ELBERT H. AULL, - Proprietors. WM. P. HOUSEAL, NEWBERRY, S. C, THURSDAY, JUNE 16, 18S7. LINES WRITTEN BY JOHN 1 JONES ON THE DEATH OF MISS SAEiAH RAMAGF. The following beautiful, touchin tribute to the memory of the lat Miss Sarah W. Ramage, younge5 daughter of Burr J. Ramage, wh died on 12th day of July 18S, wa found among the papers of Joh Belton O'Neall Jones, sometime afte his premature melancholly deatl Little did he expect when he dippe his pen into his overflowing hea and penned tkese lines that he woul so soon be called to realize the beat tiful thought contained in the follov ing two lines of this tribute: "But the thought came like a sunbeat into the sorrowing heart, . Some day we will meet her nevermor to part." Yes! the thought that their face Will "never again" be seen on eart: carries sorrow to the hearts of thei parents, relatives, and friends, bu the reflection that their cisembodiet spirits have indeed met in a bette world and are now freed from pains sorrows, and trials of this world, an< are enjoying the blissful rest prom ised to the pure in spirit, an< that some day they will mee never to part comes like a sunbean into the sorrowing hearts of thei parents, relatives and friends. Th satisfaction derived from the know ledge of the reunion of their spirit in the blissful abode, is intensified b; - * the fact that they had been goo< friends from their childhood up t< the time of her death, when he actet as one of the pall bearers selecte< ~< by herself. Their parents had als< *'- been+intimate friends and associate for many, many long years. The: were both of genial bright nature and this tribute was but the natural genuine outpouring of Johnnie' feelings.and thoughts caused by th removal of his lovely young frient ust as she was budding into woman This tribute is alike creditable t< -his heart and to her meritorious 16vely character.* Lines to Sarah. Composed the evenings before and after he death, TuIy 11th and 13th i5SS". They tell me she is dying, In her youth and beauty lying Waiting for the angel's call. Soon the dark and sombre pall Will cover that face and form so dear, And they will carry her away To the grave so cold and drear. Soon the bells will slowly toli A requiem to the departed soul. Each solemn funeral knell Like shuddering heart-beats will tell Of tears and sobs and heart-sick pain. Of those who will never see her again. "There is a reaper whose name is deatlh And with his sickle keen He reaps the bearded gramn And the flowers that grow between." How beautiful she was in her budding wommianhood ! Like an opening flower she stood, Growingto beautify this world of sighs - And point usto Him beyond the skies. Dim is the eve once so bright, Hushed is the laugh so merry and light Those tresses of spun gold Now cluster o'er a brow that is pallid ani cold. Those- dear lips of perfect curve ani coral hue Are now mute and cold with death's dami dcw, That bosom covering a heart so loving ani kind Will heave no more with the thoughts oi the now quiet mind, That form east in beauty's fairest mould Can no longer the winged spirit hold. But why should we grieve and mourn For the dear one who has gone a littlt before, To that bright and happy bourne Where sorrow and pain are felt no more! Too young to have known life's trouble Too happy for its sorrow and pain, With loving arms the good Father has taken her in To a home which we all would willingly gain. (July 13th.) We have laid her away by her mother Just beside the green mounds Of her sisters and brother. L~oving hands have decked her grave witla flowers; Tis true they will wither and di" in a few short hours, But her memory will live in the hearis that love her Long after the sod is green above her. Slowly and sadly we turned from her l:st resting place Knowing that on earth we would never again see her face; But the thought came like a sunbeam .into the sorrowing heart. Some day we will meet her never more tc part; When Angel hands wvill give her a crown of light And the dark things on earth be transfig. ured With love's perfect light. ,,,,~,*1/ - ~'... ~ We have y"iCl1el our space this week to our schools and'eolleges and make no apologies for so doing.

