Mrs. Mary F. Jacobs Dead.
"Death rides on every passing breeze.
And lurks in every flower."
The words of the poet, true and

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. MaWhe
departed one rest in peace and nie
sweetest flowers perennially bloom
o'er her grave.

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.
