A cata- bee iogue had been arranged setting forth in nig elaborate style some 40 works of art. be Great was the astonishment of the crowd 1 when they, were led in to witness the oei display. For instance: "The Pride of the Ireland" was an Irish potato; "Kids at ore Rest," pair of old kid gloves; "A Pleasant fnc Reflection," a looking glass; "The Great in* Departed," the letter I) cut in two; "The wl Four Seasons," salt, pepper, vinegar and set sugar; "A Stirring Subject," teaspoons; ati "The Early House of Washington," a 1 cradle; "Bonapart Crossing the Rhine," be two bones across an apple peeling, and ti\ so on down the line. The laughing be- an came uproarous as the lookers passed pr from piece to piece, and saw what a th neatly arranged sell it was, and how nicely they had been sold. The enter- nv tainment was arranged by Mrs. Georgie wi II. Center and Miss Ethelind Goss, and e<l they deserve much credit for the origi- ?>1 nal character of the affair.

'J It is with sincere regret that we chron- sj icle the sad death of Miss Mattie Brown- ' ing, of Cross Keys, which occurred at her home on Monday hist, alrout two o'clock. ^ She was a victim to the ravages of that , dreaded disease consumption. She was ^ apparently in her usual health Sunday, and attended Sunday schooi at Padgett's 1 i Creek church, of which she was a mem- ^ r ber and a true and faithful worker in the Master's cause. Monday she assisted as usual in the household duties and ate a * hearty dinner. Not long after dinner, ' . however, she was attacked with a hem- ). 3 orlmge, and bled to death in a few minutcs. It is very sad to see such a bright , * and promising life cut off in the very . ' bloom of womanhood. Miss Mattie was . of a lovable disposition,.to know her was to love her for her Stirling Christian 1 * character. She delighted in good works, , e and was instrumented in raising a contriluition from her neighborhood for the , ' lieneflt of the Galveston sufferers. Her ' death is a sad loss to the Cross Keys secP tion, and the whole settlement attended . the funeral services at Padgett's Creek church, Tuesday, making one of the largest gatherings of the kind ever seen ' d at that church. Every one came to pay ). the last sad tribute of respect to the t mortal remains of her whom them all loverl. The funeral was preached by r llev. Mr. K/ell, and her remains were ?t laid to rest in the silent church yard be8. side those of her loved ones, who had or gone before, all victims of the same disease, that relentless and unconquerable destroyer of human life, consumption. s. She leaves a loving mother, an effoctionate brother and a host of friends throughT1" out Union county to mourn her untimely y. end. We extend our sympathy to the p- liereaved ones. re- ' * * er Lot For Sale. 101 One Building Tx>t on N. Church street 80 feet front 200 feet deep. , 38-tf D.

We had intended going v\ t on the excursion but we could not -j , there in time, however we were l'or- ^ late enough t?.? have General Manager, ' Cl M.

Knowing tliat the track sa new one, it was nardiy to 0 * ex- j ted that the riding would not bo | aewhat rough; such was not the rasa .vevcr, the coaches skimmed along A ?r the track without a jostle and as : cotton fields, forest, tinih as, hills 1 ravines llew by, onoould easily iin- r~~ no lie was on the Southern raiiroad, :ing a trip through the up-country. Jpon arrival at the mill we noticed it work had stopped and very few peoi were in sight, but upon turning the C3 ner of the big building we saw a . :at crowd of laborers congregated "J mnd the Cap'n's olllce in the rear of QC i mill. They were being piid off. jrkiug our way to the office, we found "*~ issis. L. (i. Young and W. II. Danny mm busy as bees in a tar bucket, paying the hands and issuing tickets of turnstalion. Upon Mr. Wright's sug- , lion we took a stroll around the mill, 10\ 1 then through the town proper. Tlie Jul utid story of the mill is finished, two ire stories tire to be added, and the ge force of hands are pushing the rk along rapidly. This is going to be . nagniiiccnt structure when finished.

Everything mis to be working in the most systemc and business like manner. Glancing over on the hill a large liumr of neat two-story houses for operares were seen dotting the eminence, ^ d we decided to take in the town ^ oper. Mr. Wright piloted us through e town via Main street?that is to be. aite a number of families have already oved into these houses, and one family as moving into one of them as we pass- a I. There are llfty of these houses iout completed, and 150 more to go up his will hj a hustling little town when 1 the houses are up and occupied. The iwn will lie thoroughly equipped with ;ery modern convenience such 'as elec- -|ic lights, water works and sewerage L /stem, which will he connected with ,-ery house in the town. A mammoth and pipe is soon to he erected half a lile hack from the mill on a high emience. This will supply the mill and ie operatives' houses with all the water ecessary. The Buffalo Mill is a big ling, and Mr. Duncan is the man to ush it along. It is worth a trip to see the sights ~ Hereabouts, and a return trip on the nil road costs only 15 cents. r The passenger traffic on this road is 1 ready getting to be of considerable immrtancc, the fares are increasing daily. ?he Gen. Manager, Mr. Geo. M. Wright, ,i an an excursion Saturday afternoon for r lie benetlt of the mill operatives, and ,he number of passengers was 10S. The wo coaches were literally crowded. The iperatives *are allowed a 5 cents rate iach way, and aro hauled in gondolas fhey wero so numerous last Saturday ivening as to till two of these ilat cars. ? Mr. Wright was so well pleased with the esult of the first excursion, and theoi?e- v ratives were so delighted with the op|>or- *] Utility for an outing of a few hours in the country, that ho has decidod to run mother one Saturday. He will make two trip s this tim \ one train lowing the mill at *2:30, the o,h>;- at p. in , and he may run a regular Saturday excursion tiain in the future. The people of the town sh raid take a Wantage of t he e excursions, and go out to see the big mill. It is worth your while. ----- ' m Manly Men.
