PROSPERITY LETTER.

mother Yesterday.
More snow, more icc-mo:c fruit and
vegetation killed.
Mr.. B. 0. Epting has completed the
grading of the road connecting the
Columbia and Greenviile Railroad |
with the Farmers Alliance Ware
house.
Mr.. james H. Wise of the firm of
Wise Bros, can now be found behind
the counter in Mr.. \. H. kohn's |
store, dealing out nice goods and pleas
ant smiles to his many old customers.
Rev. W. X. Sigh filled the pulpit in
Grace Church last Sunday morning.
Rev. Prof. \. }. Bowers will occupy
the same pulpit next Sunday morning.
The farmers are busy in every di-
rection making all necessary prepara-
tions prior to seeding another crop.
They are in much better condition to
make crop this year than they were
last year. Nearly every one of them
has asutticlency Of corn without buy
ing any, whereas last year nine tenths
had to buy, and many of them, all the
| corn they used. The short oat crop
will be some draw back.
The business agent Of the Farmers
| Alliance is instructed by resolution of
the board to visit Newberry each Sat
urday, now Richard don't forget to
take your cultivator with you.
Death reigns in all portions Of our
time, in all places, under all crcum-
stances. Go where you will and you
find it. Death is no respector of per
sons. 1t spares neither age, sex, or
position. The majestic road over which
monarchs pass, the way that the men
of letters tread, the path of the warrior,
the short and simple ways of the poor,
all terminate in one enormous house
which is appointed for all the living.
''It is appointed unto men once to die"
There is the end of this life. "And he
died"
Death is sad under all circumstances,
but it is peculiarly so when it appears
so suddenly unannounced. This was
the case last Sunday morning when it
was sadly whispered from ear to ear,
"Mr. Henry S. Boozer's wife is dead"
The swift and unerring messenger
came to the house of Capt. Henry S.
Boozer without warning, "like thief
at night" :" and at one fell stroke severed
the tie that bound a devoted wife to
her husband, and kind and loving
mother to her children. The cold icy
fingers of death had but simply touched
Mrs. Mary J. BooZer when it was an
nounced, "she is dead" How sad!
Truly Sin the midst of life we are in
DEATH"
The particulars of this sad death, as
we got them from Capt. Boozer him
self are about as follows: Capt. Boozer
had prepared to attend services at his
church. 1t not being quite time he got
his Quarterly and his Testament and
began to prepare the Sunday-school
lesson in order to be prepared to prop
erly instruct his class. Mrs. BooZer
asked her daughter if she knew
whether she Mrs. Boozer) had read
the last Lutheran Visitor. She received
a negative answer and proceeded as
Capt. Boozer thinks to get the paper in
question, which was on a table very
near to where Capt. Boozer was sitting
studying. Capt. Boozer says the next
thing that he knew of his wife she was
falling backwards with her hands
thrown out. Before he could reach her
she had fallen. the back of her head
striking the floor with a tremendous
crash. She never spoke. A physician
was at once summoned, in the mean
time Capt. Boozer and Miss Juliet did
all in their power to restore her. DR..
Julian soon came and did every thing
that medical skill could devise, but all
his efforts were futile.
She seemed to suffer untold agonies
for an hour and half, when her spirit
took its flight to God who gave it. The
true cause of Mrs. Boozer's fall will
never be known. Capt. Boozer says
he does not know whether she struck
the rocker Of his chair with her foot
and fell, or whether there was some
other cause. He felt no jar if her foot
did strike the rocker. DR.. Julian says
the fall caused confusion Of the brain,
which produced death. Mrs. BooZer
had been in bad health for some time,
being 4. victim to Bright's disease, as
also to some heart affection. BE these
things as they may, she is dead. Of
their three sons, none were at home.
Mr.. V. Y. Boozer is a student at New
berry College and reached home about
2p. III. Sunday. Mr.. Rufus D. Boozer
was in Lake City, and Mr.. J. Hayne
BooZer in Orlando, Fla. These were
telegraphed the sad intelligence. Mr..
Rufus ID. BooZer reached here on Tues
day at 1870, in time for the funeral
obseguics. Owing to the health of Mr..
J. Hayne Boozer and the distance, he
could not reach here in time, so he did
not make the attempt.
Yesterday afternoon CTuesday) at 3
p. m, the funeral sesvices were con-
Quoted at the old y. r. p. church, by
Rev. NJ. J. Epting, assisted by Revs. J.
G. Boyd and J. B. Traywick. The sell
vice wasan impressive one throughout.
A very large concourse of relatives and
. friends attended the last sad rites, there
F by manifesting the high esteem in
which the deceased was held by all
who knew her. The church could not
