1t was the afternoon of the day be-

of holiday.

"Much you care about that. Go and
ride with your wife," said the girl. and
flung away from him.
The last few weeks had filed out her
thin figure. but she still bore traces OF
her illness. Her short hair was curled
over her head. She looked curiously
boyish, almost sexless.

She repeated 1t over and over. 1t came
as a cry from the depths Of the girls

"She has had so little Of life" she
said, over and over. $50 little! Just

And finally X. took It up.
"After all, Sidney" he said, "the

Anna died a little after midnight, n

During all that long evening she had

Death of MIR. S. M. Strom.

Friday last Mr.. S. NJ. Strom
passed away at the home of his
brother-in-law, Mr.. Thomas E,
Byrd. He has been in feeble health
for more than a year. He spent some
time in Edgefeld with his sister.
Mrs. Logan, and his friends here
were greatly distressed over his
steady decline. He went 10 the hos
pital for special treatment some
months ago but nothing could stay
the steady progress of the disease
that had taken a fatal grip upon
him. Mr.. Strom was quiet and un-
obstructive in his manner and for
that reason was known best and APP
preciated most by those in closest
association with him. He was reared
and spent his long life of 60 or 63
years practically in the same com,
munity in which he died. Mr.. Strom
was never married. The funeral was
conducted at Gilgal church Friday
by the pastor, Rev. P. B. Lanham.

Letter From Hardys.

As my time is limited will only
write a little.
We were called to attend the fun.
eral of another of our dear old Ia
dies last Saturday. Miss Fannie
Lanier passed away Friday morning
at seven o'clock. Very peacefully
she fell asleep after a short illness.
Was conscious to the last. Talked
of her garden the day before her
death, and said since she had not
been able to look after it the grass
had taken possession of it. She
has been feeble for some time,
though not confined constantly to
her room. Always took an active
interest IN all that was going on
around. All who knew her, loved
her. She was a gentle, lovely
Christian lady, and has gone to meet
the loved ones, who have waited so
long for her coming. She leaves
two sisters, Mrs. Mat Shaw and
Miss Melvie Lanier to mourn her
loss, and many nieces and nephews.
She will be greatly missed By them.
We are sorry to hear of Miss
Mary TONNES being Sick with ma
laria and chllls. She is able to be
up again.
Mrs. Milton Barker has been
complaining, but is better.
Mrs. j. NJ. w. Glover has been
quite sick. but is improving some,
and we hope will soon be herself
again.

who are visiting her, and they
furnished most beautiful music for
the enjoyment of the guests. of
course there were delicious refresh,
ments as we'll as music. We all
know the Lyon family are specially
gifted musicians, and would love so
much to hear them all together once
again. We hope Miss Daisy has
been heard from since the floods,
and she is all right.

Walls Collapse; No One Injured.

The east wall of the Bivens build
ing on West Main Street, occupied
by NJ. r. Lauder, fell outward this
morning near the noon hour, and had
it not been for the fact that work
men who were putting down the foun-
dation for the new i'rlncess Theatre
had but a short time before been
transferred to the other side of the
proposed building several workmen
might have been injured. As it was
no one was hurt. Excavation has
been going on for the new theatre
for some time and it Is thought that
this weakened the wall or the adjoin-
ing building. Mr.. Lauder is transfer
ing his stock to the other side of the
building, the roof is being braced to
prevent falling, and the wall will be
replaced as speedily as possible.
