of hts life that he quickly earned
and easily held the lore and confi

uineness of his piety, the earnestness
of bis exhorbitlon and the nnselfish-

who were permitted to enjoy his
tender ministrations, rejoice now
think that they are being led by his
example.
Hts religion seemed rather of the
"subjectlre” sort;—refusing mere

apostle when the spirit of Rev. John
W. Davis entered Immortality, tha
4th day of December, 1907.
“Born la Anaan county about S3
years ago, he waa full of years and
travail. Deeply religious by nature,
anxious to Impart tho message of
tweet comfort and peace to every
heart, he devoted many years to the
ministrations of the pnlpit. A care

praotlslng every simple clrtue, ho
lent his hand and help to the widow,
the orphan and all who were desolate

ties. In the hollow of his hand he
held It, and with surgical force sent
It to tho seat of pain. Ha had aa
much confidence in It as he had In
Saint Peter.
“He waa a striking man In nppear-
aioe, wearing his hair long and Part
ed, after the manner of Cromwell
and hla Ironsides; a ruddy complex
ion with Falerlan coloring, a blend
of the Puritan and Whig, with a Mis
sionary Baptist finish. He served the
Master in sincerity, standing by the
things which are good.
Upon a time melancholy marked
him as her own. Then he said
me, with great tears furrowing bis
cheeks:
“ 'I find solace in the example of
men of old, who, through faith
wrought righteousness, stopped the
mouths ef Mons and quenched the
violence of fire.'
His convlstion8 were his assets.
"So wedded to the ways qd simplic
ity was he that when under my roof
he always preferred the floor to beds
ef ease.
"Mis tribe Is fast “marklag time.’’
"In years gone away I promised to
speak at the portals of bis grave If
apprised ef his death. Chance er for
tune disappointed our pfens, and he
weift into the truce of the grace In
hlu far off home the word of praise
unspoken."
Mr. Parnell has lived In this city
all his Ilfs and was known to the
oldest citizens as a "boy and on

years he worked as a mason and was
an expert at this trade. It will he

He was a son of Mr. Willis Parnell,
one of the county's oldest citizens, a

Holds Bnt a Very Short Session to
Pass Anti-Liquor Ordlaace.
After tho usua^ reputing of the
minutes and their approval a peti
tion from Mrs. Mary J. Smith, admr
for the eetate of W. J. Toung was
read In the body atatfng that alnce
the last tax assessment by the ooun-
she has disposed of moat of the
property to Mr. W. I. MacIntyre and
she was still being taxed tor the
same amount. It was referred bo the
finance committee for action, after
the a8sertlon of Mr. MacIntyre In
person that her statements was cor
rect.
The liquor ordinance read second
time and tfsssed with no amend
ments. This was doae In order that
the law could not be evaded as
has been the case In the last few
weeks. The old ordinance did not
hold water and this is one that will
stand the test, as It was das** np
by the City Attorney and Mr. Titus
who was so successful In breaking It
at a recent session of Police Court.
Mr. Evans Introduced the ordinance.
Mr. A. Bennett vyas called yester
day to Charleston by telegram telling
ef the serious illnees of his stm-ln-
law, Mr. D. Bowman. An operation
was necessary on account of the
serious oouditlon of Mr. Bowman and
as yet nothing definite has been re
ceived. He was taken with typhoid
fever and then appendicitis, the
combination .making a very serious
