OBITUARY..

After an Illness OF three weeks, OF
typhoid fever, Miss Eliza J.. Ferguson
died Aug. 27th at the residence Of Mrr
Annie White, in Rus.ellyille.
The deceased was born in Sewer
county, Feb. 10, 1864, and was conse-
qnently in her 2lst year. She profess
ed religion in her fourteenth or fif.
teenth year and joined the M. T..
church south at the Cove, near Potts
Station, under Rcv. jerome HARRISON, a
consistent member of which she re-
manned to the day of her death. For a
length OF time she was teacher In the
Cove Sunday School and was attentive
and devoted to her class. 10 show her
regard for them, by some means she
had failed, In giving presents to her
class, TO bestow one on one OF the mem
bers. For this one she provided ON her
death-bed. On coming to town she at
tached herself to this writer's class OF
young ladies In the Methodist Sunday
School, all OF whom will join him IN a

gone.
During the revival Of Rev. Mr.. Rob-
inson here, some one happened to ask
her if she was a member of the church.
The question panied her she said be-
cause her life had not been fuller IL
lustration of her profession.
Her dying hour was happy and vic
torious. She talked to friends just be-
fore her departure of the hope she had
In Christ and begged Thorn to meet her
I'm heaven. Her way was perfectly
clear and lie- faith strong. Just mo-
ment or two before the end she quietly
crossed her hands on her breast and in
a whisper murmured, "home, Sweet
Home" and passed over Jordan with
these heavenly notes lingering on her
young lips.
Nothing could he more sublime than
the triumphant death of this Christian
girl May ours be like hers.She was bur-
led at old Pisgah about five miles from
town, where her father and other men,
bers of the family lie sleeping until the
last day, surrounded by large con-
course OF relatives and friends. Her
funeral services were conducted by
Rev. II. b. Milner. Her splendid vic
tory ever death is the greatest consola-
ton to be offered to those who weep
her gone. A reunion will take place
over yondcr.

Mr.. Will Rodgers will resign the
town marshalship tonight, to embark
In other business.
The hogs In this county are fatter
than ever seen at this time of the year
before. At q few places we hear OF
some disease among them, but as gen.
eral thing they are healthy. Many a
farmer will loose meney this year by
not having hogs.
We are sorry to announce the death
of Mrs. M. Clayton which occurred last
Tuesday evening. She had been a suf-
ferer long time and her death had
been expected for sometime before II
occurred. The sympathy of his many
friends are with the Der eft husband and
little son whom she leaves behind her.
We learn just az we 20 to press
that the condition of some OF our sick Il
more hopeful. Brother hclton's con-
dition is better and Mrs. Renfrow oon-
sideraby improved, while Mrs. Allen Is
better also. This will be happy intel
llgence TO many anxious friends.
Our best information indicates a
damage to the crops of this county at
% per. cent of the whole. In some To-
calities cotton is only half crop and
some corn is badly hurt, and the turnip
crop Is not yet sown In but very small
part of the county. Unless it rains
soon this crop Will be all entire failure.

Big Luck.

1t is gratifying to US to note the
fact that Messrs. John Cameron and
j. @. Morrison were the lucky own
ers of one-fifth OF ticket No 4S,954
in The Louisiana State Lottery
which drew the $4,000 prize in the
Drawing of July IA. This forever
does away with the reasoning OF
those crying fraud, because these
gentlemen are too well known to
admit Of a thought for a moment
that they would lend themselves as
parties to deceive the public. The
fact is, they held the ticket and it
has been promptly cashed and our
good friends wear broad smiles be-
cause Of their good luck. In the
face Of undisputable facts some will
still doubt that which has been dem
onstrated beyond doubt to any rea-
sonable mind. Talk with these
gentlemen and you will then know
that The Louisiana State Lottery
cashes its drawings and that persons
do not have to stand in with them
to be lucky. For any information
apply to M. A. Dauphin, New Or
leans, La. We rejoice with our COED
friends and hope that they may
again hold the winning number

"A rate war between rival coal oil

The Ouita Coal Company is about
completing two new openings near the
Alister slope and will soon be working
their mines with an output Of 5000 tons
perday. 1t is said they have contracts for
delivery at New Orleans that will push
them even at that rate. 1t is also said
that this coal will soon drive both Ala

at New Orleans on account of the SUI
perior quality, of the coal for both
steam and CRATE purposes. There is no
