The Official Orpa of Mflluffie Oouitty.
FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 1900,
The report of the special committee,
appointed at September term of Superior
Court, which was not included iu the
published Present memo of the March
term, i* iu hand, but rmo.t be postponed
until next iaaue because it ia Ho length;
that it would crowd out man; of the ar
tlelca already iu type for this isa 10.
The political sensation of the week is
the auuouuceincut of Admiral Dewey
that he ia a candidate for President of
the United States. At ilrst be declined
to claim nfflii ation with any political
party, but later he ha* stated that he
think* be ia a democra*, Whethi r he
expects to supplant Dryan or to rnu' as an
independent it not known, but it ia sur
mised that be is being put forwurl by
the Easter i goldbng Democrats for the
purpose of defeating Bryan. Whatever
may be ins own motive, orllie power be
hind him, it ia Very certain that.hi* an
nouncement is silly, even childish; and
the htro of Manila, who was the idol of
the American peoplo a few months ago,
ia onw the subject of nnivi rani ridicule.
It is exirami ly peiilous for a brave but
aimple-miudod old soldier to marry an
ambitious young widow or to tamper
with artillery piinoh.

Mesi-ra. E. It. Wilson and J. J. Mor

Harmony drove ia a town of about
1,600 inhabitants. Il is a progressive
place, having a cotton seed oil mill and
a SIOO,OOO outton factory that pui 1 SOO,-
000 dividends last year.
Mr, Williamson's One Creamer; and
Dairy are worth traveling twice the dis
tance to see. Ilia herd oonsists of sixty
nowa, fifty belug constantly in milk. The
Creamery lumdloe about 1,000 |k>uiuU of
milk per day, half of this amount being
fnruitbe t by hie own herd and the other
bought from outside patrons,
Mr. Williamson showed us a JOncre
field that lie gathered 20 bales of cotton
from in 98. The big yield was due lo
tbo fert 1 sera from his dairy.
Several dairymen met in Thomson on
Thursday, and it is now pretty o -rtain
though not absolutely so, that a Cream

A TRIBUTE TO PAPA.
With crashed and bleeding hearts, we
afjod by the new made grave of our faiber,
Mr. D- A. Stanford, who died in the fifty,
thlid year of his age, March 19th, 19U0.
Just as the meridian is reached gone out.
The Angel Reaper has removed from earth
ly cares to tbo realms of everlasting bliss,
the son! of onr much loved father; God has
called and he has entered into the Gre*fc
Beyond and is now resting at tbe feet of
the Master.
It seemed to us that he might have been
spared, that death lies on him like an un
timely frost; but some sweet day, we shall
see how God is keeping from ns now life’s
sweetest things because it seeioeth good.
Tbe summons was sudden, without a mo
ment’s warning, but f<uid him ready;
death had do terror for papa, he tnly hated
to leave us, that was all; for truly it has
been said,
“There is something in the parting hour
Will chill the warmest heart,
Yet kindred, comrades, lovers, friend-*,
Are # ated nil to part;
But this I’ve seen and many a pang
ltas pressed it on my mind-
The one who gcs is happier
Thau those he leaves behind*”
There is a v&< a it place iu our hearts and
home that can never be filled ; of coyirse
God does all things bent, but our bereave
ment j s too recent for us to feel it is well.
Thou art gone, dear papa, to tbe land of
rest —
Gone from this world of toil and csre ;
Thy Father hath called thee-He knew it
was best—
Hath taken thee home its hi Jght glories
to share.
But Oh! how we mine thee and grieve at
thy borne—
Thy footstep aud voice fall no more on
tho car;
Alone as it were in this sad world to roam
No husband, no father, tocherish us here.
Bo aith grief.stricken heat tv mourn thee wo
we must;
But in meicy a hopeful assurance ia
given;
Tho’ thy form lies sleeping--.dust unto dost.
Thy spirit's at rest in Heaven, sweet Heaven
Thy hands lie ho still, thy work is all done,
Thy toils arc ul> ended—the narrow path
tn and
- battle is fought, the victory is won,
And thou art safe iu the city off God.
We ran not forget thoe, but bid thee adieu,
•Till we meet thee again on that raUiaul
shore;
And join in the singing of songs ever new,
Iu praising our God forever evermore.
We thy loved ones are grieving, hut across
the oold stream,
Thou art watching aud waiting to wel
come m home.
When we’ve wrestled and toiled and thro
with life’s dream,
Thou wilt tenderly, lovingly, say to ns
“Como,”
Ilia Children.
