Death of DR.. A. E. Wingard.

The Rev. DR.. A. E Wipgard, the
beloved pastor of st. Paul's Luth-
eran church, died at his home in
Columbia Monday morning. He had
been in declining health for some
time and during the session of Sy-
nod in Columbia some weeks ago,
the news of bis desperate illness was
received with great sorrow and spe-
cial prayer was sent up to the throne
of grace for his recovery. But God
has seen Fl in his unerring wisdom
to remove him from his loved en-
pIoy of mercy and charity ON earth
to dwell with him in glory. DR..
Wlngard was native OF this county
and many of his close relations still
reside hereabouts, who have the sym
pathy of the community in their af-
fiction.
He was profound scholar, an
ernest Christian, pure man and a
devoted citizen. He adorned every
path of life wherein he walked and
Church and State alike feel the loss
of 80 valuable a man.

The subject, Teaching Primary
Geography" was then discussed by
Prof. R. E. Shealy, of Summit, in a
very instructive and interesting man

great mistake is made by placing a
text book on geography in the hands
of young pupils and argued that the
first steps should be taught by

Gertrude Oxaer, of Lleesville, pre-
seuted this subject to the association
in a very pleasing and thoughtful
way, which showed much prepara-
ton and credit for this excellent
teacher. In the general discussion
of this subject, nearly all teachers
present engaged, and many eZcellelt t
thoughts were presented. All agreed
that Friday afternoons" should be
made the most pleasing and attrac
tive to the pupils and Teachers.
While the Executive Committee
was preparing the programme for
next meeting, the teachers and Supt.
K,zar, discussed the "Iutroduction
Of the new adoption of text books. "
No defi ute conclusion or plan was
reached, but all agreed that it will
take some time to effect this change.
It is certainly hardship upon teach

P. NJ, Your Attention Please.

There is some confusion concein-
ing the failure Of the country post
masters in accepting registry matter
for transmission through the mail.
Postmasters should collect, in addi-
ton to the s cents for registration,
the full postage. For instance
should the postage be 8 cents on an
article offered for registration the
postmaster should collect 16 cents
before he receives the package. He
must not take ii cents and send the
package through, for if he does the
2 cents due is collected at the office
of destination and the receiving
postmaster is reported to the depart
ment at Washington. We make this
notice because there is q heavy
registry mail coming here to officials
who have to pay the amount due out
of their own pockets So post
masters should pay particular atten-
tion to this matter.

As Lexington boys are always on

Two Lexingtonians Pass Away.

The grim reaper death has been
abroad in our county during the past
week and gathered into the garner
tie souls of two of our prominent
citizens.
MIR. Isaiah Haltiwanger, a well
known citizen of the county, died at
his home in Lower Fork last Wednes-
day afternoon at the age Of about
IS years: He had been in failing
health for sometime, and during the
latter part of the summer had spent
several weeks at one of the springs
in the upper part of the State in the
hope that'he would be benefited, but
he returned to bis home but littleim
proved and from that time until bis
death be was a great sufferer. Mr..
Haltiwanger was q leading Alliance
man, being the Secretary of the Lex:
ington County Alliance in its most
prosperous days and resigned to &C
cept the ofice of Clerk of Curt to
fill the unexpired term of Clerk ASS
mann. At one time he was large
dealer in lumber and prominent
merchant but was forced to retire
from business on account of i'll
health. He was gallant Confeder-
ate soldier and sealed his devotion
to his State by receiving wound in
the leg from the effects of which he
never fully recovered. Tender hands
gently and reverentially laid his NOR
tai remains away to rest in the Gem
etery of St. Andrews church, on
Friday morning after services by the
pastor, Rev. II. j. Matthias. Besides
his wife he leaves eight daughters
and two sons and large circle OF REL
atives and friends to sorrow over his
departure.
Mr.. W. NJ. Lown, one of Lex'pg-
tons most promising young business
men, and son OF Mr.. Joseph Lown,
now sleeps the sleep that knows no
waking, having died at the residence
of his father near this place last Sat-
urday. Just as be had reached the
threshold of young manhood, when
life lay stretched before him like
beautiful field filed with bright
promises of useful and successful
life, a fatal malady laid its whitening
hands upon him and like flower
nipped by frost, he sickened and faded.
Step by step the young man bravely
bsttled for life's sweetest blessing
health, but without avail. He placed
himself under the cara of a we'll
known specialist of Asheville and
remained there some time under his
treatment, but medical skill and low
ing hearts could not arrest the pro-
gress of the disease and it was ap-
parent that the end was near, and it
was decided to bring him home
that he might die in the land OF bis
fathers and in the home of his child
hood. A noble young'life has gone
out on earth to live again in the far
away home of the soul. He was
greatly beloved by all who knew him
and his death has left void in their
hearts which will be hard to fill.
Willie Lown has gone to receive bis
reward, but there lives in the mem
ory of many the influence OF his
pure young life as stimulus to fol-
low in his footsteps toward nobler,
purer and a higher life. He was
inferred in the family burying ground
last Sunday in the presence OF a
large concourse of sorrowing relatives
and friends. His funeral services
were conducted by the Rev. MIR.
Bearden of Columbia.
