OBITU Al

DIED, April 9th, 1892, at his residence
Mr.. SAMUEL GARDNER, ST., who was
born, Jan. 10th, 1909, and was married
on the 9Th of December, 1882, to Eliza
A. Butler, who died in October; 1888.
The deceased was one of our oldest
citizens, belonging to that generation
that will ever be remembered as hon
.oring their country and community
as true patriots and honest and sue
cessful business men. He was sue
cessful planter, and was surrounded
before the late war with the comforts
and luxuries that then crowned the
diligent farmer with sufficiency of
this worlds goods, placing him at ease
in regard to the future during his
natural life. The war stripped him Of
the fruits of his life's work, also of a
noble son who was sacrificed upon the
altar of his country. At an advanced
age he was compelled to face new sys-
TENS of business and begin almost.
anew the work Of providing for him
self and large family, yet he submit
ted quietly and uncomplainingly to
his destiny.
He was tender, loving husband and
father, ever looking to the comfort and
happiness of his wife and children,
and he will be remembered by his
children for his many acts and words
of affection. AS neighbor and friend
he was always willing to help the
needy, comfort the sorrowing, and
sympathize with all in their joys and
troubles.
He served the people as County Com
missioner for many years before the
war with justice to his position and
credit to himself.
Early in life he became member Of
the Baptist Church of Christ, and was
sustained in the many trials of life by
humble faith in God. Though great
sufferer for months he left all in the
hands of the Redeemer, and passed
quietly away from earth and loved and
loving ones here to join his loved wife
and children who had preceded him to
the better land. He left four sons, four
daughters, and large number Of
grandchildren and great-grandchil-
dren, with many friends, to mourn his
death. J. P. M.

WHY NOT?

Why should the Augusta or Char
lesion merchant or business men
undergo the fatigue and expense OF
a journey to the mountains in
search of cool breezes, pure water,
and salubrious cline, when all
these luxuries can be found so
much nearer home? Try Eedge-
field one summer and you will
spend all your future summers
here. The town is on the edge of
the Piedmont Escarpment and
rests upon agranite foundation,
immmense boulders here and there
lifting their jagged heads.
Breezes, balmy with the odors of
pines and cedars, blow cool and
soft though the wales and over the
hills of our classic old town, ice
cold water from wells forty to sixty
feet deep equals that of the noun
tain spring; the air is absolutely
free from malaria, and the views
from many of our hills rival those
of the Blue Ridge.
The song of the festive mosquito
is never heard, but in its stead the
dulcet, rythmic notes of the whip
poor-will, the mocklng-bird, and
Bob White will lull you to reposs.
Delightfully."- picturesque drives
wind in and out among our
suburbs with delicious surprises of
hill and dale and pebbly brook
ahd grassy meadow.
Our people will welcome you.
Come ands summer in Edgefeldl
Ye dwellers amidst fiat and
featureless landscapes, come form
a weary land and rest meath the
shadows of our giant hills!

CLEVELAND OR WHO?

= 1t Will be CleVelrnu OF sollepoey
else. Cleveland against the field.
we will have s. large majority Of
the delegates who will assemble at
Chicago on the Oath Of June, but
not two-thirds of them, and as a
consequence not enough to elect
him on the first ballot. Will his
star wane from this first ballot, or
will it grow brighter? That is the
question. The indications are that
it will wane, and that after the
first ballot Cleveland's friends,
many of them, will go to other can
didatea. At any rate such consum-
nation should be deyoutly wished.
The nomination of Cleveland
would simply mean Republican
president for four years longer.
Honest, capable, we grant him to
be, but in these days even candi-
date for president must wage an
aggressive war. The demand for
financial relief among the masses
is such and SO great, that the De1"-
ocratic nominee for president must
be a man who can move things
who will move things. Cleveland
isn't that man. An efficient officer
in command of the ship of State
when skies are blue and the waves
are smooth, he fails when the bill
lows roll on q tempestuous sea.
But, if Cleveland won't do who
will? Hill? Well, hardly. Cleve-
land is weak in New York; can't
carry his own State, while on the
other hand Hill is weak generally.
Moreover, tits time the national
Democracy should cease to get its
nominee from New York. We
have taken our nominee from New
York ever since the war, and we
have lost every time but one, and
that one time we won by reason of
Republican detection, a card which
will never be trumps again. If we
nominate Hill the Democracy will
carry New York, but we wou't
carry enough other States to make
Democratic triumph.
The outlook isn't very bright
anyway for electing a Democratic
president, no matter whom we
nominate. Certainly, with either
Hill OF Cleveland we'll be in the
soup for four years to come.
How would a Western man do?
Republicans get their nominees
from the West and they elect them,
Hadn't we better break up that
solid West, five can? Howwould
Boies, the present Governor st Ct
In 1888 Garfield carried the State
Of Iowa for the Republican party
by a majority of eighty thousand
votes; but Linden saw another
sight. Since that time Boies has
been nominated for Governor three
times in SUGGESTIONS and three
times has he carried the Democrat
ic banner to victory by majcrities
ranging from 1000 to 5000. Any
flies on that sort of man?
The friends of Boies claim that
if nominated he will carry seven
North Western States, including
North and South Dakota, that have
hitherto been solidly Republican.

Precedent seems to be against the likeli-
hood IT an extra session OF the next Con-
gress. and according to a Washington cor
respondent it is not likely that the proposed
move Will rnateralize. When President
Arthur became President in 1881 it was
held that he must and would call Cougres
together to take action upon certain issues
which were impending and which were asl-
tatin: the country. principally the pro-
posed revision OF tho tariff. The same had
been said when Gen. Garfield became Presi-
dent. There were international questions.
1t was held, which demanded immed-
late action. Neither Gariel1 nor Arthur
hal the least idea Of calling an extra sc'-
sion. When Mr.. Cleveland became Presi-
dent In 1855 the Democratic ana inderend-
ent press throughout the country demand
ed and anticipa el an extra session TO- the
revision Of the tariff. The circumstances
wore the same as the p cscn', but Mr.
. Cleveland. in private conversations, laugh
cl at the suggestion OF an extra session OF
Congress. Every reader will recall how
when General Harrison lccame President

Pet Names.

The Popular authorizations of pc
names in earlier times were in, on, ct,
kin, cock and others. Emma was short
ened to EN-. and for loves sake it be-
came Emmott or Emmett Matilda was
first Til, then Tillot. Bartholomew was
Bart, then little Bart, or Bartlett. The
popularity of these + ct names is seen in
the great number OF them which event
ually became family names, says the
Boston Home Journal.
The TiliotsOns, the Emmetts and the
Bartletts are numerous in England and
America, although few uream that
their names We're originally pet and not
surnames. FcfOre the use of family
names it was often necessary to use the
d!minutive forms from the fact that the
same name was not infrequently given
to two or three children OF the same
family. The original surname Robinson
is the pet name OF Robin or little Robert
AS Germans OF to-day add chen 10
childrt ms names as a term of endear-
ment, making Anna Annchen, Elizabeth
~Lischen, so our Inglish ancestry used
the equivalent kin. Watkin was Little
Walter, Simkin Little Simeon, Perkin
Little Peter. Examinations in kin and
cock were in use among the lower or
ders-that is, among the Anslo-SaNons
while the diminutivcs in, on AMI c1
were more arstocratic. and used by
families of Norman blood.
