Talk ofjj surprises, breath being taken j ^ ' away and all that, but no such i r language conveys any idea of our amazement. We were simc t ply dumbfounded. We had not ^ heard of such a thing in this whole country and had come to ~ .the conclusion that we would see no peaches this year. Then to be confronted with the basket of luscious red, ripe Elbert tas without a word of warning-, _ without a hint of preparation for the shock.

It is seldom our duty to record a more melancholy event than that which occurred last Saturday, when two ladiesaunt and niece-living near town were stricken down by that dread scourge, typhoid fever, almost at the same hour, 11.30 a m. Miss Margaret Hanna, the aunt, was about tf)irt3T-seven years old and had been ill for about three weeks. She is survived by her mother, Mrs, Jane Hanna, one half brother, Mr. J, H. Hanna, Sr., one half sister, Mrs. R. R. McClary, one brother and two sisters, respectively, Mr. P. H. Hanna and Mesdames J, E. and W. D. Brown. Miss Agnes Jam; ftsms a daughter of Mr, J. H. Hanna, Sr., who lives about four miles east of Kingstree. She was only twenty-one years old, m the bloom ot young womanhood and her many friends deplore her j.: 1 -- J ? , u 1 uniiiiic:y utrdiu. It is a remarkable coincidence that the two, aunt and niece, shouid die at the same hour, within a few miles of each other, of the same disease. A large circle of kindred and friends is. afflicted by this double bereavement and we extend our sincere condolences to the sorrowing ones. The double funeral took place . ' at the family burying ground on Sunday, the 21st inst., Rev. S. J. McC'onnell conducting the services. A Card. .Editor County Record:? Posters have been widely circulated in this section anouncing a big show in connection with a picnic to be held at an early date in the Prospect community. In the advertisement thereof the following statement is made: "For the - ? benefit of your church, under the direction of the Trustees," As pastor of the Prospect church, please allow me to say that the above statement is not only unauthorized but utterly repudiated and condemned by that church, and is regarded as a cunningly devised scheme to entrap the unwary and by the apparent sanction of the church, increase the receipts of the parties having charge of the show.
