We “doat” on our shoe department. We know you can find no cleaner or bet ter stock in upper South Caro lina. Bubscriburu in Boulmm Texas for a copy of the “Bonham Weekly Chron icle." The Chronicle is a bright, well gotten up paper and contains splendid cuts of Bonhams magnificent court house and banks and school buildings. It is full cfBonham and Fannin coun ty. The city of Bonham has a warm place in the hearts of all South Caro linians. Its first citizen, Bailey English, The Chronicle says, was a native of South Carolina and it was named for one of her most gallant sons, Col. John Bonham who fell fighting for Texas at the AInmo. He was a brother of Gov. M. L. Bon ham of this state, but The Chronicle is in error about the Governor being killed at the first battle of Manassas. He fought bravely there at the head of his brigade which occupied a con- spicuous place, but survived the bat tle, was elected Governor of the state and to other positions of honor and trust which he afterwards faithfully .filled and died a few years ago, at an advanced age full of honors. We also see Smith Lipscombs name in The Chronicle, which alone would make every Cherokeean grab it, like a government plum. Hurrah! for Bonham. Neglected Streets. That part of JcfTcries street between Limestone and Granard streets, and which is now used only as a dumping place for unsightly rubbish, should be looked after by our city authori ties and opened at once. The new settlers in that vicinity on both sides of the Southern Railway, make the opening of it, and putting it in first class shape a necessity. We trust that the council will look after it and, while wo are on streets v.e will call attention of the council to that portion of Birney street, between the Post Office and Capt. W. H. Richard son’s shops. It never has been properly looked after. It now needs a thorough overhauling, and its prominence requires that the work be of a permanent character. Churches last Sunday. Services were held last Sunday in the Presbyterian and Baptist churches by the pastors. Large con gregations attended and listened to instructive sermons. In the after noon a Temperance Rally was held at the First Baptist church. It was well attended and the audience was addressed by Mr. N. Lipscomb, Dr. S. B. Crawley. Prof. R. O. Sams, Rev. C. E. Robinson, Col. J. G. Wardlaw, Prof. Chambers, Prof. W. S. Hall, Mr. Justice and others. Considera ble interest was manifested and an other rally was called to be held on the afternoon of Sunday the 26th inst., the Presbyterian church.' Funeral of Mr. Hopper. It is our painful duty to announce the death of Melvin, the nine year old son of Hon. A. A. Sarratt, which occurred at his father's home on Limestone street in this city, ou last Sunday at 11 o’clock, a. m. The funeral was preached on Monday at the Methodist church by Rev. O. E. Robinson of the Presbyterian church. Little Melvin was buried in the family lot at Limestone cemetery, and was followed to his grave by his sorrow ing relatives, little school mates and many friends. The pall-bearers: wete Joseph McArthur, D. C. Ross, A. C. Pridmore, Thomas Brown and Thomas Clarkson. Death of Melvin Sarratt. The funeral of Mr. W. J.
