ience and fortitude, and after be knew
there was no hopes of his recovery,
he was not afraid. Death had no ter.
ro.s for him. It was only a step from
this world ofsorrow and suffering TO
the "beautiful} Beyoundn where sor-
row and pain comes not.
On Saturday afternoon he Was laid
to rest in the Red Bluff Cemetery.
The Rev. Dunlap Of Clio conducting
the burial services. A large number
OF sorrewing friends aud relatives
gathered there to pay their last res-

OF his earthly existence.
He was 63 years old, and leaves a
wife and four children to mourn his
loss. They have the sympathy of the
entire community in their sad bereave.
ment.
Neill D. McLnurin was noble
christian man. He was faithful to his
God, to his church and to his coun ry.
At the call of duty he never hesitated
and when, in 1861. the call was made
for volunteers to defend his beloved
Southland, he was among the first to
offer his service. He, with number
of other young men from this COM
munitY joined Company G, 23rd regi-
ment South Carolina Volu ateers, as
state troops. They went to Charleston
and were in service thsre for eight or
ten months. There they joined the Con, ,
federate army for the war and went
from Charleston 10 Virginia. They
were in several engagements in Vir-
ginia. Their Captain, Angus McRae
Of Clio, was killed in the second bat.
tie of Manassas. Many of their COM
pany were killed and wounded, but
all that were not disabled were true
to the Confederate flag and followed
it till the close of the war.
Neil. D McLaurin wss amonp the
last named. He was one among the
vast army of brave Southern soldiers,
who came back from the scenes Of
war and strife to find in their once
happy homes ruin and want. The
war was not over with them. It was
now, to battle for bread. They had to
begin life oIer again, and many OF
them with nothing TO begin with. but
these brave heroes OF "The Lost Cause"
went to work, and it was just such
brave men as Neill D. McLaurin that
made our Southland what it is to. day.
Quite number IF mis- old comrades
in the war stood by his grave with
sad faces and bowed heads IS lie was
lowered to his last long resting place.
He was an honest true man and had
the esteem and respect Of every one
who knew him. There was not man
IN the county who had more friends
than he had. Everything that could
be done for him was done by sympa-
thizing friends and loved ones and at.
tentive physicians, but nothing could
stay the hand of the dread Reaper
Dea a'h. But, BLESSED are they that
die in the Lord and we all feel sure
that ere now he has received his re-

able sign that the feeling among savings banks
and insurance companies is much more optimistic
than for weeks, due to the favorable change in
the monetary situation. According to observant
traders speculative interest which toak profits
on the recent bulge began to buy back their
stocks, being actuated by the smallness of offer
ngs on the declines and presence Of buying Or
ders from the public. The granger stocks, par
ticularly ST. Paul, Missouri Pacific and Atchison,
continue in favor and have been well bought,
the specialists report, on easy money and the
crop outlook There has also been excellent
buying of the low-priced coal stocks, both hard
and soft, on the growing belief that the inter-,
state commerce commission investigation of the
anthracite coal combine will have no serious con-
sequences for the coal carrying roads.
Chas. E. Lewis from New YOrk-Reports from
the Wheat-groWing country today were of high
ly satisfactory character, indicating crop con-
siderably in excess of former years., which
should supply ample funds for farmers in that
section and also reflect increased earnings in the
granger roads. News from ALI centers Of the
Industrial and commercial world also report ex-
pansion rather than ,dminution in general busi-
ness. ., .=..s .s fri sEgs +. .sa
1t would seem from these reports, together
with the ease in money market that prices
of securities should have q natural and sub
stantial rise, and there is no doubt they would
if it were not for the fact that there Is no
outside interest to stimulate activity. Until the
public becomes interested we do not expect to
see any marked fuctuation in prices but, on the
other hand, we see nothing to cause any material
recession.

the Missouri river is full of moisture, but the
surface is drying out rapidly. Good progress
is now being made in plowing for corn. Only
fair progress made this week in seeding
