Old Ace.

Old age as it comes ] n the orderly pro-
cess of Nature Is a beautiful and ma.
jestic thing. The very shadow of
eclipse which threatens it, makes it the
more priced. 1t sta DIS for experience
knowledge, wisdom and counsel That
is old age as it should be. But old age as
it so often is means nothing but a
second childhood of mind and body.
What makes the diff renee? Very
largely the care of the stomach. In
youth and the full strength of
manhood it doesn't seem to matter
how we treat the stomach We
abuse it, overwork it. injure it, We
don't suffer from it much. But when
age comes the stomach is worn out 1t
can't prepare and distribute the needed
nourishment to the body, and the body
unnourished, falls into senile decay.
Or. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
is wonderful medicine for old people
whose stomachs are weak" and who's
digestions are "poor" Its invigorating
effects are felt by mind as well as body
1t takes the sting from old age, and
makes old people strong. 1t

Drew Irvine.

; Drew Irvine died Friday afternoon
about 4 o'clock at his home in the
Carriers Creek neighborhood, aged
about 33 years. His death was caused
by consumption, and the end did not
come Unexpectedly.
Drew Irvine was the son of the late
W. T. Irvine. who was one of the most
prominent men in the county. He is
survived by his mother and brother,
Warren Irvine, who live at their
home near Carter's CreeK. He was a
devoted son and friend, and was a
young man of good morals and fine
intelligence, having graduated in civil
engineering at Lehigh University.
The unfortunate event which came
into his life and blighted il was most
deplorable one, and his last days were
indeed sad days. Many who knew him
from his youth up and admired him
for his good qualities. will drop a tear
of sorrow for the hopes wrecked and
the young life brought down to an
early grave.
The burial took place Sunday after
noon about l O'Clock at Rose Hill
services being conducted at
the grave by Rev. Walter Capers.

Communities. like individuals
prosper according to the manner il
, which they improve or neglect theil
opportunities. Few cities of its size are
more favored with opportunities than
Columbia; but Columbia does not
always improve its opportunities.
Columbia's rank in the musical work
is not as high as it once was. That is
not for the lack of opportunity nor
the want of talent, but for the lack of
cultivation. We have few very fine
voices, and some highly trained ones
but the number of good singers with
well cultivated voices, is not what it
once was, and not what it ought to be.
Columbia Has Another Opportunity.
The talent being already here, the
coming of Prof. Floyd M. Hutsel gives
Columbia another splendid opportunity
to take its old time stand for musical
culture, than which there is nothing
more generally enjoyed.
Prof Hutsel is a natural born must.
clan; whose natural gifts and love
for the work, has made him a master
in his profession. His unmistable
talent manifested itself so early. that
at eight years of age ne became pupil
Of his sister. herself an accomplished
musician. His progress was so rapid
that at II, his parents sent him to
Chicago to study with Prof Simon,
one Of the leading instructors of
that city, and conductor of the choir
at the "Church of the Redeemer. -
From there he went to Sioux City,
Iowa. Here he prosecuted his studies in
the Morningside College of Music, and
at the age of Is took charge of the
Whitfield Methodist Church choir of
that city. From there he returned to
Chicago, where he studied under the
celebrated Emil Liebling, and the no
less renowned vocal instructor De
Alva Cl1ppenger; and from there he
came here.
Prof. Hutsel has his studio at the
Athenaum, where he will give les
sons both in vocal and on the piano.
About the middle of April he will
give recital He has a beautiful
voice. rich and full and musical, and
he sings as naturally as he breathes,
without any of those painful contor-
lions or offensive mannerisms we
sometimes see.
For years he has almost lived at his
piano. and has taught it how to talk
pack to him. He is its Master, and it
to his every touch. He is ]
composer also. and some of his pieces
lave had very extensive sales.
Columbia will wait with Impotence
o hear Prof. Hutsel's recital in April, 9
nd again in May they may look for

HIGH COST OF LIVING.
Prodlgallty Has Reached a Stage That
Is Almost Epidemic.

Is Almost Epidemic.
It seems to cost a great deal to
live nowadays. Most persons notice
II. especially persons who are hard
put to it to find the money to pay
their bill. says Harper's Weekly. The
statisticians report that commodities
in general use cost, on an average.
about 10 per cent more than they did
year ago. The rise In the price OK
meat contributes a good deal to this
advance, though breadstuffs have been
high. too. Articles of luxury have
grown dearer in proportion than most
articles Of necessity. because the huge
influx Of money that the country has
sustained has made a brisk market
for Injuries. Rents are higher;
houses cost more; servants get higher
wages; board is higher at summer
hotels Another thing that counts for
a great deal is that In prosperous
times like these the incomes of very
many people are increased and their
expenditures are proportionately am
plifed. They spend more money. live
more luxuriously and raise the stand
ard OF living. The living expenses OF
any given family are very much AZ
fected by the expenses of other fami-
lies Of their acquaintance, and the
scale Of living of "other families"
seems Just now to have become In
conveniently liberal. There is moth
ing that we are reader to share

Gus that is has become more or less
epidemic.
