' man also preached in the Meth¬ odist church on Sunday morn¬ ing, his text being "Follow Me,"
: Christ's command. Seldom has it been our good fortune to Jis-

At the conclusion of the ser- ' - mon, Kev. T. 0. O'Dell, the pas¬ tor, announced that Mr.   Cole¬ man would  lecture' at   night about his travels in the holy Iand,and it brought out a crowd, •every  seat in the   capacious 'building being occupied.   Tlie lecturer took his audience, as it >wer,e,    through    these    noted | ! places, giving them graphic and 'interesting facts and incidents -as he -.vm*nt along, exhibiting at 'the*sanae time curios,  such as ithe native words, minerals, &c.

Since then, he has devoted  his time to the cultivation  of  rice on his farm near the city.    He was preparing for another crop when he was so suddenly taken away.   He   had felt badly at tiinos for   several  weeks, but continued to attend to his busi¬ ness as usual. On Friday night, just two days before he died, he had a chill which soon termina¬ ted in a very  violent form of pneumonia.   On account of his age, his family and friends ap¬ prehended some serious termina¬ tion of the disease: but no one thought the end was so near. But no man can tell what a day may bring forth, and our bright¬ est hopes are often blasted in a moment   His pain was intense, but it was soon over and he has entered into rest.
The deceased was thrice mar¬ ried. His first marriage was with Miss Esther Jane Farrow, on the first of May 1S50. This happy relation was soon broken by the death of the young wife. He was married the second time to Mrs. Hannah M. Siau. Five sons, three of whom are now living, was the result of this union. The date of his second marriage was December twen¬ ty-eight, 1854. His third mar¬ riage was with Mrs. Martha Helen Bichardsou, who still survives. This, like first, was soon severed, tbey having been married since April 9th 1891.
From the best evidence we can gather, he united with the Jlfethodist Church in the year 1841. He was at that time only thirteen years old. What a les¬ son this should be to the boys and girls of this day! He lived a consistent Christian life until the day of his death, thus giving his entire life to God and the Church, As a member of the church, he was one of her strong pillars. He served as Steward more than twenty-five years, and as long as Superintendent of the Sunday School. In all theso relations he had the entire confidence of those with whom he was associated. He delight¬ ed in the prosperity of Zion. His place will be hard to fill. As a citizen, he lived above re¬ proach, and was the friend of all who knew him., He was educated at the Winyah Indigo Society School which he af ter-

Lee had crossed the Chickahominy and wa*   advancing on McClellan. The battle of Mechanicsville had been fought on the 26th? Jack¬ son   w«s coming on the field, having made connection with Lee's forces.   Haskell was serv¬ ing on the staff of  Gen.   D. R. Jones, but being indisposed re¬ mained    at   headquarters for some time after Gen. Jones had gone towards the river to obser¬ ve the enemy. This did not suit him and although scarely in con¬ dition for any exertion at all ho mounted his horse and rode for¬ ward.   He   found  Gen* Jone. and    Gen.  Magruder oa high ground on the South side of the Chickahominy.     Beyond   the river in plain view the enemy were hurrying forward in dense columns to overwhelm our for¬ ces.   From recent heavy rains the river was out of its banks. There was no bridge to cross, but it was necessary to convey information    as  to the move¬ ments of the enemy to Gen-Lee. Col. Haskell rode a remarkably fine horse, once the property of Gen. Turner Ashby, and he un¬ dertook to deliver the message. He quickly made his way to the river, and soon the noble horse and its gallant rider were breas¬ ting the rushing waters. A line of the enemy's caTalry pickets caught sight of the daring rider and opened fire upon him and continued to fire until he reach¬ ed the North side -of the river and disappeared in a body of timber.   The message was deli¬ vered and Col. Haikell remained with Lor.gstreet until late in the evening he was directed by Longstreet to order tt.   H,   An¬ derson's brigade forward.   He did so, *Bnd going to the front he found many men icattered and broken.   He collected about 200 of these and forming on right of Whiting's division with a stand of colors in his hand advanced with them to within about fifty yards   of  the  enemy's breast works.   Here  his  little finger was shot and  broken  and his horse   wai  shot  and brought down to his knees.   He pulled his horso up »nd spurred him and the animal earned him and the flag right in  among the enemy and fell  dead catching
battery which was sweeping the plateau in their front. They rallied to a man around the flag which he still held in his hand and he led them forward with Hood's brigade as it made its second charge. At the very cannon's mouth his arm was torn into shreds and he fell still grasping the colors. There he lay until night had closed the conflict, when Gen Whiting, passing by, recognized him and had him conveyed to the fkld hospital where the wounded arm was temporarily bandaged and he was sent to Richmond. A few days afterwards the ampu tation was performed.

(Gloucester. (Mass.,) Daily Times)
The wedding of Mr. Walter fTodgkins, son  of Mr. and Mrs? Emory Hodgkins of that city and    Miss  Keturah G.  Carr, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sam¬ uel R, Carr of Georgetown, S. C, took place in Newport,   R. I. January 18, the ceremony being performed by the Kev.  W. F. Arrington, pastor of the First Baptist Church.   Only the im¬ mediate friends of the families were   present, there being no bridesmaids or best man.   The bride wore a traveling dress of grey trimmed with pink.   The wedding was followed by a re¬ ception,   and among the gifts was a silver service left by the bride's father at his death to be given her on  her marriage, a china dinner set, silver knives and forks and other handsome and    valuable    articles.    The bride   is a descendant of Ex- Governor Carr, who was chief magistrate of Rhode Island for several terms.

The Pork Market.
There is   something serious the matter with the pork mar¬ ket.    During the past   three weeki the price of pork (hams) has advanced in Chicago from $11 and $12 a barrel up to (18 and 19, and other hog products are high in  proportion.   Vari¬ ous theories have been started to account for the  rise.   One theory has it that there was dis¬ ease among the hogs in the sum¬ mer, and another has it that ou account of the over supply of the summer  before,   a  greut many people stopped fattening hogs for market.   Whatever the cause, however,  one  thing is certain, and that is the  pork supply ie very short-shorter than it has been for ten years or more, and the consumers every¬ where  are  catching   scissors. The moral in this country is this:   We have no business iu buying Northwestern pork any¬ way.   We should raise for our ourselves a sufficient supply to, do us, and right now, during tlio" month of January,  is a very good time to commence making arrangements to that   end.— Yorkville Enquirer.
