was married to j. f. Holmes, October
Is, 1899. Sister Della was converted
some time ago mt Salem Church under
the ministry of Brothers Russell and

Rivers Baptist Church and was bap-
Tied by Bro. Reeves She endured
her suffcrings with Christian foritude
and died in the triumph of living
faith in Jesus, She is gone, leaving n
devoted husband aud one little
daughter, Hazel, aged Two years,
father, mother, brothers and sisters,
with host of relatives and friends, TO
mourn her death.
When VIC look at Gods dealings we
cannot see His purposes, but we know
He does all things right. She called
her relatives and friends around her
bedside and told them to meet her In
heaven. She asked them to sing.
Although so weak she would raise her
hands, join in and sing, "Must Jesus
Bear the Cross Al0nc,n rejoicing and
praising God until, at last, the end
came full of hope aud joy and peace,
and she fell asleep.
Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep,
From which none ever wake to weep"
Oh, how sad are our homes, but
while she is missed from our earthly
homes she has been taken to our
Fathers home on high. We must be
faithful until death, then we shall see
her who was so dear TO us. Heaven
seems nearer and Christ dcnrcr since
Dur loved one has gone there TO dwell
forever.
loft we think we hear our sister
Coming through the open door,
Then we tearfully remember
Dear Della viii come home no more.
And we listen, fondly listen,
For voice we cannot hear,
But the voice Of darling Della
Never more will greet our ear.
why do we wecpi for she is gone
To that home so fair and bright,
Where storm clouds never come,
Where cometh no sorrow or night.
lud could the cold lips only speak,
l know that they would say,
Weep not for tnc, / am at rest.
I'll meet you some sweet day."

A Marrow Escape Perhaps from Death.

Little Kathleen the bright and beauti-
full one year old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. n. l.. FAINT, of Midway, met
with what might have terminated In a
serious and perhaps fatal accident on
last Saturday morning. In toddling over
the floor she picked up a loose steel heel
tap, about an inch long with two
prongs or teeth on one side, which
happened to be lying in her way,
which she put in her mouth and made an
attempt to swallow, but fortunately it's
mother, who was near by, discovered the
child was choking with something and
ran to its relief, and thrustiDg her fingers
in the child's mouth found the heel tap
lodged in its throat, the prongs
OF the tap being caught i'm the tonsils.
In pulling the heel tap out the child's
throat was slightly lacerated, causing the
injured parts to bleed freely for short
while. The little one is all right now,
and of course ia in blissful ignorance Of
the miraculous escape 1t had perhaps
from death. Mrs. FAINT of course was
terribly frightened during the ordeal of
getting the heel tap out of her baby's
throat, and her nerves were very
much unstrung for several hours after
wards. Her advice is to keep dangerous
things out of the,baby's way.

-Gentlemen: On the 7th instant, about
8 o'clock p. M, while running corn
shredder in my lot. sudden puff Of
wind from the west carried fire from the
engine into my sbucks and cow barn and
in moment the whole pile of shucks
shucks OFF of LOCO bushels of corn, my
COW barn, my granery, oats, wheat, cot
ton seed, pcas, cain seed and about two
and "a half tons cotton seed meal were
destroyed. My corn crib, 800 bushels
capacity aud full to the comb of roof,
was burned, but about half the corn was
saved, 200 bushels fairly good, j 200
bushels badly burned. My large barn,
filed with fodder and hay, was not
burned, and 1 have shelter left for all
my stock, and feed, too. My total loss
is about 500. My insurance was $500 in
the Farmers Mutual Insurance Com
pany, of sOconee. 81
As I stood on the roof OF my dwelling
house, in q stiff west wind, aud watered
out the sparks, Icould see my neighbors
and friends climbing this red hill from
every direction iin answertto my farm
bell and engine whistle. But for their
quick work, good Judgment, determined
and untiring efforts, all my buildings and
contents would soon have been In ashes.
We had a narrow escape aud IifeeE that
we came off light considering all things,
and am thankful thatit was no worse.
To our neighbors and friends, one and
all, we take this opportunity to extend
our heartfelt thanks to them for their
efforts in our behalf We will try to re-
build our barns and fill them up again.
To all our friends, who love parched,
roasted, scorched or burnt corn. come to
see us now and eat to your I'LL. We have
large supply on hand and must confess
re are little tired of the diet. Messrs.

Early Sanders Was Not Killed.

1t was reported in Anderson several
days ago that Marion Massey, young
shot and killed Early Sanders, another
young white man of that county, during
the Christmas holidays. Both the young
men are well known in this county, and
much interest was folt in the affair here.
1t appears now, however, that Sanders
was not killed, as the following from the
Hartwell Sun of this week shows: "Dur-
ing the Christmas holidays Marion
Massey emptied the contents of shot
Roads In this county. One hundred and
thirty shot were taken from his anatomy
by the physician, but he will soon be as
good as new. Massey gave bond for his
appearance at Court. Too much bug
juice was the cause of the difficulty."--
