Eden.

The plowman's new-made furrow; the
delicate welcome face of the daisy anG
the violet; the plowboy's constant
"gee, haw', which echoes from almost
every field: and the sturdy push of GU
farmers as they begin in the year 1894
to sow and to ~plant-these are perhaps
the most important things about Eden
1t gives us pleasure to mention the
marriage of Mr.. "Bud" Roper to Miss

their pathway.
Our teacher desires to mention as
worthy Of special praise some of his
classes. His class in Latin is making
fine progress, and he thinks his class
in the dictionary can not be spoiled
down by any class in the county. His
classes in arithmetic, algebra and
word-book are al1o thorough. And
he hopes by constant drilling in dicta-
ton and other exercises to bring them
to writing q neat and correct hand.
Some Of his pupils have made a speci-
atty of fractions and would be glad if
they could find some real difficult
problems.

OH Spring.

We have tho word of Alfred Tenny-
son for it that in the spring the young
mans fancies lightly turn to thoughts
OF love. 1t is singular that the great
laureate omitted to mention the fact
that 1t is in the spring that q conside-
rablc portion Of the human race turn
to taking Hoods Sarsaparilla. Proba-
bly, nothing but the difficulty Of finding
O good rhyme for that invaluable rene
the old-time domestic remedies are en-
orally discarded in favor of the stand
ard blood purifier, Hoods Sarsapariua,
which has attained the greatest pop
ularity all over the country as the ia
vorite Spring Medicine. 1t purifes
tho blood and gives nerve, mental,
bodily and digestive strength.

Death OF DIR. Ferdinand Jacobs.

DR Ferdinand Jacobs died at the
home OF his daughter, Mrs. Henry
Sperry, at Nashville, Tenn, on Satur-
day. To many friends throughout the
State this intelligence will bring sor-
ROY but perhaps to none more than to
the women to whom he was the model
Of IL Christian and Il gentleman, when
he was President of the Laurensville
Female College, thirty years ago when
the institution was in the zenith of it's
popularity. Dr.. Jacobs was u Presby-
terian minister and at the head of the
college here first in sixty-one and then
again in seventy-eight. After a resi-
dence in the low country for several
years, he came back to Laurcns and
had charge Of the institution for a
short period.
He leaves a wife, three daughters
and two sons. His daughters are Mrs.
Henry Sperry, Mrs. Wren, and Miss
Bessie Jacobs. His sons are Dr.. w.
p. Jacobs, President of the Thornwell
Orphanage and Rev. Ripley Jacobs,
who is the pastor of a church in Texas.
To his family in their distress great
sympathy goes out from the hearts of
the Laurens people.

Cross Hill Notes.

Business called us to the county seat
a few days since and as it had been
some time since we were there, we
were pleased to see that the old place
Is rising phoenix like from it's ashes
and seems to be improved by the
scourge. We observed new residences
on various streets and some of them
exceedingly beautiful, and on the pub
lie square the very elegant new build
ings of Simmons Bros and j. r. Minter
are hard to surpass anywhere in the
State. The stir and hustle on the
square all show that Laurens is not
dead but on the contrary is alive and
hustling, but we arc sorry that her
business men can't come together and
build O cotton factory. A good factory
would be of benefit to the whole county.
Laurcns county must have u factory
n If the G.. III. don't make haste and
build one Cross Hill will get a move
on itself and have Il factory.
We were pleased to see j.. Willie
Jones in Our town q few days ago. This
is his old home and he has hosts of
friends here.
F. p: MCGOWAN, Esq, has been in
town the past week visiting relatives
and friends. Frank had two of his
children with him and all enjoyed their
visit.
Mr.. Noah Griffin of Ninety-Six, has
moved to our town and opened a black
smith shop. He is a fine workman and
we are glad to have him with us.
DR.. E. r. Wencke, of Augusta, Ca.
has located in our place. The DR.. is a
practitioner of note and will be quite
an addition to our number of medical
men.
Spring seems to be on us. The peach
and Leconte pears are in bloom, the
birds are whistling in the trees and
the merry sound of the ploughman's
whistle is heard in the land.
The scufile for Office seems to have
commenced in the State and the woods,
we suppose, will o o be full of candi-
dates.
If we might be allowed to express
the wish, we would say that we wish
there was an office for every one that
wants a place, but we fear that the re-
suit will be that many will be disap-
pointed in their earnest and laudablc
desire to serve the people.

In Memoriam,

This tribute is to the of Miss
LEE CURRY, who died February oath
1894.
Of all bereavements there is none
which excites 30 tender and m%ournful
an interest as the death of a young lady
to pass away when the heart is fresh,
while hope brightens every vista in the
pathway of life.
The subject of this sketch was a young
lady OF rare beauty, and it certainly
seemed hard that she should, 80 early i IN
life, fall Il victim to that ever TO be
dreaded and most fatal disease, con-
sumption.
Her amiable disposition won for her
many friends. The chief beauty of her
character was seen and felt most in the
home circle, OF which she was the Joy
and pride. She was always ready to
share in the counsels of father and
mother, and participate in the joys and
sorrows of her loving sisters.
Her influence as q companion in that
household was deeply felt to the last
moment of her life, and will be felt for q
long time by the loved ones left behind.
1t was hard for her at first to give up
life, but She finally submitted to her fate.
God often permits the fear of death
hen it is intended that we should live,
and takes away that fear when we know
that death Is mean. Though the valley
be dark, if He walk with us there, i'm
whose right hand are the morning stars,
and IN whose eyes is the radiance of
that love that led to the cross and the
grave, we shall not fear that darkness.
During the last weeks of her illness
she spoke OF her death calmly, manifest
ing no fear, but cliuging to that beautiful
conception Of faith, that wonderful sym
Dol OF Christian hope, which cheers and
consoles the dying "Yea though l walk
through the valley of the shadow of
death, will fear no evil, for hot art
with me-"
1t Is not necessary to dwell upon the
feelings OF the deeply afflicted family
Death has called away the most loved
OF that cherished family circle, and thew
feel that another very tender tie has
been loosened from earth and trans
planted in heaven. May they say with
the poet
we NOMENCLATURE mourns-but not
as those
Who have no hope"
When grief eXacts it's last tribute, the
cloud which now hangs so heavily over
the loved ones, will reveal the silver
inning, they will feel then that God
knew what was best.
Farewell we meet no more
On this side of heaven;
The parting scene is DER,
The last sad look is given.
Farewell soon We shall meet
In heaven above,
hnd there, in union sweet,
Sing of q Saviour's love,
a FRIEND.

Negro Logic.
L.. B.. BOYD

A robbery had been committed in O
Virginia town. The finger of suspicion
pointed to q negro servant, and he was
arraigned before the local justice, who
happened to be the negroes old master, to
whom he was still intensely loyal.
He made no defense or denial az the
judge laid the evidence point by point
against him, and sentence was about to
be pronounced when suddenly the real
culprit was discovered.
"Why didn't you say you didn't do it,
George" asked the justice.
"Why," said the faithful old servant,
"you's a homes man, judge, an if you
say I is the man den 1 is the man, but
you see I amt the man."-Exchange.
