THE REAPER DEATH.
| two estimable ladies close their
earthly career.
On Friday morning List Mrs. M.
E. Bugg, departed this life at her
home, near Grovetown. She had not -
only lived the allotted time on earth, i
but had gone considerably over the
line, having reached her eightieth
year. She was a la.lv of most amiable i
character, both as a neighbor and a I
Christian. For several years past on :
account of feeble health she was un- I
able to perforin the active duties of
life to which the energies if her na
ture seemed to have so well fitted ,
her. She was not only a Christian in
name, but eminently so as was illus
trated in her life. None knew her
but to bear testimony to her labor of
love in every good word and work.—
She had been a consistent member of
the Grove Baptist Church for over
fifty years and when the final sum
mons cumef to go up higher she was
readv to obey. To the grief stricken
lelanves and friends we tender our
heartfelt condolence.
We are pained to chronicle the
death of Mrs. M. E. Parkman, which ■
occurred at her home on Saturday ;
morning last, in the 47th year of her '
age. For several months she had
been a sufferer from cancer. She was
not only esteemed by al) who knew
her, but those Christian graces which
throw sunshine and happiness around
the home and in society, were happily
blended in every act of her life. She
bore her suffering, which was beyond
description, with Christian fortitude
and met the final hour and summons
of death as a welcome messenger,
attesting her unswerving trust in the
Saviour. Doubtless no ouc will be
missed more in the cqmmunity in
which she lived. For a number of
years she had been a most exeirfplary
member of Kiokee Baptist Church.
Iler funeral took place at h»-r late
residence on last Sabbath evening be
fore the largest gathering we have
ever noticed on such an occasion, in
this county. To tho grief stricken
family and relatives we tender our
heartfelt sympathies iu this sad be
reavement.
(HUE MURE.
Editors Sentinel:
We want Mur more of the hundred
dollar names for the “memorial win
dows,” and six more of the fifty dollar
names for the upper windows. We
(jon’t want any blanks. It would
look as though our community was
made up partially of blanks. Now do .
come up promptly and help us. Could
you put a hundred dollars to better i
use ? Kind reader think of it, your
subscription coming just at the j>roper
time may be the turning point on
which the whole matter will binge. ;
We must have the Academy and have
lit now. Shall we farther delay until
the old house with its rickety floors
and ceiling, its doors and windows
standing all awry, has toppled to the
ground, a shapeless mass of ruins?
Shades of Flor nee and Ashmore, of
Sanford aud Ellington forbid. What
a sad spectacle iu thia enlightened
age, aud for the proud people of old
1 Columbia to behold. Look at the
□Cermet, $1 ti Yonr lit Aclvhuoa,
picture and then on this : A tine new
house of stately proportions, of
modern style and finish, furnished in
latest fashion, nicely j ninted in pleas
ing colors. Let us imagine ourselves
I nil comfortably seated in tho spacious
hall, while the Profcssur calls up class
I after class, composed largely of the
' youth of our own community, looking
Iso much like little fairies that wo
- hardly recognize them uh our own
. children ami grandchildren, tripping
Iso lightly mid joyously along, all
bubbling over with joy. Faces beam
ing with thut love and self respect
that ouly an education enu impart
Tho scene heightened by the soft
tinted rays of the huu as it peeps
through tho colored glass. You look
nt the grand niched windows, your
own name written there iu bold re
lief, speaking in words most eloquent
that it wu.s your liberality that helped ;
to bring about such a happy result [
How your heart will swell within you. !
How soon you will realize as ;
never before thut the world u
better for your having lived in it.
There cun be no better investment
for a man or woman who has money
than to devote it to wise public uses.
