JAMES A. McMANUs.

On the morning of the 3rd day
ofsApril 1904. James A. McNla-
nus departed this life in the eigh-
tys yssixth year of his age.
- He was born and raised in old
Edgefeld County, and spent bis
entire long and useful life. in the
Sleepy Greek section of aaid coun-
ty.
He was laid to rest, by the side
cf,his devoted wife, i'll the ceme-
terry at McKendree, in the presence
of his large family, and a VAST
concourss of his neighbors and
friends, by whom be was highly
esteemed, on account of his joyous
and happy disposition, and the
many fine traits of mind and
heart, which distinguished him
inslife.
He is survived by three sons,
four daughters, forty-two grand
children, and thirty-one great
grandchildren, to all of whom he
was ever afectionate and devoted.
He was a good man, a loyal citi-
zen. a kindly and big-hearted
neighbor, ever ready and willing
to help and sympathize with the
unfortunate.
He died as he had lived, a con-
sistant member of tie Methodist
church.
For the last eight years of his
life he was afflicted With total
blindness, but through all this sad
afliction, he was never known tc
murmur or complain; he seemed
to recognize, as did Job-sThat
the hand of the Lord hath wrought
this
He tried TO merge his will into
that Of the Lord; he did not cavil
at this sad providence, but sub.
mitted passively to this decree
he;was willing to- drink the bitter
Z as we'll as the sweet, knowing thai
q the cup was prepared by biz
Heavenly Father, who loves hiE
people too we'll to add one ingre'
dent that might.hsve been spared
He did not complain at this pre-
scription of tho Heavenly Physi.
9cian because it was bitter, he
looked on it in faith as being fol
his good. He did not question
the love of his Father or dishonol
bis faithfulness by supposins
That there was needless or un
necessary drop in the cup, which
his loving wisdom had mingled.
Even so, Father, for so it seems
good in thy sight. Not my will
4 but thine be done"
thus was our brother and FRIEND
chastened through suffering; as {
shock Of corn, fully ripe, well ma

The boy when born is about half an

Of thirteen. when, in England and
America. the average girl is taller and
heavier than the boy. This halting, so
TO speak. on the part of the male is
speedily recovered, and he again out
runs tie female in size. At the period
of full development the mans average
height compared with the woman's
average is as sixteen to fifteen. Both
men and women maintain their maxi
mum height till the age of fifty years,
when they begin to grow shorter, until
at ninety they have lost three inches.
The reason for this dwindling is at
tributed TO the sinking Of the soft parts
