aged one year, six months and ten days
He had been very i'll for ten days and
how anxiously kind friends and loved
ones watched by his bedside, hoping and
praying that he might recover, but il
was not to be. There was vacancy
among the angels that mono but he could
fill; little white robe that none but he
could wear. He is united with his little
namesake, McNeill Barron, who died
June goth, 1901. What happy meeting
1t must have been, and now two little
white-robed angels are Watching and
waiting at the beautiful gate to welcome
the loved ones home.

Loved ones gone on before,
That they will meet us at the gate
And land us safe on Canaan's shore.

Mr.. Mickler Loses by Fire.

On Monday night of last week j.
@. Mickler lost his smoke house and
other outhouses, we'll shelter, etc., by
fire. He lost cotton meal, peas, feed,
supplies, tools, etc., and these losses fall
very heavily upon him right at the most
crucial stage of crop. The fire is sup
posed to have originated by rats and
matches, as no other idea can be ad-
vanced. Mr.. and Mrs. George Crouch
and Sam Isbell, the young man who lives
with Mr.. Mickler, and Lindsay, colored,
deserve special mention for their efforts
to save the burning property, and Mr..
Michler personally thanks them. His

Small Fire al Seneca,

Last Sunday night the store of j. L.

to be on fire, and before sufficient num-
ber could gather to cope with the flames
the building was completely destroyed.
The stock of Kell Bros. was valued at
about 5000, and was insured for $400.
The building, which belonged to j. w.
Harper, was valued at $500, with no in
surance. The fire was almost at the
rear of the Keowee Hotel, and fears
were entertained for the safety of that
building, but by hard work and care it
was saved. The origin of the fire is un-
known, but 1t is supposed that it was
started by rats gnawing at matches,
which we're kept in stock.

Death OF A. Law.

Archelaus Lay died at his home, near
Tamassee, Tuesday m orning, 2lst instant,
at O'Clock, after protracted illness
from organic heart disease. He was
sixty-seven years of age, and one of
Oconee's most substantial and represen-
tative citizens. He was noted for the
conscientious discharge of duty, both
private and public. While his avocation
was that of tiller of the soil, yet he
positions of trust and honor. Though a
young man at the beginning of the Civil
war he volunteered and went to the front
as private in Company f, (Capt. Miles NJ.
Norton), Orr's Regiment, and saw four
years of valiant service as soldier. He
was in many hard-fought engagements
and carried on his person the scars of
battle. During tho spring of 1854 he
was severely wounded in the fighting
around Richmond. Nothing daunted at
the close of the war he began again the
work of building his fortune on the
farm, and right well did he succeed. It
was not long, however, until he was
again called to serve his country. Upon
the division Of Pickens District into
counties in 1858 he was elected as men,
Der of the first Board of County Com
missioners of Oconee county. He rem
dered valuable service in that capacity,
his quick perception and fine Judgment
winning the confidence and esteem of his
fellow. citizens. He was frequently re-
elected to this office, and in 1893 he was
elected County Supervisor, serving two
years. He also served one term of two
years as member of the House of Rep
resentatives. During the year 1901 he
was foreman of the grand jury, thus
bringing to an honorable close period
Of some forty years OF faithful and fear-
less service of his country in both war
and peace. Well done, good and faith
full servant, rest from thy labors.
In early life he was happily married to
Miss Elvira Grant, who, with three sons
and three daughters survives. To them
Ia extended the sincere sympathy of many
friends. This "wednesday morning at
ii O'Clock his body was buried in the
cemetery at Bethel Presbyterian church,
after funeral services conducted by Rev.
r. l.. Rogers, and attended by large
concourse of sorrowing friends.