COLUMIA, June 13.--- The threats of injunction proceeding against the cunty commissioners to restrain them from issuing. the 40000 in bonds recently voted by this town ship in aid of the Columbia, New berry- and Laurens Railroad have not yet materialized. It seems doubtful now whether any one will enter upon a task at once so ungracious. unpopu lar and expensive. The county com missioners are seeking information as to the cost of printing the bonds and it is expected that there will be no o delay in preparing them and placing s them on the market. n THE RAILROAD ELECTION. r It seems that the case of the friends L of Columbia, Newberry and Laurens I Railroad is firmly based upon the t highest law in the land. A question almost identical with that of the railroad subscription in this township was decideded'by the Supreme Court of the United States in 1SS4. In this case, the Board of Supervisors 1 vs. Carrol County, to be found in 1l United States Reports, the Supreme Court decided that the term "a ma jority of qualified voters'" meant a * majority of the qualified electors who actually voted, and furthermore de cided that the electors remaining at r home and not voting must be consid t ered as giving their tacit consent- to 1 the railroad subscription. Other r high authorities have taken the same line. The railroad commissioners leave here to-morrow for Augusta, whence - they will start on an inspection of 1 the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta and the Narrow Gauge railroads. 21 The Indian Outbreak. CHICAGO, June 1:3.-A special from Tucson, Arizona, says : The hostiles are supposed to be in the east end of the Santa Catalina Mountains, as I their signal smoke has been distinctly seen. Troops of cavalry a-e operat ing in that locality. Over one hun dred fighting bucks are out, all well armed. The chief of the Avarahia >Apaches says there will be a big Indian war and that more than two hundred warriors wil soon be in the field, all with good guns and plenty of ammunition. Nearly all of his young bucks joined the hostiles. All 3 the mountains have been fired. The SIndians say this was done to stop the troops from using the Heliograph signal flash. The crest of the Santa Catalinas last night was ablaze for fifteen miles. A BAND OF INDIANS SURPRISED. S.tN FRANCIsco, June 1.-A special from Benson, Ariz., says : Lieut. -Johnson's command surprised a mur derous band. of Apaches in the Rin con mountains at noon on Saturday, capturing their baggage and horses. The Indians scattered among the rocks and evidently will try to make their way back to San Carlos. It is believed that the hostiles are practi cally helpless in their present condi-, tion. The troops are still in sharp pursuit. Senator from Ne H~ampshire. Coxcono, June l4.--The Senate voted for 'United States Senator at 11 o'clcck this morning. Every member was present.

PITTsURao, P.A.. June 14.---This afternoon writs were served by Sher iff Grav on twenty-five of the strikers at the Pennsylvania Salt Works at Natrona, Pa., ordering them to vacate the company's houses on or before the first 3Monday of July. If the houses are not vacant at that time the occupants will be forcibly evicted. The strikers denounce the action of the company in comp)elling them to leave their houses, but, with one or two exceptions, have promised to move out peaecably. There are no indications of a settlement of the trouble. Newherry's Treasurer. Col. Cori. Nacs aw'! Courir, June~ 10. Mr. A.

