fragrant flowers and green foliage,
and the farmers Of the community are
putting in seed for a new harvest.

ARTESIAN WELLS.
What the Word Mems-Kow They are
Made-Newberry Is well Pleased
Waterworks In Laurens.

rH.-NH
An Artesian Well is one sunk
into the earth until the internal
pressure is sufficient to force the
water out in q continuous stream
like q fountain. The name is de-
rived from the town of Artois in
France where the first well was
bored. Trading with us is like
digging a well-you don't have to
do it but once. After that you will
understand why tits that hundreds
of people give us the endorsement
of their steady patronage. There
are many reasons for this fact, the
principal one is that our prices are
right. We don't claim that we can
save you money 90 everything.
Some things have an established
value the world over. e1othing is
more certain than that no one house
IA always sell the best goods at
prices lower than every n else.
But there are many things on
which we are unquestionably the
lowest and if you will take our en-
tire line, up one side and down the
other, averaging our prices, it al
ways boils down to that little net
difference of 5, 10, or perhaps 10
cents on the dollar which you save
from our economical way of doing
business. A small store but a large
capacity for serving you acceptably.
In April and May take Sarsaparilla.
We have all the best kinds and
none of the other kinds. We have
it at fifty cents, seventy-five cents,
ninety cents, or one dollar. We
sell our own make and that made
by others. Take your choice but
remember ga little Sarsaparilla
flavor, a smell of sarsaparilla and
a sarsaparilla liable on the bottle,
don't make the kind that cures,
though it may make the kind that
sells" Ito those who don't know any
better.) The ingredients of our
Sarsaparilla are open to the knowl-
edge of all. No secret nostrum
about it. There's lots of health,
energy and appetite bottled up in
it. Come in and talk the matter
over, Glad to see you whether
you want to buy or only look. The
laurens drug co.,-near the post
office.

In Memory of Little Ruth.

On the morning of March 16, 1896, lit
tie RUTH, the only child of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. II. Hudgens, fell asleep to awake in
the arms of Jesus.
Baby RUTH was a source of great hap
piness to her parents, and was loved by
all who knew her.
Though our little blossom was plucked
IN babyhood, and though the mortal
form of our loved one lies silent in the
tomb, yet we have the sweet assurance
that she is with the Redeemed in Heav-
en-, a perfect type of Christ.
Gould we remove the misty veil and
see our little darling happy in Imman-
uel's love, INT hear her sing His praises,
would we wish her back in this sinful
world to suffer as was her earthly lot.
Oh! what a blessed tie to bind us
closer to Heaven, where baby stands at
the Celestial gate reckoning with her
tiny hands to father and mother tt come
up there where all is love, joy and happi-
ness.
God grant, when it is thy will that we
too shall put down this mortality and be
shrouded in grave clothes, that her lit
tie angelic form may come and pilot us
across the River to be forever at rest,
where parting m no more.
offender Shepherd, thou hast stilled
Now thy little lambs brief weeping.
All! how peaceful, pale and mild
In it's narrow bed tits sleeping,
And no sigh of anguish sore
Heaves that little bosom more"
Gin this world OF care and pain,
Lord thou wouldst no longer leave it;
To the sunny, heavenly plain
Thou dost now with Joy receive it;
Clothed in robes of spotless white,
Now it dwells with thee in light"

Where it lives may soon be living,
And the lovely pastures see
That its heavenly food are given;

Though thou take what most we love-

When life's sun goes down and the
aged servants of God are gathered to
rest, we think of three score years and
ten OF toll as we say 'fthey are better
OFT up yonder."
When one in life's prime Is called
away leaving hopes half fulfilled and
tasks unfinished, from out our doubts
we murmur sadly "PERHAPS it was
best"
But when a bright young life is cut
OFF In its morning human reason lis ST.
lent-unable to explain. We can
not SEE how 1t is best but where sight
ends faith begins and prolongs our
view into the great beyond. Some
day We'll understand.
Could earthly eyes look through the
gates so lately ajar to admit the spirit
of her whom we speak of as "gone''
would we not see in the angels chorus
q new harp and a singer who on earth
lived out, Miss Havergal's prayer,
Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord to Thee,
Take my hands, and let them move
AT the impulse of Thy Love,
Take my voice and let me sing
Always, only, for my King.
We will miss her cheerful presence,
but the light that has gone out of m
earthly home surely shines with it's
beauty in her Masters crown.
Bereaved ones! look up through your
tears.

More than a hundred years ago, be,

David's was built.
Under a luxuriance Of giant oaks and
elms just now bursting into leaf, in the
midst OF its "God's Acre" where rest
the officers of Kings army and bold
woodland riders who followed Marion
and the Horrys, together with many a
noble South Carolina man and matron
of late days and surrounded by tangled
masses of vine and shrubbery, it still
nestles.

Cheraw, all OF them personal friends
of the bride and groom. 1t was not, in
the parlance of the day what would
be described as ga dress wedding" in

sent out, the gathering was simply a
testimonial by the towns people of the
sincere. regard in. which the parties
were held by them.
Entering the church the ushers, Mr..
Edward McIver, the BRIDES brother,
Mr.. Thomas Harrell, Mr.. l.. III. CASTOR
and Mr. Henry Harrell, first took posi-
tions at the altar. Following them, to
the music of the wedding march,
played by Mrs. S. H. Godfrey, the
brides aunt, came the bride on the
arm of her .Ither, Chief Justice Henry
McIver, and attended by her niece,
Miss Nell Hardin. They were met at
the altar by Judge Watts on the arm
of his cousin, w. w. Ball, when the
marriage rite Of the Episcopal service,
uniting them, was administered by the
rector, Rev. Alfred Baker.
at half past five Judge and Mrs.
Watts took the train for a visit of u
fortnight to Northern cities and before
returning to Cheraw they will visit the
Judges old home and relatives in

Judge Watts has become thoroughly
domesticated in Cheraw and is aona-

His wife is q lady of many attractions
