In Mcniorlam. To tho memory of Mrs. Susan L. Lea man, daughter of William and Mary Waldrop, and wife of Major Samuel Lea man. She was horn on the 4th of Au gust, 1839, joined tho Baptist church at Beavordam, in Laurens county, in tho summer of 1802, married Major Samuel Loaman on the 31st of May, 18(15, and died on tho 18th of April, 1894. A.few words have sufficed to indicate tho out ward events of a human life of which the world takos cognizance?born, converted, married, died. Within these words was tho beginning and ending of a real, genuine, human life, abounding in domestic, social and Christian influences ftorvading tho household and stretching ar out into the community. Who is adequato to the portmynl of such a life? Who can picture forth tho outward de velopment of a true, womanly life in the closo and tondor rolations of friond, neighbor, wifo and mother? The sud den passing away of a truly good woman from her sphere of duty and quiet minis tration is always a loss?a loss to the community, and an intenno, a sorrowful loss to tho household. Tho writer can deeply sympathize with tho bereaved husband. Ono of tho fittest objects of our Christian sy!n| athy is tho man, already in tho h lino of life, who is called upon to Struggle dally undor the pressuro of increasing Infirmities with the grief occasioned by tho death of a good Christian, helpful wifo. May tho abounding sympathy of (lod rcconcilo tho desolate husband to tho loss ho feels in his great bereavement. Tho five children who enjoyed her full maternal care from infancy, and who owe it to mother, her womanly faith and her patient work. I hat thoy havo stronger characters and better opportunities, have a logaey in tho remeinbranco of that devoted life which was daily em bodied before their eyes in ceaseless acts of sympathy and hanpinesa.

Tho Sunday School Picnic at Ora. Tho Church at Ora has boon tho scene of many specular effects, but novor in all its history has it booh more beautiful than it was last Thurs day when decorated, in which to cele brate the A. R. P. Sunday School pic nic. The pulpit was almost covered with (lowers, with just enough whito and green among them to bring out their many brilliant colors. Growing plants were prominant, with just enough flowers in bloom to form a ploasing contrast. This decoration was all the work of woman's soft touch. A very interesting programo had boon arranged, consisting of music, speeches ana dinnor, and when there is such a combination of good things, it is difficult to find tho superlative uo groe. Capt. W. A. McClintock, evor ready in any, and all emergencies to do his duty, came forward with eccles iastical dignity to prosido and to deliv er tho opening addross, this address added now laurels to his reputution, ho took for his subject tho A. R. P. Sabbath School here for tho last half century. These pcoplo appreciate his long continued service and interest in the Sunday School, boing identified first as pupil, later on and for many years teacher, and oonfidontly cxpoct ed a good addross, and it wus tho unan imous opinion of tho largo audienco that it added much to tho pleasure und profilt of tho day. Thon came an unthom by tho choir which was sung in admirable stylo with much spirit and effect. Tho whole programo was intorspors ed with the "sweot songs of David," and while wo onjoyed nil, our selection was unusually beautiful that of the 2;kl Psalm, and worthy of special praise. Tho song seemed to bocomo a sighing wind and tho voices so blended that each was lost in tho other, all making ono sweot, rising, fulling, swelling, diminishing chord, which al most made tho listners imagine them* solves in somo forest of pines whero tho wind was playing an Eoliun harp among the boughs of the trcos. Tho next speaker, Mr. R. F. Blakoly came forward and was Introduced, ho had chosen as his subject "Kindness." Noxt Mr. W. A. Blakoly gave us his idoason "Thought." Thon Prof. W. M. Bry8on tolls us what possibilities bo in "Opportunities." Rov. Mr. An dorson convinces us that it is hotter not to form "Habits." They woro young men of fine and impressive appcar anco and oxprossod themsolvcs clearly and gracofully, admirablo in thoir simplicity and each spoke in such u manner as to hold tho attention and Interest, of tho audience, oliciting warm and long continued appllauso, almost a heartily applauded as If they had been a protty girl?pretty girls being a variety of tho human family, who nave enormous advantages every where and always, especially at pic nic?now followed a whirl-wind of congratulations on the dinner, a por fect report, ono not prepared by unex perienced hands but seasoned with the essence of matured and polished expe rience so nceossory to please the fas tidious cpicuro and possessed that primo essential of ovcry joyous feast? a whole-souled cordial wolcomc. Yes, welcome to our social hoard, "our feast of rcacor. and our How of soul." Thero Is now a strong disposition to demand u repetition next Summer. Tho success of this picnic is largely duo to tho untiring effort of Mr. W. T. Blakoly, tho retiring Superintendent, and wo thought a rising voto of thanks should havo boon tendered him. Wilhelmina.

After the dinner was ended and the fragments taken up, Capt. McClintock, a mason ever faithful to his trust, in troduced tho silver tongucd orator Stanyarno Wilson of Spartanhurg, who in his ploasing and accustomed way interested his audience with a speech on masonry. Mr.Wilson having ended his speech tho chairman next Introduced Mr. Bollengor a brother mason who poured forth a broad stream of eloquence in the way of a masonic address, after which tho crowd was dismissed by the chairman.