There is nothing of greater value to
mi individual than the good will and ;
gratitude of tho community in which
he lives. And who, after all, gets the
most pleasure out of life, u man
who in bis abundance gives evidence
of being filled with the milk of human
kindness, or the one who devotes his
whole energies to gratifying his love
for gain. The difference between
them is uh that between wine and
vinegar and they cannot help feeling
it themselves. Life ebbs away. They
puss rapidly off the stage of action.—
Near relatives may mark their lasting
place by a marble monument. But
by the masses are in< a few dayn for
gotten. But if your life, especially
towards tho dose, is spri kled with a
few generous ami noble acts how il
will imprcH., the youi.ger mimlH.—
How jour names will lake root in the
hearts of the community, mid future
generations love to honor the names
and memory of those who were in
strumental in helping them to acquire
thut all important factor. That legacy
that cannot be taken away, and with
out which life is almost a blank. I
might Hiy n burden. That yreuteat
ot nil legacies, a gi od education. A
want of it lias kept many worthy
young men and women in tho back
ground. Their very souls pierced by
many sorrows. Opportunities for
doing g od uro always presenting
themselves. But only about once in
a lifetime will one like the present bn
press'll upon us. Let us all try so
measure up to the full stature of men
and women and come up willingly,
cheerfully, lovingly and join heartily
in this work and ere the August moon
shall wax mid wane wo will have n
house that will speak in eloquent
tones of the enterprise and liberality
of Columbia’s noble citizens.
A meeting will be held at tho old j
academy on Saturday, the 16th nt 3
p. m., when plans for tho now build- ,
ing will be presented, and matters of 1
importance discussed. Everybody
is requested to be present.

I Mr. Jim O’Neal was exhibiting
VOL V, NO. 30
something of a curiosity in the etty
Wednesday It was a Masonic badge
made of silver, such ns were fashion
able about the beginning of the pres
ent century. The badge j« Hire#
inches long by two wide, and is co»-
, cred on both sides with emblems of
•he order. It came into Mr. O Neal’a
possession in a curious way. He
plowed it out of the ground fourteen
years ago. Ihe name “G Robinson''
is engraved on onu side near thF top•
N oars ugo a family named Robinson
lived in this county aud near Hie
place where the badge was found, but
the name of no member of Hie family
began with a (I. All of them moved
nwaj- several years ugo and several
have since died. Mr. O'Neal would
like to find the owner of the badge,
but has not yet been able to do so.
The little children of Mr. C. M.
King have for several years bad among
their play things, an old pocket-book
that belonged to their grnndfntber,
Col. N P. King. The book was tied
with a blua cotton string, and no
member of the family ever once sus
pected that it contained anything of
interest or value. The children have
drugged it about the floor for some
time. Tuesday it occurred to Mr,
King to open it to see if it might
contain some papers. Ugon doing
so, to his fisbinisliment, he discovered
that it held 18 pieces of silver nnrney
-some of them rare old coins— tia*
whole amounting to over two dollars.
One of these coins was made in 1773,
and is therefore 114 years old. They
are of various denominations from an
English farthing to a Spanish half
dollar. There are some old fashioned
tlirips and several three cent pieces.
Dr. King was elated st the discovery
and will ke.ip these rare old coina aa
mementoes of his lamented father.

Hon. David Davis used to 4ell the
frozen truth when ha said : “Each
year every local paper gives from >lo®
to $5,000 in free lines for the beuefit
of the community ip which it islocat
e, l. No other agency can or will do
this. The local editor, in pro) ortiem
to hi.i means, does more for his town
than sny ten men, aud in all fairness,
man with man, ought lie uot to be
supported, not -because you happened
to like him <n* admire his writings,
but because a local paper is -the best
investment a community can make.
It way not be brilliant or crowded
with thoughts but filiaqiwtily it is of
more benefit to a community than A
preacher or teacher. Understand -us
now, we do not mean morally or in
tellectually, but financiidly, and yet
on tho moral side of the question.—
To-day the editors of the local papers
do the most work for the least money
of any men on earth. Subscribe for
your local paper, not as a charity but
as an investment."
