Bankers pointed out- however, that this prohibition would not hold if British investors saw fit to forward their participations di- rect to this country.
 Leading shares were under pressure most of the session, but declines in that group were merely nominal. Move lncnts in certain Specialties, particular ly Mexican Petroleum, excited adverse comment, but were otherwise without effect.

While our sister town of John
ston feels very keenly the loss sus-
tanned through the death of Mr..
Tillman r. Denny, the loss is not
confined to Johnston. Edgefeld and
the entire county share in the loss.
Mr.. Denny had but few peers. A
generation does not produce many
men like him. Every phase of the
community life of Johnston owes
much TO Mr.. Denny's life and infiu-
ence. Without his helpful influence
all down through the years, john

and his fellow man during his
earthly probation, Mr.. Denny has

Death of Mrs. c. M. Horn.

The many friends of Mrs. G. M.
Horn of the Mt. Zion community
were grieved to learn of her death
at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning Sep
tember 81.
Though she had been a continual
sufferer for many months, she only
took her bed week before her
death. Before her marriage to Mr..
Milledge Horn she was Miss jose
phine Donald.
If she had lived until December
next she and Mr.. Horn would have
been married 40 years. At the time
of her death Mrs. Horn was in her
list year. The funeral services were
conducted at the Horn residence
Wednesday morning September %.
Her remains were laid to rest in the
Whitlock cemetery where those Of
one of her sisters had been placed
only few months ago. Among the
numerous floral offerings bropoht
by loving hands was beautiful
bouquet from her own garden.
The deceased is survived by her
husband and one sister, Mrs. John
Whitlock. Mr.. and Mrs. Horn had
mo children, though they ably rear
ed two orphan girls, Mrs. Bannum
of Aiken and Mrs. Fannie Horn of
Augusta. For many years Mrs. Horn
had been faithful and active men,
Der of Mt. Zion Baptist church.
Through all the years of her long
life Mrs. Horn was a beacon light
in our community. Her daily life
was marked by patience, gentleness
and charity towards every one.
Her broken hearted husband wish.
es to express his thanks to those
who stood by his wife's bedside
during her last painful hours. Sure
ly the deepest sympathy of all who
know him goes out to Mr.. Horn in
this hour of unutterable grief and
loneliness.
Her suffering ended with the day
Yet lived she at its close,
And breathed the long, long night
away
In statue-like repose.
! But when the sun in all his state
Illuminel the eastern skies,
She passed through glory's morning
gate
And walked in Paradise"
