Obituary..

Levi D. Shealy, son of Pickens B.
and Amanda G. Shealy was born
May 17th, 1899, and departed this
life March Il, 1902, making his
stay on earth 2 years, 8 months and
27 days.
He leayes a father, mother, four
brothers, and FIVE sisters, beside a
large circle of relatives to mourn his
departure. He is not dead but
sleepeth and while we mourn over
the departed one we humbly bow to
the will of him who doeth all things
we'll and in this affliction our loss
will be his eternal gain.
These ashes too, this little dust,
Our Fathers care shall keep.
Till the last angel rise, and break
The long and dreary sleep.
Then loves soft dew DER every eye
Shall shed it's mildest rays,
And the long silent dust shall burst
With songs Of endless praise.

n Memoriam.

Mrs. Deborah L. Wingard nee
Williams, was born December 16,
1919 and departed this life February
"a, 1902 age 81 years, 2 months
and S days.
One sister, one daughter and FIVE
grand children survive her.
The deceased had been a widow
about SIS years and was we'll known
and beloved in her community, near
St.Peters EV. Lutheran church, Lex
ington county, S G. She connected
herself with Horeb, Methodist
church number OF years ago.
On account of her many lovely
Christian virtues she was highly
esteemed and fondly loved by all
who knew her. The funeral services
were conducted by the Reys. W. D.
Quick and J. G.. Graichen, the latter
preaching the sermon from 2 Cor.
5: l, to a large and sorrowful con-
gregation. The interment took place
in the family cemetery at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Elisha Cork
Most consoling is the reflection
that hers was the Christian s hope.
1T is the hope-the Christians hope
That calus the troubled spirit,
And bids him wait with patient heart
For joys that saints inherit.
A sun that sets, no. never.
Blesse hope of the Christian soul,
'Tis star that shines forever"

Mr.. W. H. Hendrix is happy or

Messrs. J. J. Long and Pierce
Amick' have gone into the lumber
business in the Dutch Fork.
We were pleased to see the
interesting notes from Lorena by
'Loyalty". Please come again.
Rumor says We are to have another
public road in our section. Public
roads are very nice if they are worked
but we have SO many roads already
that we have not the hands to keer
them in order. Why not make al
roads public and require every one
that owns land through which they
pass, keep them in proper condition
By doing 40 we will have no rough
country roads to travel.

men have been stronger in the conf

Wingsrd and fewer still have held
that confidence for so long a period.
Samuel Wingard was married the
second time to Mrs. Sawyer, the
mother of Rev. Stanmore>B. Sawyer,
a prominent minister of the Baptist
church, who still lives at his home
near Norway, S. G, honored and
