We would not call her back from

whom she loved almost to idolatry.
They, with the dear nephew who was
as a son to iler, loved and caressed
her bru shed the little straws and
carefully removed the heavy obstacles
from her way, tempering with tender
ness life chilly winds to the afflicted
mother.
The grief of griefs is theirs to bear.
Their ministries are Ger, she is
happy elsewhere.
They pray Dear Lord, to whose great
love
Nor bound nor limit line is set,
Give to our mother, we lmplore,
Some new, sweet joy, not tasted yet.
For we can do no more.
Cold and lifeless is that heart which
was the seat of friendship that never
failed to answer to the call OF the
needy, suffering or sorrowing. Dim
and sightless the eye that beamed
with intelligence. She was woman
of natural gifts that were cultivated.
She was well read and had the power
of expressing thoughts OF her we'll
stored mind. Closed forever are the
lips that never formed harsh, unkind
words, but were opened to comfort
and speak words of love. Still are the
feet that were ever busy on errands
for others. She was comforter, as
every troubled one who came her way
can testify. Quietly, and in her own
home her last years were spent. but
no one knew her there without loving
her.
1t was our blessed fortune to be with
her last Easter morning when q band
of Sunday school children, each bear
ing card, pretty egg or blooming
plant, called to seq her. They sang
their little Easter songs, and as each
babe her good bye in each particularly
childish way, we felt that God still
seats angels to earth to make glad
the world on Easter day. Her Bible
ever lay on her couch in easy reach OF
her one "weli'' hand, and how often
she reached for it
The remains, accompanied by many
loving ones, were brought to Campbell
Station Thursday morning and laid
beside those of her husband.
II our thoughts shall climb with her.
Following her feet on the heavenly
stair
Up which her steps so lately sped,
And seeing her so happy there,
We'd return here half comforted.

Chinese sailors on American ships. An
amendment covering this proposition
was at first ruled out on point of

rifle went astray. William Gassaway
was shot at distance of 300 yards,
where he stepped from behind tree
long enough to fire at the negro. Prout
and Paynes were pierced by the same
bullet.
Dynamite was used, but that failed
to GUST the negro from his point of
vantage. Citizens gathered, and when
ever one came within range in the
open he fell.
Finally, as night was approaching,
call was made upon the governor
for troops and he sent the Wheeler
Rifles from Florence. They poured
volley after volley without effect into
the house. Then it was decided to
burn the adjacent houses in the hope
of setting fire to the one in which
Reynolds held sway. Two went up in
flames. Unseen, Reynolds, to escape
this danger, fled to an clubhouse, from
which he killed his last two men. FL
