AFTER A LONG ILLNESS. Mrs. .lultn A. Kendrick I’aAsed Away Sun day Morning at Her Home on Oakland Avenue In Her Hlxtletli Year—Native of I'nlon County. Sunday norning at fifteen minutes after nine o'clock when birds were pouring forth their sweetest caro- iiogs—when the sun was shining brightly, the air soft and balmy and laden with ti.e fragrance of a thous and flowers and blossoms, and when all nature was rejoicing over the birth of a beautiful spring morning, the soul of Mrs. Julia A. Kendrick was wafted to a fairer land than this, where all seasons are springtime and where shines in splendor the orb of eternal day. Mrs. Kendrick died at the home of her son-in-law, Mr. Elmore LeMas- ter, on Oakland avenue, after an ill ness of about three months. She bad been in bad health for a number of years, but not until recently did she break down completely and take to her bed. Her husband, Mr. Frank Kendrick, died here about eighteen months ago, and as all of ber children save one were away from home, and she in declining health, she recently broke up house keeping and went to live with her son-in-law, Mr. LeMaster. Here she had every attention, and everything was done for her comfort that loving hearts could devise and loving hands execute; but all to no avail. The splendid vital power that had upheld her for so long gave way at last and she went to join the loving husband who left her a year ago. Mrs. Kendrick was born near Skull Shoals, in Union county, on Sept. 9th, 1841 and was therefore something over fifty-nine years of age. In early life she became con verted and joined the Baptist church □ear ber country home where she remained a consistent member until her death. Her maiden name was Dillard, and she was from one of the most prominent families in this sec tion of the country. She was mar ried during the late war to Mr. A. Franklin Kendrictf, a brave and gal lant soldier in the Confederate army who was at home on a furlough at the time. The fruits of that union were nine children, six of whom are still living, four married and two ■ingle. The married are, Mrs. Milton D. Reaves, cow in Qeorgia; Mrs. Cluff Inman, of this county; Mrs. M. B. Brissle, of Union, and Mrs. El more LeMaster, of this city. Miss Sallle, the only unmarried daughter, resided with her mother here, and Arthur, the youngest son, has a posi tion with Mr. C. D. Whitman, in Spartanburg. Mrs. Kendrick was one of those good, motherly women whom It it a genuine pleasure to know, and her influence for good was great in the community that knew her so long. Her faith was simple aud childlike, yet she was a true Chris tian aud never wavered Id her devo tion for the cause of right aod Justice nor in her belief of a glorious reward beyond the grave. Lovlog memories of ber and her goodness will long be cherished by those who were accustomed to associate with her lo ber every-day life, and she has left a place in their hearts and in their midst which can never be filled. She was a good woman aod oever failed to do good to those around her, and she has now gone to the reward which we are told awaits tbs lovsrs of Christ in tbs isnd of stsrnal joy and happiness. Tbs funersl services wers held at the horns on Oakland avenue and oonduotsd by Hsv. F. C. Hickson. Tbs remains were laid away in Oak land cemetery, where many fond hearts bads a last fsrswsli to the dear one whom they loved to life. To the grief-stricken ones who are bereft of a mother and a friend, we tender our deepest sympathy, and hundreds join us In expressions of condolence to the sorrowing fimily. What's Your Parc Worth?

A noted mechanical inventor being asked at a dinner given in bis honor, "What after the bicycle?” replied: "Gentlemen, there will never be any successcr to'the bicycle.” And when asked to give his reason for so posi tive a statement explained: "Because there can never be a less amount of material put together with greater skill, that will answer the purpose of human locomotion with greater pleasure and ease, or at less original cost and current expense to the rider. To consider its lightness; its delicate beauty of appearance; strength and endurance; the price at which it is sold; the uses it serves and the pleasure and health it gives the rder, it must unhesitatingly be pronounced the consummate achieve ment of our mechanical development and the most beneficent contribution that invention has made to civiliza tion. It is so unique and super latively perfect that it ha* no rival and can have no successor.” For Sale The Practice Prohibited. Orders have been issued from the postoffice department in Washington strictly forbidding the placing of a letter or letters under the straps of a mail bag, or anywhere on the outside of the bag. At stations where the mail trains do not stop and where the mail bag is caught from a rack, letters that are too late to be made up with outgoing mail are often placed on the outside of the mail bag to be taken in with it. Consequently, if the bag is dropped from the traio, as is frequently the case, such letters are either lost, stolen or greatly dam aged—the latter especially, if the weather be bad. This practice has caused the postal authorities to issue orders as stated above. State —nkerg’ Association. The bankers of South Carolina are about to form a State Bankers Asso ciation, and they will have a meeting in Columbia on May 8th for the pur pose of organizing. Every banker in the State is invited to send a repre sentative to that meeting. A num ber of names of prominent banners throughout the State are signed to the call for the meeting in Columbia, aud among them is that of Mr. F. G. Stacy, president of the National Bank of Gaffney. These associations have proved valuable in other States, and the South Carolina bankers are confident that one will be equally as valuable to their interests in this State. on Grand Lodge K. of P. The Grand Lodge Knights of Py tbias will meet in Spartanburg Tuesday May 21st. Converse Col lege will entertain the members, to gether with the visiting Knights and their wives and lady friends. About five hundred guests are expected to attend, and a large number will probably go from Gaffney.
