smallpox from Whitney to Gaffney, is
about we'll. His infant child has
broken out with the disease. The
family has been moved to an isolated
house and is kept under strict guard,
which we think will prevent any more
cases. The city health authorities are
unrelenting in their efforts to stamp
out the disease. Everybody is being
vaccinated and the doctors and city
officers are still hunting for those they
have not yet reached. .''.'''''Mrs. Eliza.

Gaffney's ferry, on Broad river, this

her 10th year and was numbered
among the county's old and good

Baptist church, kind in disposition,
gentle in manners, ever watchful OF
the needs of the distressed, kind
neighbor and devoted to her family, OF
which four sons and one daughter,
Mrs. J. D. Bundy, of Texas, survive
her. ...'.'""The Rev. A. ]. S. Thomas,
