Arthur Johnson, the oldest son of
Mr. and Mrs. Sam Johnson, just
nineteen years and two months old.
He was sick three weeks and not

Arthur thou hast gone bofore us,
And thy saintly soul has flown,
Where tears aro wiped from every eyo
And sorrow is unknown.
And whon the Lord shall summon us,
Whom thou hast left behind
May wo untainted by tho world
As sure a welcome find.
May each like thee, depart in peaco,
To bo a glorious guest
Where tho wicked cease from troub

And the weary aro at rest.

In the absence of an appropria
tion by the Legislature since 1890,
except tho $2,400 for 1890, the
management has been forced to
lessen the amount' of premiums
prior to 1892, amounting before
that time to $6,000 which went di
rectly Into the pockets of farinors.
By a united effort upon the part
of the press and to friends of pro
gress generally It is confidently be
lieved the Fair of 1800 will be
equal, if not surpassing all others
In the past.
Belying on tho patriotism and
public spirit of which South Caro

sured.
Tho rates of passage for tho Fair
as announced by the several roads
will receive the immediate atten

"Why, if I had let him Jick me

to fight his big brother, about my
size, and I can lick him, and J'm
