Death Of Miss Minnie Chopper

Early last Sunday morning the Death
Angel entered the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Elbrihge J. cropper, of Bishopville. and
removed from their midst their beloved
daughter. Minnie. She was most esti-
mable young lady, and all who enjoyed
herIfrieRdship were impressed with her
optimistic views of life. and cheered by
her never failing goodnature and sunny
disposition. 1t was with much grief
that her friends early in the winter real
lied that her life was despaired of, and
her spirit of cheerfulness led many to
believe that the end might yet be a
great way Off, but gradually her life
ebbed out. and while the current was
strong against her. she was able to take
the hand of gentle and loving Saviour,
Whose strong arm did not fail her. even
in death. Her home life was ideal, and
her devotion to her loved ones was be-
yond compare. The deepest sympathy
is felt for the relatives, from the aged
grandmother, between whom and the
deceased there existed sacred bond Of
love and devotion. to the baby brother,
who enjoyed her special care and favor.
Impressive funeral services were held
in the NJ. f. Church. South. in charge
of her pastor. Rev. J. II. Valiant, as
sisted by Rev. w. G. Harris. of the NJ.
z. Church. after which her body was
laid to rest in the family plot in the Odd
Fellows Cemetery.

TO not only insure power for its own

mine for fuNinE purposes, the company
may ultimately he able 10 supply its en-
