on the New xioii»uu-
day evening at 10 o’clock. His
death was very sudden and oc
curred in fifteen miuutes after he
had taken a cold bath, which on
account of his nervous condition,
gave him such a shock that he was
unable to recover from it. He
was about 40 years old and is sur
vived by his wife and adopted
daughter. The funeral services
were held at the family residence
Friday afternoon at 4i30 o clock,

A TEST THAT TELLS
The Philadelphia Times asserts
that Senator Tillman is the whist
ler of the senate; that he whistles
with or without provocation, and
that his hearers curb with diffi
culty the desire to use a tuning
$ork on him. Or perhaps a bell
would be appropriate.

indulges in the following rhapso
dy that has the true Ransy Snif
fles flavor; “Blackberries haye
made their appearance in the
market. Bread and meat can
now go west and blow up with the
country, so far as this poor scribe
is concerned.”
This is True.
Our own State offers more op
portunities for the industrious im
migrant than any Western State
that can be named. It pro
duces fifty two field crops, as fine
quality of live-stock as is raised
auywhere,and snjoys excellent cli
matic conditions. Drouth.pestilen
ce and blizzards, which are frequ
ent in the West, are almost un
known in this part of the world.
It has what others lack, and what
some others enjoy it has not. But
all are in close proximity to mar
kets bv land and water, and ail are
pregnant with opportunity. But
all over the South we are in need
of thrifty, enterprising people to
