BACHMAN CHAPEL LETTER. Death of Mrs. P. L. Wise-An Enjoyable Dinner at Perry Halfacre's Communion at Colony. Slighs, S. C , January 4, 1904. Christmas passed off very quietly throughout this section. No acci dents happened, except that a ne gro, Jeff Ruff, who lives on Dr. Hunter's place, got his hand badly torn up by the explosion of a gun. Mrs. Nancy C., Wise, wife of Mr. P. L. Wise. died at her home on Saturday night, the 26th, aged 34 years, 2 months and 16 days. Her infant babe had preceded her to the spirit land just a few weeks previous to her death. Her remains were laid to rest in Colony graveyard or. Monday following her death, her pastor, the Rev. P. H. E. Derrick, conducting the funeral services. . Mrs. Wise was a member of Bach man Chapel church, and her whole life was a life of peace and quietude. She leaves a husband, one sister, two half brothers, two half sisters and a step-mother to mourn her de parture. They have our deepest -sympathy. Among my Christmas enjoyments was to accept an invitation to a turkey dinner at the home of my neighbor and friend, Mr. Perry Halfacre, on Tuesday, the 29th of December. Just before dinner Mr. Halfacre showed us a dish which was bought by his grandfather, - Henry Halfacre, in the spring of 3o3, when he first went to house keeping. It was then bought and. served as a turkey dish by this good old,father one hundred and one years ago. It saved the same pur pose on the day in queslion, which made the dinner quite memorable. Mr. Editor, I am sorry your invita tion did not reach you in time for you -to be with us on this occasion, for you certainly missed I one of the best dinners of your life. Any one who eats a dinner pre. fared sby Mrs. Halfacre will not -wonder why her husband is so large and fleshy. But, to go back to the relic, this old dish, which "is serving its third generation, notwithstanding it hasI been in continual use for more than a hundred years, has not lost its beauty. The flowers on its face look'as fresh and natural as if placed there only a short while ago. The day was spent very pleasantly 'with this kind family and I trust that it may be my privilege to meet -with again in like manner. To say that Col. D. A. Ruff and Maj. Ben Halfacre were there is only saying that it added more to the fun and pleasure of the day. Perry Halfacre is one among our best! neighbors and citizens, and to meet each one of his children is a plain -evidence of what I say, for they show that they have been brought up under good discipline. There was communion service at Colony church last Sunday. The day was very cold, which made the congregation comparatively small. Our new pastor, Rev. R. E. Liv ingstone, preached a good sermon from i Corinthians i:9. The sub ject was a good one, showing the faithfulness of God. Rev. Living stone does not come among us as a stranger; he is one of our own boys. Raised and educated in our-midst he needs no words -of commenda tion at my hands. T. J. W. A Prisoner in Her Own House. Mrs. W. H. Layha, of 1001 Agnes' Ave., Kansas City, Mo., has for several years beergtroubled with severe hoarse ness and at times a hard cough, which she says, "Would keep me in doors for days.

A friend gave me part of a bottle of Chamber ain's Cough Remedy with instructions to closely follow the directions arnd I wish to state that after the first day I could notice a decided change ft,r the better, and at this time after u.ing _it for two weeks, have no hesitation in saying' I realize that I am entirely cured."
