Larry Oantt ami the Capitalists. Larry Gantt and a delegation of great Reform Lights passed through Laurens on Saturday. They woro on route to tho mammoth farm of a Mr. Smith in Georgia. Of course the readers of the Headlight will bo en lightened upon how a great planting Interest is conducted with convict la bor and a hundred mules, and cotton produced at three cents a pound; but the secret of how the poor one mule farmer can compete with these big capitalists will not be revealed. Larry may make a study of how big trusts and syndicates and wealthy nabobs can create pleasant haciendas at the South: bow their collars may groan with ripe old Faiornian to gladden tho heart; and evolving the lessons tobe derived from their contemplation and enjoyment, cheer the hearts of future generations in tho Old Iron District, in the meanwhile, he will advise tho small farmer of Spartanburg to prac tice economy, speed tho plough and diversify his crops. Death of Kev. Marion Iloyd. The sudden death of Rov. Marion Boyd, presiding elder for this district, near Spartanburg last Tuesday will causo great sorrow all over tho State. The following account of his death was given in the Spartanburg Herald: "Mr. Boyd left home Saturday morn ing to hold a quarterly conference at Lebanon church, near Rich Hill. Ho was in unusually good health and very cheerful. The weather was so disagree able Sunday that no services were held, so in the afternoon he e included to re turn homo. Tl.e Fosters, however, per suaded him to remain over night with them, as it was so cold. Just before dark they were all sitting around tho fire talking when the summons came, and in an instant Mr. Boyd wkb dead.? Ho Irtavea a wifo and five children, two boys and three girls, at homo to mourn his loss. Ho also has two married daughters and two married sons. It seems very hard that they should bo so stricken witli grief while he is enjoying the sternal peace," A .lapaiicso Itceclpt. FiBh is the chief articlo of diot of the Japanoso; dried and salted, it is, with rice, the only food of tho lower classes: but every one Is vory fond of fish, and there tire a thousand ways of dressing it daintily. Craks aro killed by making them swallow a bumpor of sako, which is probably anything but pleasant to them, but gives tboin a very delicate taste. Tho Spirit called shoyn, which is made of tho fermonted julcos of several different kinds of grain, and which tastes like Liebig's extract di luted with brandy, seasons large lishos admirably, but generally the Jnpanoso prefer to cat them raw! and they aro not altogether in tho wrong.

While we regret tO'glVO up Walter, we hope he has gone to a better land, where there is no sorrow, pain nor death, but where all is love, peace and health. The family have our sympathy in their great bereavement. On last Monday night about ton o'clock, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Parsons and Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Lanford were summoned to the home of Dr. l'arsons in Woodruff) whose home was sad and darkened and loved one's greatly be reaved by the death of little nine year old Grover, the only son of Dr. and Mrs. Sam l'arsons. On Monday after noon the little fellow left home in per fect health, but about sunset was brought back cold and stiff in death. He was riding his father's horse when it became frightened and ran almost with lightning rapidity, Grover still holding on for 200 yds', but at lust it was too much for the little fellow and he was thrown against a bridge and was thought to have been instantly killed. His feet became entangled in tho trace chain and he was then dragged for some distance striking the ground sixteen different times. From some cause the ?diain broke loose from the geer and was left on his feet. Some one found him and summoned his mother, who was the next to get to him and released the chain from his ankle borself. Ho was a dear good little fellow and all who knew him loved him. he was such a bright, prom ising child. The Superintendent of tho Sunday School to which Grover belonged spoke very tenderly of him and told what great things he was ex pecting of the little man as a Sunday School worker. Death is always sad, but in this ease it was peculiarly 80. Wo aro sure that all who hear of this will sympathize greatly with the Dr. and his family in this, their sore af fliction. Geraldine.
