The editor of q Western exchange
saws he believes in the Christian reli-
sion, he loves sacred music and has
the highest respect and admiration for
the true believer and consistent mem
Der, but when he hears man howl
who owes him three years subscrip-
ton split his lungs Singing $Jesus
paid it ALL" ETC., he feels like forget
ting himself for the time being and
going over with club and giving the
delinquent receipt in full.
Mrs, Sarah Presley died at Ridge
Spring, at the home of her sister, Mrs
Watson, on Sunday last. The.remains
were brought by Darlington on Mon
day on their way to Society Hill, Mrs
Pcessley's former home, where she
was buried by the side Of her husband.
Mr.. and Mrs. R. 3. Watson, Of Ridge
Spring, Col. Davis and his daugheer,
.diss liza, Of Charleston, and Mrs.
Zimmerman, who was Miss Watson,
accompanied the remains as far as Dar-'
lington, where they were Joined by
Miss Nela Davis. Mrs. PRESLEY was
Miss McIver, Of Society Hill, a daugh-
ter of Dr.. .McIver, who was formerly
resident of that place. Mrs. Richard
Furman, Mrs. Zimmerman Davis, Mrs
R. B. Watson were her sisters, and
Can't. John X. McIYer, Of the Sth S. G.
Reg't, was her brother. 1t is an old
snd honored name in the Pee Dee Sec
ton, and of the immediate family
there are none Of the name left.-Dar-
lingtonian.
Again we urge the Importance, yea,
necessity, of a new cemetery. The
space occupied by the present one is
small and has been filled in. 1t is very
unwise to bury right in the heart Of
the town, any way. A fifteen or twenty
acre field bought now and planted IN
pretty shade trees would make good
show in few years. Let 4 stock COM
pany own it. These companies pay
handsome dividends elsewhere, why
not Bamberg Herald.
And Edgefeld, us to her cemetery, Is
IN like condition. Some provision
should be made and made at once for
a new place of repose for our dead.
We like the Suggestion OF our con-
temporary to devote fifteen or TWEEN
ty acre field planted in Shade trees to
such purpose, and from half to a
mile from town would not be too far
Other towns have associations Of citi-
zens called cemetery associations to
see after such matters. Who will be
the first to move in this matter Of =
new cemetery for Edsefeld?
