Wyoming has contributed three
times its quota Of troops in the pres
ent war, leading every other State in
that respect. Woman suffrage pre-
walls out there, and it is meanly
insinuated that the men Of the COM
monwealth would rather endure the
horrors Of war than stay at home
under the circumstances.

The spirit Of little John Wilton, the Q
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. q. NJ.
Reeves, took its flight to God, who gave
it. on the 4th August, 1898. The little
one had been sick only day or two
with membraneous Group and his death
was quite shock to every one. He was
very bright child and every one loved
him. But God just gave him to them for
short while. He was budded on earth
to bloom in heaven. No more will his
prattling voice be heard, and no more
going to meet papa. There are 30 many
little toys, dresses and shoes that will
make the parents hearts ache. May God
pour out his spirit upon them and soothe
their aching hearts, and may they ever
look upward to God and say. "Not my
will but Thine be DONE" His precious
dust was carried to Lebanon and buried
in the family graveyard to await the
resurrection morn, the funeral services
being conducted by Rev. J. N. b. Sum-
merell. Thesympathy Of the community
go out to the bereaved family.

In MemOriam.

Mrs. o. P. Cole, wife of Mr.. o. P. Cole,
departed this life at her home In Fork
Township, Anderson County, 8. c., July
End, 1898, in the seventy-third year. On
Sunday following, after appropriate fun
eral services, conducted by Rev. ]. +.
Singleton, in the presence of a large
number Of sorrowing relatives and
friends, her body was laid to rest in the
Double Springs Cemetery there to rest
until the resurrection morning. She was
the mother of ten loving children who
mourn her death. She was kind and
loving wife, q noble mother and devot-
ed Christian, having been member OF
the Baptist Church for half century.
She was the daughter of Maj. Larkin
Brown, and lived all her life in few
miles of her fathers old home, where she
was born, near Fair Play, S. G. She was
married to Mr.. o. P. Cole in 1913. She
has gone to those mansions of peaceful
rest, which the Saviour has prepared for
those who trust in Him. And, now. if
her children and relatives trust in the
Saviour as they should, then when this
life, with all its SORROWS and disappoint
ments, is over, they will be able to meet
her at the gate Of heaven, there to spend
eternity with her. Now her children
need not expect her to come back to
them, but If they spend this life as they
should, then when death comes they can
go to her. a FRIEND.

Delicious Hash.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 When making hash from cold meat it is always preferable to make the sauce or gravy first. then add the minced meat. and allow it to simmer only for few minutes before serving. When made of fresh meat the hash will be found to be much richer and more tender if cooked in the oven slowly. Hash may be served with two or three delicately poached eggs laid upon it, and some slender strips of toasted bread around the edge, and a little finely chopped parsely over all

Mr. L. c. Gerling is the Republican
nominee for Legislature, and if elect
ed, will represent Berkeley county S
interests with no less benefit to all
his constituents than any we know
who can be named. He has not the
gift of speech that makes the orator,
but in committee or executive session
that keen, hard common sense will
place him to excellent advantage
among our legislators. If represent
ing the people isn't business, then
we don't want Gerling; but if the peo-
pie want a man who can study out
the effects of measures introduced and
can best subserve those represented
by him, knowing what his people
want done, and doing the proper thing
at the proper time, then that man is
Gerling.

The bouudless Golden West is a
world within itself. Here is the
most cosmopolitan people on earth,
and, ii such thing be possible, the
most patriotic. Here are people from
every nation, tribe and tongue. They
apparently imbibe the spirit of liber'
ty the moment they set foot on these
beautiful shores. Again, it may be
that the love of liberty, which is dor
mant under other conditions here first
expresses itself, expands as it were,
and bursts from its tenement. These
thoughts presented themselves while
witnessing the parade at San Jose.

Had an anti-expansionist been here
he would have arrived at the conclu-
sion he would as we'll endeavor to
cause water to flow hill as to curb
the spirit of enterprise among these
people. Just now they are bent upon
possessing the islands of the Pacific
and they will not rest until their OBJ
iect is accomplished. They realize
that once there were those who OPP
posed the annexation of California
and that those who would now haul
down the flag at Manila-surrender
all that Dewey won-are just as short
sighted as those who insisted that
California was too far away. Indeed,
in point of time, fifty years ago, Cali
fornia was much more difficult to
reach than is Manila today.
