TN MEMORIAM.

The deRarted live in the deeds they
have wrought; in the memories OF
those they have impressed with com
mon mon interest and whom they may
have raised to a higher plane Of
thought and inspiration. The lives of
the good, the loyal and true admit of
no ettacement The law of association
is forever active in bringing them to
view. Some kindly word spoken yet
not forgotten, some act of beneficence
from unaeltish prompting, an express
sion of sympathy coming fresh from
the heart, become links 10 golden
chain uniting the living with the
dead. Mrs. Mary Dudley D .zier,
who departed this life Ar ,ust 29th,
was the impersonation of Kindness and
generous sympathy. Her greetings
were eyer cordial and her smile Of
recognition was always aglow with
sympathetic interest. For many years
in near contact with the unfortunate,
the weary and suffering, it was her
happiness to bring cheer and comfort
to the sad lives where reason was de-
trothed and hope has fed. To her it
was a pleasing sacrifice, and the Re-
cording Angel has not failed to make
proper entry in letters of flight.
Our friend has passed from view,
yeL liveth. Il cannot be that this
trsDei:orJ existence ends ail. Friends
40 not part forever. One by one they
may pass below the horizon of life,
dwelling at last in the twilight OF
memory, but sometime. somewhere in
Gods universe they will meet again.
A FRIEND.

Good Crops Of Everything.

If there was any danger of a
famine anywhere this year, we
would think providence had given
the secret to Mr.. C.S. Mccall to
prepare for it, for his barns will
not begin to hold his crop this
year, Of corn, peas, oats, fodder
and peavine hay. The needy can
have no fears about n scarcity of
corn. They can take their wagons
and come to Bennettsville and Mr..
Mccall can sell them what they
want. It takes piles to do him but
he won't turn You off empty ii
you want to buy any corn, peas or
hay. His cotton crop is the finest
we ever saw.

seen before he could move.
A merry group of girls and boys be

boy. and. noticing his look OF fright.
Eome of the youths thoughtlessly made
fun of him. The expression of fear on
the face OF the dwarf changed imme-
diately TO one of dignity. he seemed to
realize that, though not caught by his
