IT is sad at any time TO announ ee
the death of human being, but par
ticnlarly so to record that of true
friend, kind relative and an affec-
tionate mother. Such was Mrs. Mary
Crook, of st. Matthews, and wife of
the late Rev. John d. w. Crook, of
the South Carolina Conference, who
died last Monday morning at the
residence of her son, Mr.. d. w.
Crook, after short and sudden ILL
ness. The daily lives of few persons
accord nearer with their professions
than hers. Mre. Crook professed to
be christian, an earnest follower OF
Jesus, and she lived up to that pro-
fsssion. Religion was q principle not
a convenience with her. 1t controll.
ed her actions, her words and her
thoughts, bringing all into o sacred
nearness with the life OF Him whom
she followed and loved. AS friend
we revere her memory and mourn
our loss.

a better drill evenin the beet compa-

and justly so, Of the Edistos, bui
seems TO us that the hearts of f
moneyed men ought to be openeu, :,
and thei- purses too, TO provide n
han dsome uniform for this command.
Nothing adds more TO the credit of a
community than lis military, and
nothing improves the appearance of a
company more than the uniform of it's
members sand if We would enjoy the
just pride we feel in the Edisto Rifles,
let us uniform the members in man.

and the skill Of the command. Moth
ing is ever lost by building up and
supporting laudable personal pride.
Every town Of any individuality can
boast Of some military organization
upon which it looks with pride on &C.
casions Of county or State parade, so
let Orangeburg town foster the Eds
los and the county, the various or
ganizatlons in her respective commu-
mites.

the days enjoyment and the crowd
began to dispcrse and to return to
their homes delighted with the sue
cess Of The occasion and with another
opportunity Of social intercourse be-
tween neighbors and friends and even
between communities Of our county.
The great success of this will, We
trust, emboldcr our citizens to enter
upon the festivities Of the next fourth

sive preparations, in order that the
whole county, military and citizens,
may participate in its joys together.

to the heart Of the fair plaintiff by the pcrverse
duct of the defendant in not bestowing upon her all
of his worldly in return for her hand and
undivided heart. One juror reached as high
US $500. Several were content to give cent
damages which would have carried with it the costs,
while the others named sums ranging between the
highest and lowest. Finally. the entire jury were
brought to q unit by one of them arguing that the
testimony of Mrs. Murphy, who. with Jacob O'Brien.
nephew of Brogan was witness for the defendant,
that Brogan had gone on o certain day to his own
house to prepare to to the house of plaintiff,
to be married, conclusive that there was pre-
vious engagement between the parties. Acting on
this consideration OF the testimony the jury agreed
on the sum Of $500 as their verdict. This morning
the verdict was opened by the Court and announced

defendant and his friends. they had confidently
expected that it would have been in their favor.
