GOOD WOMAN GONE TO REWARD
Mrs. Narcissa Patterson, Aged "a,
Passed Peacefully Away.

Jocassee, Sept, 22.-Special: Mrs.
Narcissa Jane Patterson, wife of Jas.
Patterson, of Jocassee, died very sud-
denly Sunday morning, September
goth, of heart failure.
Mrs. Patterson was "a years old,
but in very good health. Sitting on
her front porch Sunday morning,
leaning back against the wall, she
died without a struggle. She leaves
a husband and eight children to
mourn her death. She was a kind,
loving wife and mother, loved and
respected by all who knew her. She
had been consistent member of the
Baptist church for over sixty years,
joining the church when quite young,
and was always ready and willing to
make any sacrifice for the cause OF
Christ. Her remains were laids to
rest by loving hands in the Mount
Carmel cemetery on Monday evening,
the 21st, at A o'clock. She will be
greatly missed in her community, in
her church and in her home, but her
loved ones will be drawn nearer to
heaven, for they have the sweet as
surarcc that while her body rests in
It's bed OF earth her soul Is reclining
in the bosom Of God.
Life! We've been long together,
Through pleasant and cloudy wea-
ther.
'Tis hard to part when friends are
dear
Perhaps twill cost a sigh, tear;
Then steal away, give little warning;
Choose thine own time:
Say not Good Night, but in some
brighter cline
Bid us good morning."

Vedder Sitton was all the pumpkin
in the deciding game Of the Southern
league championship race Saturday.
The Pendleton boy put it all over
Brienstein, the one-time big Lacquer,
who had won 20 games out of 25 he
had worked in for New Orleans this
season.
Sitton gave up four hits. famed
nine Pelicans, made one assist, walk
ed two, made one put-out and got q
hit
Brlenstein gave up eight hits to
the men of Nashville, gave one free
ticket to first base, struck out three
and made three assists. SO it can
be seen that the ex-South Atlantic
" pitcher had the goods aud handed the
Frank outfit a shut-out and gave a
base ball pennant to Nashville.
Young Sitton Is son of M. N. Sit
ton, Of Pendleton, and received his
ball training when a student at Glenn
son. He Is also fine foot ball
player. He has been drafted by the

crucible to be melted into gold bullion

'The light coins may be rendered
light in the ordinary course of abrasion

MUSICAL SOUNDS.
Thinking Them as One Does Letters
and Words Is Not Difficult

To acquire the habit of thinking mu-
steal sounds. as one does letters and
words, is not difficult task. In fact,
to one who undertakes it seriously
there is no difficulty greater than that
of learning to read literature. The
usual method of tuition, which teaches
the pupil to regard this that or the
other note as identical with certain
positions on his instrument, is not one
best calculated to make him an eff
fcient and intelligent reader. He new
er attains to independence in musical
thought, but must ever refer to his
instrument before he can form a fairly
accurate conception of the musical
story that lies silent on the page be-
fore him.
AS child may learn to read the al
phabet, to form letters into words and
thence into sentences and so on. Just
so may the music student learn to
combine and use the notes before him.
Strange as it may appear, the study
of reading music may be carried on
mentally For instance, while | think
of melody my mind traces its flow
and all the paraphernalia of the staff
and notation appear as the melody
passes away into time. | realize the
clef, time, and key signatures, bar
lines, rhythmic divisions, and in mo-
ment | transfer the thought to paper
People in general are accustomed to
the transference of their ordinary
thoughts to papers and by constant
practice the labor of transmittal from
brain to paper is minimized so greatly
as to appear almost automatic in per-
Torrance. Whatever of laborious eff
fort appear in the process of writing
music is the result of want of prac-
tice and not that this form Of writing
is really or intrinsically more difficult
than writing in words, or demands
any greater mental or manual effort
Tk1 mind is here master and directs
the operations of the hand; and both
gain facility from the practice which
comes of thinking music.-Musician.
