IN MEMORIAM.
MRS. ABBOTT THOMAS,


NEE MISS MATTE GA LAUDEr HARDEE.
The following merited tribute is taken from
the Darien Gazette of August 80
On Wednesday evening last just as the twi-
light shadows were settling over the earth the
gates of Paradise swung open, for angels we're
waiting, as husband and friends watched with
bated breath, so gently did the soul Of
MATTE HARDEE THOMAS wing its way to the
fields above the stars, there to join kindred
immortals. This lovsble woman, so recently
come among Us, made many friends and held
them In one great loving thought Those who
knaw her best will always feel sweet emana-
tons from association with one whose soul was
so closely knit with God. She was one very
tender in her nature, with much of womanly
sympathy in one so young, and gathered bes-
sings as they passed Though separated from
her family and girhood friends she had in her
last hours here the untiring attention and care
OF friends and her devoted husband The hearts
of numerous acquaintance will go out to her
bereaved family in the loss of one of their
brightest and best. Mrs Thomas was the wife
of Mr.. Abbott Thomas, aud the daughter of
Maj and Mrs. Charles S. Hardee of Isle of
Hope, near Savannah. Her remains were car
ried there for interment on Thursday morning
II so beloved and mourned by those among
whom she had lived 30 short while, how much
moro in that home she had frightened with a
joyous childhood, and blessed with loving,
gentle and brave womanhood The writer,
who lays this little tribute upon the grave of
one of the brightest, most loyal and purest
women he has ever known, offers, with large
circle of friends, his heartfelt sympathy to her
bereaved family.

CONGRESS NEAR ITS END.
1T WILL ADJOURN BY OCTOBER
FIRST.

No Provision VIII be Made for the
Resurrection OF the Force Bill Other
Than the Informal Agreement AL
ready Entered Into-The Plans as to
Reciprocity.
WASHINGTON, Sept 5. Congress is to
adjourn by Oct l to meet the first
Monday in December without making any
further provision for the future resurrection
of the force bill than the indefinite under
standing among gentlemen with which
Senators Hoar and Spooner consoled them
selves in defeat, under which the force bill
is to get a new lease of life next session
The tariff bill is to be put through as quickly
as possible and then adjournment is TO
follow as quickly as may be- The only seri-
Gus obstacle in the way since the burial Of
the force bill was the reciprocity question.
TAKING TINE BY THE FoRELoCK.
That has been practically removed by an
informal agreement between Senators AL
drich and Hiscock, who will be the Senate
republican members Of the conference COM
mittee, and MeSsrs. Mckinley, Burrows,
Gear and the other ways and means repuo-
hcans. AL the senator's and representa-
tives being anxious to get away, they came

better save time by holding their
conference before the bill was really in con-
ference, so they got together in more ways
than one. None of them was an original
reciprocity man; all of them rejected the
reciprocity idea when Secretary Blaine first
suggested it, and for three months after
ward All of them want no more recipro-
city now than will satisfy the demand in
the west, particularly. which Secretary
Blaine's appeals to the people have created.
WHAT THEY WANT.
They want simply a reciprocity amend
ment that will be good enough It'll after
the election" SO they have agreed to take
the Aldrich amendment or something like
it, meanwhile expressing in various forms
their feeling that the idea is a sentimental
one and chimerical one of no practical
value. Senator Sherman said this in his
talk yesterday. Senator Edmunds said it
more pointedly to-day. In the House it will
be even more sharply said, but there is TO
be no general and sanguinary contest on the
floor, because that would widen the divls-
ions in the party and delay adjournment.

PUNTA GoRDA, FLA, Sept. a-Punts
Gorda people were very much surprised
last week to hear that the postmaster, Mr.
Meecham, had received an official order
changing the name of the postoffice from
Punta Gorda to Trabue This was brought
on as an act of the ne administration. II
was so uncalled for and unwarrented that
a petition was at once sent in, signed by
ninety five per cent Of the patrons of the
postofice, showing how they would b.
damaged by the change.
BUSINESS LOOKING UP.
Business in every line is looking up and
all the stores and business men are doing
well. This is brought about by the opening
of the fishing season and the increase in tie
phosphate business.
Savannah gets most of the Charlotte
harbor fish. The fishing firms this year
will be Blocksom & Lewis, A. K. Demere
and Arthur s. Sullivan
As soon as they are all under Roadway
their combined shipments will be at least
200 barrels, or %, 900 fish daily.
wATERsPoUTs.
Several unusually large and dangerous
waterspouts have been seen down the bay
of late. One crossed the bay about five
miles from town on the 23d. No boats
were 10 its direct track, but three boats were
capsized at distance and the sails blown,
out of three Others. Fortunately, no one
was drowned.
There is a great scarcity of labor; 100
men could now find emp oyment, and /, 900
more will be needed within a year to keep
up with the growth of the phosphate min
ing industry.
POLITICS WARMING.
Politics is getting heated and exciting,
and several fights have already occurred.
1t is strictly Call and anti Call, or, as some
style it, railroad commission and anti-rail-
road commission.
The names Of the delegates appointed in
the different precincts show that the Call
men are on top about two to one, and the
ants are strong enough to block the con-
vention at Arcadia on the 4th by filIbuster-
ing.
Isaac H. Trabue has lost his suits against
the town to dissolve the incorporation and
avoid payment of his taxes. The supreme
court sustains the appeal, orders the suit
dismissed and taxes paid.

TALLAHASSEE, FLA, Sept. 8. - The
farmers of this county are very much DIS
couraged and report that the cotton crop
housed this year will be smaller than ever
before. The boil worms are playing sad
havoc, few stray caterpillars are nipbling,
and a new enemy has now attacked the
plants-black ants. These little creatures
are thick around the roots and on the plants
in many fields, and have almost totally de-
stroyed the crop in manv of them. One
planter reported yesterday that his patch of
thirty acres, which two weeks ago was in
fine condition, would not yield more than
one bale to the entire thirty acres A storm
is also feared, aud if it comes the crop will
indeed be small.
