and
Whereas, we recognize that they
have obeyed the tattoo of their early
soidierly existence and that they have
crossed over the river to be awakened
only by the sounding revielle of that last
day, and
Whereas, their advance to join The
spiritual armies on the other side
warns US that we too must take the line
of march to unite with them; therefore,
be it resolved,
That in the death of Henry Boozer
and J. Harrison Mates, Company &C."
18th Regiment, South Carolina Vol
unteers, has lost two of it's members

Railroad Racket.

It is rumored that the Richmond
and Danvile railroad authorities will
in a short time run the train that is
now run from Prosperity to Anderson
through 20 Columbia. This would be
quite a convenience to the travelling
public, and very likely we could get a
mail service on it which would add
greatly to the nail service for New
berry.
Then there is also rumor that the
Laurens train between Laurens and
Columbia will be extended to Green
vile. The distance from Laurens to
Greenville is only 81 miles, and with
the track from here to Laurens put in
good condition, the distance 10 Green
Vile could be made in very nearly the
same time that it now takes to run TO
Laurens. We would be glad 20 have
the authorities to put into force these
two proposed improvements in our pas
senger service. 1t would give Us six
passenger trains daily between Colun-
bia and Greenville.

DEATHS,

Mr. J. Wesley Slieh died 1t his home
in this county on friday, september
25, 1891, in the SD year Of his age. He
was member Of Company &C." Third
South Carolina Regiment, and 20 more
faithful and gallant soldier bore arms
in the noble cause.
Mr.. John Blake Nazyck, the eldest
son of our honoreG townsman. Capt. y.
B. Mazyck, died Sunday, September
9th, 1891, in the 3Sth year Of his age
He had been in declining heath for
some time, and several weeks ago went
to Savannah, Ga, to take situation
offered him there in railroad employ.
But sudden spell OF illness forced
him to return home where, in little
more than a week, he breathed his last.
This is the first time that the sombre
shadow Of death has fallen upon the
hearthstone Of this family, and it has
the sipeere sympathy ofthe community
in its bereavement. The funeral obse-
Gui"s were conducted by Rev. Ellison
s. Gape,s with touching solemnity.
The singing of appropriate hymns at
the grave, in the stiffness Of the eve
ming, was sweetly impressive.
Mr.. Frederick Werber, ST., one of
our venerable and honorable citizens,
passed quietly away, Tuesday night, in
the I'D year Of his age. Mr.. Werber
was 4 native of LutZenburg, Holstein,
Germany. He came here about forty
years ago, and identified himself with
the interests of Newberry. He was
mau Of sterling integrity and cultivat-
ed tastes and reared a family of sons
and daughters to the retinements Of
life. His wife, who was Miss Bobo,
and all the children, save one daugh-
ter, Miriam, survive him. Mr.. Wer-
Der was actively engaged in planting
up to the time of his death. The fu-
neral services were impressively con-
Quoted at the house yesterday after
noon at o'clock, by Rev. DR.. Cozby,
and the remains conveyed to Rose
mont Cemetery where, in the presence
of relatives and friends, they were con-
signed to the peaceful bosom Of mother
earth.

Helena Htraldines.

Messrs. Willie Zobel and Jim Gail
lard are in Charleston. The former will
"clerk" and the latter 60 into the ma
rine service.
The exceptionally beautiful cotton
picking weather Of the past three weeks
was broken Sunday by heavy shower
of rain and Monday by perfect down
pour. The weather is again lovely and
the air bracing.
Miss Emma Scott, one of our bright
and Intelligent young ladies, will take
charge of the Helena school, Miss
Lillian Glenn having retired for sea-
son of rest after an acceptable service.
We bespeak for Miss Scott the hearty
cooperation and sympathy Of parents
and guardians without which there
can be no effective school work. We
would suggest NJ Desoerd1aduna as the
motto for this young teacher.
Seeing a very large and respectable
colored funeral last Tuesday, We made
enquiry and learned that it was the
body of Mrs J. +. Turner, who died in
New Jersey, and in dying requested
her husband to take her remains to her
former home in this village, where
upon he had her body enbalmed and
brought to her family. This young
girl grew up here and was known as
"the pretty Maria Chappell." She
often attracted the notice of our citizens
by her beauty, modesty and blameless
life. It was a notable colored funeral.
We are informed that two gentle
men came near meeting with serious
accident last Saturday night while at
tempting to board the Anderson train
for Columbia. In the darkness and in
their haste they fell over the sill Of the
switch. They were railroad m n.
Helena is now an important meeting
point for trains at night. Three or four
meet there every evening at candle
light, and ladies and children are some
times waiting in the darkness and in
the rain for some one of the trains. The
management of the road ought to treat
its lady patrons better than that. a
shelter of some sort and sufficient light
ought to be afforded.

formation it contained, except that the

resumed its schedule, is found in the

men Of the Lafayette troop, and that
Captain w. H. Hunt had been pro-
NOTED. In that year also w. a. Cline
began his "steam factory" and the

country cured bacon in hams. sheul

such meat ever comes to Newberry now.

negro boy named Anos." Spring came
early that year, for half the editorial
space is devoted to the fact that "winter
with icy mantle and frosty breath is
fleeing fast with rapid strides to the
chilling regions of the North" In
these later years be gets tripped up, aud

DEAR SIR-This is to certify that I
was a sufferer with place Oh my
underlip for fourteen years, and was
under treatment of different physicians,
but they done me no good. I had lost
hope of being cured by medical treat
ment. l then went to a doctor living
in Florida, who treated them by art.
After going to him it got well, appar-
emily, for a while, but returned as bad
as ever. I then concluded to try P. P.
P. (Pricllly Ash, Poke Root and Potas-

(pint size was cured. I also find it to
be good medicine to give good ap-
petite and to give proper digestion.
