Enclosed. Mr Editor, you will tind ;'
devvral peach blossoms. Peach blooms
uear Nuveuiber is something 1 have i1
nefer seen be-foic. This shows that j'
our seasons are now changing. Last j
sDnnir in May 1 saw the cockle-bun |
with grown burrs on the bush.
The writer has JO beautiful Berkshire
pigs in one farrow. The progenitors
of these pigs were bought !
at the State Fair last October. The
pigs are now about one week old.
The hogs will be taken back to the
fair to show that the lower part of
old Williamsburg is fully adapted to
racing fine stock. Also a fine fullblooded
Jersey cow may be on exhib- '
ition from tue same farm. We can .
raise as fine stock, even in the lower
part of this county, as cau be raised 1
anywhere in the State. The writer
finds the only successful way of
* * ? f I.L
tanning is by providing me zaiui wnu
a plexitv of live-stock aud that of
1 * <
the thorough-bred strain. Both hogs
aud cattle will succeed nicely and if
properly housed and fed will furnish
enough barnyard manure to improve (
the farm to f&ise all the feed aud ,
grain needed to maintain these stock.
The stock aud the farm are twin necessities,
oue depends on the other, i
The day will soon come when every 1
farmer will fully realize the fact and :
stock-raisiug will be increased one '
hundredfold. You will se-> the farms ,
all stocked with improved breeds and ,
plenty of bacon raised for home use .
and milk aud butter in abundance. ;
The Audrews Gas-Light Co has (
scld its entire stock issue and will 1
within the next few weeks iustall in :
the town of Andrews an up-to-date 1
gas-light plant; also the Secretary of j
Stutt- will within a few days issue a
charter for a bank, with a capital ]
stock of $25,000. )

did not drive home the lesson j
taught by the loss of a year's '<

been a thin place worn in the (
stocking by long use as a de- j

the poor man got where he was

out. Two miles of road were
covered with quarters, dimes'
and dollars, but he never gotback
a tenth of his loss. Ai{

>f whose death was made in last
week's issue, were brought to
:his county and interred at
Union church, near her old
home, on Thursday at noon,
October 14. in the presence of a
large concourse of the friends
and former neighbors of the

friends of the family from
Sumter who came over to pay
the last tribute that mortal man
can pay to those he loves. The
Dbsequies were conducted by
Rev F M Satterwhite, pastor of
the Raptist church at Sumter.
Mrs Gordon was universally
esteemed in the community
where she lived for so many
years and her death is sincerely
mourned by all who knew
her. As hostess of the Gordon
House at Lanes for several years
after the death of her husband,
she became acquainted with
many people all over the country
and her death brings sorrow to
the hearts of all who remember
her uniform kindness and
generous hospitality.

sickness of Mrs Merriman.
Mrs Gordon returned last night
in her usual health and spirits,
but awoke during the night
complaining of a difficulty in
breathing. The doctor was sent
for, but before he could arrive
the end came. She remained
perfectly conscious to the last.
Mrs Gordon was a lady of great
force of character and gracious
manners, and her friends are
numerous. The entire community
here, where she is well known,
was shocked and grieved immeasurably
when the sad news

Gordon was a Miss Nettles, of
Privateer, and was 65 years of

She was most happily married to
the chivalric and brave Capt

Died in Wilmington.
FriJay afternoon Mr W H Carr
. was called to Wilmington. N C.,
#bv a telegram announcing the
death of his uncle. Mr Samuel
Northrop, an aged and-highly respected
citizen of that city, of
whom the Wilmington Dispatch
of October 15 had to say the
! following:
The community was grieved
and saddened last night when
it was learned that Mr Samuel
Northron. one of Wilmington's
most venerable and highly re|
spected citizens, had passed awav
j at his home, No 506 Dock street.
! Mr Northrop suffered a stroke
1 of paralysis several days ago and
I from the first his condition was
1 deemed extremely , critical.
! Yesterday morning he suffered
; a second stroke and it was then
j realized that his death was only
i a matter of a short while.
Mr Northrop was a remarkably
active man for one of his
years and he was able to engage
in business pursuits until
;a very short while before his
: demise.
The deceased was a son of the
| late Mr Isaac and Mrs Susan
I Northrop. He was born in Wiljmington
76 years ago next
: February. In 1861, he and Miss
' Mary Houston, of this city, were
married and Mr Northrop was
! preceded to the grave only
twenty months z.go by his beloved
wife. Surviving the deceased
there are three brothers,
Capt W HNorttoop, of Wilmington,
Mr Johir Northrop, of
Charleston, S C., and Mr James
S Northrop, of Birmingham,
Ala., one sister, Mrs Kate T
Cumming, ofi Wilmington, three
daughters, Misses Mary and
Lizzie Northrop and Mrs Howard
McClintock, and Messrs Robert H
Northrop and Harris Northrop,
sons, of this city.
Mr Northrop was engaged in
the lumber business in Wilmington
for more than 50 years.
Succeeding his father in the
j lumber business, the firm name
changed 20 years ago to that of
the S & W H Northrop Lumber
Company, the business being
continued with Mr Northrop as
manager until he was stricken
with paralysis. Mr Northrop
was at one time a member of
the Board of Aldermen, a member
f Ai ;?I r XT
01 me commission ui n<tvi);auvn
and Pilotage, a ruling elder of
the first Presbyterian church, of
j whidh he was a member for
more than a half century, a
school committeeman, and for
20 years a director of the
Clarendon Water Works Company,
which was recently purchased
by the city. During his
term as alderman Mr Northrop
could have been elected mayor,
but his vote gave the office to
his opponent. Mr Northrop was
the founder of Immanuel Presbyterian
church, in which he
j had always displayed a deep and
I abiding interest.
Possessed of a genial, cheerful
i disposition, with a character
I noted for its unfailing generosity
and charitableness, Mr Northrop
always endaered himself to those
with whom he came in contact
and a distinct feeling of sadness
pervades the community now
that this truly good man is no
more. It was always a pleasure
for Mr Northrop to aid the poor
and during his life he cheered
the hearts of hundreds of destitute
with his kindly gifts and
ministrations of friendship. He
was a God fearing, high toned
Christian gentleman, universally
respected by everyone who
knew him and his passing from
life unto death brings sadness
to many hearts.
The tenderest sympathy of
friends will be extended the bereaved
relatives in their great
bereavement.
The funeral services will be
held tomorrow morning at 10
o'clock, from the first Presbyterian
church. The services
will be conducted by the Rev
J M Wells, and the interment
will be made in Oak dale cemetery.
