That “music hath powers to soothe the homesick girl” wa* the forcible impression of each Limestone stu dent on last Friday evening, when the teachers of the music depart ment gave them the benefit of such a choice and delightful program. Quito a number of people from town were present, and since they claim that “Limestone’s interests are Gaff ney’s interests,” they could hardly fail to appreciate the high talent of the music department, and could but rejoice that they have such artists in their midst. Mias Richardson, the elocution teacher, assisted in the recital and her selections were much enjoyed. From the first number, so artisti cally rendered by Mr. Brown and Miss Steedly, until the last song, the audience was spell-bound. The contrast between the deep tones of Beethoven’s “Theme and Variations” and the light and flowing style of Mendelssohn's “Rondo Gapicioso” was strikingly brought out by Miss Steedly who pluyid with great skill and feeling. Mrs. Brown’s rich voice was heard to excellent advantage in the first three songs she sang, and she sang “Children’s Songs” with charm and grace. One may always expect much in Prof. Brown’s playing and in Gotts- ehalk’s “Tremolo Etude” his display of musical skill was marvelous. Miss Richardson put much life and feeling into both of her selections, and the audience followed her as se riously and sympathetically in Ihe scenes from Romeo and Juliet as they afterwards enjoyed with her the pleasures of “Sunday Fishin’.” As the last piano solo was rendered by Miss Steedly ail began to realize, that the charm was nearly over. But not quite yet; for the duot so gracefully and churmipgly uing by Mr. and Mrs. Brown had a magical cll'ectj and made the admiring listen ers exclaim with them in apprecia tion of the song, “O Moment that I bless.” It seemed indeed to last only a moment, but tiie very memory of it will be delightful. Mr. and Mrs. Brown rendered it on a previous occasion here and should they kindly consent to sing it in the future it will never fail to have its same magical charm. The town people, as weil as the College students, hopo that Lime stone’s teachers will not “be weary of well doing” but will, in their charity, soon give us another such treat. A NOTED SABRE. it w an Carried Through the Seminole In dian War and the Ci\il War. 0. P. Scott, a gentleman of the old school, who i£.jiow making his home here wiLh'ftie^aughter, Mrs. \V. II. Pierson, has in his possession a reiic of the 1 days that were” that would make a curio seeker’s eyes turn green with envy to behold it und bis heart born with a desire to possess it. Tins relic is in tiie shape of a sword, or rather a sabre, and is a striking memento of stirring times and bloody scenes that were enacted in our iuir .Southland sixty-five years ago—when tiie dark clouds of war rolled over the fur South und once more blotted out the light of peace and happiness tiiat hart just dawned upon the land, and when the green, waving forests echoed to thy wild vvarwhoops of blood-thirsty savagrs, widen sent a chill to many a lender heart and blanched the cheeks of bravo men. This sabre that is now in Jr. .Scott's possession was carried through the Seminole war in Florida, during the year of 1835, by Major Abram Jones, of Edgefield, who was captain of a company in the war with the Indians. Major Jones was a dashing ollic- r ana u bravo und darr ing man, and it may be that “ids sword did not always return bloodless to its scabbard.” Any way, it would bo interesting to know whether the life-blood of a t-uvage ever darkened the blade of the sabre that Mr. 8cott h.:s shown us. When it came into his possession he wore it during his connection with a militia emnpany from tiie rank of lieutenant up to a captain, and until the Civil \Var broke out. It next did service in tiie hands of Capt. A M. Benson, who command* d a company of reserves at Columbia when Sherman made Ids famous (or infumour) and dtqrtpfhiivo march through tiie tsoull..^^ Mr. Scott has been the owner of I lie sabre for fifty years, and it must lie at b ast seventy-five or eighty years old—probably a hundred, for aught that any one tmiy know to the con trary, and it is, indeed, n valuable relic handed down from a generation long since passed away. It wi.l be sent to tiie association of survivors of the Confederate war in Augusta, Ga., und it will be un appropriate addition to their museum An Ouilftftioii.

Last Sunday afternoon between three and four o’clock when the earth was bathing in the liquid streams of dazzling splendor that came down from a cloudless sky, a dark shadow fell across a happy homo circle and the spirit of a bright genial, boy took its everlasting flight. It was the spirit of William Whelchel, the little son of Mr. and Mrs. G. C. Wilkins, who died at the home of his parents in this city after a two weeks’iilncss with pneumonia. Willie was about four years old and was the light and joy of his parents’ hearts. He was cut down in the very morning of his existence—just when the flowers of life were beginning to bloom and the song-birds of hopo wero beginning to tune their highest notes for purest and sweetest carol- ings. But God deeth all things well, and in His loving arms may Wil liam’s spirit dwell. The little body was laid away in Oakland cemetery and many sorrow ing relatives and .friends looked on as the cold, dump earth closed over the beloved remains. The bereaved fam ily have the sympathy of the entire city in their hour of affliction. Sum .Iouth in YurUvIlle.

The train will leave Gaff ney at 4:30 p. m , and will leave Yorkville on the return trip imme diate! v after the lecture. Every woman loves to th!nk of the time when a soft little body, all her own, wiil nestle in her boeom, fully satisfying the yearning which lies in the heart of every good woman. But yet there is a black cloud hovering about the pretty picture in her mind which fills her with terror. The dread of childbirth takes away much of the joy of motherhood. And yet it need not be so. For sometime there has been upon the market, well-known and recommended by physicians, a liniment called lolefs friend v/hich makes childbirth as simple and easy as nature intended it. It is a strengthening, penetrating liniment, which the skin readily absorbs. It gives the muscles elasticity and vigor, prevents sore breasts, morning sick ness and the loss of the girlish figure.
