you notice a larger number of insects
this summer than usual?" To his
an affirmative reply was given.
"Well," said the visitor, "those guns
are fired at bats. With the killing
of the bats, comes the multiplication
of insects."

Death of Mrs. P. 1$ Faut.'
On Saturday morning, August 22,
Mrs. P. E. Fant died at ber home iu
Union. She had been desperately sick
for two or three months .and her lovul
oues had been looking for the end for
some time.. Every effort that mortal
could put forth was exercised in her behalf.
The best of medical skill, careful
nursing and the tenderesc care were
giveu her, but to no avail. Death came
to ber relief, and her soul left the house
of clay. The crumbling walls of the
earthly house fell apart and her spirit
entered the paradise of God. Mrs
Fant was a good woman. Iler life was
an open book, the pages of which were
clean aud beautiful. Her Saviour was
magnified iu her daily life, She spoke <
the language of Canaan. By her quiet,
unasssuming life, a life tilled with good
deeds and kind words, she drew to herself
a large circle of true friends. She ;
was little given to "fashionable society."
Her home aud the heart of her friends '
was as large a field its she clioee to occupy.
This field she tilled to its full.
A woman of the world, gay, fashionable,
frivolous, dies: her friends raise their
hands and utter an exclamation. The
gap closes up and the world moves on.
She is forgotten long before the grass
grows upon her grave. Not so with a
woman like Mrs. Fant. She tcok dtep
root in the heart of loved ones and
friends. Her departure leaves bleeding i
heai ts and weeping eyes. Such a life
silences the tongues of critics v. ho pick (
(laws in Christians and churches. Such |
r life inspires the weak with courage and
leads the erring back into the way.
Mrs. Fact was a member of Grace J
Methodist Church, and was a teacher in ,
the Sunday school. Iler ho ly was laid I
away in the cemetery there. A large 1
gathering of friends met at her residence
Sunday morning at 11 o'clock, and Rev. ,
T. E. Morris conducted a short service, I
after which the body was carried to tl.e
grave, arid placed in its resting place. Let
ao one say, "Poor woman, she is de; d." (
"She is not dead, but sleepeth." She Is ?
rich b yond the dream of mortal, for her 1
pirit has found the fulness of joy. May \
those who mourn be cornfoited. May s
the gontle life of this godly woman lead !
ivery one of theai into the Way of the f
Nazarine. i

A grievous wail oftimcs comes as a

Small Fire,
<
Saturday night about midnight the
fire alarm sounded. The fire proved
to bo a small barn belonging to a :
house owned by Mr. P. C. Whisenant,
and located on South Church street,
next door to the one he occupies himself.
The fire is thought to have
been the work of incendaries and
there are several clews that may lead
to the discovery of the guilty party
Suicide Prevented.
The startling announcement that a
preventive of suicide had been found
will interest many. A run down system,
or despondency, invariably pre- '
cedes suicide and something has been
found that will prevent that condition
which makes suicide likely. .At the
first thought of self-destruction take
Electric Bitters. It being a great tonic
and nervine will strengthen the nerves
and build up the system. It's also a
great Stomach, Liver and Kidney regulator.
Only 50c. Satisfaction guaranteed
by F. C. Duke, Druggist.
Mrs. O, H, Center Dead.
In glancing through an exchange last
week we noticed that an administialor
had been appointed for the estate of
Mrs. G. H. Center, deceased. It will
probably be a shock to'many people to
learn of her death. She taught in our
graded school a year or two, resigning
her place because of poor health,
some two years past. She made many
friends duridg her stay in Union, and
proved herself an excellent Christian
woman.

"Two physicians lmd a long and bittor

Ga., "and gave mo up. Everybody

JT. G, Trefzer Crushed To Death
In the Freight Yards In Atlanta.
The sail news of the death of Mr.
J. G. Trefzer, was wired to Mr. F. G.
Frelzer, his brother, the j-jweler here iu
Union, Monday eaily in the afternoon.
Mr. F. G. Trefzer and wife left on the
(list train for Atlanta to bring the remains
of the deceased to Union for interment.
The following account of the
tragedy is from the Atlanta Journal:
J. G. Trefzer, a fireman on the \V.
and A. road, who tioarded at .*12 Chapel
street, was this afternoon shortly after
1'2 o'clock crushed to death between
Engine No. 154 and a coal car. The
accident occurred about 50 yards north
of the W. and A. shops.
Engiue No. 104 had just taken on a
load of coal and was moving north preparatory
to hitching on to 12:30 freight
for Cbattanoogo when Trefzer met his
death. lie was standiug in the gangway
between the tender and the engine
proper, leaning out, it seems, to see if
tho engine could pass the coal cais
ahead. The space between the engine
and the coal cars was very small at this
point and in some way Trefzer was
caught by a projecting post on a coal
car and pulled m between the boiler
lank and tho car. With a cry of pain
he was crushed to almost instant death
and hurled to the ground before Engineer
W. A. Woolbright could realize what
was happening.
Trefzer was barely alive when
reached and died before he could be re
moved to the round house, lie never
regained consciousness. His head was
badly -crushed and fatal injuries
were received in the chest. The bod\
was this afternoon removed to 32 Chapel
ni?i, ??ih.-iw me iunerai seivice3 will
probably occur.
Trefzer was about 3D years old ami a
(ietuian by birth, lie bad no relatives
liere but left one brother who resides in
Union, S. C. Trefz,:r was a M ison and
Ixdouged also to the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen. lie had been in the
miiploy of the Western and Atlantic
road for about two years. Previous to
Lhis time he was a llremaa on the Seaboard
Air Lino.
The brother of the dead man has been
aotifed of his death and the funeral arrangements
will not be made until he is
>eard l'rom.
