Obituary.
Died of diptheria, on the 20th of
September, daughter of 1S80, brother Mary F. and Langford,
our sister
.Tos. Langford. B. Langford Mary and wife Cynthia
was born on the
18th of January, 1877, and was
three years and eight moots old
at the time of her death. In the
departure of this little one we
have a manifestation ol the truth,
that Death is no respector of per¬
sons or circumstances. But he is
not a conqueror being, ; he holds only for
the time loved ones in his
icy embrace. Finally at the com¬
mand of Him who said “suffer
little children to come unto me
and forbid them not,” he must
release all our loved ones. We
command this truth to the bereaved
parents and friends of our little
Mary. H. R. Bernard.
To Jfly Friends and the
Public !
I hereby announce my name as
a candidate for Sheriff of Oconee
county, in the ensuing election, and
hereby ask the support of my friends
and the public generally.

Courting I 11 Church.
A young gentleman happening
to sit at church in a pew adjoining
one in which there was a young
lady, for violent whom he conceived a sud¬
den a passion, felt desirous
of entering into a courtship on the
; spot, but the place not suiting a
formal declaration, the sqxigency
suggested the following neighbor plan : He
politely handed his> a
Bible,-open with a Second pin stuck in a
following St. verse: “And Epistle of
John, verse 7: .now I
I beseech thee, lady, not as though
I wrote a new commandment unto
•thee,but which we had from the
beginning,that She we love one another.”
returned it with the following:
Second chapter of Ruth. 10th verse :
“Then she fell on her face and
bowed herself to the ground, and
said unto him, why have I found
grace in thine,eyes, and thou
s’nouldst take knowledge of me,
pointing a stranger.” He returned the book,
to the 15th verso of the
Second Epistle of St. John : “Hav¬
ing would many things to write unto yc >11, ~~
not with p ape r find ink,
ut I trust to come to you, and
speak face to face.” From the
above interview the marriage took
place the following week.
