Santuc News.

Mrs. Mamie Green Cain, the oldest daugh-
ter OF Mr.. Jim Green OF this community died
last Wednesday the Is, at her home In North
Carolina after short illness. She was mar
ried to Mr.. Cain short time after they both
graduated at Due West just one year ago,
when she bid farewell for the last time on
earth TO the friends and loved ones of her
girlhood days and went to make new friends
In North Carolina. Her mother and father
reached her only too late TO repeat that bitter
word, farewell, farewell," for her gentle spir-
when they reached her bedside. Her remains
were brought to Abbeville the day after her
death and tenderly laid to rest in the beauti.
ful and we'll kept cemetery at Gilgal, in the
presence of large gathering OF friends and
relations Who had come TO witness the last
sad rites. Here she was laid to rest where the
same birds OF her lifetime may carol, and
where her loving dear ones may drop their
tears with smiles OF radiant hope.
Rest thou in peace. beloved friend. Gods
fairest flower will deck the sod which covers
thee. The sweetest song birds will hover near
and chant thy requiem, for the angels did
covet thy presence we know, and the loveliest
of earth has gone from our sight.
Mrs. Cain prcfessed Christ In her early girl
hood at Gillgal and was ever afterwards a
faithful and willing worker in the Church.

life and character, the world and humanity
can but be the better because she has lived.
Though the number Of her years were few, in

few days old, q father and mother, brothers
and sisters, and large number OF friends W

life she has lived, th death she died, and the

The Fair will give US an opportunity 10 Set

The farmers will have chance OF e1smin
plements.
The Fair in q whole will permit US to show
TO others as we'll as to ourselves the greal

The Governor sat alone in his Office.
His private secretary had gone, and the
porter had not yet lighted the gas. The
Governor was tired and weary from a
hard days work, and he leaned back
lazily in his chair.
He was trying to locate pair OF
eyes. He had been over to the peniten-
tiary during the day, and in going
through it's gloomy walls, had come
upon convict being led back to his
cell by a couple of stout turkeys. The
convict was refractory, and had just
been given a thrashing and as he
slouched along sullenly, the Governor
stopped him, attracted by his face, and
asked what the trouble was.
None O. yer business" growled the
young man, sullenly.
Shut yer mouth, yer fool, it's the
