In Menoriam.

Born March s, 1866, died May ,, 1902.
This brief space of time was the allotted
life period of Mrs. Fannie Belle Riner.
wife of George w. Riner, whose demise
occurred as above recorded, at her
home in Hagerstown, Md.
The subject of the above notice was
in every respect most lovable char
alter, endearing herself to all who were
privileged TO come into association with
her. Possessing a sweet, loving, kind
disposition, she at once won the love
and respect of all.
Her life to the writer is sweet and
hallOwed memCry, and, | dare say,
those who were the companions and as
sociateS Of her girlhood days, along
with those who were privileged to af-
filiate with her in her maturer years,
will gladly voice the sentiment so eX-
pressed. She was one Of those rare
characters who by natural charm OF
grace, gentility and kindness at once
win the lasting esteem of all; who by
their large hearted generosity Of love
and mercy endear themselves in the
hearts and memories of friends; who
deem no sacrifice too great, no labor of
love too hard, no act of mercy and kind
ness adequate for and to the needs of
others. Hers was life of devotion to
her family and friends, ever mindful of
their needs and comforts, which she
valiantly sought and labored to supply.
With q firm faith in the God OF wis
dom as her chief reliance she lived,
and the hour of death with welcoming
gaze she beheld the approach of His
angel. And now that she has been
translated to new life, eternal with
her God yet we needs must cherish in
our memories the beauty of the old
lIfe--sO fortultouS, so patient and sub
missve--it To emulate, that from IL we,
too. may learn how to live, so that we
may know like her, "how to die" Bless
ed be all who die with their faith in
the Lord. h. h. 3.

full. The oak trees in South Carolina
have whiskers-at least they have
that appearance. Long gray moss
hangs from the boughs precisely like
gray boards, and it is very peculiar
sight to those who observe it for the
first time. 1t looks spooky.
The Charleston people have in a
superlative degree that most commend
able characteristic of Southerners gen.
orally, the grace of hospitality. They
are most agreeable to the stranger
within their gates-once he is within
them. Their accent is particularly
soft and insidiously sweet, and you
may listen for the sound of an or as
long as yon will, but you'll never
hear it.
Th. biennial meeting Of the Uni
ted Lutheran Synod of the South was
largely attended by ministerial and
lay delegates, and the sessions were
interesting and profitable. The rou-
tine business was satisfactorily per-
formed and questions of general in
terest discussed. Commissioners from
the General Synod and the General
Counsel were present, and it was
agreed that the three great Lutheran
bodies of the United States are now
in closer and more harmonious re-
lations than ever before.
Two years ago a movement was
originated to raise $4,000 for an en-
dowment for the Theological Semi
nary at Mt. Pleasant. The work was
in charge of Rev. Dr. R. G. Holland,
and he has proudly announced that
nearly $4,000 has been subscribed,
and the full sum will soon be rounded
out. The next special work of the
Synod will be to pay for the Orphan s
Home at Salem. The mission work
of the church has been kept up well
and will be further extended. Rev.
L. L. Smith was reelected president
of the board of church extension aud
Rev. DR.. Probst secretary. The Uni
ted Synod will meet in 1904 at New
Market, Va.
The writer was delightfully."- enter
tanned in the home of Mr.. Louis Sher-
fesee and his charming family on Rut-
ledge Avenue. 1t was great privi-
lege to be entertained with such gra-
cious hospitality, and we can never
forget their kindness. Mr.. Sherfesee
is an old Confederate, and served as
color-bearer in Harris battery Of the
Hampton Legion. He cherishes with
good deal of pride the old colors
that he so CALAMITY defended from
1861 to 1865. He fought through
the Valley of Virginia and remembers
we'll our section.

