DEATH OF WILLIAM 6. pEDnN.
Leading Business Man anl Stauncl,
Citizen Passed Away Last Night.

News of the. death Of William G.
Peden, which occurred at his home
in Westminster at 1890 o'clock last
night, was received in Walhalla this
morning 1t will be quite shock
to his many friends here and
throughout the county to learn OF
his passing away, though it was gem
orally known he had been confined
to his home with typhoid fever for
several weeks.
Mr. Peden was senior member of
the firm OF w. G. Peden & Co., mer-
chants, of Westminster, and was one
OF the leading business men hnd
most influential citizens Of that
town, and was a power for good in
his community. He had friends
wherever he was known, and will be
greatly missed by all.
Mr. Peden was consistent mems
Der of the Westminster presbyte.
rian church, and leader in that de-
nomination. He is survived by a
wife and four children, to whom the
sympathy Of many friends Is ex-
tended.
The interment will take place at
Westminster this afternoon at $50
O'Clock. Rev. M. e. Peabody will

ter time if 1t had been necessary
When we came IN sight Of the finish
we were glad to see the Richland
banner waving from our wagon.
Richards banner was white field
with large black "R" In center, with
eight black stars circling around and
representing the eight runners in
the race. This made a splendid ap-
pearance in the distance. Richland
wore her victory very modestly, only
the girls (bless 'em) being little
bit noisy. And Seneca accepted her
defeat quite gracefully and we were
glad to see the two teams and
schools mingle together with such
hearty good will and splendid feel
ing, and we will be glad to see Sen
eca win her victory from some other
school. But honestly we will do our
very best in an unassuming way to
follow up our victory with other vic
tories. Already the Richland boys
feel a stingng sensation in their
"calves" as If spurs were growing
there, but they are not disposed to
crow any yet. The tine Of the race
was 30 minutes and 10 seconds.
