Homicide Near Latta.

Marion, Dec. 2O.-What may be
termed Marion's first Christmas hon.
icide occurred last evening, when
Percy Mcclellan was shot and in
stantly killed about o'clock. The
killing took place at the home of
one Gainey, who is an employee of
Lassiter's saw mill, and who lives on
John Finklea's plantation, about ave
miles from Latta. Mcclellan met his
death at the hands Of boy less than
half grown, son of Gainey. 1t
seems that the deceased had been at
q shooting match in the neighbor-
hood in the afternoon, and had later
come to the home Of the Gaineys in
an intoxicated condition and was so
violent that he ran away all except
young Gainey, who was compelled, in
self-defence, to shoot him, which he
did, using a shotgun, the entire load
entering at the right Of the windpipe
and making its exit at the left side
Of the back of his neck.

OUT IN THE LONE STAR STATE.
Miss Maria Dendy Receiving Marked
Attention i'm Texas.


The following item, which will be
of interest to many OF our readers i'm
Oconee, is clipped from the Mexia,
Texas, Evening News OF December
18th:
"A particularly pretty social event
occurred Monday afternoon at the
commodious home OF Judge w. E.
Doyle, when Miss Gary, the accom-
plished daughter of the home, en-
tertained in honor OF her cousin,
Miss Maria Dendy, of Richland, S. c.
Miss Dendy has for the past sew
erai months been charming addi-
tion to our social circle, and has by
her grace and sweetness won many
from our midst. She will leave in
the near future for Richland.
The rose hued rays of the declin-
Ing sun seemed to linger to add beau
ty to the already beautiful decora-
tions Of mistletoe, gMEening Ivy and
THE preparations for this event
through their happy realization
evinced much thought and attention,
fully justified by the results in the
appropriateness of environment.
Three tables were provided for the
game of 500. The score and tally
Suiu leu ouI Iue decorative
scheme, being ornamented with
holly, mistletoe and snow scenes.
High score prize, book of
poems entitled Man and His Mate
was won by Miss Myrtle Street. Con-
ISOLATION prize, a beautiful calendar,
was awarded to Miss Katie Cosna-
han. The souvenir for the honeree
was a lovely dresser cushion, fash
ioned of yellow satin and net, which
was received by Miss Dendy.
AT the close Of seven games, writ
ing material was given to each guest,
and while Miss Myrtle Street, to her
own accompaniment sweetly and in
comparably sang September and as
an encore Just Wearryihg for You
the busy girl fingers wrote some
thing for you to read on the train
The productions were comic, humor-
GUS and pathetic.
"A dainty menu, consisting Of a
delicious salad course, followed by
coffee, was served. Upon each plate
was found a souvenir ribbon, and
there were the words "A Merry
Xmas in glittering letters.
"The fair girls who graced this
most enjoyable occasion were Misses

and Adele Stevens, Nannye Oates,

THE srRoTHER MAusoLEUsr.
The Handsome and Substantial Struc-
ture Has Been Completed.

Upon an eminence in a thirty-acre
lot of wood at West Union can be
seen the mausoleum (tomb) Of Rich
ard Coleman Strother. 1t is one of
the best and neatest structures of the
Kind that we have seen. G.. II. May
hew, of Seneca, was the contractor
and builder. The base is ten by ten
feet, four feet thick and seven feet
high. The inside measurements of
vaults are eight feet four inches by
three feet four inches. The doors
are of notified Creole marble.
Around the tomb is walk of ce-
ment two feet wide. There is an
eight-inch wall between the two
vaults, with STRoTHER in bold
Gothic letters over the vault. The
roof is reinforced with iron railing.
Upon these iron rails is q six-inch
cement roof. To look at this struc-
ture one would think that it would
last forever, but granite crumbles
and marble decays, and so will every
thing that is tangible. 1t is in keep
isg with Mr.. Strother's taste-it Is
plain, 1t is neat, and it is strong.
1t Is not customary to write a
eulogy to the living, but If you will
pardon ME l will refer briefly to the
life and character Of my lifelong
friend, r. G. Strother. Our friend
ship is akin to that Of David and
Jonathan, and now, while he is still
in the flesh, 1 will come with this
bouquet Of flowers and pin them
upon the lapel of his coat that he
may see and know that / love him;
for If l wait until death comes and
then chisel warm love words in ice
cold stone they will not do him any
good. 1t can be recorded of but few
men more appropriately than Of r.
G. Strother that truth and Justice
and honor have been the guides Of
his life. To do Justice, to adhere to
truth, and to maintain his honor are
sentiments deep-roOted in his nature
His home life Is the most beautiful
feature in his character. His life has
always been modest and unobtrusive.
He never was demonstrative, but his
example will be remembered. His
heart goes out to every person in
distress. His character as a Con-
federate soldier will live as an hon
orable heritage to his children. He
was as brave as Caesar and as gen.
tie as Ruth. We were in the war to-
gether from Manassas to Appomat-
toX,and in many hard-fought strug-
gle, at times hand to hand, breast to
breast and hilt to hilt, and we drank
from the same canteen. He is a
man OF strong convictions. When it
comes to duty and honor there is
not anything small or hidden in him.
lie Is the same Dick Strother now
that he was forty-five years ago.
What | have written | have writ
ten AS l have stated Mr.. Strother
is one Of my bosom friends, and may
he live many years. And when he
comes to the end of the journey, and
his drapery is drawn about him,
may he die as he has lived, among
his friends, nursed by the tender love
OF those to whom in life he has been
everything. J. Russell Wright,
