Welcome Death's doings under any circum stances sends a thrill of grief to the soul of loved ones, hut that grief is made doubly sad when the victim of mortality is a young and noble life which gives promise of much good ness or is one who has lived long to ho cherished and loved by those who have been nearest and dearest to them. But death is no respecter of persons and comes to t he aged and the young alike and wo can hut look and see that He who holds the in t he hollow U, 1!Y? over highly respected men of this com- i inanity, died at his home about live miles from the city on Proud River | Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Stacy was eighty-iive years of age. He was the i father of a large family of children. ' some of whom have become promi- i nent. He had been a farmer all his life and was a successful one. He \ was a devoted member of the Baptist i church and was prominent in church | work. He leaves the legacy of an j honored name to those who hear it. i The remains were interred at prov idence church grave yard Wednesday afternoon. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. E. C. Robertson, of the Presbyterian church in the ab sence of the pastor, Rev. B. P. Rob ertson. The pall-bearers wore Na than Littlejohn, A. C. Pridmore, j Boyd Humes, John Holland, J. P, | Shufford and D. Gland Ross. Wyatt MeDonal Lipscomb, son of Mr. and Mrs. Win. Smith Lipscomb, died at Lipscomb’s Hotel on Tues day afternoon about 2 o’clock, after an illness 01 three weeks,of an attack of typhoid fever. Mr. Lipscomb was twenty-four years or age and was a most promising young man. For the past three years he was as sistant hook keeper for the Pucolet Manufacturing Company and was held in the highest esteem. The funeral was conducted Wednesday morning frum the Bap tist church by the Rev. J. D. Hug gins, of Pacolet, in the absence of the pastor. Mr. Lipscomb was a member of Mr. Huggin’s church at Pacolet. Mr. Huggins was assisted in the ceremony by Revs. C. E. Rob ertson and G. M. Boyc^, of the Pres byterian and Methodist churches, respectively. Mr. Huggins paid a tribute to deceased’s purity of life and was very touching in his personal remarks concerning his friend. The remains were interred at Limestone Cemetery. The pall hearers were Nathan Littlejohn, Claud Ross. Claud McArthur, George Brown, Dr. J. H. Downy, K. C. Presnell, C. M. Stall- worth and Perrin Thompson. The latter four were from Pac'det. Something New. A piano, a harp and a rmndolui, all combined in one, and any person who can play the piano can produce any of the effects without special preparation. Its a wonder, and our Prof. Johnson 1ms it; and if you will take your best girl round to Ins store on Saturday’s lie’ll play for you. Of course you are expected to buy a piano, hut then he is so often disappointed in that way that lie's got used to it. All joking aside, this ‘‘Ossian Attachment” is wonderful, and we beg all our readers to hear it. This is one of the results of Prof. Johnson’s late visit to Cincinnati, and one of the latest of musical novelties, The man who “had rather hoar a banjo than a planner any day” can now he accommodated. This attachment can be placed on any of the pianos sold by him, and at a small cost, and does not inter fere in tlm slightest degree with its effectiveness as a piano. Unclaimed Letters.

The energy devoted h making this a paper worthy of s- ,.,- port is too great, to allow people to get the benefit of it without paying for it and as we are unable to dis criminate we have decided to adopt the strictly cash in advance system. You need not pay for more than three or six months if you don’t want to hut when your time expires the paper will be discontinued unless ** ’•nuew.
