Death of Mrs. Ella Red.

Modoc, S. c., April 2.-On
Monday morning at 6 80 o'clock
Death visited our town and claimed
for it's victim Mrs. Ella Red, wife
of Capt M. L. Red of Mccormick
and daughter of DR.. T, E. Jen-
nings, of this place.
Mrs. Red had been a great
sufferer for many monthG from
thai dread disease consumption,
but she bore it all with the greatest
patience and Christian fortitude
expressing herself at all times as
desiring to live and raise her four
little children, but if the reverse
was the will of God she was willing
to be at rest. This writer has
known her from her girlhood and
can testify to the noble christian
influence which she welded on all
around her. In the home with
husband aud children, at her
church, and at all times and places
she displayed the piety and de-
votion to the Masters cause which
characterized her whole life. She
was O. dutiful daughter, devoted
wife and a most tender affection
ate mother, always striving to
train up her children in the way
they should go. Truly she was a
"jewel of rare value, pearl of
great price q model of q woman
as chaste as the Temple Of Virtue"
Her home had been at McCor-
ick for several years, but short
time ago she expressed a desire to
be brought to the parental roof to
spend the few remaining days
left her, accordingly she was re-
moved home to die. She lived but
a few days afterwards, when she
was taken to that Home where
there is no more sorrow, sickness
nor death.
She was borne to the church by |
the following pail bearers: Messrs.
j. w. Bradley and L. N. Cham
berlain, of Mccormick, G. P.
Moore, J. w. Brooks and A. R.
Waites of Modoc. Her paster.,
Rev. G. w. Bussey, preached
the funeral from the words,
Blessed are the dead who die in the
Lord" His discourse was very
impressive and was attontively |
listened to by q large au dience of
her friends who, with the family,
were all the time bathed in tears.
After tho sermon her remains
were borne to the grave and laid
away to await the final resurrection
when all the redeemed shall meet
to part no more.
our heartfelt sympathies are
extended to the bereaved husband |
father, sisters, brothers and her
four little motherless children

syndicate had obtained a bond on the
Gold Coin group of Is patented claims
at Mereur, and as the report was not
officially denied it was the prevailing
impression in mining circles that such
was the case.
Yesterday, in speaking with the presi-
denE Of TIE company, Hon. 3. T. Lloyd.
on the subject. he said:
In one sense there is nothing in the
report, although cannot deny but that
negotiations have been a:.eTad iriaS f5i'
the property some time ago. At one
time the price was agreed upon, but
we c0uld not agree on terms. Since
tslen the Gold Coin company has been
organized and Incorporated, and we
have been steadily working the ground
and such progress has been mad,e in
this direction that now we feel per-
tectly satisfied that the property is the
making of a mine, and q valuable one
at that, and all our stockholders are
feeling we'll pleased with their invest
ment and are not inclined to part with
their holdings. For several weeks past
ether parties have been trying TO Sc
cure q controlling interest in the com
pany. and this is probably what caused
the circulation Of the report that east
ern parties had secured a bond on the
mine, but I am firmly of the opinion
that the mine will remain in our hands.
We know we have a good property and
believe that it will take but q short
time to prove the truth of the aSser-
tion''
