OBITUARY.
LITTLE ROBBIE POLLOCK,

Daughter of A. H. and M. E. Pollock,
of Blacksburg, S. c., died on the 18th OF
December, 1895, after painful illness OF
nearly two weeks, of membraneous Group,
aged years months and Is days.
1t is with feelings of peculiar sadness
that her physician writes this notice, and
a sense Of personal bereavement that he
notes the absence of this bright, sweet
face from our midst. Even at such ten
der age, she showed watchful regard for
the comfort and happiness Of others, and
when dying, she displayed much sympa-
thy for her devoted mother and others,
death.
When I stood by her bed dside, when she
was dying, and as watched her sweet
and affectionate ways even when under
the most intense suffering, l felt that hers
was a soul of too fine fibre, and nature
too sensitive and pure to be left to battle
with the hard things Of this life, and that
Heaven was her home.
While you may feel that it is hard to
have your loved ones taken from you, YET
"There is no flock, however watched and
tended,
But one dead lamb is there;
There is no flreside however defended;
But has one vacant chair.
"There Is no death; what seems so Is transi'
ton;
This life of mortal breath
Is but O suburb of the life celestial,
Whose portal we call death.
ain that great cloister's stiffness and seclu
sion,
BY guardian angels led,
Safe from temptation. safe from sin. pollu-
tion,
She lives, whom we call dead"

the same time, there is reason for believ-
ing that such need not necessarily be the
case. A careful inquiry may develop that
Great Britain has better right to the dis
puted territory than has Venezuela, and in
this event the commission will be COM
PEELED to so report.
If overenthused by what the president
has had to say, the Venezuelans should
aggravate Great Britain, there is possi-
bility that hostilities may break out at
any time, and there is also possibility
that the United States may become in
volved. During a period of excitement
like the present, no development should
be accepted as a surprise. However, in
the ordinary course Of events, no danger
of war need be apprehended before next
summer. The commission will 60 on
with its work and consume several
months. After it makes its report, there
maybe some more diplomacy, and then
will come either an amicable settlement
or war. In the meantime, sensible peo-
pie will continue to give their attention
to the ordinary duties of life, and not
allow themselves to become unduly ex-
cited over the situation.

Sperial 9utites.
Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an intlamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you have
a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars fol
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

: Admiral Meade said in an inter

Admiral Meade said in an interview
few days ago that the only war in
which we are likely to engage, is with
Great Britain, and that the first shot
fired will sound the knell of the British
empire. According to the admirals
figures, the American navy won q OF
the 80 odd fights in the war of 1872,
and could do better now. The United
States has so modern fighting ships,
large and small, and in these times
battle-ships can be bought ready made.
Three hundred torpedo boats could be
completed within six months. As for
our coast cities, it must be remembered
that during the Civil war feet of iron
clads was held at bay by the compar-
atively inferior defenses at Charleston.
The admiral agrees with General Long
street that in case Of war with Eng
land, some of the fighting will be done
in the British channel.

WE DON'T SAY 1T,
Because it is the Custom.

WE return thanks to our friends and
w patrons for the liberal patronage
bestowed on our establishment during the
year now rapidly drawing to close, we
do not return thanks because we know
our competitors will do the same thing,
but because we are really thankful, and
we are thankful because we have reason
to be. During the past year our business
has been equal in volume to our anticipa-
tions and our business relations with the
purchasing public have, been uniformly
mess done we will say that we believe it
has been equal, all things considered, to
that of any firm in this section. We do
not attribute this to the fact that we have
more friends than others, but because the
people have learned that when they see
claim in our advertisements they know
sits So" They know when we say any
thing we offer is of first quality that is ex-
actly what to expect.

