was the most honored landmark of Gran
i!eville. And now, as "James L. Quinby

Quinby & Co. carry on business scarce
ly second to any even in Augusta. Their
patrons believe in them heartily and
they have every right to do SO. They
invariably meet with courtesy and atten-
tion at Quinby's, and have long since
come to know that the goods they buy
there are always just as represented.
There in much satisfaction in dealing
with such an establishment as Quinby's.
and it is not strange that their business
increases steadily from year to year For

Two Aged Sisters Die In the Selfsame
'' Hour.

Miss Lucy Whatley and Miss Asia
Whatley, two maiden ladies, sisters, died,
at their home. one mile from Republican
Church, on Friday last. One was aged
about ininety-two years, the other about
ninety. They were both sick, but one
no. very much so. The latter asked the
Rev. J. P. Mealing, who was with them
how her sister was. he replied: " She
is quiet now." Raising herself up in
the bed, the living sister looked across
the room. and seeing a sheat drawn over
the face of the dead one, Immediately
yielded up her spirit to God. This IS
very touching. These two aged sisters
were pious members Of the Baptist
Church.
