Besides culinary -articles usually kept in a kitchen that is used as a dIning room, Mr. Boozei ad his entire wheat crop destroyed, ,and a portion of the wheat had been ground.

[('nrresonde'u e" G:reen ville" New"s,.1 CENTRAL, S. C.. Aug. is-l'rof. A.6. Scheetz died last night after illne~s or ten days. 'rhe prfesi-or has leei prin cipal of our High School for the last year and has tilled that position so ably that he had been re-elected to that position agaii. He was a gentle, kindly man, and an earnest Christian worker, being superintendent of both the Pre.byterian and Baptist Sunday schools. He had many warm friends who will miss him much and lament his sad death. Mrs. Scheetz leaves to-night with his remains for their former home in Pennsylvania. One year ago to-day the -mortal re mains of Mr. Thnias P. Slider were buried in Westview Cemetery, Atlanta, Georgia. Mr. Slider was born and reared in Lexington County, and when a young man engaged in teaching. He then read law and removed to Newberry, where he was admitted to the bar and associated for some time with Mr. Hen ry Summer in the practice of the law. In the year 1855, in connection with Mr. James. N. Crosson, he published the Newberry Rising Sun, a weekly newspaper. Soon after Mr. Crosson removed to the West and Mr. T. F. Greneker became associated with him in the paper business until the war. Mr. Slider enlisted asa private and was in service on the coast. After the war be published the Pro gressive Age, a paper devoted to the rogreive development of the country, but failing in health he abandoned journalism and removed to Atlanta, where he remained to the day of his death engaged in literary work. He was twice married; first to Miss Ellen Ring, of Charleston. His second wife was Miss Willie Gilder, of .Edge field, who survives him. By his first marriage he had three children, a daughter and two sons, all of whom survive 1im. Mr. Slider was a man of untiring energy, wonderful fluency and strong imagination, and during his journal istic career wrote a number of local ro mances which were read with much pleasure particularly by the younger members of the community. The deceased had many good traits. I. his business transaptions he was never hard or exacting but rather kind and generous. Like most mortals he had his weaknesses as well as his stronger side, and. had it not been for a restless spirit that would occasionally possess him, giving him at times the appearance. of carelessne he would have been a phenomenal character, so remarkable . were his volubility of th&ught and utterance, his power of description and his energy of action. "After life's fitful fever he sleeps well." Newberry, August 2, 1889.