door, he heard noise as if dog or a
man had passed out. He gave the matter
no special attention at the time; but the
next morning it developed that two cash
drawers, both of which had previously
been emptied Of their contents, had been
broken open. Mr.. Carroll, the clerk,
remembered that a Negro boy named
Jim Reid was i'm the store at closing time,
and was not certain whether the fellow
had gotten himself locked up or not.
Reid was sent for and told plausible
story of his whereabouts on the proceed
ing night. The Negroes by whom he
sought to prove all alibi, however, failed
to corroborate him as to time, and as the
best way out Of the difficulty, he decided
to bolt. This was the cause of the race.
After his capture he was taken to Jail /;
but next morning, on promise to leave
town and not to return again, Mr.. Riddle
set him at liberty. Reid came to York
Vile from Camden. i&aa
After Seventeen Years.
Isom Buchanan, colored, returned to
Yorkville, on Christmas day, after an
absence of II years. Isom was once well
known in this county as political heeler.
He had loud mouth, lots OF influence
among the Negroes, and though he never
held any Office, he was much sought
after by those who were in need of votes.
On the night of December 81, 1876, the
store of Messrs. Latimer & Hemphill was
broken into and robbed Of goods to the
amount of about $500. An attempt at
burning was also made. Some of the
goods were found in the possession of a
Negro named. Alb Jackson, who was
forthwith arrested. On preliminary
hearing, Jackson implicated Buchanan
and several others. At the trial, however,
the proof against Buchanan was very
unsatisfactory. The jury rendered ver-
dict of guilty. Messrs. Latimer q
Hemphill were afraid that mistake had
been made and requested Judge Mackey,
who was presiding, to suspend sentence
pending the result Of further investiga-
tions. For some reason Mackey refused
to entertain the request. 1t is thought by
some that his reasons were political.
Anyhow, Buchanan was sentenced to the
penitentiary for seven years, the judge
justifying his action with the statement
that whether Buchanan was guilty or not,
he ought to be punished for being found
in had company. Jackson was sent up
for 20 years but escaped during the first
year afterward, and has never been heard
of since. Isom served out his term, and
located in another part of the State until,
overcome by a desire>to revisit The scene
of his former stamping ground, he has
returned to Yorkville.

YORKVILLE, s. G..
FRIDAY. DECEMBER 27, 1895.

The senate consumed part of Tues
day in the consideration of Senator Hills
bill for the repeal of the statute which
prohibits ex- Confederate officers who had
previously been commissioned as officers
in the United States army or navy, from
holding military commissions under the
present government of the United States.
The discussion brought out a good deal OF
buncombe; but in view of the fact that
there is a possibility that some Of these
officers are going to be needed, and if they
are needed at all, they are going to be
needed badly, the proposition met with
no serious opposition. The statute was
repealed by the senate, and it isvery likely
that the house will follow suit.

MJDNIGHT FIRE.

A 4-room dwelling located on Jefferson
street and occupied by Mr.. j. F. Hoffman
and family, was destroyed by fire yester-
day morning between IL and ! O'Clock,
and with it all of Mr.. Hotfman's house
hold effects including furniture and bed
ding, an organ, sewing machine, and
other articles to the value Of perhaps $500.
The fire was first discovered by Mr..
Hoffman, who was awakened out OF
his sleep by the sitting smoke and
roaring flames. He found the whole
back portion of the house in blaze, and
only had time in which to get his wife
and child out of danger and give the alarm.
A change or two of clothing was saved ;
but that was all.
The fire department answered the alarm
promptly; but reached the scene too late
to be of practical service. Mr.. Hoffman
does not think that it could have accom-
plished great deal even it it had been on
hand at the time he was aroused from bis
sleep. The fire had already made too
much headway.
| Mr.. Hoffman had no insurance, what
ever, and the loss falls upon him quite
heavily. He is a poor man, and practi-
tically all that he had was in the build
ing. Recognizing this fact and also that
he is eminently worthy of all the help
that he is likely to get, kind hearted
friends on yesterday circulated among the
citizens of the town a subscription paper
and raised a neat little sum, almost suf-
ficient to supply the immediate demands
of his family, which, however, will be
the worthy object of still further assistance.
Just how the fire originated is unknown.
Mr.. Hoffman thinks that inasmuch
as there had been no fire in the
cookroom since the previous day at Il
O'Clock, it must have been case Of "rats
and matches" The building was the
property of Mr.. j. A. Tate, and was in
sured for$300.
