- The Cherokee form of marriage is,
perhaps, the simplest and mostexpressive
to be found among modern people. Man
and maiden, their courtship happily end
ed, simply join hands over running
stream, embeematic ofthe wish that their
future lives flow on in the Same channel,
and the thing is done. Among our other
Indian tribes the marriage ceremony is
equally sim pie and affective.

In MeInoriam.

Death has again invaded another hap
py home and grasped in its icy enc brace
the sweet spirit of Matte, daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. J. W. Eskew, aged IG years.
Death is sad under all circu instances,
but when it comes to one so young, so
useful in life, and with such bright pros
poets it is doubly sad. She was taken
sick on Tuesday night and ere the sun
sank to rest on Monday afternoon next
she was sleeping in the tomb.
Dear Matte is it so
That thou 80 soon from us hast gone
Oh, how we hate to give thee up,
But We must drink the bit er cup
OF grief and woe thy death shall bring,
Oh, how the thought In our bosom rings.
Three years ago she gave her heart to
her Saviour and since that time she has
been faithful member for Christ The
happy home circle we know is broken
but the bereaved family have the sym
pathy of all who know them, and "they
weep not as those who have no hope"
for they know their darling is now sweet
ly sleeping in the arms OF Jesus. They
can now only sec through glass darkly
but hereafter they will know why this
precious blossom was plucked from earth
and transplanted to bloom in heaven
None knew this dear girl but to love her,
for by her sweet disposition she won the
love of everyone. Her voice will be
missed from the choir in her church and
she will be missed as pupil in Sunday
School and as organist, for she was al
ways at her place of duty. When dying,
though writning in pain and gasping for
breath, she pointed one finger upward as
If to say to those weeping around her bed
side, "My home will be up yonder.'''
She was laid to rest in Prospect grave
yard at o'clock Monday afternoon
amidst host OF friends and relatives,
the funeral services being conducted by
Rev. III. B. FAINT, and it was with aching
hearts and stned sobs that they listened
as the organ sobbed forth its low, sad
requiem, "Swcet Heaven" her favorite
song, and one she was last heard to sing.
And now we can only say to the father,
mother, brothers and sister, live so that
on the morn of the resurrection you will
be gathered together as one happy family.
Thy gentle voice is hui he'd,
Thy warm true heart is still;
And on thy young and innocent b:ow
Is resting deaths cold chill.
Thy hands are claspe1 upon thy breast,
We have kissed thy lovely brow;
And in our aching hearts we know
We have no Matte now.

Walhalla Courier: "The many friends
of Capt. VIM. G. Smith, the old and pop.
ular conductor of the C. e. G r r, is
quite sick at his home in West Union.
We wish for him q speedy restoration to
his usual good health" The many friends
of Capt. Smith in Anderson will regret
to hear of his illness, and will join the
INTELL1GENcER in wishing him speedy
recovery. Not long since we were on
Capt. Smiths train, when New York

nearly every railroad in the United States,
and have never seen more painstaking,

Capt. Smith in all my travels. He is

is pleasure to ask him question for in

will be endorsed by every man or woman
who has ever travelled on Capt. Smiths
train. It is great pity that the railroads
do not have many more such conductors
as he.

Lueddeman & Co.,, opened the doors Tuesday morning, and the stock is now being sold out. Future developments alone can tell what will be done. The failure of this well-known firm is the most severe blo~ that iha business cir cles of the toyl nava received for years.

 Sam Anderson, who is well known to everybody in Tuscumbia, has succeeded in constructing an engine, boiler, pump and fittings that are as complete and work as smoothly as any built by the machine shops. The materials used were lard cans, stovepipe, babbitt metal, stove bolts and fishing canes. The en- zine is of the slide valve style. It is well proportioned, and while rough in outward appearance works almost as smoothly as a watch The knowledge which he derived from the study of me- chanics was the only model that Sam had in the construction of the engine. This piece of work well establishes MT. Andersons ability as an engineer and machinist The citizens of the town should examine the engine. The con- Structor would, no doubt take pleasure in explaining the construction of the ma chine to anyone who cares to look at it.

Is a dangerous symptom. It means a lack of vitality in the blood-a de- crease of the red corpuscles upon which tho strength and richness of the blood depends.
