The Bowersville correspondent Of the
Hartwell Sun requests the INTELL1aENcER
to copy the following: Miss Dora, daugh-
ter Of James L. Saylors, died Sunday
morning the 18th inst. She was just bud
ding into young womanhood when the
grim destroyer claimed her and took her
away from doting parents and loving broth
ers and sisters. Il really seems as If this
is one Of the instances In which God moves
in mysterious way His wonders to per.
form. This is the third time that death
has entered the home of this good man In
the short space OF II months, two of his
sons having died last year; one In May and
one in November. Mr.. Saylors moved
from South Carolina to this County In the
fall of 1898. He is hard working, upright
man, and is ilonored and beloved In the
community in which he lives. he has the
heartfelt sympathy of the people Of Bowers
Vile and surrounding community In his
sore affliction. The writer sincerely hopes
that the affections which seem so severe
may be the means Of working ont far
more exceeding and eternal weight OF
glory for the bereaved family in the world
beyond. May they be submissive to the
WIN of Him who chasteneth whom He
loveth. And may they take comfort IN the
thought that the loved ones that have
passed over the river are stationed as sen.
tinels at the beautiful gates. there to wait
and watch the coming of the entire family
as they come up from this world of sin,
sorrow and death, one by one to make the
golden city of the new Jerusalem their
everlasting abiding place."
It rarely happens that the community is

Church, and after her marriage to Dr..
Johnstone, in December, 1881, she trans
ferred her mem bership to the Presbyterian
Church. She was most jealous and
faithful Christian, and took very active
part in the benevolent work Of the church
She possessed a most winning, charming
end cultivated personality, with bright,
cheerful social disposition, and made
friend of every acquaintance, who will
long cherish her memory. On Monday
after noon the funeral services were held In
the Presbyterian Church, which was
crowded to its utmost seating capacity by
the many friends of the deceased and her
loved ones. The services were conducted
by the pastor, Rev. Mr.. Summerel, assist
