To tlie Heavenly Rest.
The dark shadow of bereavement
lias fallen upon the home of one of
LaGrange’s best beloved pastorp.
On Wednesday afternoon, after
severe physical suffering, Miss Ruth
Bigham, daughter of Rev. R. W.
Bigliam, passed within the Gates of
Pearl.
“There is no flock, howsoo’er defended,
But one dead lamb is there.”
This lovely girl was a favor
ite with all who knew her. Her
gentleness won all hearts. Her age
was fourteen years.
Darkened are the places that
knew, crushed the hearts that loved
her. The sympathies and the
prayers of many friends in [La-
Grange ascend to the Throne of the
Heavenly Grace in behalf of the
parents, so sorely bereaved, and the
household robbed by relentless death
of one of its choicest treasures.
The funeral took place yesterday
afternoon, at four o’clock, at the
Methodist church, Rev. W. R.
Foote, of West Point, officiating and
paying a feeling and appropriate
tribute to the deceased. The inter
ment took place in Hill View Ceme
tery. A large number of sympathiz
ing friends were present at these
exercises, their tears of sorrow at
testing their deep sympathy and
sense of Iobs in the death of one so
youthful aud beloved.

Capt. J. T. Boykin says the cotton
crop over the river has been cut off
40 per cent—that they will have
only the July crop. There is a
good deal of rust. Reports from
other parts of the county are also
rather gloomy. Hope the price will
rise in proportion to the fall in pro
duction, and thus enable us all to
tide over our troubles.
Buy the genuine “R. J. R.”

stock of goods that you will be glad he
went North.

Mr. Park: “He is well known in

Mr. Zach Gorham has had a bit of costly
experience in farming. The price that
he paid was seven bales of cotton. Tak
ing advice—always cheap—he planted a
row of cotton, then a row of peas. The
peas took the field, cotton and all. He
has a good crop of the former, but the
latter “isn’t in it.” Next time he will
hand over gratuitious advice to an analy
tical chemist before lie tries it. Zach
says others were caught likewise, but
don’t tell it.
The High School will open next Mon
day,' September 11th, under the direc
tion of Prof. C. L. Smith. We learn
that the outlook is very encouraging,
and the opinion is freely expressed that
LaGrange is going to have the best boys’
school she has bad for years. The build
ing is being made ready, new desks put
in, etc. Prof. Smith is believed to be
the right man for the place, and there is
little doubt but that the public will give
him a cordial support.
Mr. Fuller. E. Callaway and wife re
turned from Chicago and New York on
Monday night. He had | a magnificent
trip, combining siglit-seeing and recrea
tion with business. [He has bought a big
stock of goods—much the largest, he
says, in LaGrange. He showed us some
freight bills that looked that way, for
they called for big money. One. of
them was for about one hundred dollars.
Paying spot cash for everything, dis
counting all bills, he gets the bed rock
prices, and ib, therefore, prepared to of
fer the people unparalleled bargains at the
Department Stores. Mr. Callaway was top
busy dispatching his large correspond
ence, which accumulated during his ab
sence, and putting things in order gene
rally, to be interviewed at length, but he
will use Reporter ink to let the public
know just exactly what lie has in
store.
Fair Warning.
