The Editor returned on Monday
IN rning from weeks visit to Wash
ington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and
New York. This trip was one that
we had long hored to make, and hav-
ing arranged our business satisfacto-
sraNy before leaving home, the trip
was one continued round Of pleasure.
1t is impossible to attempt to describe
the many incidents of the trip, as it
would consume too much space. In
Baltimore and New York we met q
number OF friends, who extended
many courtesies, all of which were
fully appreciated, and helped to add
all the more to our pleasures and en-
Ioyments. The whole trip was grand,
each place adding new pleasures to
the week. We went out over the
Southern and returned by the Sea-
board road. We ar7 now back at our
post, working with renewed vigor,
hoping that good fortune will again at
no dist mt day, allow US to make a
similar trip.

called to meet at BrOokland on last
Saturday was only attended by few
people. It was agreed by those pres
rent to get out petitions a order to
have an election hold.
The meeting at Irmo on Monday

columbia, the "high muck-a-muck'
Of the scheme, was present and was
as officlous as he was at the New
Beookland meeting. II Mr.. Brooker
succeeds iii this undertaking it will be
the first time that he has ever sue
ueeded in any movement Of political
character.
:. Next week we will have something to
say on the subject. and in the main
time our pee pie should be slow to take
action in this matter

The present board elect are, with
few exceptions, the same that were
elected three years ago, and at least
the ruling power Of this same board
has been reelected each year since;
and now It seems a little queer to
hear them trying to excuse them
selves at this late hour, that they had
just walked up last year, about De
cember 81, from their long sleep and
were sorry they hadn't done much
before.
Well, so are we, and I suppose
that If the phone and stockholders
had not kept punching them from
time to time they would still be nap

have produced some effect, perhaps
a little more lacking up will be in

After a short illness caused by
pneumonia, Ed T. Perry, one of our
most respected citizens, passed away
Saturday, a few minutes after 12
O'Clock. Mr.. Perry was an honest,
upright man and kind neighbor and
will be greatly missed from among
us. He leaves to mourn his loss a
wife and small children, who have
the heartfelt sympathy Of the entire
community. His remains were laid
to rest in the Missouri Flat cemetery.
One of the amusing things that
sometimes take place occurred at the
annual telephone meeting held at
Provolt on the 10th instant, in the
form of ratifying an act of the direc-
tors. The board having found them
selves in need of funds, had levied
an extra assessment of telephone
dues on phone holders for last Octo-
Der, November and December, and
when their right to make such levy
was questioned their act was referred
to the house for ratification; which
was done amid great applause. AS
the company's constitution provides
that the fixing of monthly telephone
dues shall be made by a two-third'
ballot of all the stockholders, anC
there being less than one-half of tht
stockholders represented at the meet
ing, we fail to see anything to ap
plaud-unless it's the effort to legal
ize one illegal act by introducing an
other. BUSTER BROWN

who gave them their being here will
deal Justly with them in the here
after. The God who created the
heavens above us and the earth be-
meath us and gave us our existence
as intelligent beings, is too wise and
too good to deal unjustly with his
own children Wisdom and good
ness and mercy and love are the at
tributes of God, and though we may
not now understand the mysteries Of
life and death, there is time coming
when we shall understand and be
satisfied. This is my faith, this is
my hope, and this is that which en-
courages me to higher and better at
tainments here in this world
These scenes of sorrow may be the
means of making us better men and
women. It is here that we are forci-
bly, reminded that this world is full
of sorrow and suffering and disap-
pointments, and are made to feel the
great need of doing what we can tc
make this world a more pleasant
place in which to live.
Our brother has been a man among
men. He has made use of the oppor
tunitiac which Cod hoe given hir,,
And now having laid aside this earth
ly body which has been subject tC
disease and suffering, let us hope
that he will now take to himself {
spiritual body that will not be sub
ject to the infirmities of earth. I be
lieve that even this life is worth liv
ing, and I believe that what we cal
death is but the beginning of high
er and better life.
