Deaths.

Mrs. Elizabeth Sigh died very sud-
denly Tuesday niget, May 20th, at the
home Of her son Mr.. p. Z. Sigh. She
was very estimable lady and was
highly esteemed by all who knew her.
Mrs. Minnie Hendricks, the oldest
daughter uf Mr.. Walter Barre, died on
Sunday the 18th iostant from the
effects Of childbirth, about two weeks
ago having given birth TO three chill
dren, who all died within a few hours
Of each other, and not long after their
birth. This is the saddest dispen-
Sation of Providence within our eX-
perience. The deceased was quite
young, and had been married only .
few years. She was amiablc, affection
ate and pious in character, and her
early and unexpected death has made
i void which only time and a resigua-
ton to the will of the Divine Ruler
can fill. Her. family feels her loss, but
to the dead one this loss is only gain.
$She has already found her loving mo
ber on the beautiful shores of immor-
bliss who proceeded her a few
hrs ago. Mother and babes now
et sweetly in the bosom OF the
Hayior.

Miss Woods Readings.

We confess to modification and dis
appointment that our community en-
hihited so little attention and we may
say sympathy for this very amiable
night last. We expected and conf
tlently looked for full lroom-but alas,
the people did not turn out. Perhaps
the price OF admission was too small,
only % cents. The entertainment
was worth 50 cents, and we regret for
Miss Woods sake that this price was
not charged. In manner Miss Wood
is quite attractive, and her rendition
of the various pieces showed her to be
mistress in the art Of elocution. The
selection given was good, and those
who failed to honor her with their
presence missed treat.

That ''the race is not always to the

Mr.. Il. J.. White. Mr.. w. is man OF
resources, if he cannot do cA hing
he will try another. 1t was a foot
race this time, the parties, himself
and his son-in-law, Williams, terms OF
the race a distance of 100 yards, Will
liams like good son giving the father
40 yards the start. At a given signal
the racers started, Williams put forth
every nerve to overcome the 40 yards
loss, but the old man Notwithstanding
his great avoirdnpois came in ahead by
ten steps. 1t is said that he fell dur
ing the race but we doubt this. He
says that it was the tightest thing he
ever tried, and he cannot now see how
he got his feet up off the ground. 1t
is wonderful to us-his weight being

We Don't Like 1t.

We cannot account for the fatality
that if a paragraph is copied from the
Newberry HERALD, tits either credited
to the Neacs. the Observer or some other
paper, or receives no credit whatever.
The HERALD seems to have become
obsolete, and q paper which has no ex-
istence. We have borne with this until
patience has ceased to be virtue, and
we sincerely ask that practice so repre-
hensible be discontinued. The only
time that the HERALD has been noticed
of late occurred last week, when the
Ne'cs & Courier in speaking OF the Press
representative credited Mr.. +. H.
Greneker of the Neaos as OF the, HER
AID. We dislike these things.
