So that day there was dole at Astolat."
TESSYsoN.
These simple lines the '~'artlcss tale
relate, Of the close Of a human exist
ence Of that evening Of life, which Will,
''Sallo verified gloom has stcul,hily
ctcpt upon one in our midst and cnvrl-
opcd her in its icy folds. The last sad
LABOR Of love has been performed.
There has been madc-that departure
in its gentle sense Of the loved upon
earth for a faircr region, with sighs of
deep regret for n requiem and the fra
GRANGE Of a beautiful, virtuous life be-
yond the turning of the tide ''far up the
shining Hood until will be found the
palace of the King While VIC grant
grief tears, the soothing harmony ;of n
christian life is waited towards us, and
''th: virtues Of q noble woman are mag
nified and shines more clearly after the
blessing has taken it, flight, and there is
left to sorrowing friends only ITO see
through Heavens gate the angel within
it."
Mrs. Sallic r. Wardlaw, tho beloved
wife of Maj. 4. Is. Wardlaw, died ON
Friday February 18th 1896, Mt s. r. III.
She was born ut Liberty Hill, Ker-
shaw Co.. $. G., in 1857, where her ear
'ly years were spent. On a visit to
friends at this place she met Mr.. WSrl-
law and they were married in 1858. To
intrudc into that sacred precinct and dis
turb the holiness of private sorrow
would be to rush in where angels fear to
tread" Suffice it to SAY TINT the wo-
manly traits Of this estinable lady were
everywhere apparent and won for her
the admiration. the respect and the love
Of all.
Her devotion to duty was the most
prominent trait in her character. This
was beautifully exhibited when, with 4
brave heart. she encountered the wintry
blasts Of Virginia during the war to be
with him whom she had chosen for better
or worse.
Fell disease laid it's hand heavily upon
her and for many weeks she was n
sufferer. yet her faith faltcrcd not. and
even when tho dread I'M came she
met it with christian resignation. \
vast concoursc of ]sorrowing friends and
relatives asscScmbled in the Presbyterian
Church to- pay a last tribute to her csti-
Unable character and sterling worth.
where the Rev. w. NJ. Grier preached n
beautiful funeral rmo Then the
procession took up its way to hong Cane
graveyard. where the last rites were
performed.

l.. E. Myers, who gave exhibitions of his wonderful feetness on foot at recent fair of the Stafford society, has recently returned from England laden with the spells of 8 campaign. During his absence he ran in 35 races, winning A first prizs, 5 seconds. and third. He easily won every race in which he started on even terms with his opponents, and was beaten only by men to whom he was conceding long starts in handicaps. He did not credit himself with any new records, which is not strange, as his previous performances have placed the figures at points from which further reduction is not imminent. But he plainly demonstrated his superior ity to all other athletes, living or dead, at his favorite distances and 8 dozen times or more-in fact, whenever favored with fine weather and good path-surpassed all performances ever made by Englishmen at quarter-mile and half-mile, placing on rec ord such an unparalleled series of exploits as quarter-miles in 49. Abs, Az. 2-5s., 491s., Az. 1-5s., and 48.4-5s. quarter-miles on grass, twice in 4O.2-5s SAP yards on grass, in Inn. 48.3-5s., and half-miles, on grass, in I'm. 57.4-5s., Inn. 574s., I'm. 57.- 2-5s., I'm. 57s., and I'm. 56as.
