On Sunday morning last death again
entered our midst and pluckcd one of
the most promising among the bright,
lovely children of our city, Master
Ned Sloan, the youngest son of Mr..
and Mrs. L. p. Sloan. Ned was only
nine years old, but he had made for
himself Il reputation. He was the en-
bodiment of innocence. purity and
brightness. His pure soul beaming
through his eyes was Il rebukc 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 Il
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 mnlarial fever, which he
suffered only IL short time. Tho fun
cral services were conducted by Rev.
j. n. II. Summerell ut the home at four
O'Clock Monday afternoon, after which
the remains we're inferred at Silver
Brook Cemetery.
The Opera House will commence the
season Of 1808-09 by giving our people
one of the best repertoire companies on
the road, and the management is to be
congratulated OH having secured the
Pcruchi- Beldeni Co. for opening at
traction, and we trust the people who
love good shows will show their apprc-
citation by their presence. Tho Peru
Chi -Beldeni Co., who are farliliar to
our people, need no introduction from
Ills, 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 equull-
ed. The company is much stronger
this season, having increased their
Of actors and actresses to O.
people, including the "Wallacc sis
tcrs," who the press of Georgia says
are great. This company will be here
n week, commencing Sept. 10Th, and
should be greeted by large and apprc-
ciative audiences each night.
Mrs. Elizabeth Keys, wife. of J.
Crawford Keys, of Blackvillc, s. c.,
died III Walhalln last Saturday morn
ing at 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 IL little daughter, were OH their
usual summer visit to the father antl
having left Blackville
two weeks ago. For some days before
being confined to her bed, Mrs. Keys
had complained of headache and loss
of appetite, but twas thought that the
change of air would soon correct the
seemingly slight indispositiOn. On the
25th of last month, however, her ILL
ness developed into malarial fever, and
she gradually sank until death came as
above stated. The husband, little
dreaming of the serious illness of tho
wife, was summoned and reached her
bedside only IL few days before she lost
consciousness. The remains were in
tered iii the Waifaiia 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 bcreave-
ment.
