As Frances Elizabeth Kirkland,
Mrs. Edwards was born in Barnwell
county, s. C.. seventy-six years ago.
She came 10 Marion county as girl
and had her home here ever since.
She first married Mr.. Jones Nixon,
and some years after his death. in the
year 1867. she was united in marriage
TO Mr.. Judson Edwards. who died nine
years ago.
Mrs. Edwards is survived by FIVE
children. viz: MIR. Norton Edwards,
Mr.. William ]. Edwards. Mr.. John l.,
Edwards. Mr.. l.. X. Edwards and Mrs.
Henry ID. Stokes.
Since the death of her husband
Mrs. Edwards has made her home
with her daughter. Mrs. Stokes, who
nursed her with the most extreme de-
yotion through her long siege of pros
tration from a stroke of paralysis sew
en- months ago.
It Is some consolation TO know that
she was permitted to round out a full
measure OF life, and all along its path
way was happy and persistent in the
distribution OF the flowers of affec-
ton. She was permitted to enjoy
life's beautiful dawn, its morning
hour OF brightness, its noontide of
splendor as well as its heat and bur-
den, and It's evening of rest and re-
pose, and as night closed around her
she was willing to draw the curtains
and join the innumerable throng that
have gone before.
Mrs. Edwards united with the Bap-
fist church in early girlhood. and in
her daily walk in life exemplified its
teachings and its faith. and she was
blessed In that she had the satisfac-
ton OF seeing all of her children ad-
monished by her teachings, unite
with the same denomination.
The funeral was held from the Bap-
fist church yesterday at three o'clock.
Rev. Bunyan Stephens officiated and
Messrs. McIver and MacKay had
charge OF the arrangements. The
burial was i'm Greenwood cemetery.
In their bereavement the sympathy
of this paper goes out in sorrow to
the family. and as the still small
voice" brought peace and happiness
20 her may il bring consolation to
them.

A Sporting Offer.

| - OfOIS'iiS OhSfs
Some two hours later, that same
evening, Mr.. Alan Law, very much
alive and, in spite of a complete new
outfit of ready-made clothing, looking
much more like himself than he had
in fortnight, issued forth from the
Grand Central station, hailed a taxi
cab. and had himself conveyed to the
Hotel Monolith.
/ But if he looked his proper self once
more, it speedily was demonstrated
that his wish was otherwise: for after
learning from the room-clerk of the
Monolith that suite was being held
in the name of Arthur Lawrence, that
was the name Mr. Law inscribed on
the register
On the other hand, it was his true
name that he gave to the person whom
he called upon the telephone immedi-
ately after being shown to his rooms.
But then he was speaking to his old
friend and man of business, Mr.. Digby.
Within another ten minutes this last
was in conference with his employer:
ct think you must be out of your
head" he insisted nervously,. once
their first greetings were over. "You
might just as sensibly throw yourself
from the top Of the Metropolitan tower
as come to New York while Trine lives
and knows you're this side the water"
s'Nonsense!" Alan laughed. "Remem-.
Der this is New York--not the back
woods of Maine!"
Alan paused and smote his palm
with a remorseful fist. "By the Eter-
nal, I'm forgetting Barcus!"
"Barcus?"
"Chap whose boat l chartered in
Portland-sheer luck on my part: he's
one of the salt of the arth First,
something must be done for the boy.
You've got influence Of some sort in
New Bedford, surely?"
Digby reflected: Some There's
George Blaine, justice Of the peace"
"The very man. Telegraph him In
Barcus' interests Immediately And
telegraph Barcus as well-send him
q hundred for expenses, and tell him
to Join me here In New York as quick
as he can!"
"Your friends address?" Digby in
quired, mildly ironic as he sat down
at the desk and fumbled with the sup-
ply of stationery.
