And just word here to the regular
patrons of the library. AS each and
every member of the association is re-
garded friend to the cause, and natu-
rally supposed to be co-worker with
the librarian, we would suggest that as
a book is read that when necessary any
slight repairs on the paper cover be
made, which can so readily bo done by
the timely use of the glue brush, and il
done will save untold trouble for the
librarian. The public, of course, is
aware that the office of librarian is not a
paid one and the work is carried on from
month to month by the young ladies
who gladly do it from a standpoint OF
unselfish interest," the spirit of which is
most admirable indeed.
On last Friday, July 4th, the spirit of
Mr.. Thomas Harper took its fight and is
now at rest with Him whose faithful ser.
want he has been for a long number of
years: Mr.. Harper had been in feeble
health for five years and suffered in the
meantime several slight strokes of paraly-
sis. He was patient sufferer, showing
always Christians resignation and for
titude. He was born in Anderson county,
South Carolina, November 8, 1917, and
was twice married. His first wife was
Miss Elizabeth A. Wilson, to whom he
was married May 25th, 1843. By this
marriage ten children were born, five of
whom are still living. His second wife
was Mrs. Kittie Alexander, of Pickens
county, to whom he was married August
9th, 1882, who lives to mourn his death.
Mr.. Harper removed from Anderson to
Oconee county in the fall of 1860. He
united with the Baptist church when a
young man and lived the religion he pro-
fessed. To the stricken wife, tho chill
dren and grandchildren is extended the
sympathies of the community. The re-
mains were inferred on Saturday after
noon at the cemetery here, after services
at the Baptist church, conducted by Rev.
ID. W. Hiott and the pastor, Rev. Mr..
Moore. NJ. g.
