While the Observer is verging on topics
gruesome, he is reminded that Mrs. Free
love ii. Greene is dead. Mrs. Greene de-
parted this life on the 18th instant. She
had 81 years, four months and five days
OF age. She was the Oldest inhabitant OF
Cum berland Hill where she lived all her
life, believe.
The application OF the word "gruesome"
Is not, however, intended 10 apply TO the
death of the venerable old lady, but TO
some little stories which are laid at Mrs.
Greene's door. Mrs. Greene was a famous
subject OF good stories, and her quaint
sayings ought to be perpetuated In the
lore of Cumberland HILL The flying OF
angels of my Democratic friend, however,
reminds me OF some OF Mrs.
crenee's remarks, which may be
said to be truly gruesome,
and for the life of me can't recall al this
moment anything but these particular
anecdotes, although lots of Mrs. Greene's
contemporaries could fill page OF The
NEWS with good stories about the quaint
old lady.

1t appears that he late James Greene,
everywhere known on the Hill as Jim
Greene, husband OF Mrs. Freelove, was
not much of husband to be proud OF.
He was inclined TO indulge in Cooks
tavern cider and harder stuf-if there Is
any harder stuff or earth-and was sore
trial TO his worthy spouse.
Accordingly ii was with something G
like resignation that Freelove Greene re-
marked, soliloquizing aloud, as she con-
templated the remains OF her husband
being prepared for burial by the kindly
hands of neighbors:
"Well, Jim Greene, Pll know where you
are tonight, anyhow, and it's the first
night In a mighty long time that I've been
able to locate you for certain"

OUR PROSPERITY LETTER.
An Accident BefalIs Little Glrl-Other
Items.

PROSPERITY, S. c., Feb. 27.-The
snow, the snow. the beautiful snow
mostly sleet, has fallen on these coasts.
It came late, hut it is hereall the same,
and still every body is not happy and
serene. Some people would growl If
the millennium was to dawn upon US.
At no hour yesterday did the church
bell of any of our churches ring morn
ing evening, or night. We don't remem-
Der a similar occurrence.
Little Rebi, infant daughter OF Rev.
and Mrs. T. o. Keister, met with d
painful accident yesterday evening.
While playing at the sewing machine,
the right hand by some means got
caught between the large wheel and
some other part of The machine which
severed the third finger from the hand,
save very small piece of skin. The
finger has not yet been amputated. 1t
is hoped that it may be saved.
The guano men are doing lively
business again as usual.
The Columbia Cautata came off as
advertised and was complete success
in every respect. The performance
was good and the attendance large.
The receipts netted thirty-five dollars.
Good, "Can-tater" again.
Our farmers are much encouraged at
the prospect for small grain crop. l.
is reported as looking remarkably

SPARTANBuRG, Feb. 2S.-Rev. J.
Marion Boyd, Presiding Elder of this
district and a prominent member of the
South Carolina Conference, died yester-
day evening at 6 O'Clock at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Foster, near Rich Hill.
he went down Saturday to hold q
quarterly conference. Sunday be had
no service, but remained at the Foster
home. In the afternoon be told the
youag men that he felt that be ought
to 90 home, and if they would lend him
a saddle he would 60 horseback. They
went out to saddle the horse, but the
weather was so very cold and windy
that he concluded to remain all night.
After sitting by the fire short time
the Fosters went out to attend to their
feeding. Meantime Mr.. Boyd went out
to the lot about ten minutes, and on
nis return seemed very chilly. He sat
down in a rocking chair before the fire,
and while talking he dropped his head
back and ceased to breathe. Arrange
ments will be made to bury him here.
He leaves wife, three daughters and
two sons here. Some of his older chill
dren are married.
He will be much missed, for he was
q faithful, good man, and was cheer
full Christian. His death is great loss
to his family and the Conference
Special to The State.

The spring session Of the Whitmire

given to every branch of study. The
rates of tuition are low and those wh'
are interested in the education of theii
boys and girls would do well to con
suit the trustees or principal who will
be pleased to furnish any information.
Some Improvements on our streets
are needed badly now. In the first
place, the town was badly laid out.
Everything seems to be in the wrong
place and turned wrong. The frontage
of the storectneeds changing, and streets
aud sidewalks properly laid off. The
streets run everywhere and no street
anywhere. Our town council Is COM
posed of our best tiZ ans, men who have
push and public spirit about them, and
we are anxious to see them get to work
and improve the appearance of our
town. A little money expended in
changing the frontage of stores, improv-
ing streets and sidewalks and setting
our. shade trees would not only ado
very greatly to the appearance OF the
place, but would enhance the value
of the property. 1t is not too late yet
to put out shade trees and we hope our
citizens will not neglect it till another
season, but make a start at once. Moth
ing adds more to the beauty and COM
forr of home than some nice shade
trees, and the same applies to the town:
The way to make a town grow and
prosper is for everybody to feel that it
is his town--all work and pull together,
looking to the public good. When this
is done nothing short of prosperity will
follow. J.

A PLEASANT ENTERTAINMENT.
BY the Young Folks of the A. r. P. Church

The entertainment at the Armory
last Friday night, under the auspices
of the Young Peoples Association of
the Thompson street church, was per-
feet success. Notwithstanding the in
clement weather and other adverse
circumstances the attendance was all
that the hail could accommodate. The
first treat for the audience was the
Artists Revere. IL beautifully ar
ranged studio the artist reviewed his
finest portraits. By some skilful ar
rangement the young ladies in the
order in which their names occur on
the programme passed in review IN a
splendid frame before the artist and the
audience. The artist was at home IN
his part, and each one of the young
ladies a lovely and accurate personlh-
cation Of the character represented, aud
the whole scene an exact production of
splendid studio. At this stage Of the
proceedings it was announced that
there would be a slight variation IN the
order of exercises. MT. Mower read
the Nursery Rhyme and the "Old
Bachelor" who lived by himself ap-
peared in his apartment in character
istic disorder. AS he ate his lonely
meal, and the rats ran over the floor
and his ill-kept bed and among his
bread and cheese, even the small boy
was quiet in his intense interest and
sympathised with his purpose Ito go
to London and get him wife," The
Widow" was perfect in her part, and
each one of "her daughters" so charm
ing that the audience was amazed that
he did not take any of them that he
could get. When at last be made his
choice we were satisfied, however, since
be was. The Japanese Tea Party''
was magnificent. The persons taking
part had each studied carefully the
customs and the costumes Of that ma
ton, and if there had been native Jap
in the hall he would certainly have
thought that they were his own folks
The audience was so pleased that II
was reproduced. The beauty and edi'
fcation of that single scene was worth
ten times the admission fee.
Iu a few moments tables were ar
ranged aud bevy of pretty girls al
each of them ready to serve Norfolks
oysters, delicious cream, cake ana
candy, and they gave their customers
value received for their money-filline
the plates with oysters and heapine
the saucers with cream. It was moi
strange under these circumstances thai
these charming little merchants soor
sold the last morsel of their stock II
trade.
About - o'clock this chaste and ele
