at Pompeii. We spent day look
ing at them and the fine paintings,
which are next to Rome-the most
valuable in the world.
This city is famous for it's corals,
canoes and gloves. These three
articles can De purchased cheaper
here than anywhere else. You can
get a fine quality of gloves, such as
we give 50 for, for 40 cents.
We have mot visited Pompeii,
Capri, Sorrento or Vesuvius yet, as
those points are included in our tour
with Cook.
We have very funny times trying
to make these people understand us,
but somehow we always succeed in
the end. The people here in the
hotel speak English, SO we are all
right when at home. Both of us are
picking up some Italian, and think
! could soon learn it.
The women here are very pretty.
and the children are perfect pic-
lures.
Every evening about sundown the
streets are full of goats, which are
MIXED out on the pavement. That
Is the Naples method of dairyng.
Inc nannies seem to enjoy it, and
are the most independent looking
objects in Naples.
The horses are the worst looking
animals ever saw. 1t is quite a
common sight to see great big cart,
loaded with furniture or other thin ps.
drawn by poor little donkey, not
larger than hree-months- old calf.
Beggars beset you on every side,
and it won't do to even look at one.
Flowers are for sale everywhere.
Can get a dozen American beauties
tor twenty cents, and carnations for
even less.
l like Naples better than Genoa
or Milan. In fact l would like to
stay here for long time.
l feel very anxious to hear from
home. Have not yet heard from
any OF you. Write me, General
Delivery, Vienna, Austria, when YOU
receive this. We expect to reach
there the 25th.

Carriage hire is very cheap and we
ride all the time. No BODY seems
to walk here.
To-day we went to the largest
medical school in Italy, as Ed. de
sired to visit it, and he saw yerv
many interesting things. Afterward
we visited the National Aquarium
and saw the wonders of the deep.
1t was the most interesting sight
ever saw; such sea weeds, fish, coral
and other curious and beautiful
things. We also took the famous
carriags drive to the Cave of the
Lybil, VirgiPs Tomb, and where
Pliny wrote Acteon, and came back
along the road where St. Paul walked
as he journeyed to Rome. At every
turn there is something of interest
to be seen-such flowers, such orna-
mentation-fairly takes ones breath
away.
The hotel where we are stopping
is very modern and is one of the
most artistic buildings l have ever
seen. 1t is built upon the side of
the mountain and we go out upon
the top or roof garden to reach the
next street which is reached by two
or three flights of stone steps leading

Death OF A. Evlns Browne.

Mr.. A. Evins Browne, formerly a
citizen of Walhalla, died at his home
at Denver, in Anderson county, on
Friday, the 9th day of June, 1902,
after many months of suffering with
a complication of diseases, aged So
years. The deceased was one of the
thirteen children of Samuel and
Nancy Geer Browne, and leaves two
brothers and five sisters, besides
many other relatives and friends,
who highly esteemed him. When
only 16 years old he joined Com
pany G, Orr's Regiment S. G. ",
and served valiantly through the
civil war until May 12, 1865, when
he was captured at the Bloody Angle
and taken to Fort Delaware and
kept prisoner until after Lees sur
render. In September, 1865, he
married Miss Julia Miller, of Oconee
county, who, with one son and one
daughter, survives him. Mr.. Browne
was an honorable, upright citizen,
and, best of all, Christian. For
many years he was a devoted mem
ber of the Methodist church, yet his
last days were his best days, for in
the fiery furnace of affliction the
dross of his nature was consumed
and the gold refined, 80 that he
walked close with God.
