Her Goal Reached.

| One of the most beautiful lives it has
been our good fortune TO observe was
bourne away to her eternal home at
early morn Sunday 9th inst. Mrs. Fanny
Jane McFaddin. .relict OF the late Joseph
Sydney McFaddin: in the l3rd year OF
her age. peacefully passed out o: this
life at the home OF Mrs. NJ. i. Sauis.
one OF her daughters, in Manning. She
came to Manning from her country
home to spend few days with Mrs. J.
II. Hawkins. i daughter, and on Satur-
day went TO the home OF Mrs. Sauls to
be near church to attend the service in
the morning. That night she retired
in her usual health but about midnight
complained OF feeling unweli: her ply
sic;an was sent for and he promptly ad-
ministered. and remained with her until
about two O'Clock: her condition seemed
improved. he left, a little later she said
she was not comfortable, and her SON
in-law DR.. J. II. Hawkins raised her up,
and she sweetly passed away.
The deceased was a grand woman,
devoted to her children, friends and
relatives, and their name is legion, for
she was connected by blood and mar
riaee tc most of the old families in this
and adjoining counties: she was loved
and respected oy all. Mrs. McFaddin
was woman OF strong pietv. devoted
TO her religion, il was part OF her life:
p faithful member of the Presbyterian
church from early childhood, ano, n
which, she brought up her large family
OF children. Her husband who pre-
deceased her in 1881 was q prominent
citizen and an Elder in this church.
The surviving children are J. S. Nc
Faddin. of Baltimore: J. Mcdowell
McFaddin, Mrs. S. J. Dwight. of East
over: Mrs. NJ. L. Sauls, Mrs. ". T.
Lesesne, Mrs. J. H. Hawkins, c. A.
McFaddin, Jack NJ McFaddin, Misses
Minnie and Sue NcFaddin,
Her surviving brothers and sisters
are: Messrs. c. r. Harvin, W. S.
Haryin. A. G. Harvin, Mesdames S. A.
Nelson. Joseph Bates, of Columbia, J.
II. Hammer. of Gadsden, J. P. Brock,
O. Panola
The funeral was largely attended in
the Presbyterian church, and the serv-
ice was conducted by the pastor Rev.
A. r. Woodson, who reviewed the life
of this sanity mother. and pointed out
to the bereaved the consoling thought
that her life's ambition has been full
filled, the goal for which she oattled
through life has been reached. and that
now she sits on the right hand OF the
Throne; the music was solemnly beauti-
full and seemed a rehearsal of the heav-
enly life of the departed, who, although
no longer herein the flesh, is here IN
spirit to guide and care for her loved
ones who some day will join her IL the
world beyond.
The pallbearers were four grandsons
and two nepbews. Messrs. y. D. Nc
Faddin, OF Columbia: Sydney Dwight,
of Eastover; Allen and Austin Sauls,

funeral service was concluded at the
grave in the Manning cemetery by Rev.

lovely.

The Automobile.

In some respects the automobile is
the. most marvellous machine the world
has yet seen. 1t can go anywhere at
any time, Aoundering through two feet
Of snow, ford any stream that isn't
deep enough to drown out the mag
neto, triumph over mud axle deep,
Jump fences and cavort over plowed
ground at fifteen miles an hour. 1t
has been used with brilliant success in
various kinds Of hunting, including
coyote coursing On the prairies Of Col
orado, where it can run all around the
broncho, formerly in favor, since it neT-
er runs any risk Of breaking leg in
prairie dog hole. Educated automo-
biles have been trained to shell corn,
saw wood, pump water, churn, plow,
and, in short, do anything required Of
them, except figure out where the con-
sumer gets off under the tariff law

The Jerboa and the Melons.

An odd fact relative to little Afr1-
can melon is thus related by an OIL
cial Of Khartum:
The ierboa or kangaroo rat is found
in considerable numbers in places miles
and miles away from any water Or
even dew, and l vas at loss to un-
derstand how tnese little animals could
exist through the ten months OF
drought. 1t appears, however, that
after the scanty rains small wild
melon Of bitter caste, but full of juice,
fourishes in the desert. The jerboa,
as soon as the melon is ripe, bites off
the stem and proceeds to dig away
the sand under the melon, so that it
gradually sinks below the level of the
ground. The constant wind soon COW
ers it with six to eight inches of sand,
which protects it from the scorching
sun and from drying up. When all
other moisture has evaporated the jer-
boa goes to his larder and drinks the
Juice Of the melon till the rains come
on again. One jerboa will bury as
many as forty Of these little melons
to last him through the dry season.

Of seventy seven members to King
Taldenar to demand Increased rights
and privileges in their trade with Den

drove Of geese and clapped them
into prison in the tower, telling them
they would stay there until they learn
ed better manners. Over the heavy
tower door the king put up a stone
with the inscriptions:
Sieben und siebenteg Eause:
Sieben und siebenteg Ganse;
Ware nicht so viele Eause
Hat ich auch NIGHT so viele Ganse.
Translated this reads: Seventy

If there were not so many houses

stands solid and strong, was placed a
