G. II. r.. was present. and was showing the
! Importance OF this line, and wished also that
we hold a full meeting as soon US practical,
and explain The route and advantages to ali
the people.
Due West is interested in railroads, and
would like TO have one, and Is willing to do
all In her power to secure q good one. She
has embarked in two railroad enterprises
and both proved futile, but not because o the
failure Of the citizens Of Due West to do their
duty. She then feels some little hesitation
about going into another scheme which may
| likewise prove failure. But understand us.
we want the railroad, and will meet them
half way.
We want the Press and Banner to keep this
raj lroad before the people, and 10 urge It's

This Is glorious weather we are now having.
The trees are all a-glow with their autumn
beauty as they Intern lngie with the peren-
NAL green pine. See the dark green of those
pines yonder bordered by those crimson and.
gold gums and sumaches. Artists can only
rival, never excel 1t.
We were shocked 10 hear on Saturday
morning OF the death Of Rev. ]. N. Young.
All the reports we have heard were that he
was continuing to improve. The doctor
thinks that he died Of a stroke Of paralysis.
He passed SO quietly away that no one knew
10 until his spirit had flown. His son Mr.. II.
NJ. Young was sitting up with him. At three
O'Clock on Saturday morning they were both
awake. but soop Mr.. Young dropped quietly
off to sleep, and Mr.. Henry Young seeing him
sleep so calmly went TO sleep on lounge just
by his side. Mr.. II. NJ. Young awoke at 5 a.
m. and found him dead.
NO one knows when the Lord called him.
He was taken quietly away In his sleep even
as we lift q sleeping babe from the cradle TO
Its mothers breast.
He was loved and respected by all who
knew him. His funeral took place on Sab
bath at 3 o'clock. An account OF his life will
be found In another column of this paper.
A good many Of the students went down to
Abbeville on Friday night to hear "Blind
Tom !" the negro pianist.
Quite crowd OF our Abbevllle friends were
present at the funeral of Rev. ]. N. Young
Among them the following NJ. l.. w. White,
