BETHEL.

The funeral of Dr Edward R. Lyon was held in the Congregational church, Saturday at m. Rev Mir Hall of the Episcopal church of Danbury and Rev H. l.. Slack of the Congregational church, Bethel, took part in the service; l2 young men of the Knights of Honor fol- lowed the mourners into the church, each bearing floral emblem. 'sThe gates ajar' had white dove with wings spread ready to take it's departure, as did also the piece presented by the Sons of Veterans. It was the thought of pure young man going to his father. Each piece had it's meaning and was the gift of loving friends. Dr Lyons death was public calamity. Though the remaining doctors are not old men, yet one so young as he and with his experience was look ed upon as one to remain when the oth- CTS were gone. The record he has left will keep his memory green. The Knights of Honor turned out in body, but had no ceremony. Dr Lyon was member of Eureka lodge, F. & A. M., but, as his mother wished only the church service, they did not attend as lodge. The church was packed with sympathizing friends. Most of the business places were closed during the services.

OVER IN CHARLESTON.
Happenings in Savannah's Sister City
by the Sea.

The report published some time ago that
Judge Aldrich would retire from the circuit
bench is not correct. Judge Aldrlch not
only has no idea at present of resignlng, but
expects to serve out his term, which does
not expire until 1890.
James Gordon, a white man, living near
Rantowle's, was run over and killed on the
Charleston and Savannah railway Wednes-
day night His body was found on the
track by the section master at Rantowle's.
1t was cut completely IN twain, the upper
part Of the body being severed from the
lower.
The final transfer of the Barnwell rail
road, with all the property appertainlng TO
it, has been made to Col. Mike Brown, OF
Barnwell, now the sole owner of the road.
A ] the books and other requisite properties
were turned over TO Col Brown by the
former owners and the road is under new
management Recently Sunday train has
been put on the road and besides this I'M
provement Col Brown has constructed a
new telegraph line through the town of
Barnwell and has the telegraph office In his
place Of business.
Early last Sunday morning the platform
and depot at Pregnalps at the junction of
the South Carolina railway and the Eutaw-
vile railroad, was discovered to be on fire.
As quickly as possible all the persons in the
immediate vicinity of the depot gathered
around the blazing mass, and after almost
superhuman efforts succeeded in arresting
the flames 1t is thought that the depot
was set on fire by an incendiary, as no fire
was near the depot and no engine had passed
in about four hours. Tkere was very little
loss, however, and part Of the platform
and ticket office is still standing.

and will be useful both in summer and win

Calmly reviewing the scenes Of our ante
Christmas triumphs. reflections of various
kinds and degrees of interest stand up in our
mind in serried phalanx and will not down
at a mere bidding. Some of them take this
shape. Numbers of people have not yet
made their purchases. Some hadn't time
during the hurry and furry of Christmas
week, and Others, whose wisdom must not
go for naught, thought that perhaps after
Christmas prices might shrink a little.
Well, they have, we admit, weakened a lit
tie uLder stress of trade that is the least bit
quiet, and some very sober reflections urge
us to Sell, SELL, SELL and not have any
thing of winter" nature to lay in the
lap of spring" childof nature we
obey-in goes the blade a little deeper,
profits whitfield some thinner, but we con
sole ourselves with thoughts of the osborn
lamb, and disappearing stock. Again you
are still in season for Christmas motives a
present now, or any other day, will be Just
as welcome as on the 25th or 3lst of Deem
Der for that matter. Lots of nice Dress and
Business Suits on hand, charming OvercoatS,
tasty Smoking Jackets, and the bargains in
Broken Suits, Odd Coats, Vests or Panta-
looms, are startling Furnishings, Fancy
Neck wear and Hosiery in full supply. No!
you are not too late to walk under the Big
Golden Arm. SIMON MITCHELL,
