Miss CARRIE DEE STUART, daugh-
ler Of John A. and Mrs. Mary A. Stu
art, died of typhoid fever, at Ninety
Six, on Saturday last, aged twelve
years. She was buried in the vii
lage cemetery OH Sunday. Rev.
j. o. Lindsay held the usual burial
services. And now the lips of
one whose life was a perpetual lita-
ny has turned to dust, and the
bright and gentle, the sweet and
a~rtless, the loved and tender child,
too pure for earth, has gone to that
city whose gates are of pearls, and
whose streets are of gold, where eter-
7 nal day excludes the night.

footing before the Aston House, i'll
honor of the. aforesaid distinguished

to show his face on the soil of South
Carolina.
