Mr. J. A. Bradham Dead. Greelyville, February 8:?Mr Julius A Bradham, a well known Confederate veteran, passed quietly away Friday, January 29, 1915, at his home 5 miles north of Greelyville. He celebrated his 78th birth-1 day last October. He served throughout the Civil war, being wounded in several places, one of which wounds caused his right arm to be amputated. He was twice married and his two wives were sisters, the first being Miss Martha Chandler and the second Miss F A Chandler, the latter of whom survives him. The deceased was a member of Greelyville Baptist church, with which he united many years ago. Mr Bradham was a good man, kind-hearted and peace-loving and friendly to all.and,withal, a substantial citizen of the community in which he lived. He was ill six weeks, being stricken with nephritis, which seemed to gain a stronger hold on him each day, until the Master called him home. He was laid to rest Sunday, January 31, at 12:30 p. m. in Kingstree Baptist cemetery. Rev W E Hurt conducted the funeral ceremony. He leaves to mourn his loss seven children, twenty-three grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Thus another faithful Confederate veteran has answered the call of "taps".

When the evening shade is fallin' at the closing of the day, An* a feller rests from labor, smokin' at his pipe of clay, There's nothing does him so much good, be fortune up or down, As the little country paper from his Old Home Town. It ain't a thing of beauty and its print's not always clean, But it straightens out his temper when a feller's feeling mean; It takes the wrinkles off his face an' brushes off the frown, That little country paper from his Old Home Town. ST* V It tells of all the parties and the balls of Pumpkin Row, 'Bout who spent Sunday with who's girl, and now the crops'll grow, An' how it keeps a feller posted who's up and who is down, That little country paper from his Old Home Town. Now, I like to read the dailies and the story papers too, And at times the yaller novels and some other trash?don't you? But when I want some other readin' that'll brush away a frown, I want that little paper from my Old Home Town. ?Denver Post. Do You Flod Fault with Everybody? An irritable, fault-finding disposition is often due to a ii: ?rdered stomach. A man with good diges tion i3 nearly always good natured. A great many have been permanently benefited by Chamberlain's j Tablets after years of suffering, j These tablets strengthen the stomach and enable it to perform its functions naturally.

"Give us a song!" the soldiers cried, The outer trenches guarding, When the heated guns of the camps allied Grew weary of bombarding. The dark Redan, in silent scoff. Lay, grim and threatening, under; And the tawny mound of the Malakoff No longer belched its thunder. There was a pause. A guardsman said, "We storm the forts to-morrow; king while we may,?another day Shall bring enough of sorrow." They lay along the battery's side, Below the smoking cannon, Brave hearts, from Severn and from Clyde And from the banks of Shannon. They sang of love, and not of fame; Forgot was Britain's glory: Each heart recalled a different name, But all sang "Annie Laurie." Voice after voice caught up the song, Until its tender passion Rose like an anthem, rich and strong. ? Their battle-eve confession. Dear girl.her name he dared not speak; But as the song grew louder, Something upon the soldier's cheek Washed off the stains of powder. Beyond the darkening ocean burned The bloody sunset's embers, While the Crimean valleys learned How English love remembers. And once again a fire of hell Rained on the Russian quarters, With scream of shot, and bust of shell, And bellowing of the mortars! And Irish Nora's eyes are dim For a singer, dumb and gory; And English Mary mourns for him Who sang of Annie Laurie. Sleep, soldiers! still in honored rest Your truth and valor wearing: The bravest are the tenderest,? The loving are the daring. ?Bayard Taylor. tarrti 1 mm I The public is cordially invited to attend any of the services of the various churches of Kingstree. Baptist Church. Rev W E Hurt, Pastor.

"My brother, McCabe Davis, gave me a small bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. After taking this I bought half a1 dozen bottles of it but only used one of them, as the cough left me and I have not been troubled since." Obtainable everywhere. Among the many that are grim : and somber, at least one of the warring nations is not without its, picturesque,albeit pathetic, result of j cannon devastation. On the streets ' of London scores of pretty young French and Belgian girls, gayly decked in their national colors, now cry the daily papers. ||k I An (BlflJ [ JAMES OLWELU 7f AT ALL DISF * ? pDlT I Touring Cars, I Roadsters, I For business oi I Ford.
