Once more the death shadow passes over the community and carries gloom and sorrow into a sunshiny and happy home; bright eyes are dimmed with tears, hearts are burdened with an almost unbearable weight of sorrow, a husband is made wifeless, a pre cious little cherub is tnade motherless, mother and father lose a dutiful daughter and sisters and brothers lose a loving and devoted sister; but in the midst of it all may those who are most deeply efiiicted be able to say, ‘‘Thy will be done, O Lord.” It was just as the evening shadows began to fall, the birds were chirping their evening farewell, the cattle had ceased their lowing on the hills and started for the shed, the laborers had ceased their week of toil and were wending their way homeward, as Amelia Downey, beloved wife of Dr. James H. Downey, finished her days of earthly toil and her spirit wended its way to its eternal home in the great beyond—it was 7:30 Saturday evening. About three weeks ago Mrs. Downey came from Pacolet to Gaffney to visit her parents, Prof, and Mrs. H. P. Griffith. She brought with her a little bright-eyed baby girl, the surviver of twins that came to bless the home but about six weeks before, and mother and daughter re ceived that welcome that can only bo bestowed by fond parents and grandparents. It was only a few days after her arrival until Mrs. Downey came up town. The day was raw and chilly and as a conse quence of exposure to the weather Mrs. Downey contracted an illness that terminated fatally. As the days came she grew worse, until at last the trouble developed into peritonitis, deaib resulting about four days later. Mrs. Downey did not realize that death was near until a short while before the end came She was so young, and life held for her so many charms that it was difficult for her to realize that the sands of life were rapidly passing away. It was when a brother imorinted a kiss upon her whitening forehead that she called for her little babe, realizing that that was to be the last time for her to knowingly clasp the little darling to her breast. The scene was one whose pathos beggars description. Mrs. Drwoey was formerly Miss Amelia Griffith. Everybody in Gaff ney will remember her as one of the most lovable characters that ever claitned Gaffney as her home. It was in 1898 that she was wedded to Dr. Downey, of Pacolet, and moved from Gaffney to cast her lot among others. That she won the admiration and respect of all with whom she came In contact in her new home was evinced by the large concourse of people who came over Qunduy to pay their respects to the departed. De ceased was about twenty-eight years of age. She had been a consistent member of the Baptist church for so.ne years. The funeral was conducted at Oak land Cemetery Sunday afternoon at o o’clock, the exercises being con ducted by Rev. II. J. Haynesworth, of Pacolet, and Rev. F. C. Hickson, ot this city. The ceremony was exceedingly appropriate and beauti fui. The attendance was perhaps the largest that has gathered In this oily on a similar occasion. The pall bearers were gMessrs. W. F.

Tonight the Union Dramatic Club will present ‘‘A Rival by Request” at the opera house. Already we have published the exceedingly compli mentary notice given the club and the play by the Union Times. Be sides the merit attached to the play there is the social feature of enter taining our neighbors, and as several of the players are well known here there can be but small doubt that the opera house will be well filled. Dr. Mu ray Hair, once a resident of Gaffney, is among the cast, besides several popular and well known ladies of Union, to say nothing about the gentlemen. Then again, there is hardly any likelihood that there will be anything else here in the nature of a show until the latter part of September, so let all who de sire to spend a pleasant evening take advantage of this opportunity. Prolific Bee*. Mr. M. C. Spencer, who lives in the Home neighborhood, has had ,quite a profitable experience with a swarm of bees. In June of last year he settled a swarm of bees, and has since paid little or no attention to them. Last month this gum swarm ed four times in seven days, and Mr. Spencer has successfully hived each awarm. Mr. Spencer was in town yesterday and stated that there were indications that his bees were pre paring to swarm again. It will not be long before Mr. Spencer will have an abundance of honey, and there is nothing that can be produced with as littlo care and expense and so much profit to the owner of the bees as honey, and the wonder to us is that more people do not encourage bee culture.
