the slightest shock. Lamp shades III
the dining room were broken and the
track of the current through the house
is plainly visible, but beyond this, the
wrecked chimney and the lamp shades,
the damage is slight.
The Patrick Military Institute will
open it's scholastic year on the 18th in
slant, and the indications are that the
number of pupils this year will proba-
bly, be nearly double the number last
year. This is one of the best schools
in the State. Col. Patrickisa graduate
of the Citadel at Charleston and a born
educator. Capt. Patrick, his son, was
educated for Il teacher from his infan-
CIV, and the others of the faculty have
been selected with the view to sustain
ing the high reputation this school has
made. Hundreds of young men have
gone out from this institute into the
various vocations of life, and are sus-
tanning with credit to themselves and
to their alma mater, not only their
learning, but the high principles OF
integrity instilled into them while
students.
On Sunday morning last death again
entered our midst and plucked one OF
the most promising among the bright,
lovely children Of our city, Master
Ned Sloan, the youngest son Of Mr..
and Mrs. E. p. Sloan. Ned was only
nine years old, but he had made for
himself reputation. He was the en-
bodiment of innocence, purity and
brightness. His pure soul beaming
through his eyes was a rebuke to sin,
and men said of him that he was too
good for this life, with all OF its con-
Eliminating influences. His death is a
severe blow, particularly to the mother
who is quite i'll, but God took him and
God knoweth best. His death was the
result of malarial fever, which he
suffered only short time. The fun
eral services were conducted by Rev.
J. N. H. Summerell at the home at four
o'clock Monday afternoon, after which
the remains were inferred at Silver
Brook Cemetery.
The Opera House will commence the
season of 1S9S-99 by giving our people
one of the bestrepertoire companies on
the road, and the management is to be
congratulated on having secured the
Peruchi- -Beldeni Co. for opening at
traction, and we trust the people who
love good shows will show their appre-
ciation by their presence. The Peru
chi-Beldeni Co., who are familiar to
OH people, need no introduction from
lis, for they were here last season, and
well do we remember how the theatre
goers were pleased with the clever
comedians, and especially the dancing
of the Carleton sisters" which has
never been excelledand seldom equall-
ed. The company is much stronger
this season, having increased their
number of actors and actresses to %
people, including the wallace Sis
ters," who the press Of Georgia says
are great. This company will be here
a week, commencing Sept. 10Th, and
should be greeted by large and appre-
ciative audiences each night.
Mrs. Elizabeth Keys, wife. OF }.
Crawford Keys, of Blackville, S. c.,
died in Walhalla last Saturday morn
ing at 5 o'clock. Mrs. Keys was about
40 years old and the eldest daughter OF
Colonel r. A. Thompson, of Walhalla,
and she and her children, three boys
and little daughter, were on their
usual summer visit to the father and
grandfather, having left Blackvile
two weeks ago. For some days before
being confined to her bed, Mrs. Keys
had complained of headache and loss
of appetite, but itwas thought that the
change of air would soon correct the
seemingly slight indisposition. On the
25th of last month, however, her III
ness developed into malarial fever and
she gradually sank until death came as
above stated. The husband, little
dreaming of the serious illness OF the
wife, was summoned and reached her
bedside only Il few days before she lost
consciousness. The remains were in
tered in the Walhalla Cemetery beside
the grave of the eldest child, little
Helen. This is IL sad death. None OF
the children are grown and the young
est is only 3-years-old. The deepest
sympathies of the many relatives and
friends in Anderson go out to the
family in this, their greatest bereave-
ment.
