He is in pretty bad shape, havingridden in two races and received a severefall in each. He says tbe falls were due totbe bad condition of the track, which is inthe shape of a triangle and the curves verysharp with little banking. Fred. Maxwell,who also ridea a ''Peerless" bicycle, wonthe greatest share of the prizes and proved¦"himself to be a crackajack by beatinguonnerat, of 8avannab, tbe man whoholds the Southern mile record of 210 3-5,and Schade, of Washington, who gaveGeorge Adams such a close race in theSouthern ohampionshlp race at Charlotte,and beat him in the mile open a few min¬utes later. The races in which both Max¬well and Schade entered were certainly themost interesting and hotly contested, thewinner heating in each event only byinches. The result was that Maxwell wonthe best three out of five over Schade, butin the last Sehnde received a fall, althoughit is thought that the result could hardlyhave been otherwise as Maxwell was thefresher of the two."Tbe "Standard" Delineator for October

A helpful discussion of the"Dress and Duties of Servants" is nicelyillustrated, and in "Fancy Work" somebeautiful models fordrawn work are shownand full directions for making them are

given. For the children there is a charm¬ing fairy-tale and an illustrated article onJapanese little people. In conclusion thereareBtories, book reviews, essays on "Hyp¬notism," "Thoroughness," "Cookery,"(including tried receipes), etc. All in all,this is certainly an Ideal ladies' magazine,

It is with the profoundest Borrow thatwe learn of tbe death of Mrs. SeimaMcGregor, of Anderson, S. C, whichoccurred last week. Mrs. McGregor wasthe second daughter of Maj. E. J. Earle,of this vicinity, and was a most excel¬lent woman of both head and heart. Wehave known her from childhood, and feelthat we would be recreant to our dutydid we not express our respect and dropa few feeble thoughts to her memory.In her girlhood she embraced Christianityand joined tbe Church at Shilob, and byher meek and Christ-like demeanor everafterward exemplified her Savior. Inthe bloom of womanhood she was unitedin marriage to Mr. W. T. McGregor andproved a worthy helpmeet until hermaker saw fit to call her home. Amongtbe many strange workings of provi¬dence, we have thought the strangest ofthem aU is why should the young wifeand mother, just starting on life's voy¬age, to be called from her sphere of dutyhere in training her children for the lifeto come, and giving words of counsel tothose daily in contact with her here.'But every cloud has a silver lininsBehind a frowning providence our Sa¬viour hides a smiling face. We see

through a glass darkly now, but tbe timewill come when we shall see face to faceand know as we aro known. To thebereaved husband and six little children,the aged father, brothers and sisters, wetender our deepest sympathy. If wewho are left behind bnt emulate her vir¬tues we will some sweet day strike handswith her in that city, whose builder andmaker is Cod. The funeral was conduct¬ed at Mountain Creek Church by Rev.M. McGee, who a few years before offi¬ciated at her baptism and her marriage.Gently the passing spirit fled,Sustained by grace divine;

Ob, may such grace on us be shed,And make our end like thine.

Joyful, with all tbe strength I haveMy quivering lips should sing,

Where is thy boasted victory grave,And where oh death thy sting ?
