as Of Newberry college, the lecturer,
orator and educator, delivered lec-
ture recital on the Life Tragedy Of
Edgar Allen Poe" in the auditorium
of Walker-McElmoyle high school
last evening. This was indeed a rare
treat, a great pleasure, and a high
honor for the people Of this commun-
ity to hear such a noted and talented
lecturer on this intellectual subject.
His words, 50 logically, eloquently,
and artfully spoken, thrilled the large
audience and held it spell bound
throughout the entire lecture.
Prof. Thomas, being a native of
Maryland, and having lived for sew
eral years near where the literary
genius Poe lived and died so tragl-
cally, ably and very impressively
gave the true accounts of Poe's short
life and literary productions.

TWELVE YEARS IN OFFICE.
Sheriff Buford Served Many Jurors
and Handled Thousands Of Prison
ers During His Term Of Office.

Sheriff NJ. NJ. Buford. Of this couI:-
ty. is now closing his twelfth year in
that office. During that time he iiaS
served II grand jurors venires, in
all ITO men. He has also served Is
venires for petty jurors, in all 1854
men, making total Of 1884 citizens
of this county, who have been served
by him as jurors.
During his term Of office he has
taken go persons to the hospital for
the insane from this county. During
the term of ". W. Hodges as probate
Judge 81 of these we're sent, during
the administration Of J. c. Wilson 81.
and II during f. NJ. Schumpert ;
term.
Up to Yesterday. December 14th. he
had received in the jail during his
term of office 1886 prisoners.
In January lie will enter upon his
fourth term as sheriff Of this county,.
In the old days the sheriff was ineli-
gible to succeed himself in office, but
it has been the history Of this county
not to change county officials except
at very infrcquent intervals. However
an examination Of the history Of this
county will show that for several
terms before the war Gen. H. H. Kin
ard was succeeded by his brother,
Mai. J. P. Kinard. and in turn Major
Kinard was succeeded by General
Kinard, carrying out the idea Of not
changing county officials even when
the law required it but keeping the
office in the family.
Young John Harrington was the
clerk of the court in this county for
43 years from 1907 to 1850.
The first election by the people for
the clerk Of the court was in 1851
when Burr J. Ramage became clerk,
and he held the Office until 1868.

Death of Mrs. Frank L. Feagle.

On Thursday evening the sad INTEL
igence Of the death of Mrs. Frank
L. Feagle, which had occurred at her
home in Greenville that evening about
6:45 o'clock, was 'phoned to her rela-
tives in this ely.
Mrs. Feagle had been i'll for several
weeks, but up until few hours Of her
death it was hoped that her life would
be spared to her husband, and little
children, and other loved ones.
Mrs. Feagle, before her marriage,
was Miss Nellie McFall. She was a
daughter Of the late Captain J. Y.
McFall, who was a brave Confederate
soldier and at one time was clerk Of
the court Of Newberry county, and
who was for long time engaged in
mercantile business in this city. She
was half sister to Mr.. John NJ. Kin
ard, president of the Commercial bank
and Of DR.. James P. Kinard, of Win
throp college, and a full sister Of
Messrs. ". A. and Jesse Y. MeFan.
and Mrs. C. J. Purcell, Of this place.
AS Miss Nellie McFall she made
.Iewberry her home all during her life
until her marriage, and she was
known and loved by the entire COM
munity for her sweet, bright and
CHEEKY disposition, and her many fine
traits of character. Some. ten years
ago she graduated at Winthrop col
lege, and after her graduation was a
successful teacher. For three years
prior to her marriage, she was teach
er in the graded schools at this place.
Four years ago last October she wa-
married to Mr.. Frank L. Feagle, OF
this county, and they have since made
their home in Greenville, where Mr..
Feagle is in business.
The remains were brought to New
berry over the c., n. e. l.. road Fri
day afternoon, and from the station
were carried to the home Of her Sis
ter, Mrs. Purcell, wn2re the funeral
service was held, being conducted BY
the Rev. George A. Wright, amidst
large concourse Of sorrowing friends.
The floral tributes were numerous
and very beautiful, one being a beal:-
tifully arranged bouquet Of white car
nations which was sent by the senior
class Of Winthrop college.
Besides her husband and other rela-
tives Mrs. Feagle's death is peculiar
" sad in that she leaves three little
children, one being an infant about
three weeks old. The children have
been brought to Newberry and will
make their home here with her sister
and brothers.
The sympathy Of the entire COM
munity goes out to the heart broken
husband in this great sorrow that has
come to him, as we'll as to Mrs. Fea-
gIe's other relatives. It is indeed sad
that while in the very bloom Of her
young womanhood she should have
been called away from those who
needed her so much. but her true and
unselfish love and devotion to those
she has left as we'll as her strong.
sweet personality will ever remain as
cherished memory.
