Mr C Patrick, uncle of our townsmen, Messrs B F and 0 H Patrick, died at his home in Charleston yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock.

Mr 0 H Patrick is in attendance upon the funeral in Charleston today. Representative 0 M Mitchell, of the Georgetown delegation to the General Assembly of South Carolina, was in the city on Monday, accom 1 . Mrs. Mary F. Jacobs Dead. "Death rides on every passing breeze. And lurks in every flower." The words of the poet, true and f Untr Kn o vn (JilLIlfUi; UIUUKII II1CJ uc, QIC Uiu.il lost sight of in the pursuit of our daily avocations until we are brought up with a shock to a realization of the frailty of human existence when the busy harvester garners into the granary of everlasting life one who is near and dear to us all. In a feeble way the sentiment above expressed tells how last Saturday morning the people of Kingstree felt when they heard the news: ''Mrs Jacobs is dead." Few of us knew that this good woman was sick, and no one, even those nearest to her, apprehended that. her end was so near. Mrs Mary Frederika Jacobs. "Ce Gewinner, was born in Germany December 18, 1850; she entered into eternal rest Saturday morning, at 4 o'clock, after an illness of one week. The funeral service was conducted at her home Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock by Rev P S McChesney, pastor of the Williamsburg Presbyterian church, following which her remains were borne to the Williamsburg cemetery in charge of the members of the Eastern Star, where the burial service was spoken in the presence of hundreds of friends gathered to pay their last tribute to the beloved dead. Of Mrs Jacobs' life and character there is but little that we can say. It speaks for itself among the people with whom she lived the greater part of her life. None who witnessed the tributes of flowers,_ loving words and tears, though he were a stranger to the deceased, could but be impressed with the truth of the sentiment generally uttered, "She was a good woman." After all, such an expression is the highest tribute to the dead. It tells in a few words his or her whole life's history and of but few persons could these words be more truthfully and sincerely spoken than of Mrs Jacpbs. When those in distress came to her she knew no distinction. With heart and hand she strove to relieve their troubles or necessities. She was a devoted wife, an affectionate mother and her heart was big enough to include every one in need of Kindness and sympathy. iruiy it may uc oaiu ui nc* . "None knew her but to love her. None named her but to praise." She was a member of the Willsamsburg Presbyterian church and there are few whose loss would be more keenly felt by their fellowmembers. Mrs Jacobs is survived by her husband, Mr Louis Jacobs,and eleven ' children, viz: M H, W N, T C and Dr C D Jacobs of Kingstree; Julian Jacobs of Charleston: Dr E G Jacobs of Macon, Ga; Louis Jacobs. Jr, of Richmond, Va, and Misses Etta, Mamie and Florence Jacobs and Mrs W I Nexsen of Kingstree, also one brother, Dr N G Gewinner of Macon,Ga, all of whom were present at the funeral. To the sorrowing family, and especially the grief-stricken husband thus bereaved of his companion of more than two score yearsSie offer our tenderest sympathy.

On Friday night last the closing exercises of the Shaw school were held, and quite a large and appreciative audience enjoyed the excellent programme. There were se\eral interesting recitations and short dialogues,which furnished entertainment for those present. Much credit is due the teacher and the children for the work accomplished, and the parents and patrons should be highly gratified at the splendid results achieved. It required much practice and painstaking care to enable the children to perform their parts so well, and especially is this true as to the majority of them, who had seldom engaged in such work before. We congratulate the community on the excellent showing made. HONOR ROLL.
