A i>oiiiciitfiii ciornmn and Reception ltomler The Vast AY eck Memorable In honor of Miss Minnie Moore, of Portsmouth, Miss Mary Waller lor Camp invited her friends on last Thursday evening to a German. Danc ing began at 0 and continued until 1 o'clock with an intermission for the things which cool and refresh at about eleven. The dancers were led with grace and eafce through tin- mazes of the German by Mr. Young Vance. Miss Moore is one ol the most attrac tive visitors I,aureus has ever been so fortunate as to find in her midst , and the entertainment, which her presence called forth was in every way worthy of its inspiration. Mrs. S. M. Wllkes was "at Home," to a large number of her friends on Fri day afternoon and on Friday evening again she und Mr. Wilkes opened the doors of their delightful home to the unmarried young people of the city, who passed the evening in dancing ami all sorts of quaint devices for fun ar ranged far their entertainment by their host and hostess. In a hunt for odds and ends, distributed through the rooms in the most surpris ing localities, Miss Louise N ance was the most successful and the winner therefore of a dainty cup ami saucer. While Mr.Willie Anderson as the bad in luck will sip his coffee in future from a huge tin cup Mrs. Wilkes, to whom has been granted the happy gift of being the very perfection of a hostess, was assist ed in receiving in both the afternoon and evening by the following charming group of holies: Mrs. .1. 1). Walts, Mrs. J. C.Garliuglon and Miss Maine Ferguson. Flection Ordered. Gov. Ellerhe has ordered an election for the 26th of .June upon the question of tho proposed new county, embracing lion nr. Path in Anderson, and a por tion of Sullivan and Waterloo in this county. As wo have aforetime said, while wo would rogrot to have our old county dismembered, it is a business proposition and not one of sonti mont. Lot no Qualified votor cast a bal lot because it is novel, or bocauso it may have a speculative bonolit. Lau rcn8 is not jno ot tho large counties and the (froat bulk of her population are eonvonlcnt to tho county seat. As a county she is making groat strides towards tho frontjindustrlnlly. now has ninety-six miles of railway and is tho 7th county in tho State in the valuo of railway property. Her taxable prop erty Is assessed at four millions. Tho proposed now county in prospective progress is not to be compared with I.aureus. Hor assessed wealth Is scarcely two millions and industrial prospoct3 not promising. The new county must iminodiatoly be saddlod with debt for public buildings and it is falsest economy to build cheap onos.? Again tho now county must assume a "propor proportion" of tho indebted ness of tho old county and a chango promiios no financial advantago. Wo are frank to say that wo know no equal area in tho county or Stato presenting an equal standard of intelligence with that propsed to be taken from Laurcns and honce we aro reluctant to soo hor go.

Wright. it is not meet that the doath of one who has filled so largo a space in the community, in which she lived as has Mrs. Wright, should pass with a sim ple announcement. Mrs. Wright was the daughter of Oliver P. Barrett, a prominont, wealthy, and useful citizen of Jackson and vicinity for many years. She was born at the old Barrett homestead near Jackson, at and near which she resided all her life. Sho was" married to tho late O. P. Wright, who died in 187(5. Roared in ntlluence, educated in the host schools of tho country, gifted by naturo with a bright mind and at tractive social Qualities, she fittingly adorned tho high social position in which she was placed. When tho war camo with its attendant and conse quent misfortunes, she bore adversity and the loss of wealth with cheerful ness and fortitude And whon further trouble camo with tho doath of her husband, she set herself with tho same cheerfulness and renowed energy to provide for tho education of her chil dren, and tho welfare of her numerous de-pendents. While not neglecting ill the slight est her duties to her family, sho was ever ready to bear her part, and moro, in every way calculated and intended to promote the welfare and happiness of nor neighbors and friends. But it was in her domestic circle and in tho hospitalities of her homo that Mrs. Wright appeared to tho best advan tage. She was a spocial friend of the young, and was never so happy as whon ongagod in promoting their pleasure. While a slneoro Christian, she made no ostentatious display of her religion, but rather jravo utterance to tho faith that was in hor by deeds of Christian charity. Her memory will long be chcrishod by thoso who know her best. ?Daily Clarion-Ledger, Jackson, Miss._ Closing Out Salo ol' Summer Ooods at Juniicsoii's. ir> cents organdies now only 10 cents at Jamloson's, 6 cents colored Jawn now only 3| cents (spot cash) at Jamieson's.

Ah bo grew up ho availed himself of such educational advantages us tho schools around him afforded and by proper application of these advantagOS secured a good practical education.? In fact ho taught successfully for many yours, and was extensively known as a competent and accurute surveyor. In ISfi.'i ho was married to Miss Lizzie A. Goggans, daughter of Joseph ami Stacy Goggans, who lived mar Bush River church in Nowborry county. Ills wife was a woman of illtolligOUCC and possessed rare qualities of moral and social excellence. She was kind and courteous in disposition, unusually pleasant in conversation, and withal a devoted and sincere Christian. Her rare gifts won for her universal love wherever she was known, and although she has been dead for many years, she Is still spoken of as having been a wo man of uncommon IdUuquco. This union proved most happy, and strong Christian Inllucnco porvaded their home . Tho writer well remem bers how when a certain Baptist preacher who was at that time their pastor, had lost his wife and given up his home, they extended the hand of sympathy, and did all in their power to choor those sad and lonely days. Brother .lonos was baptized into the membership of Fairview church in Nowborry county, but soon afterward transferred his membership to Hurri cane church In Laurons county. Here for a number of years ho tilled very ef ficiently tho offices, both of deacon and church Clerk. As a Christian he was eminently consistent. He was one among the few whose souse of obligation prompts them to give to the Master's cause that at tention which its importance demands. His faith was steady, his devotion constant and his spiritual tone of feel ing high. His convictions of truth and duty wero clour and in the hour of trial ho maintained in an eminent degree, serenity of mind. Ho has passed away and memory brings up many hallowed associations that fill our hearts with sorrow, but he has left bohlnd tho best of all herit ages, a Christian example. Tho deceased loaves behind him live ehlldron,two sons and three daughters. Tho sons aro church members, both graduates of tho Lutheran Collogo at Nowborry, and since leaving school have boon filling important positions as teachers. Tho daughters also aro members of tho church, gifted, pious and in many respects fitted to adorn the walks of life, and to honor the example left then by their parents.
