THE TRIBE OF SMITH.
They Hold a Reunion and Brag About Their
Good Looks.
[Anderson Daily Mail, July 25.1

Anderson Daily Mail, July 25.
The most delightful and instructive
occasion within the recollection of the
oldest citizens of the Lebanon section
was the annual reunion on Wednesday,
July 23d, 1902, of the descendants of
Jonathan Smith, at the old homestead of
Nimrod Tillman Smith. About three
hundred persons were present to partic-
pate in the reunion and every one was
loud in his praises of the broad hospi-
tality of the Smith connection.
Mr.. Robt. NJ. Burns called the meeting
to order and introduced the orator of
day, Judge d. A. Smith, of Walhalla.
Judge Smith then read a carefully pre-
pared sketch of the genealogy OF the
Smith family, which was remarkable for
its accuracy of detail and depth of re-
search, claiming and proving the title of
the Smith family to long and honorable
record, second to none of those who lay
claim to noble ancestral prestige.
The carefully collected and methodi-
cally arranged data presented by Judge
Smith was so complete that 1t was de-
cided to verify and extend it, re-edit it
and have it put in pamphlet or book
form, and for this purpose committee
was appointed consisting of Judge D. A.
Smith, John Baylis Smith, Whitaker w.
Smith, Luther p. Smith and Thomas A.
hdGlle. Ibis COHTnlCCee hopes TO be
able to present a complete and accurate
family history with the aid of the in
dividual descendants of Jonathan Smith,
and they request that the head of each
household prepare at once statement
showing the name of his father and
mother, grandfather and grandmother
and the names of his wife and children
and hand the same to some member OF
the committee.
After a sumptuous and much relished
al fresco dinner Mr.. Luther P. Smith
entertained the crowd in q very neat and
witty discourse on Smiths, their charac-
teristics, etc. He dwelt at length upon
Judge Smiths statement that one of the
old patriarchal Smiths was said to have
been very homely, in fact ugly, so ugly
tradition says, that he was afraid to
sleep by himself. Mr.. Smith repelled
Indignantly the insinuation that this
man could have been an ancestor of his
The following resolutions were unani
mously adopted:
Resolved, That we have listened with
pleasure to the address of Judge d. A.
Smith, giving a sketch of the Smith
family, and hereby tender to him oui
very sincere thanks for the same; and
Resolved, further, That we hereby
tender our very sincere thanks to Messrs.
Joseph Smith and l.. p. Smith and all
others who contributed to bringing about
this pleasant assemblage and all it's at
tendant pleasures. X.
