MRS. H. L. SPEARS DEAD.
Mr*. John M. Daniel* An*went the Final
Huuiiuoiim, and Little Myrtle Sluipaon Is
TrauMpoi led to the Great lleyond to Meet
Her Creator.
The Death Angel has hovered over
this community the past few weeks
and he alighted Friday and Saturday,
carrying sorrow into the homes and
hearts of loved ones. Like the ma
jestic sweep of the soari-ng eagle as
lie descends slowly but surely from
his lofty abode, so death came slowly
but surely in our midst and claimed
as his reward some of the brightest
jewels that adorned our homes. ’
Last Friday morning it was cur
rently reported that Mrs. II. L.
Spears was dead. She had been
lingering at the point of death for
some time and the announcement
was not a surprise to the community.
Inquiry developed that the announce
ment was premature. Mrs. Spears
lingered until late into the afternoon
when the frail earthly tabernacle of
clay released the spirit that God had
intrusted to its keeping. The end
was peaceful and lamb-like, indi
cating the manner in which this ear
nest, noble Christian woman had
lived. The sorrow that had been
steadily bearing down upon the loved
ones became so oppressive that it
burst its bounds and spent its fury
upon the atmosphere. How weak is
poor suffering humanity; what little
comfort there is in kind words and
kinder deeds for those who labor un
der the cross of death. There is no
boon, except that every gift and every
perfect boon is from above, that can
heal the wounded heart.
Mrs. Spears was a Miss Gaffney,
daughter of the late Col. Win. Gaff
ney, and thirty-two years of age last
January. Thirteen years had elapsed
from the tfmo she stood as a bride
and was wedded to Hezekiah L.
Spears in the old First Baptist
church, to the day she lay in the cas
ket in the new church. Mrs. Spears
had been a member of this church
for twenty years and was a most ac
tive member, taking part in all the
various ladies’ organizations of the
ciiurch and doing all in her power to
promote the cause of the Man of
Galilee.
The funeral took place Saturday
afternoon at 2:ii0 and was largely
attended by her friends and those of
the family. The service was con
ducted by her beloved pastor, Rev. B.
P. Robertson, assisted by Prof. R. O.
Sams, who laid a loving tribute of re
spect upon tho bier of hia dead pu
pil. The interment took place at
Oakland cemetery, the body being
deposited along beside those of de
parted kindred wiio had gone before
to sleep in the city of the dead. The
pall-bearers were: Honorary—Prof.
R. O. Sams and Dr. S. B. Crawley ;
active—Alderman T, L. Brown, Dr.
Chas. Lipscomb, \V. M. Webster,
Prof. W. 0. McArthur and* Arthur C.
Pridmore.

Death of Mru. John M. DanlvU.
Mrs. Amanda, wife of Mr. John M.
Daniels, died at her home at Thickety,
in this county, lust Friday morning
at 9:30. Mrs. Daniels had been sick
more than a year and succumbed to
the ravages of cancer. Her lust days
were filled with pain almost unbear
able and death came as a relief to her
long suffering. Mrs. Daniels was
Amanda Smith, the daughter of Col.
tiiid Mrs. Samuel F. Smith, one of
tho largest planters of ante-bellum
days. She was married in January.
18G8, to Mr. John M. Daniel, who,
together with three children, survive
her. Her children are Mrs. Kd.
Turner, of this city, Mr. John Daniel,
Jr., 6t Rock Hill, and Mrs. William
Noblet, who resided with Mrs. Daniel
at Thickety. Mrs. Daniel was a con
sistent member of the Baptist church,
hplding her membership with the
First Baptist church of this city.
The funeral service took place from
the First Baptist church Saturday at
11 o’clock and was largely attended
by relatives and friends. The inter
ment took place at Limestone ceme
tery. The pull b r 'urers were Messrs.
J. T. Rodgers, W. F. Brown, F. G.
Br'ggs, Jonas Vassey, Prof. R. O.
Sums and Alderman J. H. Turner.
••Suffer Little ClilBlreu.”
Myrtle, the five year old daughter
of Mrs. Fannie Simpson, died at the
home of Mrs. Simpson on Logan
street early Friday morning, after
an illness of only three days. Mrs.
Simpson is a widow lady. She moved
to Gaffney from Peizer lust March.
Little Myrtle was one of the bright
beacons of her life that led. her on,
and tho extinguishing of the little
light was a sore afllictlon to the al
ready uillicted mother. May the God
of love give her grace to bear her sor
row. The funeral was conducted
Saturday afternoon by Rev. 8. T.
Creech and the little body laid to
rust in Oakland cemetery.
A WorkliiK UliurHi.
Sunday was “Silver Dollar Day” at
Dunton Chapel M. K. Church tbis
city, of which Rev. R. C. Campbell is
pastor. Only four weeks ago the
pastor told his members that he
wanted to raise one hundred dollars
on the fourth Sunday in October.
Kvery member, with tho exception of
a few, was on hand and paid his
dollar.
In behalf of the poor members of
the church R. C. Oorry and Abraham
Smith made personal contributions
of $tl 10 each. The total collection
for tiie day was $121.

The Athletic Entertainment.
The athletic entertainment at the
Opera House Friday night was a dis
appointment to the majority of the
audience that attended. The work
of the local talent was up to ex
pectation but the imported talent
failed to como up to the standard
that had been set for them. The au
dience was not a large one and the
promoters of the enterprise came out
in “the hole.” It is very evident
that the people of Gaffney care noth
ing for such entertainments and we
predict it will be a long time before
“the committee” will undertake an
other one of that character. It may
be depended upon, however, that
“the committee” will not go to sleep
but will scratch its head and spring
something altogether new on the
dear public.

On Sunday morning at 10 o’clock
at the home of the bride’s parents
Mr. L. H. Sanders and Miss Ida Horn
were united in the holy bonds of
matrimony by Rev \7. S. B. Ford, of
the Second Baptist church. The
ceremony was performed in the
presence of a number of the friends
of the contracting parties. The good
wishes of a large circle of acquain
tances attend the young couple upon
their voyage o’er the sea of matri
mony.

In the Crowded Street,
the church, the stores, the theatre, the one thing about a woman’s
apparel that excites the most interest in other women is her hat.
Men notice it only as it agrees with, or is out of harmony witli
her gown and gloves. This ‘ ‘crowning glory” which even crown’s
tho glories of her hair, must be suitable and becoming to face and
figure. Join the crowd, get your hat from us, it costs no more,
see us about it.
The Figure in the Corset
depends entirely upon the corset for its grace and beauty. There
is no reason why you should have to fit a corset. Buy a corset
that fits you. We sell that kind and they are just as cheap.
