Death of Mr*. DeLacjr.
One of tli 3 saddest events in tho his¬
tory of KaMmati occurred on tho even¬
ing of the 9th instant, when Iho gen¬
tle spirit of I he dearly beloved Rebecca
Hall DcLacy winged its flight from
earth to Heaven.
"\Y*o can recall no single instance
when more genuine regret and sym¬
pathy were manifested than on this
occasion by this entire community —
There was no jicrson more generally
esteemed than this amiable and dig¬
nified lady. Having been associated
and identified with tho Methodist
church, and every institutiou connec¬
ted with it, os well as every other
laudable undertaking in the town, tor
theso many years, she had unusual
opportunities for large aeqiiuiuiancc
and .... friendship, which gavohernn
feigned pleasure to cultivate and 1m
prove. The outpouring of the people
to attend her obsequies gave evidence
of (lie he high lug. rcirml legal dm in which winch she sl.e was was
held by all .like. In these her Baptist,
Episcopalian and Presbyterian Mend.
participated, and contributed with
melancholy iilcasurc to tho perfect ar
rangementof tho last sad funeral rites.
When wccontemplatc the virtues and
usefulness of this lovely life now closed
in death, ami tho cruel late that so
ruthlessly snatched her away from
the loving licans around her, wo arc
tempted to bewail and cry out against
this awful visitation. Oh, death, thou
hast the right to the bold, to the ambi¬
tious, to the high and to the haughty,
but why this cruelty to the humble, to
the meek and the undeserving? But
a few months since and site was going
about hoi 1 benevolent and domestic
tufinsir.Uiotie, contented amt

roic resignation with which this sy

dread approach. Her friends came,
kind, solicitous and generous friends,
whom she loved, tendering and per¬

her fevered brow, preparing nourish¬
ing delicacies, following the directions
of the attending physician, and
ihroughall the weary hours—

But the sequel proved—

And thus she passed to Ilim who

Ne. i lv cvciy charge was repre-enicd
as in a healthy condition ; aiid some
of the pastors made vei c itmj report*
indeed. We make si»eeial mention Of
tiic report of Rev. T. M. Christian, of
the Eastman church, which was one of
the best reports made, l.iistnian lias

good, live pa*tor, and a womlerfr’ * r i

good people of that favored little 1 t v.
Several other pasto s had line ;e
poP one of which was <:»e pastor at
Jtsup, of whom wc m ’< have some
tldug to say further on.
There have been during UiO fOnfer
Oiiec year 418 accessions to the ehmeh
in the district; Sunday schools have
increased in numbers and also in in
terest and efl’cetiveness. We are glad
to see that this l.ilpo.taut interest i,
growing upon out* iM»oplo, and hope
that the lime Is not distant whet, eve
rV family in tile di-trict will he On
engaged in the great Sunday school
work.
The cause of ,cm,Kranee is making
progress. Clra.ifying result, have at
tended the local o)>tion laws now in
force in nearly every county in the
d-stnet; and the sentiment in favor ol
prohibition cCdiis to be constantly in
< leasing, not only among church mem¬
bers. but among all the lovers of law
and good order. Good citizens who
ate not members of '.lie church are
waking up to the importance of co¬
operating with tho ministers aim
churches in the enforcement of these
laws for the good of society and Int
j inanity,
The ausc of edutahoil is taking
J*<glicr grounds in the estimation of
the people generally, ami a sentiment
in favor of well qualified teachers,
who are moral and religious, is get¬
ting fast hold upon the minds and
lie ..t s of our pedp'e. This i« import¬
ant to the churth as well as sociefv.
anti 4ve ti i'sttiic interest in the cause
of educu ion wld r; piulv increase un¬
til in the near future we shall have a
good school in every community, and
the youth of our land shall have the
opportunity of acquiring a liberal ed¬
ucation.
The finances of the di*tr : ct arc grad¬
ually improving, but arc yet below
what they should be, when we con¬
sider tlie ns ources of ihis section >f
• oiiii.iv, and the incicase of ta .atik*
property. Thcspiii: of l ; beral*ty lo
the cause ot Christ .should keep ]*a -o
with thelin; ncial Improvement of our
country and people : t* that our houses
of worship be made more commodi¬
ous and comfortable ?tnd every inter¬
est of the church well sustained.
The observance of ‘ he Sabbath was
brought prominently before the con¬
ference; and this important subject
preity thoroughly discussed. Our peo¬
ple, as a rule, observe the Sabbath, vet
there are some g*-avc exceptions. Sun¬
day travel on the railrords. ami espe
cia'Jy Sunday excif.sions, stems to be
a glowing evil. Some of tbc roads
seem to be putting a premium ujk> i
this Kith of Sabbath-breaking by giv¬
ing excursion rates o:i Sr.»'dav in an
inducement to the people to take their
trips on Sunday, cither fc* pleasure or
n.re necessity, they should devote the
day to rest Irom sc.i'iihtr cr /ep aud to
thc wors.iipof Gotl.

ly and eloquently*of her observations
and experience in China several years

The magnet le influence of black eves
is well known, and an ait veil turd
which a certain young lady had, a
tew days ago with a black snake,
would seem to suggest thatoth r be¬
ings, as well as “strawberry blonde/'
sometimes succumb to their magic
powers. The snake in question glided
into (lie house, and the young lady
seized the bloom (woman’s weapon)
and cooly enquired what lie came there
for. lie showed fight and sprang at
her and (lien retreated, but in a few
moments came back again, and re
inuiued luustof of the situation, and
then slid quiict.v off lo his haunts.

There was a large attendance at Hid
funeral of Mrs. DeLacv on Wednes¬
day afternoon* Attg< 9th, 1887. Ti.o
body was borne from the residence by
Messrs. J. T. Coleord, W. B. Whiddon,
L.*I. Peacock, J. S. V. Marshal, E. A.
Smith and J. Bishop, jr., acting as pall
bearers, to the Methodist chill'd,
where tho funeral discourse jwus de¬
livered by Rev. T.M. Christian—alter
which the large procession wended its
way to Wood la wff cemetery, where
the body was buried. Many a teac
was shed, and many a tribute wa-i
paid this excellent lady by her numer¬
ous fricilds. The grief-stricken (amilr
have the sinccrcst (sympathy of tbi*
community.
The death and funeral obsequies of
Mr. L. L. Peacock, was another sad
occasion. The funeral services weru
also conducted by Mr. Christian, from
the M. E. Church, on Monday after¬
noon, 15th inst., and a large crowd
was present. He was also interred iit
Woodlavvn cemetery. Thus passed
away a good man, a kind husband,
indulgei t father, and a warm friend to
al*. In him we lose a Valued citizen,
and all join us in sympathizing With
the bereaved relatives.

Elsewhere in our columns will l»e
found the fall announcement of tho
above-named gentlemen. This is in¬
deed a wide-awake firm, just such as
pluck success in the very face of
rugged competition.
YVo :nk those of our farmer friend*
who have cotton login to read what
they have to say. Their three cotton
gins, hoisted on a rostrum as they are,
seem to speak defiance to competitors.
Their house is so arranged that but lit¬
tle effort is required on the part of tho
customer to unload his wagon, lie in
the meantime being protected by it
roof from the sun and rain.

As for corn, meal, chops, etc., they

over 10,000 bushels of corn this vear.
