The grin REAPER
With Sickle Keen Cuts Down a Fair
YOunG Life.

The death of Mrs. Chester Flagler,
wife of Mr.. R. T. Flagler, at their
home near town last Thursday, was
a shock to her relatives and friends
in Kingstree, where she spent most
of her life as Miss Chester Pender-
grass. Her many amiable qualities
gained her large circle of friends
who sincerely mourn the going out
of her younglife. Death, the Reap.
er, is no respecter of persons and
flowers must fall as we'll as oaks.
1t is particularly sad, however, that
by Mrs. Flagler's death three
small children-the youngest a babe
of nine months are left without
mothers fostering love, and the
Young husband, who has only recent
ly recovered from a long and almost
fatal illness, has TO assume the
entire burden of their care and pro-
lection.
Mrs. Flsgler's death was due to
erysipelas caused by a small pimple
on her face, No one thought it
serious, but when erysipelas set in it
was only a matter Of hours when the
end came. She was only twenty-si1
years old and just a few years ago
was happy bride.

remains were inferred at Tthe vii.
