This is the season of the year
when the defective flu gets in its

cold weather makes heavier fires
necessary, with the result that if
the flu becomes overheated the
fire quickly spreads and there is
a heavy loss even before the ar
rival of the fire department. Elk.

One of the queer epitaphs in
the graveyard of Old St. PauPs
church at Norfolk, Va, reads
Behold my grave, how low | lie!
AS you are now, so once was |;
As | am now, so must you be.
Then be prepared to follow me"
It is said that during the Civil
war a soldier was responsible for
scratching on the tomb with his
saber the additional lines:
ITO follow you | am not bent
Until | know which way you
went"

Dear Reader: Our last article had
reference to those of the craft who
died in military service, while others
ceased from their labors since the
strife.
In speaking of Mr. Hugh Wilson,
our foreman, he did not gain any
prominence in the public eye until
he changed his abode and cast his lot
at .Abbeville. 1t was at this place
that he entered the literary field,
and after. becoming editor of his
county paper was when he displayed
his ability as writer. He took a
deep interest in his work, and on
many an occasion we have observed
the newspaper that was guided by
his mastery hand. He was a fear
less writer, and there were a good
many in our young days who took
a pride in reading his thoughts as
they flowed from his facile pen. Be-
ing an expert in the art of printing,
he was quite an acquisition to any
office, and by his activity he was
enabled to teach others who were
under his guidance. There is no
telling how many have sat under his
feet years ago so he could impart to
each one valuable instruction from
his well stored mind. Then again,
how many he has placed upon the
road to success in this world, time
alone can tell.
Having received an able compen-
saton for his labor years ago and as
old age was creeping on, he has ac-
cumulated enough means on hand
to keep the wolf from his door. Like
the old patriarch of old, he silently
waited for the change. He laid aside
his stick and rule, and composed him
self in minggling with his friends
and take life at his ease. Before the
summons came he had not forgotten
his kindred, nor other benefactors,
and like Job of old, he was soon
gathered to his fathers.
The writer had the privilege sew
erai Yeas ago to visit him at his
home at AbbeviIle. He lived a soil

Marriage of His Daughter.
The marriage of Mr.. Carnegie's
only daughter, Margaret, on April
%, to Ensign Roswell Miller, Z. S.
NJ, was the last social affair the
aged philanthropist and peace advo-
cate attended here. The ceremony
was performed at Mr.. Carnegie's
town house in the presence Of 100
guests, the bride standing in floral
bower, with Scotch bagpipes play
ing, in accordance with her fathers
wishes.
The bridegroom, son of aformer
president of the Chicago, Milwaukee

course when war was declared. In
1915 he left Stevens institute in Ho-
boken, where he was taking course
in civil engineering to drive an am
bulance in France, and when the
United States became involved en-
tered the navy as an ensign.
It was said at the time of the we'd
ding that after the honeymoon, Mr..
Miller and his bride would go to
Princeton, N. j., where he would
complete his studies before entering
upon professional career. The
former Miss Carnegie, heiress of her
fathers millions, is % years old. Her
husband is two years her senior.
Holder of Numerous Honors.
Mr.. Carnegie at the time of his
death was the holder of numerous
honors and decorations bestowed
upon him by rulers and peoples over
all the world. He received, as re-
suit of his benefactions abroad, the
freedom of fifty-four cities in Great
Britain and Ireland. Although, he
endowed 5000 municipal libraries in
the United States, in addition to his
other numerous philanthropic enter
prises.
He was lord rector of St. Andrews
university from 1908 to 1907, and of
Aberdeen university from 1912 to
1914, and held the honorary degree
of doctor of laws from the Universe
ty of Glasgow, Edinburgh, Birming-
ham, Manchester, McGill, Brown,
Pennsylvania, Cornell and other

numerous philosophical, civic and
bodies, among them the
American Institute of Architects,
the American Society Of Mechanical
Engineers, the American Institute
of Mining Engineers, the National
Civic Federation, the American
society and the New
York Chamber of Commerce. He

thors, Lotos, St. Andrews, Riding

was a sad day when my instructor
was taken away He was not only
missed in his home town, where he
dwelt so many years, but he was
missed by a host Of readers who felt
they have lost friend indeed He
is silently sleeping in that town
where his life work was done, and
there are a good many who miss that
manly form as it appeared on the
streets years ago.
AS we have already alluded to
the printers of the ante bellum times
whose name is legion, let US take a
birds eye view of the situation and
retrace our remarks down to the
present time, and speak of those who
came into existence since the civil
war. Here you will find B. C. Du-
Pre-, who is still living, but he is not
connected with the craft now. Then
came John Norrell, T. H. Roberts,
w. j. Bonner, and others. Then
names of some of these have gone
down to oblivion now, but their
memory fingers with US still, and ap-
pears like an aroma which casts it's
fragrance all around
In the course of events others
came in to fill the places of absent
ones. Then came T. V. Miller, from
the farm, to cast his lot with us, and
to become one of the craft. Like
others in this world, it seemed that
fate was against him and that he
had been farming under difficulties.
But this state of affairs ceased to
exist long ago with our friend, and
that the royal road to success was
still within his grasp. A better day
was coming for our friend, for by
perseverance and econmy he soon
overcame all difficulties that at the
present time he is paying an income
tax.
Then came a period in our life
when the paper changed it's name
again. 1t then became the organ of
the A. r. P. church. 1t has always
remained steadfast in the faith. 1t is
still disseminating the truth in many
household. There are others who
took an active part in this work, and
they have not labored in vain. The
work that has been done years ago
no doubt is still bearing some fruit,
which is fully exemplified among the
masses who have derived some
knowledge from the power Of the
printing press years ago.
The printing office where we
spent so many happy hours in the
long ago with the craft, has been re-
moved. Even those stately pines,
that surround the building, and i
through which the wind on many an
occasion made a mournful sigh, has
been removed, and there is nothing
left to us but the corner stones
which are dear to US at the present
day, for it reminds us of the time
while we were young.
Now after the lapse of half
century or more, a period that is
worthy of remembrance by the
writer at the present time, brings
sadness and gloom when he thinks
that all of his co-workers of the ante
bellum have been translated to an
other scene. He alone survives to
tell the tale of our valiant service
for truth and righteousness, and the
PRONUNCIATION of the gospel that
adorned the sacred pages of news
paper whose motto is at the present
time: Faith, Hope, Charity
these three"
