Death of Miss Louisa F. DaCosta

At Mr.. T. w. McKle's, on our South
ern borders, on Sunday the 2Oth Novem
ber 1882, died Miss Louisa DaCoSta. II
the ten years Immediately following the
close of the war, Miss DaCosta was wide
" known in the Meriwether section O.
our County, as very unusually accom-
plished teacher of Music and drawing
She was a daughter Of Charles DaCosta.
pianist, organist and an eminent professor
osmusic in Norfolk and in Charleston be-
fore and during the war; Prot. DaCosta
and his family were enthusiastic sympa-
thizers with the South; and in Charleston,
during the vicissitudes of the civil strife
they lost their all. For many years past
Miss DaCosta, too enfeebled by disease
and too untitled by a morbid love OF lone
lines, to further pursue her avocation Of
teaching, found home under the roof OF
Mr.. T. w, McKie-a home Of ease, COM
fort and loving-kindness. Indeed the
tender mercy and generous devotion OF
Mr.. and Mrs Thomas W. Mckie to this
lonely and friendless stranger, make up
one of the most remarkable manifestations
of nobleness of human character we have
ever known. And when "Christ comes 20
make up his Jewels" He will not forget
these deeds of these people. Miss Da-
Costa was buried at Sweetwater Church,
and with every appurtepance and demon
stration of respect. Her funeral services
were conducted by the aged and venera-
hla Samnel Eetzen.

Keep on planting Oats.
1t is the universal hope Of all interested
in the prosperity of the farming interest
that the continued planting of oats will
not be neglected. The splendid oat crop
made this year has been worth thousands
of dollars, and as the next crop of corn
may not turn out as abundantly as the
present, another good and extensive oat
crop would come in opportunely to sup
plement it and supply the deficiency, AS
a crop most easily made, and one Of the
most economical of all, oais stand at the
head of the list.

Care for the Poor Soldier.

Care for the P0or SOiuler.
The State has helped soldiers who lost
an arm or leg in the late war. And why
not those who lost. an eye, and whose ca
reer in life has been pitifully blasted there
by? Indeed at the last session of the Leg
islature, there was special act passed
giving two hundred dollars each to three
old soldiers who had respectively lost an
eye. This was emphatically right and
prope". Aud now we claim from that
body the same favor for that gallant and
still suffering old Edge6eld soldier, Mr.
T. A. Jones-or as our Representatives
viii Letter know him, "Dolph." Mr.
Jones, brave and faithful in the service,
until too manned 10 do more, was first
shockingly wounded in the left shoulder,
and, afterwards, at Maryland Heights,
had an eyeball completely shattered And
poor fellow, as he fell, and no or ever
dreamed he would rise again, he crled
aloud: "Move forward, comrades, and leave
me to nv fate" From that day un,.l
This, his life has been one Of physical SUI
ferjoe. and often has he been thrca a.eneu
with the loss of the other eye, We know
of no old soldier who more deserves help
5iom the State than ourffiend and compa-
triot Jones: and we earnestly hespeak the
efforts of our Senator and Representatives
ia his behalf
