A gloom was cast over our commu nity yesterday morning by the an nouncement that Mrs. John L. Young was dead. She had been sick for some time and has suffered a great deal, and her death was not unexpected. She has been quite prominent both in social circles and in the good works of the town. Her influence for good and her works will live after her. The funeral services were held in the Presbyterian church, and her remains were laid to rest in the town cemetery whioh owes its beauty in a large measure to her work and influence.? 8he was public spirited and took a prominent part In every enterprise for the good of the town or the people.? 8he was noted for her kindness to those in need, and her open hand of charity was ever extended to the poor and suf fering.

Sam P. Jones lectured here last night to a delighted audience. To-day he preached in the Opera House. The house was packed to its utmost capacity. Hia subject was "The philosophy of prayer." While he hit hard many times, his sermon had won derful effect. I have never been present but one time beforo when the preacher was applauded. This happened to-day when, after doing up" gen erally the dispensary, he said: "I have a little respect for a bull necked white-apron scoundrel who stands behind his counter and deals out his damnable stuff in order to make money to feed his family; but when a sovereign State goes Into tho business of debauching and shoving liquor down the throats of her citizens for the money there is in it?my God!

The Indications are that u major ity of tho farmers have forgotten i the close experience of 1894-95 and are going Into cotton more exten sively'than for the past three or four years. In the language of Fagan Martin you had better "watch!" Considerable farm work ha*) been done and the general improvement of lands Is very noticeable. Oat sowing continues with every opportunity, but there is a decid edly fall off in the acreage of small grain. A six year old child of Mr. and Mrs. Galdwell was buried at the Cemetery on last Sunday. Rov. Joe A. Martin conducted the fune ral services. Measles was the cause. The entire family have been laid up with the measles. They have the sympathy of the commu nity in their a Mellon und bereave ment. Measles and unfavorable weather havo greatly interfered with school work. Very little interest is manifested as yet in regard to politics But it is ralhor early for much specula tion in futures. However u com mon expression with men of all faction is that-they are tired of politics and the abominable liquor law. Miss LI Hie Carter is on a months visit to her sister, Mrs. Campball in Newberry. Geno Carter, of Pelzer, is visiting homefolks for a few days. He is a jolly good fellow. Cor. OBITUARY.

A few week \ ago the angel of death suddenly palled into the, presence of the great Judge oue who was always true to his word and who manifested a remark able unselfishness in his friendship, Mr. SAMUEL FRANKS, who departed ihW lite in the 82d year of his age. On the day of death he had gone to Ore on bus iueas matters, was taken sick on the way to his pleasant home, and at ten o'clock ho waa summoned to tho joys of Eternal Homo on high. Bro. Franks joinod tho Presbyterian Church at Rocky Springs on tho tenth day of August, in the year 1871, during a protracted service held in that church under the ministry of Uro. McKittrhk. Bro. Franks's religion waa of a true and aolid character, and continued ahining with a bright light up to tho day of his joyful translation. May this allliction cause all those that knew and loved him to open their hearts more earnestly to the service of Him who loved them and gave Himself for them. Sometimes when all of life's lessons have beeil learned, And sun and stars forever inoro havo set, Tho things which our weak judgment hero have spumed,?

Ovvioa DAYS?Monday and Tussday?, TEACHERS' COLUMN. j. .a. madden, editor; The teacher* of the county are contributing cheerfully and ably to the support of the teachers' column. An editor with such an able corps of contributors should feel proud ot the support he is receiving, and the readers of the county papers are to be congratulated that such an in terest is manifested by the tcachera of the county in disseminating the better arts of instructing the young through the columns of our own county papers, and the teachers and the people should endeavor to secure a general circulation of the papers, and to create a lively inter est in the educational affairs of the county. No teacher is fully equip ped for his or her work who does not read the county papers, and no family can afford not to take a county paper. The Teachers' Association Met on 15th instani with a full attendance, and the liveliest inter est ever manifested in the topics of discussion.

Is teaching a profession? Prof. W. T. McElroy. Dr. John R. Smith will address the Association on a subject of his own selection. Dr. J. J. Boozer will give a lec ture on the informat ion of teaching physiology and hygiene in the com mon schools. The Newspaper in Schools. All schools should have, besides the regular course, a few additional lines of work bearing on the gen eral intelligence and daily life of the pupils. Of these, the newspaper develops the greatest amount of enthusiasm and usefulness. Children from teti years upward readily learn and en joy the judicious use of newspapers, and what they begin at the sugges tion of the teacher, they should keep up till they have acquired a taste which will influence their newspaper reading In all their after lives. A good many busy people have very little reading besides the news paper, so it is important that they should learn, early in life, to make the most of what is found there.? Much that is edifying and cultiva ting maj' be culled from these sheets, if one has been trained to look for and appreciate it. Then too, it seems absurd to study past history so carefully, when the living history of one's own and other countries is passed by unno ticed. The live issues of to day be come the history of to-morrow, and how much more Ffnpressivc are the lesson, if given at the time in which they actually occur. We must teach them, theiefore, to follow the great political events in our own and other countries.? Rebellions, persecutions and wars are going on in various parts of the world, and they t-hould know the principal features of each. "But", some one asks, "how are we 10 do all this in school"? This is the way it is being done in an ungraded countiy school. Once a week the pupils are re quested to bling some item of in terest Irom the newspaper. They are told to leave out accidents, murders, and crimes in general, but to bring anything else that inter ested them, especially if it had any connection with geography or his tory. A short time is devoted to newspaper talk when the children give any information they have found and a few of the best of the cuttings brought in are read. When a sufficient number of cut ting arc received, the children have the privilege of making a scrap? book of them. C?ontry Tracker.
