The Courier is in receipt Of a
letter from +. B. Kelley, of Chicago,
formerly of Tdmassee. this county
He is a son Of T. NJ. Kelley, of Ia
maseee. In his letter Mr.. Kelley
takes occasion to say that the wea-
Their in his section Of Illinois has
been hot and dry, and that Chicago
is in the midst Of preparations for
voting on the question Of the elimi-
nation of the saloons from her midst.
I'VE have" he SAYS. 5000 saloons,
and you can imagine the effect upon
the young men here" Mr.. Kelley is
now employed in the mammoth es-
tablishment of Sears, Roebuck & Co.,
Of Chicago, and says that he is de-
lighted with his place.
The dry weather is becoming
alarming to many Of the farmers of
Oconee, but still there are those who
find consolation in the fact that they
are not hurt badly yet. One Of these
is J. T. Davis, who lives on Wallalla
r. +. d. No. 1. Mr.. Davis says that
he is needing rain, but that he is
working his crops regularly and
they are not suffering to any great
extent. His oats have been injured
to some extent, "but,' he said, Il
have a good stand Of cotton n it is
looking fine. My corr isn't hurting
yet and | keep working my crops"
This is one Of the seasons when
every farmer and business man
needs to take out active membership
in the "D0n't Worry Club"
The announcement last Sunday
morning OF the death OF Mrs. O.. II.

to many friends here. Mrs. Schu-

former strength, and friends hoped
that her health was being gradually
restored. Early Sunday morning,
however, she suffered a sudden and
severe attack, and within a few mo-
ments from the time assistance
reached her she breathed her last.

age. She had been twice married,
her first husband being Henry d.
Meiburg, of Charleston, with whom
she was united in marriage January
IS, 1872, and to this union four chill
dren we're born, three of whom
| Miss Anna and Hampton Meiburg,
Of Walhalla, and Harry Meiburg. OF.
Arkansas - survive. Her second
marriage (April 10th. 1884, at Char
leston,) was to Otto II. Schumacher,
who, with five children, survives.
The children are Otto H., Jr., George
and John Schumacher, Miss Bertha
Schumacher and Mrs. Katie White,
all of Walhalla. Mrs. Schum&cher's
maiden name was Anna Magfcta So
phia Rieppe. She was born in Char.
lesion September II, 1853. One SIS
ter, Mrs. G.. II. Mehrtens, OF Charles
ton, also survives, and she reached
