Bolt, a student of tho South Carolina College, a mem ber of the freshman class and right guard In tho gamo of football between a roll n a and Clomson, went down never to rlso again. Ho died in tho College Infirmary In the presence of his aged mother and matron. He had a severe caso of typhoid fovcr, which his father thinks was contracted at his homo In Laurens county. Ho was attended by Drs. Taylor and Talley. Mr. Bolt was about 25 years of age and was very popular with all who know him. Ho was a devoted Christian and adhorod to the Methodist persuasion, being a mombor of that church for several years. ' Ho showed great Christian resignation all through his illness and when his ond camo no seemed to fall into poaccful slumber. He will bo missed by his class mates and by all who know and loved him. Mr. Bolt's /ather and mother camo here about a wook ago, but his father went back home and his mother was the only one of his rclativos who was with him. Ho was well cared for by tho matron and students, some of whom set up with him every night. It was sad to sco tho grlef-sti iekon mother as tho body was taken from the infirmary to tho station to bo car ried over tho Columbia, Nowberry and Laurons roatTto the old homo of tho doceased, where it will bo in terred to-day.

Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medi cal fraternity. Catarrh being a con stitutional disease, requires a con stitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh cure is taken internally, acting directly upon tho blood and mucous surfaces of the tem, thereby destroying the ft ? .ation of the disease, and giving the pa tient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers, that they offer one hundred dollars for any case that It falls to cure. Send for Hstof testimonials. F. J.

C.?Spar tanburg Horald, An entertainment in the interest of the Laurens Band is soon to be given here by local talent. "Captain Diok," a very pretty play, is to be rendered by some of the young ladies and gentle mon of the city under the management of Messrs. Bertram & Willard,who are in the city for the purpose of seeing thcaffnir through. Laurens ought to have plenty of drainatlo talent?doubt less the play will be a success. The Laurens Dental firm are now In their new and elegantly fitted up rooms over Simmons' store. The suite con sist* of a reception room, a "den of terrors," which is so charming in ap pearance as to disarm all apprehension the moment you enter it, a eloak room and lastly a large work room. Pleas ant surroundings go far towards mak ing even the removal of a crazy tooth bearable, and then the opening of these parlors betokens enterprise, which is on the whole the best feature about them, ? October Among: the Hills and Dales of Erfuirens. It ia well to stop and stand still occasionally, and take a retros pective glance amid the mad rush of the days that are passing away. It is restful. And now that we are in the midst of ice and snow that oover the earth as a shroud, we look back with much pleasure to a month among the hills and vales and undor the hospitable roof-trees of the dwollers of old his toric Laurens. The month was very happily spent, October, per haps the most beautiful month of the year, was certainly at her best. There were comparatively few cloudy days, and only occasional showers, which preserved the bril liance of the leaves and the fra grance of the flowers. "The bluest of blue skies and a dolicious at mosphere by day, were followed at the evening tide by draperies and pavilions, of orimson and vormil lion, for the departing sun who, haviug finished his wonderful work in the harvest fields had with drawn from them his onripeuiug and enriching rays. "The nights were radiant with effulgent light of tho lofty dome, whose tapers, enlit by tho fingers of Deity, shone upon the royal pathway of the planets?Venus with Saturn and Mars with Jupi ter, to keep the vigils and tell of the voices of the night." Never before, in the writors re colleotion, did ho have the pleas ure, during the entiro month of October, of being in "meditation fancy free" to watch the rise and sot of sun in the woodlands, and, as Ian Maclnren, of "tho Bonnie Briar Bush" might say, make up by meditation, in tho sweot seclu sion and quiet of solitude, what we lose by leaving tho busy whirl and oxcitomont. of tho city's marts. Asa people I think wo lack sen timent. True sentiment makes us strong when tho days of adver sity come to us. Dear, lamented Timrod, how happily ho expresses a thought in the closing linos of one of his charming sonnets: "Oh, me, why may not lovo and life ho one? Why walk wo thus alono, when, by our side, Love, Uko a visible god, might bo our guide? How would tho marts grow noble and tho streets, Worn like a dungeon lloor by weary foot, Become the golden court-way of tho sun!" A morning's walk through the woodland halls, upon their carpets of rosetint and saffron, yellow, purple and russet, fringed with the beautiful boo aster and the stately goldon rod, was certainly inspiriting, and no less lovely and enjoyable were the evenings, as wo went through the saths of the forests aglow with richest tints and shades of coloring, inhaling tho fragrant, free sweet air, and watching the high lights and glinting from tho eminences and the shadows creeping upon the lower situations. Speaking of the beautiful in sunset scenes. Ruskin has truly and happily said that the Creator could havo given us simply "tho blue sky for the fair weatjior and tho dull leaden sky for foul weather," but, instead, for our enjoyment, wo rarely have two evening skies alike. It is either a river of gold in tho West, an ocean of amber in the North, a sea of emerald green in the West, or flecked in white with pale pink and violet in tho East. Often from zenith to sensitive horizon the Heavens are suffused with lu minous lights of varying shades, or ablaze with vast conflagrationsr Then again wo havo islands with pearl-tintod strands, tessalated pavements, crimson-curtained cor ridors, mountains and mirages of marvellous magnificence. Truly Ho "who metoth out the heavens with a span," "flndeth tho sweet inlluonco of tho ploiados and loosoth the bands of orion," hath caused "tho heavens to de clare tho glory," that man might enioy tho grace and grandeur of Jehovah's works. But, alas, tho enchanting scene of tho woodlands was but evanish ing, and dissolving the beautiful loaves havo fallen, and "marched a million strong." Thoy admon ish us that man is mortal and doth fall as falls tho loaf. In view of this fact wo should learn that "tho dutios of lifo are greater than lifo itself," and "that their most rofined realization is to be found in tho service of hu manity." R. H. Greneker.
