Law. on Tuesday, June 30, 1891, Charles B. Ed- ] wards and Mary Rogers, daugh- itorof tho lateli. F. Williamson, jail of Darlington County. OBITUARY. Dove.—At Dovesville, S. C., I May 28th, the spirit of little John C , third son of Mr. J. C. and Mrs. E. (), Dove, took its fiight from time into eternity. He was born March 5th, 1883. During several months prior to his fatal illness, symptoms were developed which his physicians declared indicative of the pres ence of an insidious disease. Timely efforts were made to ar rest tho progress of the disease, and friends of the family in dulged the hope that the reme dies used might effect a cure. Kind physicians did all they could do. Anxious parents, eager for his restoration, pa tiently and tenderly nursed their darling little boy, while they watched, with aching hearts, the progress of a disease which, if not arrested, must prove fa tal. More and more it became apparent that ho was growing feebler, and ere long ho took his bed to die. For some eight days, he lay a great sufferer, hut during all of the while he seemed conscious of his condition, and had a vivid presentiment that he must die. Family and friends ministered to him all possible comforts, but God had seen wise that, the “fiower should fade, and the grace of the fashion of it perish.” When, by his moth er’s pastor, he was questioned, he exhibited a willingness to die, and seemed to cherish the hope that his young heart had been led to Jesus who says, “suffer the little children to come”; and upon Him he after wards called repeatedly. He bore his suffering with patience and fortitude, and, for a child, exhibited a remarkable degree of resignation. Many fervent prayers went up for his restora tion, hut that could not he. “God’s finger touched him, and he lie slept.” His funeral services werecon- ducted by Rev. J. G. Law, as sisted by Rev. J. C. Dowell. A fond father, a tender mother, an attentive brother, and five lov ing sisters mourn his early de parture from earth.
