The strange beast, he says, is nothing more nor less than a fierce anil wild hyena. Last Friday a fisherman saw the terri ble monster as it came down the bank j on the opposite side of the creek to ; drink. The man was very much fright-1 ened. but dared not run until the ani mal finished drinking and had slipped , back Into the almost impenatreble jun gle that stretches tip and down the stream for miles. This solution, or explanation rather, is a very plausible one, and accounts fully for the presence of the terrible animal there, as the following facts will show. Several years ago, during a general fight at a circus in a town a few miles below Sumter City, several animals broke from their cages and escaped, among which were four very large and tierce hyenas. The next day, however, all the animals were recaptured except the hyenas, who have since continued to roam the swamps in that locality. These animals are very ferocious, and when hungry will attack a man as well as a dog. The gentlemen here yester day is positive that the wholesale slaughter of the dogs is the work of one or more of these beasts, p irticularly sinco one has been seen within a mile or two of that place. The negroes are very much alarmed since this fact was made known, and scarcely one of them will venture out of doors at night on any ac count. morning at D o’clock from the First Methodist church. The following friends will act as pall bearers: l\ H. Harrold, E. J. Eld ridge, II. C. Ragley, 1\ C. Clegg, J. .1. Willi ford, W. E. Murphey, J. W. Sheffield, T. Wheatley. N MEMORY OF 31 KM. G. W.

In a in.me once so bright and Joyous our dear one was gently passing away from us; yet there shone upon her face a “light that ne’er was on land or sea.” Much a seem* as that can never t>e forgotten. All the loving ministers of affection and care had failed. We could not keep her wltii us, for her Father had need of her, and bravo ly and calmly she met the insatiate foe, whose touch of blight had despoiled the hap py home. Her sufferings ended, she was en terlng Into perfect rest, forever toenjoy with her Lord t fie rich rewards of labor well done. Oil. the light that fell around that dying pillow was heavenly in its radiance. Her words of love and comfort, of perfect submis sion to Divine will, were very pre lous to the bleeding hearts so crushed by this provl deuce. She spoke of the light that iilumlm d her way, of the glimpses of loved ones who were “waiting and watching at tho beautiful gate,” bin above all she said “I see the (ac» of my b'essed Savior, so full of compassion and love," and extending her feeble arms, she whispered, “I want to place them around His neck, tor He has pardoned iny sins, and I am so happy In His love.” As Iran angel had tuned Its harp strings, her feeble voice began losing, “Jesus, Lover of my Houl.” The song was left unsung to mortal enrs, for she had gone to Mulsh It forever among the angelic choir in the celestial c*ty.
