the great man cut down iH health and
VigOr in the discharge of his official
duties; of the sorrow of the christian
woman whom he had left behind him,
and whose grief might soon perhaps
carry her to join him.
His whole address wass that of one
man expressing the voice of a great
many in a SOrrOWful appeal to the
lord to assist and strengthen US in our
sorrow.
= Rev: S. M. Provence, the pastor OF
the Baptist Church, then followed with
a, short address. He spoke Of the un-
certainty and fear in which the rulers
Of nations continually lived; assas-
sinatiOns in many countries, and Of our
three martyred Presidents-Lincoln,
Garfield, and Mckinley; of the aDhOr-

C0IumbIa's Election.

OF course, the defeat of the Reform
ticket in Columbia last Tuesday was
none Of our funeral, nevertheless we
must confess we were much in hopes
that the temperance people over there
would continue to hold the supremacy
in the municipal government. There
is no denying the fact that where there
are industrious, sober. temperance Off
cials in charge of town or city, it is
in safe hands. The Chronicle knows
very little concerning the character of
the men elected or of those defeated
and we are only able to judge the two
sets of men, by the platforms on which
they stood. But putting aside the fight
which has just been concluded, we
earnestly hope Columbia's new Mayor
and Board of Aldermen will give that
city clean administration, and do
everything in their power to build up
that place from a moral, industrial and
financial standpoint, for in advancing
the interest of Columbia, the entire
country will, of course, be greatly
benefited. Mt. Pleasant Chronicle.
