Shclman have tho 8lncoro sympathy of this commun ity In the death of their Infant daugh ter, Marguerite, who died yesterday aftornoon aftor a protraeted sickness, aged six months. Mr. Shelman is pro prietor of the lOxehango Hotel. Tho chlld,s doath is thought to havo boon tho rosult of a cold tukon at tho time of tho burning of tho Bondella hotel, at Laurous, of which Mr. Shelman was proprietor some months ago.?Green ville News. What nml Whero to Buy. That Is tho question which agitated tho ladles who went to the openings In Laurens?a world of beauty in tho shapo of irresistiblo hats and handsome dress goods, liablo to raiso delightful visions and hopes in tho minds of tho homeliest of mortals and playing fear ful havoc with resolutions in economy. All tho beauties of color, toxture, stylo, otc., which woro not to be found at Jamleson's immediately mot tho oyo upon entoring tho Simmons emporium and vice-versa. Every stylo of pro vision for eortaln cold days expected before long Is to be found, also every lady can find something to her taste and it is tho part of wisdom to go and soo what suits you beforo every one else does likcwlso and the goods aro picked over. l'aris Fashions for Amcriea. Whon I was in Paris In July the Fronch modistes were preparing mod ols for tho United States, and one of tho best known said that only Ameri cans would tako draped skirts, writes Emma M. Hooper in tho October La dles' Homo Journal. Surely this is hint onough to warn us not to accept what Paris avoids. During my late visit to this contro I found tho univer sal and hnndsomost skirts were of the f:odo8t shape, having smooth sides and rout, and tho fullness at the back eon lined to a width of three inches, and lined with grnss-eloth or crinoline all tho way up to give a graceful, sweep ing appearanco, while the remainder was faced with the samo to fully half of tho depth. Tho skirts were cut to touch at the back, but. this does not seem so much out of place in l'aris, whero tho streets are tho cleanliest of all known, and there are but few hand somely-dressed women that do not drive. Tho neatest skirts are made with ovcry soam bound with silk tape, and tho cordod in place of a belt, All rieh materials, like silk, moire, Indies' cloth, etc., havo tho skirts untrlmmcd: thinner goods may havo a tiny cluster of threo two-inch bias overlapping rufllos, a style that never goes out in Paris. Sorge, cheviot and such goods have from three to live rows of stitch ing above tho velveteen binding as a trimming. The bias seam up tho back is worn. Notwithstanding tho Inclomont weather during our opening days quite a number of ladies visited our store and expressed themselves as boing very much ploascd with the display of dress goods and silks and said they had novcr seen as pretty a display of millinery in Laurens or uppor South Carolina. Wo would just say to tho ladles of Laurens and city that our opening days will bo from 0 o'clock A. M. until 7 o'clock P.

D!ed at the early age of twenty-three, at her home in Greenville county, June 22d, 1884, Mrs. <'? ? rni \ Meuis, wife of Mr. Lee Mears, and daughter of Mr. Lawson F. arM Sallle Mahatfey. Truly the ways of P/ovidenco aro mys terious. Death under all circumstances is a serious thing, bnt when wo see blooming youth suddenly snatched away from a life of usefulness and a home of love, our hearts feel most keenly the sorrows of bereavement. Could tho united prayers of an ago nized husband, weepiog relations and friends, with the aid of most skilled phy sicians availed, tho loving wife would not have died; but tho awful fiat had gone forth: the angel of death had marked her for its victim, and its un erring dart could not be evaded. Truly death loves a shining mark: Claudia early gave her heart to Jesus, and had been for (several years an exem plary member of the M. E. Church. Her daily deportment and conversa tion wcro that of a pious and devoted Christian, possessing to an eminent de gree many of tho noble traitB that adorn tho namo of woman and lend a charm to social life. She filled many stations in life that was a woman's sphore to fill?the daugh ter, sister, wife, mother and friond. Though her virtues will not livo by tho stroke of the pen or a dash of rhet oric, but in memory of thoso who havo listened to words of love and kindness from her Una, and received deeds of be nevolence from l.er hands. Hut a few years ago tho fond husband led tho gentle bride to his home to light Iiis dwelling with her love, but in tho fair morning of hor existence she has passed away. A cloud has gathered around his home, obscured its light and marred its beauty. Daring her illness Bhe manifested Chris tian patience, and though warned only a short time of her co ning change, sho did not murmur at lb decree of God, nor tremble at tho app. :h of death. Tho dreaded ch ugo came; the lies that bound her to this world were sev ored and weeping hearts gave up their treasure to the skies. Mo thinks bright angols hovered around to bear her willing spirit home to that happy climo, where now she j'.ins in a sweeter song than angels sing, for it is tho song of tho Redeemed. She leaves a devoted husband, two dear littlo boys, a tender mother, two loving eistere, an affectionate brother, with numerous friends and relatives to mourn her loss. Though tho cross bo heavy to bear, and wo drain tho deepest draught that the chalice of sorrow holds, it is not without hope of meeting dear Claud again ; then ? "Weep not for her?in her springtime she How To that land where the wings of the soul are unfurled: And now, like a star beyond evening's oohl dew, She looks radiantly down on the tears of this world." Anna M. Died on Saturday night, Soptember 22J, 1804, at the residence of her father, John 11. Sullivan, Mrs. Kate Willis, the wife of R. W. Willis of our city. She was a great sufi'orer, having been sick three months, which allliclion she bores with Christinn fortitude. Sho was a member of the Methodist Church, and lived a consistent life ; and adorned her profession by an orderly walk ; and died in tho faith. Sho was tho oldest child, and was blessed with a sweet and fnild disposi tion ; and had a tact for tho manage ment of business affairs, whereby she exerted a wonderful influence over the lives of hor sister and brothers. Sho was laid at rest on Sunday eve ning at Friendship Church. S. C. Todd preached the funeral sermon to a larec and attentivo congregation. May tho consolation that can only como through faith in our Heavenly Father rest upon tho grief stricken hus band, tho aged father and mother and family of our departed sister. S. WlCLlAM Roiikictson departed this lifo September 1st, 1891; he was born March 7th, 1803. Ho had been a member of liothany Church nearly sixty years, be ing among tho first to join when that church was first founded by Rev. L, B. Lowers. Ho was one of the oldest sot tiers in his neighborhood (near Tylers ville), and never changed his home, re siding at tho same place till his death.? He outlived all of his family except one. He was a devout and humble Christian, as was proved by his daily walk and conversation. And in his last hours he trusted in his Saviour, and said ho did not fear death. "His mind was tranquil and serene; No tears in his looks were seen ; His Savior's smilodispelled the gloom, And smoothed his passage to the tomb-."' E. ?. C. How's Tins!
