Death of Mrs. Caroline C. Wells.

Mrs. Caroline Colzy Wells, died at
the residence of Mr.. Bradley Wilson,
Bethune, Kersbaw County, on Wednes-
day morning, 18th inst, in her 65th
year, and was laid to sleep in the
picturesque cemetery at Mt. Zion
Church, here, on Thursday afternoon (;
the obsequies being attended by a
large concourse of relatives, friends
and acquaintances.
Mrs. Wells was the widow of DR..
Joseph D. Wells and daughter of
Col. Stephen LaCoste. She was the
last survivor of a family comprising
seven daughters and three sons. She
was woman of much intelligence
and individuality Of character. Left
a widow many years since with four
helpless childen, and at time when
our country was mere wreck, she
nevertheless 50 managed to steer her
bark as to eventually, land herself and
her three surviving sons on firm
ground. These sons are Mr.. Kirven
E. Wells, successful farmer of this
place, and Messrs. VIM. Wells, Of
Atlanta, Ga,. and Woodward Wells, Of
I0OIupAlS, 4Snu, DOGu GAO 4cCtSt u1Sd-
ly respected and successful railroad
men.
One peculiarly pathetic circumstance
connected with Mrs. Wells death has
been told the writer. Her home was
with her eldest son, Kirven, of this
place, and, though her health had
been long feeble, she chose to visit
among her numerous relatives while
the house was being enlarged and
remodelled. Among other improve
ments there had been a choice room
neatly and comfortably fitted up and
dedicated to the especial use of
Mother This room was ready for
her occupation when the wires flashed
the tidings of her illness and brought
the youngest son from Tennessee Her
life hung in the balance for days; out
a powerful will that had often before
enabled her to thwart the grim
monster" again came to her aid and
she rallied and announced her inten-
tion to attempt the return home.
Everything has been arranged for her
comfort on the trip and she was in
the act of making her toilet for the
start when the inexorable and final
summons, came and she was brought
"home,'' but only to that "Forted
residence 'gainst the tooth of time and
razure of oblivion. y J. M. R.

The trains come in on entirely
different tracks now at the depot and
one has to be on the look out for
them. The tracks near the passenger
depot have been abandoned for the use
of through trains altogether.
The Chiquola Club, of Darlington,
will give an entertainment in the Opera
House this evening. The en-
tertainment consists of instrumental
and vocal music and lecture on South
Carolina history by Col. Jno. J. Oar
gan, the manager of the club. The
club has given entertainments in sew
eral of the towns of the Pee Dee sec
tion and has been very highly spoken
of. The proposed plan of Col. Dargan
is to awaken an interest in the history
OF our State. Popular prices will pre-
vail.
There will probably be large crowd
in town on Thanksgiving day. The
delegates to the u. D. G. Convention
will be here and no doubt large con-
tingent of S. G. College students will
come down to cheer their team on to
victory, as it will be holiday with
them and the railroad schedules are
very convenient. The garnet and
black of Carolina will probably be
much in evidence as we'll as the local
teams colors. The operas will, also,
bring some people to town, and alto
gether it should be very pleasant
day for all.
The ball park is being cleared off
and put in readiness for the football
game on Thursday. Tickets can be
obtained from the students on the
streets. The price of admission will
be 25 cents. The game will be called
promptly at II o'clock and it is hoped
that all who can will come out and
witness the first game of football
ever played here and help the cadets
along.

A Thank Offering.

On Thursday morning, Rev. F. M.
Satterwhite desires to hold Thanks
giving service in Bartlette Street
Church, and l feel sure that he will be
glad to have not only his congregation
but as many of other congregations: as
will who may wish to attend. And I
have been thinking that it would be a
most appropriate time for Us to re-
member in practical way those who
are so absolutely dependent upon char
.ity for a livelihood. I mean the or
phans. They are so helpless and so
needy; and while most of US feel that
we have reached the extreme limit of
our ability in assisting others, may
it not be that we can put anothersdime
or another dollar in the loan we are
making to the Lord. Member.

depot she was introduced to young
man, the friend of one of the boys,
who was also on his way to Minneap-
oils, and who intended to take the same
train.
Through the gate they went and into
the same car, the Minneapolis girl in
the lead. AS she entered the Pullman
she turned laughingly, and said:
Just look at that section! Evidently
we are going to have a bride and
groom with us on the way up"
The section in question was lavishly
decorated with white ribbons and bril-
DIAL roses. AS one of the party re-
marked, it was certainly a splendid
piece of work" The odor from the
flowers perfumed the entire car, and
every one in it was oraning his neck
to catch sight of the newly-made ben
edict and his bride the moment they
should appear.
Then came the porter, and with
grandiloquent air deposited the lug
gage and wraps of the Minneapolis girl
in the bridal section.
why" she stammered. THAT isn't
right. 1 don't belong in there"
The porter grinned, but said nothing.
He turned away, and a moment later
deposited a gentleman's suit case on
the floor, close beside the little satchel
that nad preceded IT,
Then this young man who was bound
for Minneapolis cut into the conversa-
ton. Here, porter" he called, whats
all this tommyrot? Is that my berth ?"
Eyes, subj 1t suttenly is, sub. Upper
seben. The little lady has the lower"
and with a guffaw that could have been
heard for blocks, the blue-coated at
tendant< made for the farther end of
the car.
"Sit down, please, and try to look
pleasant" called a voice from the
crowd: and then began a shower of
rice. Every man in the party had rice
in each one of his pockets. Every girl
had bag of it concealed beneath her
wrap.
"Damn!" said the masculine trav-
elle-.
Thank you" said the girl please
say it again for me-"
Finally the train started and their
tormentors were compelled to leave.
Afterward the ribbons were torn down
and the roses thrown out of the win
dow.
But the troubles of that very much
unmarried couple were not yet ct an
end. They went in to dinner together
and found that the solicitude of their
friends had preceded them. For they
were shown to table decorated as had
been the sleeping car section, with
white ribbons and brides roses.
During the night, each time the train
stopped, kilograms were received m
quiring anXiously after their welfare:
and altogether the trip was one long to
be remembered.
However, out of that mock marriage
trip may grow the real article, for the
Chicago mans business has brought
him much to Minneapolis of late and an
announcement is expected shortly.

more concerning early newspaper life in
Nebraska. Having been present when
the first newspaper published in the state
was worked off. at Bellevue in 1854, and
having seen and read nearly every paper
that has been published in the state
from that date to this, Mr.. Morton may
be considered the Nestor of the Nebraska
press, and it was with more than
ordinary qualification that his promise
of assistance with the association daily
was received, because there seemed no
doubt but that a rich treat was in store
for the readers of this paper. Before
the time came for the other articles to
be forwarded, however, great aff1iction
fell upon the sage of Arbor Lodge, and
the stress of poignant grief undoubtedly
drove the matter of the association daily
from his mind. After this it did not
seem the right thing to do to intrude
our wishes upon the house of mourning,
