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. J. B. LOWE. 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. --„ Two hogsheads of sugar to the acre is the yield of the Terreboune, Louisiana, Parish, planters are making.
