A beautiful and artistic conception
was the appropriate testimonial of Hi
ram Lodge, No. GS, a. +. NJ, to the
memory of their late Past Worshipful
Master, Thomas f. Hill. The design
is pure white lambslin apron, the en-
blem of purit, upon which are printed
the memorial resolutions adopted by
the Lodge several weeks ago duly GER
titled to, together with the Masonic en-
blems. The apron is encasedin rich
blue velvet satin-lincd and tastily-cm-
brOldcred receptacle, the handiwolll of
Miss Louise Murphy The apron will
be presented on behalf OF the Lodge to
the widow of their honorcd brother rs
token Of their love and esteem for
him and his honorcd career.
Chief Dillingham; and his able force
of watchful officers are to be commend
cd upon their tactful handling of the
large Saturday evening crowds and the
crowds OF other busy days. 1t is NO
easy task to keep IN cnclrcled line OF
impatient cotton wagons in regular Or
der and at the same time keep them
from blocking the square and cross
ingS. yet this is quite effectively man
aged, and that without friction. We
note with pleasure Il marked improve
mcnt in the tendency to block side
walks, especially on Saturday eve
nings, by groups of interested takers,
who never see Il lady or other pedcs-
trian, who finds it more easy to step
out into the street than to elbow one
self through such motley crowds.
While there is a great improvement in
this respect, we incline to think there
is still room for reform.
"It's an i'll wind that blowSno good >
is an old saying cloquently illustrated
in the temporarily improved passenger
facilities generously accorded this
meek. humble and long suffering city
by its esteemed friend and bcnefactOr,
the Southern Railroad. The iirSt-claSs
car torn UP in the wreck at the freight
depot last week. having been sent in
for repairs. and acting upon the noble
impulses suggested by the President in
his Thanksgiving proclamation. the
road has decided 10 give the travelling
public inst a taste Of the lnXnry We
haven't had so long, and tnthat end has
put on rs Il substitute the Sccnnd-clasS
car from somewhere or somewhere

the sincere prayer OF Il grateful and
obliged constituency.
Mr.. Margaret Lucinda lays died at

Mrs. Hays was the widow OF the late
Baxter HAYS. and had been in feeble
health for Il long time. For Il year or
more size suffered with an incurable
disease i'll her left arm. and about ten
days preceding her death this arm was
ampntatcd above the elbow as IL last
resort for her relief. This operation
seemed TO benefit her, but ma few days
she suddenly grew worse, and she
gradually weakened away: The de-
ceased was daughter of the late Ar
ch;bald Armstrong, and was born and
raised in this County, where she spent
her life. In 1856 she married Rev. BaX-

Last Saturday night about 10 o'clock
the soul Of Mrs. Susan Adger Hamlin
passed from life into eternity ut her
home in the southern suburbs OF this
city. She was another victim OF that
er-fatal disease, consumption, and
her death had been expected at any
time for several weeks. 1t was only 4
few months ago that her devoted hus-
band passed away, and at that time she
was confined to her bed. She struggled
hard against her attliction, and every
thing that loving friends and relatives
and medical skill could do was resort
ed to, but the avenging hand OF death
could not be stayed. She was the
mother of one little daughter and five
sons. and her greatest ordeal was in be-
ing forced to leave them to struggle in
this life without the aid of Il mothers
counsel and affection. She was con-
scious almost to the last moment, and
her last prayer besecchcd the great
Shepherd to guide and protect her lit
tie ones. Mrs. llamlin was daughter
of the late DR.. A. L. Thompson and was
in the ilth year of her age. In her
girlhood she gave her heart to the Sa-
viour and united with the Presbyterian
Church. She possessed many noble
virtues of both mind and heart, and
made ii friend Of every acquaintance:
Besides her children, she leaves auaEcd
mother. two brothers and one sister to
cherish her memory. On Sunday al
tcrnoon, at I o'clock, tllc funeral srrvi-
ccs were conducted ut the home of the
dcccaScd by her pastor. Rev. j. y. H..
