his age.
Erastus Avery was born July Is, A. D, 1881
in Lebanon, CT; resided there with his parents
until he was thirteen years of age; removed
to New York city where he remained until
twenty years of aee,when the family removed to
Urbana, Champaign County, Ohio There in
1856, he married Miss Frances J. Tanquary,
daughter of W. R. Tanquary, now of Lancas-
ter. In 1854 they came to Lancaster, which
was Mr.. Avery's home ever since, except two
years passed in Knoxville, Tenn. He was
reared by christian parents and through life
manifested by his walk those precepts then
taught Though not professor of religion he GER
tainly believed in God. His last words to dear
friends were, ~ put my trust in God andhis
mercy" He repeated often, II am not afraid
| to de-" He was the fifth son of family OF
of six. Mrs. N. L. Cox, of indianapolis, Ind,
| being the only survivor. OF his own family
there remains only one child, Linda Avery a
grown daughter. In this community the de.
ceased was very highly respected: none more
| so. He was a man Of positive but not pre-
sumptve character. Firm, unyielding in his
opinions upon religion, politics or other sub
| jects he accorded to others the right to be un-
| yielding in theirs. His beliefs therefore never
| provoked enmity. In his business dealings he
| was regarded as the most correct man ia this
community. Frequently in settlements with
merchants he has pointed out to them articles
they had neglected to charge him with when
purchased. 1t was always his habit to put ev-
cry business transaction on record. There
was nothing in his habits, in his conversation
or in his manners to give offence, and every
acquaintance became his friend. Thus with
the death Of Mr.. Avery good man has passed
away, and the whole people sorrow that they
can no more meet with him and talk with him.
His funeral was attended ON Tuesday by many
| friends who in sadness saw the wasted speech
| less, inanimate form go to its narrow home in
| the Lancaster cemetery. Whatever men may
wish for "their last end"-for their life beyond
| the grave-any man does well and dies hon.
ored who lives like Erastus Avery.

"THE ATLANTA MEDICAL INsTITUT.

"THE ATLANTA MEDICAL INSTITUTE" "
We understand that there is great dis
satisfaction among the numerous parties
suffering from all sorts of chronic afec-
tions, from this and several of the ad-
Joining counties, who we're induced to 60
to Ab6eville and other places, attracted
by the advertisement of the Atlanta
Medical Institute, asking such parties to
report, and they would treat them.
Many poor persons went, at considerable
expense, in obedience to the invitation.
They were disappointed by being told in
nearly every instance to come to Atlanta,
and the prices charged seemed to be
very exorbitant. Doubtless many OF
their cases have to be treated in a regular
institution, under the care of skillfill
surgeons, hut many of these cases are
often operated upon by surgeons from
Charleston and Columbia, at the home of
the patients, with complete success the
after treatment being carried out BY the
family physician. This is great saving
to our people, and the sooner they learn
to rely upon scientific and skillful sur
geons at home, The better for them. We
express the sense of our people in saying
that this trip Of the surgeons of the At.
lanta Medical Institute was grand
drumming expedition for that institution,
without consulting the interest of the
unfortunates whom they attracted by
observation-disclosures Guardian.

WILLIAMSON
FEMALE COLLEGE,
WILLIAMSON, S. c.,

IS approaching the close Of most pleas
ant and prosperous session. The One
Study Plan, which is one Of its principal
peculiarities, gives constantly increasing
satisfaction. Each pupil, having only one
leading study at time, can give this study
such attention rs to ensure much better
success than is possible when the mind is
occupied by several subjects ut once.
Williamson is q well.known summer
resort for invalids in search of health. The
Chalybcate Spring, very short distance
from the College, has greatly benefited
many of our pupils, who, coming to US
in delicate health, have returned home
strengthened in body and mind.
Unusual attention is given to physical
exercise. BY the habitual practice of light
calisthenic movements and the careful use
of the Health-Lift every day, the evils OF
sedentary life are greatly mitigated, if not
entirely overcome.

beyond that he can bear. The plan is,
little by little-every man aiding just in
proportion to the degree of prosperity
with which high heaven invariably
blesses those who do not bury, their
talents, but use them.
The gentleman Who is at the head Of
this enterprise In this city, is in evefy
possible way admirably fitted for the
prominent position to which he has been
called in connection with it. President
William T. Wheless, of the well-known
firm oi Sibley & Wheless, and President
of the Commercial Bank, is gentleman
of 6rst-cless business abilities. He be-
longs to that class of men, the members
of which do not listlessly take hold OF
any measure. He espouses cause, be-
cause convinced that 1t is JUST he enl-
barks Id an enterprise, because persuaded
that it is both practicable and desirable.
Besides this, President Wheless is q
young man and fully abreast of the
times. There is to-day not man in
this city, OF, for that matter, in this
State, who is more keenly alive to the
wants of our people and the agencies
which, if properly handled, may be
made to supply those wants than VIM
T. Wheless. I write this, of course,
without his knowledge, and do so simply
for the purpose of acquainting your peo'
pie with the manner of man with whom
your people will be brought into active
relations at an early day.
1t WIS not my purpose to have written
so much OF the subject of railway COM
munication. 1t was in my mind to give
you one or two short paragraphs on that
topic, then to branch out into gossipy
letter. I may do that some fine day,
provided you are "like Barkis."

Determinations in Freight.

On recent visit to the city of Charles.
ton I was gratifed to see the spirit that
existed among the merchants of that city
upon this subject. They have at last
seen, and are feeling, the cause of their
loss of trade, and have already held a
meeting to consider what plan was best
to adopt to bring back the trade of the
upper section of our State. Their facil-
tiles for purchasing and selling goods, or
for handling cotton successfully, is far
better than her sister cities, if they can
remove the only obstacle-the heavy
freight charges over the South Carolina
Railroad and her branches leading into
the up-country. Not so much the South
Carolina Railroad proper, for freights
over that line, and also passage fare, is
certainly reasonable enough, but it is all
tackled on after 1t gets into the hands Of
some of its branches. Another of the
evils complained of very much by our
city merchants, and justly 40, is the want
of connection between the Railroads and
the vessels on the Wharf. This would
relieve them very much, and the Rail-
road would have been extended long
ago, but gentlemen owning this property,
who are generally in some way identified
With the South Carolina Railroad, object
on the ground that the grass would grow
up on the Wharf if such was the case.
Another reason assigned is, that the
company ia not in possession of the nec-
essary funds to make the change. This
objection has been met by individuals
who propose to furnish the funds if the
company would make the connection.
These questions have almost caused a
little antagonism to spring up between
the upper and lower country, and we
will all hail with joy any relief that can
be given, and the removal of any obsta-
Gle that may have existed heretofore.
Something will certainly be done, for the
matter is under consideration in the
proper shape, and it will aot be very
long until we hope to see change for
the better, and that inducements will be
offered to the up-county which will
again place Charleston on equality with,
if not give her great advantages over,
sister cities in many ways. One change
has already been effected through the
efforts of the enterprising firm of F. w.
Wagner & Co., which is great advant-
age to parties shipping small lots of pro-
duce, such as apples, potatoes, cabbages,
chestnuts, etc. All of this class of goods
can to-day be sent through for 25c per
hundred pounds. This will lead to
more diversified industry among the
farmers, for all who have desired to
engage in this business, and have been
prevented on account of the excessive
freight charges, and the length of time
upon the roads, can make the trip in less
than "a hours; and all goods, however
perishable, can be shipped without loss.
