Tribute of Respect from Cedar
Camp, NO79, w. o. w.
The Reaper, Death, has already
invaded the fair forest of Cedar
Camp, No. 70, and one of it's most
beautiful trees has been laid low.
& A Beckham was the incarna-
ton of the principles which con
stitute a gentleman. Handsome
In person, graceful in movement,
With that bearing which at ,nce
commended him to the best feel
ings of strangers, and With that
constancy of heart and nature
which endeared him more and
more to his friends, gentle and
winning in manners, his loss is a
loss which is felt with increasing
and painful force.
1t is hard to realize that G. A
Beckham is no more; harder still
to reconcile oneself to the vacant
place ut the camp fire of No. 70.
But though we deplore the loss of
our brother, and the foliage of
our forest is wet with the dews of
grief, yet we recognize, and re-
Joice in the fact that he does not
lie lifeless tree, but has only
been transplanted to that forest
whose saps flow on forever, whose
roots are deep bedded in celestial
soil, and whose leaves shall never
fade nor fall.
Brother Beckham was born
June 9th, 1867, was married in
November 1897 to Mrs Fannie
Cureton Beckham, and passed
from our mortal sight, no more
on earth to greet us, September
18th, 1899.
Farewell, dear brother, fare
well Let memory's flowers of

VAN WICK ITEMS.

The decline in the price of cot
ton has given some of our cotton
men and cotton raisers woe,be-
gone expression. Some of the
happy smiles of a week ago, have
been chilled by exploded air
castles IN the loss of anticipated
gains IN eight cent cotton. The
greater part of the cotton here
Is not going on market. There
has been very little shipped this
season. Cotton seed are bringing
a good price and are being sold
freely. Eighteen cents per bush
ell moves them.
Some of the cotton buyers of
Waxhaw, who have cotton here
are having it hauled by wagons as
they can get it moved by teams
cheaper than paying local freight
on the railroad.
There are good many cross
ties hoing placed on the right of
way along the G G & N r H. The
price has advanced to 81 cents
per tie.
Some Of our farmers are busy
sowing oats. They have q fine
season and good weather for this
important work. There would
be more oats put in this fall but
seed oats are scarce and niger
than of other years, which causes
good many to delay sowing for
the present. There will be yerv
little wheat sowed.
The cotton crop is about picked
and farmers are ready TO gather
their corn and they will be for
tunate if they can get it housed
before wet weather sets in. The
crop on the low lands is the best
for several years.
We notice that good MANY
schools have suspended dur,no
the busy gathering season, as a
number of pupils would have to
stop and help to save the crop.
Van Wyck school is still movino
on and its eight or ten scholars
have good elbow room these duvs.
AS we announced some time
ago wedding bells would ring
about Van Wyck in the near
future. They peaIed forth last
Wednesday and proclaimed the
marriage of Mr. Geo II Griffin to
Miss Alice Plyler, daughter of
Mr. L W Plyler, at his home, Oct
18th, at 3 p m in the presence of
a few relatives and friends. The
ceremony was performed by Rev
w W Ratchford. We extend to
the happy young couple our con
gratulatiOns and best wishes for a
smooth sail over life's tempestu-
GUS seas.
Madam Rumor says there are
other couples badly tangled in
Cupid's net and the bells will
ring soon again. Our observa-
tionS lead us to believe it, and will
report the happy occurrences at
the proper time.
