On Appropriation Bills.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-The first week
in March finds the House with a very
small proportion of the big supply
measures awaiting it's action. The
naval bill was the eighth of the gem
eral appropriation bills that have been
disposed of at this session. The re-
naming supply bills will be given pre-
cedence over other measures, as it is
the desire of the leaders to clear up
all the regular business of the House
as early as possible. The District of
Columbia appropriation bill will be
taken up next and then will follow the
Indian appropriation bill. The post
office appropriation bill then win be
placed before the House, the consider
alton of which will consume some
time, ~ IS

a year the body of Miss Josie Pryor of
Fremont, o., who died in this city in
April last, has lain in the under
taking establishment of ]. M. Van

ago that financial arrangements could
be made for the remains to, be taken
to her former home.
Miss Pryor was an adopted sister of
Mrs. Annie r. Ingles, who was en-
ployed in Columbia at the time. When
death occurred there was not sufficient
money to take the body home, and Mrs.
Ingles decided to have it embalmed un-r
til she had made enough to defray
the funeral expenses and pay for its
transportation to Ohio. 1t was kept
at Van Metres until last night, when
the funeral services were held. and to-
morrow morning will be taken home.

A Magnificent Water
Front for Sale.

There is no more attractive salt
water frontage in Chatham county
than that at Coffee Bluff.
The stream of water is bold, with a
grand outlook aseaward, and the best
fishing in this vicinity.
The contiguous land is fertile, and
the woods abound in oak and hickory.
This tract consists of 100 acres, hav-
ing water frontage of 400 feet
The land is reached by the White
Bluff road, affording a shelled road to
within three miles of the land, and
there are good prospects of this short
space being shelled in the near flu
ture.
This land is easily divided into
building lots with beautiful frontage,
and good acreage in the rear.
Promoters and spectators are in
vited to investigate this as a rare
chance for profit.

to the bar here when just 81 years old
He was twice a member of the Marylane

A friend Of the deceased in Baltimore
writes to US as follows:
MR.. EDrToR:-In the death of Mr.. Sam
uel B. Hance, who passed peacefully
away on Sunday afternoon last, Maryland
losses one of her Doblest citizens; and his
many friends in southern Maryland will
feel deeply his loss.
The scenes of his early activity were in
Prince Georges County. Here he prac-
ticed law successfully for many years,
and after accommodating competency. re-
tired from practice and made his home
in Baltimore attending to his investments
and enjoying we'll earned rest from &C
tive labors.
His mind was we'll cultivated and stor-
ed with many interesting facts connected
with the leading issues and men before
and during the Civil War; and his memory
for dates and details was most remarkable.
In many instances he could give the per-
sonal history of prominent men in Con
gress, while in the state of Maryland, es-
pecially in southern Maryland, he seemed
know everyone. He was splendid
business man and of unyielding integrity.
He was often asked to write his remi-
niscences of southern Maryland, believing
it would have been a valuable contribu-
ton to local history. He was fond OF

atty to his friends. His home was most
delightful place to visit and we feel the
City and State are poorer by reason of his
death, and those who have been honored
with his friendship and confidence have
sustained an irreparable loss.