DEAR EDITOR While ParsOn J. II. +. Car
ter pastor OF Asbury NJ. +. church, was in
the kitchen of the parsonage cleaning away
on h is ministerial straw 10 adorn his head,
he was startled by a voice at the door singing,
"The Lord will provide" Then some one
from the outside tried the door as If anxious
To be "in with the Parson." Parson thought
OF wife and daughter who ha / gone To bed.
Believing them 10 be out OF danger. he stead
led his thoughts. and wondered who dare dis
turb the patience and economic thoughts OF
n Parson when cleaning the GROWING garb
of summer.
SO. as II trying the elastic power OF the
muscles. the Parson stretched his arms at
full length, seized the door knob and key
and as anxiety and reluctance became some
what contentious, TO settle them, the PAR
son was forced TO turn the key, that outside
sOngster turned the knob, and the door,
(Which ought TO be, but alre ady hung flew
back in the Parsons face, causing him TO
"back-step," which was strictly against the
rules of the church; but after stepping
distance, the Parson was found at bay ready
for his assailants. The Parson got out OF
reach OF his weapons, which were a spade,
rake, and hoe. Sergeant Maddox was out
OF reach. When, not only 10 the surprise OF
the Parson. but the town as well, in stepped
the ring leader, Jarrett Greenfield local
preacher followed by strong band OF
members OF a. buTy NJ. T.. Church, and began
pounding the Persona pretty way to treat
an ambassador of the Cross indeed But GOD
is always on the side OF the right, and the
Parson has the name OF each person con-
nected with the affair and will bring them
before the Supreme Magistrate. After some
speech making, the Parson was compelled 10
thank his Founders for giving him good
pounding. and after the party dispersed, the
Parson called TO his wife to come down and
see, not where he was pounded, but with
what he was pounded.

something of the South from an agri-
cultural point Of view. 1t is not pos
sible to gain much knowledge of the
country while going through it at
thirty miles an hour, yet impressions
are acquired, nevertheless.
We should not advise a Jefferson
county farmer to swap land, What
we saw of South Carolina was pretty
fiat. The farmers chiefly grow cot
ton, with some rice and tobacco, and a
little corn. The soil is good for veg
etables, and truck farmers ship early
stuff north in quantities. Little or
no wheat is grown. A very large
part of the land is uncultivated, and
is covered with pine and oak trees.
We saw men blowing with oxen in a
leisurely sort of way, and in the fields
colored women and children may be
noticed hoeing cotton and corn. We
saw none, however, who seemed to be
over-exerting themselves. The negro
women smoked their pipes more vigor-
ously than they hoed the cotton.
Thrifty-looking farms and well-kept
houses and barns are not seen from
the car windows in either North or
South Carolina, though it is said that
the railroads do not go through the
best sections. There are many fine
plantations through the States named,
but for the most part the farm houses
are very poor. The season is, Of
course, now well advanced. Growing
corn is foot high. Roses have
bloomed and gone. Blackberries are
ripe. Peas and beans and tomatoes
and cabbage and potatoes are plenti-

Hunt and Heitfeld have made a
clean sweep in Latah county where
the convention endorsed the
present state administration, and
passed a resolution in favor of
naming senator at the state con.
vention. Kootenai and Shoshone
are sure to follow this lead and the
combination may sweep mp the
solid north. Politicians in touch
with the situation say that the OPP
position to Governor Hunt comes
wholly from disappointed politi-
Clans who were not able to control
the policy of the administration
and from Office seekers who failed
to secure job.
The Lewiston teller. (Lewiston, Idaho) 1900-1905, 1902-07-31

A strenuous fight is being made
against the renomin alton of Gov.
ernor Hunt by democrats of this
county who are opposed to him.
The governor has many warm
friends in this county but he is
handicapped by the fact that this
Is the home county ,ot Senator
Heitfeld and Senator Heitfeld' S
friends are placing his interests
ahead Of the Governors to keep
down a fight against the senator in
his home county. As a result Nee
Perez county is likely to turn
down Hunt and endorse Heitfeld
ut the convention which selects
delegates 10 attend the democratic
state convention.
