A High Compliment.
Judge T i. Holton is now a mem
her of the Governor’s stuff, a lieu
tenant colonel. The Governor com
pleted his list of thirty-six lieuten
ants last Saturday and Judge Holton
was among the tirsl to be thus hon
ored. This is not only a compli
ment to the Judge but to this sec
lion of the conn aw. Abbeville has
every reason to feel proud of the
recognition she now enjoys, She
has this year furnished a 1st. Lieu
tenant in the army in the person of
Max E Land; a member of the State
Democratic Executive Committee in
the person of It A Wilson and now a
Lieutenant Colonel to Urn Governor.

Dentil of Mrs. P. S. Tatum.
! T'.i many friends ol Mrs. Lizzie S
' >mm wife Mr. P s Tatum of this
place, will be grieved to learn of
sml death which occurred at her
home yesterday morning, the Oth,
about !l o'clock after a brief illness.
She became ill hist Thursday and
grew worse gradually till yesterday
when she succumbed to the strong
arm of the reaper—death. All that
a kind husband, a loving mother and
sisters and the best skilled phy
sicians could do to prolong life was
of no avail. She was the eldest
daughter of Mrs. (1 A Dean and was
3+ years old. She had been married
8 years and leaves a husband and
three children. Mrs. Tatum was a
good Christian woman, a devoted
wife and loving mother and leaves a
host of relatives and friends who
will mourn for her. The Chronicle
extends sympathy to the bereaved
family in this sad hour of affliction.
The remains of Mrs. Tatum was
hurried to day at the Stubbs Ceme
tery. A large concourse of friends
and relatives accompanied the corpse
to the grave and witnessed the last
sad rite.
A cough is not like a fever. It
does not have to run a certain
course. Cure it quickly and effect
ually with One Minute Cough Cure,
the best remedy for all ages and for
tlie most severe eases. We recom
mend it because it's good. Central
