these pests; and the sheep are constantly
nibbling IN their tleeces to allay the irrIta-
ton caused by them, Yet, shetp-Owners

have been known to be so pestered with
ticks after the sheep have been sheared
and the ticks, deprived of shelter, have lett
them, and gathered upon the lambs, that

there is an effective remedy, viz: Dipping
the lambs early in the season, or both lambs
and sheep later. 4 he most effective dip Is
an infusion OF tobacco and sulphur.

about SIS, 900, consists of two quite COM

the use of the church proper, and the other
for sabbath school and prayer meeting
purposes.

reply was to the effect that
for obvious reasons it had been determin-
ed to postpone the work of organization

the one dollar December fee for member,

DEATH OF FRED BABcocK.

With feelings of unutterable sadness
the ARGUS to-day records the death of G.
Fred Babcock which occurred in Charles
ton, S. c., this morning at a quarter to 4
o'clock. No particulars are received res
pecting the cause of death A few weeks
ago, however, the family of Mr.. Alexander
Steel received a letter from Fred stating
that he had been very ill for a
period of three weeks, or
Whereabouts, but was at the time of writ
ing in a convalescent state and hoped to
fully recover. Since then, however, letters
have been received from time to time in
timating that relapse had occurred but
not foreshadowing a fatal termination.
At least one of his relatives was in almost
hourly expectation of the arrival of other
news which, if unfavorable, would have
been the. sigma. for her departure for
Charleston to assist in caring for him.
The fatal termination, therefore, of his
sickness must have come almost without
warning
Deceased. who was about 90 year
of age, WAS the son of the late George M.
Babcock, and step-son of Mrs. Alexander
Steel, and was born and reared IN this city.
For the last five or six years he had been
ngaged with Mr. Bangs on government
work in Charleston and so far as is known
up to the time of his late illness. had en-
joyed good health. Besides other relatives
who mourn the untimely death of one who
was very dear TO them.and whose friends
leaves of the forest, there are the follow
ing named sisters: Mrs. George Heaey,
Hampton; Miss Grace Babcock, Rock ISL |
and, and Miss Lucy Babcock, of Geneseo
This announcement, which is OF |
necessity brief, will come with peculiar sad
ness to the people of this city, especially |
TO the legion of young friends of deceased |
with whom he passed from childhood into |
The grand possibilities of a sterling bust
ness manhood. At such time and deal /
