In MEMORIAM.

Another hand is beckoning us,
Another call is given;
Ana glows once more with Angel
steps
The path which reaches Heaven"
In the sweet morning time of her
useful, beautiful life, gentle lovely Lii
Liam Bolt was called to LAY down the
cross and wear the crown" To us who
can anly "see through glass darkly"
it was most mysterious, most pathet-
ic. She had chosen the noble, unset
fish life of a trained nurse; last fall
received her diploma and entered up
on regular service. At the post of
duty, beside the sick bed of patient
she was nursing in Columbia, she be-
came i'll and was taken to the hospit-
al.
All that the splendid skill of fine
surgeons and the tender ministration
of trained nurses and her devoted
family was done for her, but in vain;
her life work was done. After four
weeks Of intense suffering she was
called cup higher"
She loved her work and wished to
recover, but realizing that this could
not be, calmly placed her hands in

and the grave its victory; all was we'll

Her remains were brought to her
home in this city and her classmates
OF three years ago all robed in white
followed the hearse rs honorary pail
bearers. Her young cousins were the
active pall-bearers: Allan Barksdale,
Laurens Barksdale, Clyde Franks,
Clyde Fowler, Boyce Clardy and Tom
Bolt.
The beautiful burial services were
conducted by her pastor, Rev. Edwin
Thayer and her favorite songs, Abide
with me. Sweet Peace, and Shall we
Gather at the River, were sung by
members of the choir from the differ
ent churches. Then the low red
mound was covered with the sweet
flowers Of the May-time.
1--WE miss her in the place Of prayer
And by the hearth-fire's light;
We pause beside her door to hear
Once more her sweet Good night
Alone unto our Fathers will
One thought hath reconciled;
That He, whose love eXceedeth ours
Hath taken Home His child.
Fold her, oh Father! in Thine arms
And let her hence forth be
A messenger of love between
Our human hearts and Thee"

SUNDAY CLOSING

Several Ministers of the City Make
Investigations and Find that Sunday
Closing, as Practiced in Larger Cit.

les WOulu not AneCt LaurenS Office.
Following the publicity given the
matter Of Sunday closing of certain
departments Of Post Offices in larger
cities and the calling for an express
sion of opinion on the subject from
the people of this city by Postmaster
Hicks. Rev Mr.. Rankin and Rev Mr..
MCGEE, at the suggestion of the Kings
Daughters, held a consultation on
the matter and came to the con
clusion, as will be gathered below.
that the closing as practiced in the
larger cities could not be put in force
to advantage here. AS the letter of
Mr. Rankin, written to Mrs. c. w.
Tune of the Kings daughters explains
the matter quite fully 1t is printed be-
low. The following is what Mr.. Ran
kin had to say about it:
Mr.. Dear Mrs. Tune: In regard to
your communication of recent date
from the Kings Daughters, with ref
erence to Sunday closing of the mails
at our Post office here, | would say.
that Mr.. MCGEE and took UP the
matter with Mr.. Hicks, the Postmaster.
and he in turn with the Department
at Washington to see what the Gov
ernment offered in this matter, and
he reports to me this morning. that
the Government offers nothing that
Will make it worth our while to take
any steps in that direction. The De-
partment requires the distribution of
mails to the boxes, and the delivery
window to be opened at stated hours
for hotel men and visitors, and for
any one demanding emergency" mail.
The Sunday closing, that is agitated in
the cities, only has reference to car
riers windows, and the general deliv-
cry. AS we have no carriers windows
here, and our general delivery win
dow is already closed on Sundays ex-
cept at certain hours, just after in
coming mails, and as most of our peo-
pie get their mails through the boxes,
the ruling Of the Department with ref
erence to Sunday closing does not ben
eft us at all, or change the present
states Of affairs.
This had been my understanding of
the department ruling. is the reason
why 1 had not taken some steps in
the matter before. The only thing
that is left for our Christian people to
do, is to voluntarily decline to take
their mail out of the boxes on the
Lords day.

ton Of the Kings Daughters with the

PREPARATIONS BEGUN
FOR FALL BAZAAR
Suggestions Made That the Bazaar be
Held During the County Fair and
Thus Iniuse Life Into Both.

The ladies of the Methodist and
Presbyterian churches have begun
preparations for the annual Fall Ba-
zaar. 1t will be held this year some
time i'm the first part of November,
probably during the first week but ii
is yet unknown how long it will last,
At the last meeting of the ladies in
terested, the matter of having it dur
ing the County Fair was discussed,
but no definite plans were made to
that effect. 1t was pointed out at
the meeting that Il large number of
fpeople would be here that day who
Swould have to have dinners anyhow
and who, unless such conveniences
were provided, would probably go
without. 1t was also pointed out that
as in many other county fairs, the
flower exhibit could be made very
important part Of the fair itself and
would prove quite a drawing card for
the ladies of the county, for the plans
of the county fair organizers do not
call for anything especially appealing
TO the ladies. The bazaar this wear
is expected to Surpass all former ones.

that afford material verification of
the soundness upon which Mr..
Johnson's efforts are based. He
has selected certain families of
horses, and he has blended
the blood of individual members
of same, with a success which is
impossible of successful contra
diction. The causes for the selec-
ton of these particular families
are not pertinent to the present
purpose, it being sufficient to say
that the families at the head of
