Meredith, and daughter of James Roberts, died at hei home, neat Chii'kaeiauga, Ga., on the 16th day of last April of pneumonia after an illness of one week. Aged 29years. She was a member of Crawfish Baptist Church. Her remains were laid to rest iu Antioch ceme tery to await the sound of God’s trumpet that is to awake the sleeping nations. The funeral service was conducted by her pas tor, Rev. R. L. Trotter. Bhe was an affectionate and de voted wife. As a friend, ardent and faithful. She was loved by all who kuew her for her amiabil ity and her pure Christian char acter. She was the mother of one sweet little babe nine months old, and stepmother of three bright little boys, aged 11, 7 and 6. In fact she was a real mother to them. In acts she was ever gen tle, kind and affeetionute to them. Though the hearts and home of husband and children have been shadowed by her untimely death the beautiful mansion above will glow with intense reality now that her bright spirit mingles with the ransomed host “over there.” “ Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord. They rest from their labors and their works do follow them. Sister tlioil want mild and lovely. Gentle ax llie summer lireeze, l’i< amid as tile a'r of evening, When it floats among the trees. Peaceful be thy quiet slumber, Peaceful in the grave so low, Thou no more will join onrnumber, Tliou no more our songs shall know. Yet again we hope to meet thee, When tlio day of life is fled, Then in heaven with joy to greet thee, Where no farewell tears are shed. Fannie. In >lino i’.\ ol lteliecca Will’d. . She was the wife of Richard Ward and sister to Rev. Richard . Harwell and Mrs. Eliza Chastain. Mrs. Ward was born about sixty ’ years ago. She was remarkable for her energy, intelligence and refinement. She put and kept her house iu order; but like the . sweet little flowers and morning glories, she is no more. She has , passed away. Her gentle spirit > has taken its flight. She is gone. Her husband can say from the , very sanctuary of his soul what a true, noble and grand woman she was. Her children can each and all of them say what a kind and blessed mother she was to me. If a neighbor was sick or in trouble and distress and she know it, she never waited to bo sent for, but she went and did all the good she could. Indeed it is said of her by her neighbors, relatives and friends that it whs her highest do* i light to visit the sick and do acts of kindness; and by so doing the world has been made better by her having lived, and her memo ry will ho a lasting monument. It was the writer’s pleasant privilege to visit her a short time ! before her pure spirit was trans ferred to its heavenly mansion and she said, "I am weak, l am very weak, hut just so sure as 1 am iu this condition, just so sure there is a God in heaven to take care of me.” As she said those solemn aud impressive words her! eyes seemed to take on new life; 1 she then raised her weak and trembling hand and pointed it in the direction of our triumphant home. She rests in the beautiful cerne- 1 tery near Peavine church. June 36,18 N. W. F. M. Ten years ago John Hoiutzig, of Shamokin, Pa., concealed S9OO ( in a bed mattress and went to ( Hungary to visit his relatives, ex- ] peering to return iu a few weeks. ( He was arrested there for deser- | tiou aud had to serve six years in j the army. He met other reverses t and did uot return until Thurs day last, lleintzig went to his j old boarding house, still kept by j the same man as when he left ( there, and found the S9OO iu the i mattress. He had been afraid to 1 w rite to the landlord about it for J fear he might keep the money.

A strauge spider, it is reported, has appeared in great numbers in the lowlands and valleys about Hermosillo, Mex., aud is giving the natiyes great alarm. It is pe culiarly ferocious aud manifests no fear of anything, not hesitat ing to give chase to men who dis turb it. It is considerably larger than the tarantula, common in those regions, aud is terribly poi sonous. Three deaths have been lately reported from its bite. It is a hairy insect and has legs as large as a pipe stem. It runs with remarkable agility, aud climbs the stick or whip toward hand of any oue who strikes at it. It is a , newcomer to the section, and. so far, no one has been found who 1 has seen it before. One of the 1 deaths was that of a Mexieau who was riding along and saw oue of the spiders. He struck at it with his whip, and before he could drop the whip the spider was at his ' hand aud had bitteu him. He j died within three hours in great agony. The spiders hop along the grouud iu great leaps toward the object of their attack. On tin- Candidates Congressman O'Farr..ll of Vir ginia says: “Harrison is the i weakest candidate the Republi ’j cans could have nominated so far jas the Southern States ire cou i cerned. In those states ho is ■ ] weak in his own party except ■! among his officeholders. Blaine 1 would have been much stronger. « Weaver can do less harm than ■ uny candidate the third party could have put in the field. He i is known to ho a wild and erratic i man—everything by turn and nothing long—first a South-hat ! ing, South-damning Republican, - then a Greenbacker, then a Knight of Labor, then a Demo • crat, then an Alliancemau and ; now u third partyite. He lias ex hausted the vocabulary in his de nunciation of the Southern peo • pie, and declared that those ‘who i were not shot or hung are again ■ conspiring to get possession of E the Government.’ He has de nounced them as ‘a hungry, re i bellious, man-hating, woman-sell : ing gang,’and'as late as July 10> 1888, declared on the floor of the ■ House of Representatives that he ■ ‘had nothing’ to take back.” Eczema, scalp covered with eruptions, doctors proven value less.

He will conceal himself in aolmnp of leaves near the spot whore • | small birds are accustomed to gather, and when they are enjoy , ing them-.lives in their own sash . ion, will suddenly frighten them almost to death, by screaming out like a hawk. Os course they scatter in eyery direction, and when they do so the mischievous rascal gives vent to a cackle that sounds very much like a laugh. If he confined his pranks to such jokes as this, however, he would not bo such a bail neighbor to birds smaller than himself, but when he amuses himself by break ing the eggs in their nests and aud tearing the young to pieces with his bill, he becomes a pesti lent nuisance, and they often com bine their forces to drive him out of the neighborhood. They do not always succeed, for he is as full of fight as mischief, but a se vere conflict teaches him that they too have their rights, and this induces him to mend his man ners.” Do not wear impermeable and tight-fitting hats that constrict the blood-yessel of the scalp. Use Hall's Mair lienewer occasionally, aud you will not be bald. “Some animals exhibit a queer lack of sense,” said a man who has observed them, to a New York Tribune, writer. “Put a buzzard iu a peu about six feet square and open at the top, and it is as much a prisoner as if it was shut up in a box. This is because buzzards always begin their flight by taking a short run, and they either cannot or will not attempt to fly unless they can do so. Again, take a common bum ble bee aud put it in a goblet. It will remain a prisoner for hours, trying to escape through the sides without ever thinking of escaping through the top. So also a bat cannot rise from a perfectly level surface. Although it is remark ably nimble in its flight when once on the wing and can fly for many hours at a time, without taking the least rest, if placed on the floor or on flat ground it is ab solutely unable to use its wings. The only thing it can do is to shuttle helplessly and painfully along, until it reaches some tri fling elevation, from which itfean throw itself into the air, when at once it is off like a flash.’’ Advertised List of Letters. ‘ I Gentlemen.—Ausbin Clark, W.
