Death ol a Young Lady. Bethel, August 5:?Miss NaDnie, the 15-year-old daughter of Mr and Mrs R C McElveen, died this morning at 2:30 o'clock, after an illness of some months. It was thought when she was first taken sick that her illness was not of a serious nature, and, although eyery attention possible was given her, she seemed to grow gradually worse until death came this morning, her sweet spirit passing to its Creator almost without the knowledge of the loved ones attending her. "Nan," as she was known by all her friends, was just blooming into womanhood; she was a sweet girl, and lived an exemplary Christian life. Her death will be widely mourned. The funeral services will take place this afternoon at 4 o'clock at the old McElveen home in the Bethel section. The services will be conducted by her pastor, Rev D M Clark, and interment will be made at the McElveen burying ground, near Bethel Presbyterian church. Boys' Swimming Campaign.

The second game, played Tuesday afternoon,resulted in a score of 4 to 3 in favor of the visitors.

This is to inform my friends and the public that I have sold part of my interest in the Nelson Wirehouse to Messrs E C Burgess and Geo A McElveen. Owing to the larger territory assigned me this season by my cotton seed people, I find it impossible to devote my entire time to the warehouse business, and after careful consideration decided to dispose of a portion of my interest in the same. I wish to assure my friends and customers that the two gentlemen to whom I have sold part of my interest will show you and serve you courteously at all times, and 1 ask that you continue to stand by Nelson's Warehouse in the future as you have heretofore. I expect to be in and out of town during the RpAson. and when here you will find me at the warehouse in my usual capacity. Very sincerely, Kingstree, S C, D J Epps. August 2, 1915.
