A Bereaved Household.

How inexprsssibly sad it is when
it is known that friend or loved
one, suffering from incurable bodi-
ly affection, is on the very brink
of. eternity, likely to be called
hence at any moment Great has
been anguish of mind and heart of
the frieLds and relatives of Mr.. D.
E. Holland for some months in
their deep ,solicitude and concern
for his physical condition. For
more than three years he had been
patient sufferer from cancer on
his left temple which caused his
death on Sunday morning last at
his home four miles east of Edge
field. Mr.. Holland had been treat
es.. by eminent specialists, and
every means known to the medical
profession was employed to arrest
the progress of this dread disease,
but being of the type that battles
all human ingenuity it did not
yield TO treatment. On the con-
trary, it steadily and with increas
ing rapidity spread till vital parts
become affected which resulted in
immediate death. Mr.. Holland
was a devoted and indulgent
father, an afeetionate husband, a
kind and obliging nsighbor and a
business man of more than ordi-
nary ability, always receiving very
satisfactory returns from his farm
ing operations. The deceased was
forty-nine years of age and is sur
vived by a wife, four children and
three brothers. Mr.. Holland was
member of church in Newberry
county, where he lived for many
years. The mortal remains, were
laid to rest on Monday morning in
the Stevens burial ground, near
Ne ting Street, beside the graves
of his mother and father. The
Rev. c. f. Burts oficiated at the
funeral, s>~.
