod's grace be sufficient for them in this their hour of bereavoment. Truly we can say: A loving one from earth is gone, l * . I 1 ; _ _ a. i t | voice we loveo is sun, A place is vacant in the home, Which never can be filled. May we all find a home in heaven when our earthly task is done. His Loving Friend, Mattie Thompkins, ? ? -? ?? Death of .V\r? Sarali Delano Dnscnbury. Mrs Sarah Delano Dusenbury was born on November 24th, 18147, in Piscataquis county, Maine, aud de parted this life at her home at Socastee on Mav 3rd, 1910. She was a daughter of John and Mohitable Delano. She graduated from the State Normal School at Castine and taught near her parents' home in that State for several years, also taught school at Seasport, Maine, and one or two terms in the State of Illinois. Early in life she united with the church and up to the time of her death sho was a devoted church worker, being always particularly interested in missionary work. She was a devoted member of Sacastee Methodist church at the time of her death. While teaching at Seasport, Me , the late Mr William Buck met her and engaged her to come to South ^ > I ?> ? iw !

She taught at that place for several terms making many friends, After this, she returned to Maine where she was engaged in her profession of teaching for a number of years. On October 2nd, 1881, at the home of her sister, Mrs Blanchard, at Abbott, Me., she was married to Mr James K Dusenbury and moved with him to Socastee where the rest of her life was spent. She leaves one sister, Mrs J. II Blanchard, two brothers, John Delano and Washington W. Delano, of Maine, and eight step-children as followsMessrs Chas Dusenbury and C. B.

She was a loving and devoted step-mother. When the dark shadows were I gathering around his home and the] wings of death were enshrouding, the form of his youngest daught r, j the great love which ho bare for Conway empelled Mr W. H. Chadbourn to write to the Herald, "telli your people that the through train to Wilmington will bo put on and I am informed that it will be 01 seven days in the week."

On the evening of May 7th, 1910, the deith angel visited our home aud to )U from us, our darling little girl L zzie Marion Sawyer. She was on v spared to live with us two 3'ears and one month, but during this ti 1113, by her love aud sweetness won the love and friendship of all who knew her. On Tuesday morning our sweet little darling arose as sweet and well as usual but about 12 or 1 o'clock wo discovered that she was sick. All was dono that loving hands could do, but it was soon seen that nothing but death could relieve the little sulTere** and on Saturday about 2 o'clock it breathed its l^st. Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep, Which none evjr wake to wctp, A calm and undisturbed reposed, Unbroken by the last of foes. She was buried the following day at the Parker graveyard. The funeral services were conducted by Rev Mr skipper at the home in the presence of many sorrowing frieuds and relatives. The Mower contriuutions were many aud beautiful. The little darling was given to us April 8th, 11)08, to stay only long enough to become th) joy and sunshine of our hearts and home. Then comes those painful words, "ahe is gone,'' Asleep in Jesus, oh! how sweet. We are so painfully grieved and lonely, but we know our lltaveuly Father knew best. Though we feel like our hearts will break we can only sav the Lord gave and the Lord taketh away, blest be the name of the Lord. May our prayers ever be to meet our dear little darling at the heavenly gate where there wi 1 be no more pain, sorrow nor parting. All will be joy and happiness. Thei e .ve can recall that sweet remembeiauce of the sweet little loved one gone before. Mother and Father, Mr and Mrs '1. B. Sawyer. C Messrs W II Chadbourn of Wilmington, and W 11 Chadbourn, Jr., of Chicago,, Illinoise, were visitors in Conway this week. Contractar II P Little has received a large quantity of material which he will use in laying the cement sidiwalk that will extend from the corner of J M McKeithan's residence to the corner of the new school house square at the extreme northern end of Main street. The work will go forward without delay. Mrs Brudence Graham an aged lady of thisjeounty died at the old homestead on May 11th. She was the widow of the late L D Graham who was a well known citizen of Horry. Messrs J Q Graham, of Loris, and J I) Graham, of Seville, Florida, are among her surviving : l .1 U LI I HI I f II . There was a hearing at the courthouse last Thursday before J O Nortou as referee in three cases for division of land brought bv the widow of the late James II Hux against David J Hux. The taking of the testimony consumed the entire day, and the room where the evidence was taken was crowded with witnesses and spectators throughout the day. The next improvement for which the people of Conway and near by country are lookirg for is the erection of tho bridge across the Waccamaw liiyer just across Ivu^ston Lake, and the building of a county road from Conway over the new bridge in a straight line to Myrtle Beach. The building commission would lind it hard to give a good reason whoy thy are not all ready proceeding with this work which could have been completed in time for tho summer of 11)10. Several months ago the plans had been coinp'etedar.d all necessary surveys had been made, but since that time nothing further has been done, and tho work his not yet been started. If some move is not made in the near future the public will 110 doubt inquire the reason of the delay. YOU CM CURE THAT FACKACBE Cain along tln> bark, dizziness, headache rnd general languor.
