You're ringing in with joyful chime.

Alas that was not so TO ALL
But joy and greif alike must come;
Into each life some rain must fall,
Oh, tolling, rolling, heavy bells
How solemn sound your deep toned

The wheel of time rolls swiftly on (;
another year lies buried with the past.
The New Year has dawned upon us.
IT'S always sad realization to know
we must bid adieu to a happy year, past
and gone, and then look into the future
with its hidden joys and sorrows. But
some of our correspondents suggest new
resolutions in regard to our HERALD;
so here we go. We have all had a Jolly,
happy time during the holidays, but the
time for play and fun is past, and now
we enter the sterner realities of life.

Charles q. Nichnlsnn.

AS the old year went out and the
New Year came in, so did the i'm
mortal spirit of Charles o. Nicholson
leave its tenement of clay and enter
upon the life eternal. The messen-
ger called to him so quietly, in the
small, still hours of the night, that
not even his rOommates-his brother
and nephew, Messrs. ALI Nicholson,
Sr. and Jr.-knew when the change
came.
He had been in feeble healt h for
some time, but was not confined to
his bed, and when he retired Thurs
day night, was feeling as well as
usual, but the morning found him
cold in death.
Deceased was in his 10th year.
He was the youngest child of the
late Chief Justice A. o. P. Nicholson.
He had never married, neither had
he ever joined any church. But
some three or four weeks ago, before
he was confined to his room, he
made profession of religion and
had announced to DR.. ID. G. Kelley
his purpose and desire to unite with
the Methodist Church, and had APP
pointed last Sunday to do so.
He was unobtrusive in manner,
quiet and unoffending, but man of
strong conviction, Intelligent and
unyielding in his principles, fair
and honorable in his dealings, well
liked and highly respected by all
who knew him.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted at the Methodist Church
Saturday morning at II o'clock by
DR.. ID. G. Kelley. and the remains
were inferred in Rose Hill cemetery.
The pail bearers were, Messrs. w. c.

and the remains were Inferred Mon

Mr.. Sam T, Brown,

After lingering illness of nine or
ten weeks, Mr.. Sam Il. Brown died
at his residence in the Frierson
neighbOrhood Thursday morning
January Z, 1897, at 3 o'clock, in the
6lst year of his age. The funeral
services will be conducted this
morning at II o'clock at Zion
Church by the Rev. s. p. Halves.
Interment in Zion church cemetery.
The deceased was born and raised
and lived all his life in this county,
and within few miles of where he
died. This people have had three
score years to study, to learn and to
know him. And now that he is gone
their unanimous verdict will be that
he leaves not spot upon his charac-
ter, not stain upon Ills name, not
word of reproach against the record
of his honorable life. He was ten
der hearted, hospitable, charitable
and kind man of means, of prOmi-
nence and usefulness; an active,
working member and deacon in his
church, kind husband and parent,
liberal prOvider for his household,
an ardent and true friend, good
citizen, a christian and an honest
man.
He leaves surviving him a wife
and three children; Mr.. Wallace
Brown, Mrs. w. V. Thompson and
DR.. II. B. Brown, all of whom were
with him and tenderly watched over
him during his last hours, and to
whom we extend our deepest sympa-
