THE HARDEST LOT.

To look upon the face of a dead friend Is hard, but 'tis not more than we can beau If, haply, we can see peace written tfxre Peace after pain, and welcome so the end, Whate'er the past, whatever death may seldL Yea, and thet ,si=e a gracious smile may
 wear.
 If love till death was perfect, sweet and
 fair;
 But there is woe from which may God de
 fend: To look upon our friendship lying dead, While we live on, and eat, and drink, and
 sleep
 Mere bocies from which all the soul has
 fled And that dead thing year after year to keep Locked in cold silence in its dreamless bed There must be hell while there is such c
 deep.

The Dyspeptic's Ideal.

A medical man mentions that, like his father and paternal grandfather, he has al- ways had the power of voluntarily ejccting food or fluid from the stom- ach at any time. When troubled with acidity or nausea, the stomach is emp tied at will without the slightest difficulty, and may be washed out with several glasses If water. At college this faculty was used for gain, large doses of narcotlc poisons being swallowed for wagers, and afterwards inn meiiately expelled. An investigation is sug- gestcd to determine tho cause of this gift, or whnt voluntary muscles account for ih-Ar- kausdw TExvaaer.

CHAPTER V.
\ RUIN BY MOONLIGHT.

\ RUIN BY MOONLIGHT
 Bertha lay back indolently ill her favorite armchair, watching the deepening twilight from her parlor window. Her eyes were al- most closed, and Philip, affecting to be inter ested in Mir. Ellingsworths conversation, thought he might look at her as fondly as he chose without discovery and rebukc. He was s,re he was not noticed, but the girl vas quite enjoying his silent offering-so long as he did not guess she perceived it. If Q girl must have lover, Philip did very well. But her lover was no divinity to her; she saw all his faults as clearly as anybody; not with impatience, however; that was not her tenn perament For example, he was too short and his shoulders were too slight. She never forgot it for an instant. But then he always did what she said, and that was very con- venient, and yet she was half provoked with him for it. A man ought to comniand wO- mans love- not try to coax it from her. He thought quite too much of her for what she returned him; he ought to be stern and cold to her sometimes, and give her chance to be something besides an ungrateful recipient. But perhaps she would not like him at all in that character She suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked curiously at her lover; there is nothing so chilling as such a look as that, and Philip winced under it.
 "WeN, suppose you two are bursting with tender condolences" !" smiled MT. Ellingsworth, as he rose to his feet; 'I really won't stay minute longer" He moved toward the door, then he smiled and looked around he had thought of something very funny. ''Now Philip, my dear boy, you mustn't be too sure of her just because she seems so afectionate That is where young man makes his worst mistake. As long as there is another man in the world, he may have hope, that is, the other man."
 His daughter looked coolly after him. "Must you go'' Why we shall die of ennui. We shall have to take walk ourselves. Ex- cuse me, Philip, while get ready"
 Left alone, the young man ross and went to tho window and looked out at tho evening sky. There was little frown on his face. aWhat nq unpleasant way uf talking Bertha's Sgf1Er fstA ls w1a15d f1liu1I n l6a1e6 an uaIaC g8*s Wsya6t tdaau 615 ks y65th1g

Extracts from LOwndeSille Advertiser

Abbeville County is one of the head
quarters of Ben Tillmanism. The
county convention elected an out-and.
ut anti-Richardson delegation to the
State Convention, but the primary
elections nominated two tirst-class
lawyers for seats in the next House of
Representatives. The question thus
arises, which is more truly the voX
populi, the convention system or the
primary plan? Abbeville is all right
anyhow. She has credit for earnest
reformatory zeal and will have, in the
next House, the ablest delegation she
has sent to Columbia since 1885,
Ba,neccU People.
We would be glad to know of the
People from what source it derives its
information. We hope that Ben Till
man can command q better following
from his other headquarters than
from Abbeville, if not, he is badly
left. The delegates to the coming
State Convention are not all "Out-and-
out anti-Richardson delegation" The
delegates 20 uninstructed, and several
are pronounced Richardson men. The
People is correct i'll saying that we
will have in the next House the ablest
delegation we have had in Columbia
since 1876.

In the death of Mrs. Small we are furnish
ed with q reminder of the uncertainty oi life.
and the certainty of death After the W&i
she and her beloved husband, Major Andrew
Small, were at the head OF an Interesting
family, all of whom seemed blessed with good
health and bright hopes for the future. But
death soon began to claim one after anotler,
until the family is now so much reduced that
only Mrs. SasSard of Abbcrillc and Mrs. u. y.
Smith Of Walhalla, survive the death OF Lhclr
mother. Their plot iii the chnrch.yard is
nearly full.
Mrs. Small was remarkable woman in
many respects. Among other good qualities
she possessed great energy and business TACT.
During the war, while her husband and her
son were away fighting the battles of their re-
Gently adopted country, she and her children,
by the use of the needle, made sufficient
money to pay for the homestead which they
then occupied and which is now owned by
Mr.. Julius II. DuPre.
Mrs. Small was truly q good woman,

The first bale of new cotton was
sold in the city last Friday, oath inst.
1t was made by Capt. p. B. Allen, of
Savannah Township, and was sold to
the S. Bleckley Co. for Is cents. The
cotton was classed strict middling, and
the bale weighed 7S2 pounds. Capt.
Allen sold the first bale last year.
The bale this year was ginned Oh the
same day of the month as the bale of
last year was, but it was one day later
in getting to market. This looks as if
the crop is as early as last year. Capt.
Allen is one of Anderson county's
most progressive young farmers, and
he expects to harvest about $50 bales
of cotton this year.-Anderson mtelH-
gencer.

A water spout swept through Hot
Springs, Arkansas, on the night of Au-
gust 30, wrecking many buildings and
drowning five persons. The main
thoroughfare, Central Avenue, was an
angry river, whose rushing tide swept
everything movable on its bosom. Es-
timated damage is 100000.

Springs have reached Little Rock.
They report thirteen persons drowned,
and that the desolation is beyond de-

The Rains.

The rains set in last Wednesday morning
and since then much rain has fallen. In
some instances the streams have been high
The hardest rain fell some four or five miles
North from Abbeville. doing some damage to
the lands, and making two considera6ie
washouts on the railroad between Abbeville
and Hodges. The rain seems to have been
hardest from Mr.. f. Westfeld's farm to Mr.
Warren w. Keller's farm, near to where the
railroad sustained injury.
The crops on the low lands have generally
been overlooked, but we are inclined to think
that the farmers do not believe they have
been seriously injured.
The earth was being parched up to the
time Of the rain which came in good time
Cotton and other crops were being ruined by
the drouth, but the earth is perfectly wet
rain having fallen during every day or night
for @ week. We need sunshine now.
