weeks old at her death, breathed out
it's feeble little life on December the
18th, making its earthly stay 81 days.
She, bore her sufferings with Chris

Christian woman, who tried to follow
in the footsteps of her Lord and
Master. She was never heard to
speak evil of any one and was ever
ready to sympathize with, comfort
and console her loved ones and
friends. In her dying hour she
praised her Savior and seemed happy
because she was nearing "the beauti-
ful home" She was an affectionate
wife, devoted mother, a kind and
loving daughter aud sister. She is a
great loss to the bereaved husband,
children, mother, brothers, relatives
and friends. But why should we
weep! By her patience and gentle
ness she fully showed to all about
her the reality the of religion Of Jesus
Christ. Her spirit has returned to
the God who gave it.
She was faithful member OF Boil

girlhood till last summer. when she
and her husband transferred their
membership to one of the Methodist
churches of Columbia. She was q
good worker in the church and Sun

not be moved without causing the
gun to explode.
Sure enough the thief came back
early Friday morning and in attempt
ing to remove the box, the gun went
off and the contents peppering the
face and hands of the thief. With q
cry of pain the thief made good his
escape, leaving behind trail of
blood as far as the section houses,
where all. traces of him were lost.
The police of Columbia were advised
to keep a sharp look out for the
thief and Saturday morning near the
Blanding street depot, in that city,
officer Boland saw a strange negro
with his right hand bandaged, and
hurt otherwise. He held him up,
examined him and it was not long be-
fore the officer found that he was the
fellow wanted. He was detained in
the city prison until Saturday after
noon when he was brought to this
place and lodged in Jail to await trial
at the February term of the court.
He gave his name as Tom Roman
and claims Leesville as his home.
He is a young buck of about Is

of this vicinity concerning the rob-
berry of goods in transit on the
Southern railway. just before the
Christmas holidays a car containing
whisky, consigned to the dispensary
at this place, was broken into and q
quantity of the "booze" stolen.
On last Wednesday night the
depot was broken into, the entrance
being made by plizing open the iron
bars to one of the windows Of the
Office and raising the sash. Express
envelopes were torn open and their
contents scattered over the floor of
the Office and some goods taken,
among which was box of tobacco.

Obituary..

Died, near Red Bank, Lexington
county, on December 25, 1902, Mrs.
Elizabeth Smith, wife of Levi Smith,
who had preceded her to the spirit
land about thirteen years. This kind,
loving, devoted companion, mother
and friend was born back of this
date 90 years, 2 months and 16 days.
She was a descendant from the
Vineyards whose ancestors came
from that historic land where first
burned the sacred love of God in the
heart of the great reformer which
was classification by Faith. It is
the gift of God. From that land
came Wingard, whose heart was
warm with this faith, and settled in
what is now called Lexington county,
and soon the church of God was
built and the goodness and mercy of
God was bestowed on its builders,
and thus the church of the Reforms
tion was firmly established in this
/ land. The deceased was a daughter
of Samuel Wingard, who lived at the
Joe Wingard place. She was con-
frmed member of the Lutheran
church, and remained faithful until
death. She was the mother of S
children, 4 dead; IS grand children,
10 dead; II great grand children, 2
! dead; 3 great great grand children, 1
dead. She was related to many of
this county and other counties and
States. She was loved by all who
knew her. 1t was the writer's privi-
lege to administer to the spiritual
wants of this dear saint of Gcd
Her faith was untiriDg to the end
for she sang in death:
Farewell! Farewell! to all below,
My Savior calls and I must 20;
I launch my boat upon the sea,
This land is not the land for me.
