intimations of the same kind, and the
situation seemed to warrant investiga-
tion. Inquiry was made on Thursday
of leading citizen of the Guthries'
Vile neighborhood. He made state
ment of the situation about as follows
"From my own actual knowledge, |
cannot give you much information
but I do not think that the situation
here is quite as bad as has been repre-
se6ted. 1t is true that considerable
amount of whisky comes here by ex-
press-sometimes three or four jugs on
a single train, and sometimes none at
all. But there is no express office at
McConnellsville, and consequently a
Considerable section of territory is sup
piled from here. 1t is probable that as
much as two-thirds of the whisky that
comes here is for people further down
the road. There is no doubt some
blind tiger business in this immediate
vicinity, and although it is probably
bad enough, am inclined to the opin-
ion that rumor has made it a great
daal worse than it really is."
Death of Mrs. Hobbs.
Mrs. S. L. Hobbs, nee Miss Mabel
Gwin, died at her home in Yorkville,
last Wednesday evening at about 8
O'Clock, from the effects of maternal
disorder, aggravated by an, attack OF
grip. Mrs. Hobbs was not yet 10 years
of age. She was only married on Oc-
tober 26, last, and with youth, beauty,
a devoted husband, and surrounded by
all the comforts that 60 to make life
bright and hopeful, her death, under
the circumstances, is one of inexpressi-
bic sadness. The funeral took place
on Thursday afternoon from the Bap-
tist church, of which she was men,
ber. The services were conducted by
Rev. E. S. Reaves, and the remains
were followed to the grave by large
concourse of friends of the deceased
and of her sorely bereaved husband.
Mrs. Hobbs was daughter of Mr.. o.
J. Gwin, of Olive.
The "Breezy Time" Company.
Fitz & Webster's "Breezy Time"
company was not greeted by very
large audience last Tuesday night. 1t
was because of the rain and because of
certain ill considered reports that were
put in circulation previous to the ar
rival of the company. Only few
ladies were present. But all the
members of the company were thor
oughgoing professionals and the enter
tainment, which was of the vaudeville
order, was one of the best that has
been seen in Yorkville for q good
many seasons. The whole atmosphere
was as thoroughly clean and whole
some as anybody could wish for. One
of the good looking actresses demon
strated very clearly that she knew
how to enforce the respect that was
duF to- her sex. Upon her appearance,
d,srespectful persons in the audience,
emboldened by the irresponsible ru-
mors previously in circulation, and re-
gardless of the few Yorkville ladies
present, commenced demonstration
that threatened to become disorderly.
The actress paused in her work and
directed a long sustained scorching
look in the direction of the offenders.
They subsidized, and during the balance
of the evening the people on the stage
had the floor. The "Breezy Time"
people have a good show, and fortu-
nately for them, the places where their
prospective audience can be affected
by irresponsible street talk are the ex-
ception.

D1ED-In Yorkville, S. c., August 7th,
1898, in the 10th year of her age, Mrs.
ROSE w. g. LINDSAY, widow Of the
late DR.. J. F. Lindsay.
The subject of this notice was native
of Boston, Mass, and lineal descendant,
in the seventh generation, from General
John Winslow and Mary Chiffon, who
came to America with the Pilgram Faith
ers in the Mayflower, the latter being the
first woman to land on Plymouth Rock.
Coming to Yorkville in lS43 as MEM
ber of the faculty Of Yorkville Female
College, then in its incipiency, fifty five
years of her long life were spent in this
her adopted home, and the high estlma-
ton in which she was held by those who
were associated with her during all these
wears is the strongest testimony to her
genuine worth and wearing qualities.
In lS45 she was united in marriage to DR..
J. F. Lindsay who was then just entering
upon the practice of medicine, and for
more than half century she was the
companion and helpmeet OF that good
physician" -,
Possessed of vigorous intellect and
a literary taste, she always found time TO
cultivate her mind, and spent many q
quiet and profitable hour in reading, and
this habit continued to the very close OF
life.
By nature somewhat reserved, undem-
onstrative, and retiring in disposition, her
natural dignity and gravity of demeanor
were sometimes mistaken for coldness and
indifference; but those who knew her best
realized the fact that hers was warm
and loving nature, capable at once of feel
ing profoundly, and entering into the sor-
rows of others, and also capable OF per-
ceiving and enjoying most keenly the
humorous side Of life.
She was baptised at the Old South
Church Congregational, at Boston, Mass,
and attended that church regularly until
she came south to live. She Joined the
PRESBYTERIAN church about the close of the
war. Like Justus of old, she was "one
that worshipped God, whose house joined
hard to the synagogue" and for more
than q half century she was regular and
devoted attendant upon the services OF the
sanctuary.
When called to part with ''the husband
of her youth" she bore the loss with
Christian fortitude and resignation; but
the severance of those tender ties seemed
to be the signal for the failure of her own
vigorous health, and in two months and
seventeen days her mortal remains were
taken up by those who carried. her hus-
band to burial, and were laid to rest by
his side, there to rest until the resurrec-
ton morn. "They were lovely and pleas
ant in their lives, and in their death they
were not divided" T. R. e.

About 10 miles from the mouth u