A eative (eenion :Iu(d!H= wic:ih The nineteenth annual oinn(ncc ment in Newberry ('o'.ieg" begann last Sunday. The weather was ail that could be desired for such an or-a sion, cool, bracing and invigorating A great many visitors have been pres ent, and all the places for distinguished speakers have been ti!led by those whic were expected to Le here. The exer cises throughout have been pleasant and entertaining. On tundhy morn ing there were ne serviecs in any of the churches, and all the minister took part in the services incident tr commencement, thereby showing fheih interest in the college. The music fot the Sunday services was furnished ,y a chorus of twelve voices, Missi ,amic Holbrook performing on the organ and Mrs. Peter Robertson leading tht singing. The music was very tine. The music for the other exercises wa. furnished by IFislpurn's string hand of Augusta. The preparatory services on uwha morning were conducted by Rev. S. T. Hallman and Rev. '. S. Bowman, D. D. The Baccalaurnte Sermon wca delivered by Rev. Edward T. Horn, of ('hagleston, S. C. TIE.BA(ALAt'ImAT: SI:AIoN. After a few introductory renmark: Rev. Horn announced the central thought of his discourse: Our Lord Jesus Christ declared not only God tc us in every word and work o'. his, but also showed us the Ideal aman. Afte, removing the objection that our Lord cannot be an example to us literally, the preacher proceeded to set ChrisT as an example for young men on en tering life. Two things are to bc borne in mind, 1. That Jesus came tc show what men ought to ie. 2. That even as he is the Son of (d, so are wc children of God. The text of the sermon was announced to be the account of the baptism o; Jesus as given in the 3 chap. of Mat thew. Hecre isan Ermmpjejir o>ntm" eration as < Mode'l for Chri;s::ia M(n hood. This theme was expounded in three parts. I. An exhortation to it: spirit. H. A description of its method. IIL An exhibition of its sanction, 1. The spirit of Christ's conversion includes a recognition of his High ame; an acceptance of Gcd-given duty; a determination in it to fulfill all righteousncss. This applied lead to the exhortation to recogize things noble; to join one's self to things high and deep; to regard life as a steward ship; to be faithful in every detail. Any other course of life is untruthfu: and futile. I. The Method of Christ'. Consecration was a self-limitation; subjection to external rule. H e didi the duty that was set before him. is :fice wvas in the fulfi'lment of every ay duties. He subumitted to religiou.5 rule. We do not need to seek alae shere; fill the sphere you have. Web' ster's "There is room at the top'' has been quoted too much. We need more careful work at the bottom. The Reformation taught that to be religious one need not be a monk or ax un, but ought to discharge his duty s parent, citizen, omeier. Nothing is more to be condemned than eccentricity in Religion, a pre tended independence and su periori ty. Christ wvas different. He fulfilled all righteousness and was baptized. Do not leave your state; do not despise your neighborhood. But recogn ize your 'higher nature and God-given uty therein, and patiently fulfill all ighteousness. You may be crucified or it; but on them a great light will hine. III. The Sanction of Christ's Conse ration is seen in that the Father ae kjowledged him; furnished him for is mission; assured him the recogni ion of the like-minded. If you go forth in spirit the Lord ill own you, and what higher honor han this! He sends his spirit on you, o that with each duty you receive he needed strength. Little by little ou will become the centres 'of mecn's piritual life. Mr. Horn spoke without manuscript r notes and with much case and race. His sermon was wvell received. EMON 1Y RtEV. J. rAWmzINs, D). D). On Sunday afternoon at half-past our the address before the graduating class of the Theological Seminary was elivered in Luther Chapel by the her. J. Hawkins, D). D. The service was opened by the Rev. Ed(ward TF. orn, assisted by the Rev. J. L. tokes. Dr. Hawkins took as his text Cor. 4:7. The subject wvas introduced y referring to the honor connected with the various callings of mn, par iularly of the Gospel ministry. This has in some measure lost its former restige and glory and conse<quently its influence and dlignity. God in ended that like Saul amongst the prophets it should stand ''head and houlders above the rest." No man is fit for the Gospel ministry who does ot appreciate it above all things else. he excellency of the power of all other p)rofessionis is of us. This treams rc of the Gospel reveals the wisdom, ve and salvation of God. After this introduction the preacher dividedl his subject, stating that the text presenitedl three facts: thme Gos eI is treasure; ministers ar'e earthen vessels; the union of both these br'ing~s glory to God. L1 TFhe Gospel is treasure-wcalh cumulated. a constant supply for all future neceds. This treasure is abso0 utly necessary for the moral eleva tion of our race. In this nognificent gift of ouir riseni and exalted L.ordl we have all that is necessary for the per ecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry anmd for the salvat ion of a lost world. it contains ;more that~ i pure and elevating in dlesire, moore that is sincere and fervent in devo tion, more love, trust and hope thaniI all the treasures of the earth can in spire. H. And it is in our possession and "we have this treasure." Most won derful is the fact that we have it in earthen vessels. It is like the incearna tion of the Son of God. Its efi'eets are ~s miraculous as the pitchers of Gid eon. Th.e excellency of God's power s peraps as clearly se en i the adop -.4 e 'T JLJi1 L%r A.
