Death Of Mrs. Wyatt Aiken.

Mrs. Mary Barnwell Aiken, beloved wife of
Wyatt Aiken, died at tweIve O'Clock last
Thursday in Washington, D. G. She had been
Ill for little more than a week, and on Mon
day her mother, Mrs. Benz. S. Barpwell &C
companied by her son Mr.. Foster Barmw well
went on, and were with her during her last
hours. From the first 1t was seen that her
life hung by mere thread. All that tender
nursing, money or medical skill could do for
her. was done, but all to no avail.
and Mrs. Benz. s. Barn well. About twelve
years ago, she married Hon. Wyatt Aiken,
who with four little children survive her.
When he went on q short time ago, to take
his seat In Congress Mrs. Aiken and the
children went with him, the future full OF
hope and prom e, the early blightipg OF
which brings grief and a general sense OF
to her family and husband. She was sin
cere Christian, In all the tender graces and
virtues that that word carries with IT.. A
devoted wife and mother, loving daughter,
angelic sister, her life had been given IN
loving service TO her loved ones, and she had
remained unspotted from the world.
It is useless 10 attempt to express In words
was received, or the earnest, deep, affection
ate sympathy of this community for those
upon whom the blow falls most heavily.
The remains arrived in the city Friday and
were laid to rest Saturday, at Melrose Gene
terry after short but impressive ceremony
at the Episcopal church. conducted by Mr.

Time for CrOak crs to Shut Up.

Talk of moving the railroad shops, like
measles, breaks out enthusiastically, and
the owners of houses are panic-stricken,
while the would-be builders of houses are as
certainly scared into inconniption fits.
The fact is, the railroad, as far as we can
learn, has never contemplated violation Of
their solemn contract by which this town
paid 900 as bonus to secure the shops.
On the contrary, the railroad up to this
time, has carried out its contract TO the let.
ter. They have done we'll under the circum-
stances. and the scarcity OF houses has re-
suited from the threats Of irresponsible men
who have circulated disturbing reports
Just now the railroad folk are concluding
arrangements by which Mr.. w. S. Cothran
will transfer 10 the company the needed land
on which to build greater and larger pumps
to supply the increasing demand for water.
While we know nothing officially, yet We
have no hesitation In saying that we believe
the Seaboard will keep faith with our p' ople
10 the letter.
You can just set down any report about the
removal Of the shops as one of those mislead,
Ing things.

As We EXpected.

When the name of w. h. Hearst was first
named for President, we thought his nomina-
tion was improbable. We thought this be.
cause fthe fact that he is an editor, and We
supposed that his brother editors would see
to 1t that he was defeated. The New York
editors are too strong TO allow one OF their
number to receive the distinguished honor.
In the State Convention at Albany, Judge
Parker was declared the choice of the Dem,
ocracy. 1t is likely that he will be nomina-
ted by the National Convention.
We have lost no sleep over the prospective
nomination of Presidential candidate and
take no stock in the insinuations or charges
that Hearst proposed to buy the nomination,
or TO get 1t by corrupt methods.
Tho charge, we suppose, had no more truth
in 1t than the stories OF book agents or pic
ture sellers tampering with Lexington juries,
or that the jury was illegally drawn.

home were just the same, her husband had In
meet to be envfed. So pleasant In onversa-
ton, so kind in disposition, SO lovable In
character made her life full OF sunshine, her
home was one Of lavish hospitality. This is
makes 1t doubly hard, as they pass "under
the rod" With this rod God chastens but
he has with 1t the oil Of joy for mourning. for
He maketh sore, and He bindeth up. Why
MONDAY OF life, yes we might say In the
morning OF life, so young, SO much to live for,
mother, father, brothers and husband, with
four dear little ones who need her In every
sphere? It is right, and we shall not mur.

Some sweet day.

We shall see more bright and clear,
Some sweet day.
The memory of Dear Mary" with such a
dow Of kindness for every one, will long live
in the hearts of all who knew her, and TO the
deepest sympathy, and though death brings
grief and sadness, we dwell not on the pain of
parting. but rather IL the Joy of meeting
again, in our Fathers home. Cousin.
