The Uuiou Editor Knnw- Mr. Flcyd

Mr.. Lou Wash Floyd, of Newhery,
has purchased the Union Telephone
while the transfer was lot made public
until last Monday, we were aware OF
the fact that negotiations we're made
and possibly sale effected more than
q month ago, but knowing that the
parties interested were eMdcavoring to
keep the matter from the public, we
did not think it becoming TO make 1t
public under the circumstances. We
will say for Mr.. Floyd, that we know
him, and can say that be is business
man and hustler, he is very popular
in his home town, Newberry. And is
largely interested Ia the telephone
business, owning several lines. The
npople Of Union will like Wash Floyd.
He will improve the present service,
which will be appreciated, and will 10
doubt give entire satisfaction to the
euhscribers. rs.-Union Times, 31st.

: i MS COIL IuuiIy was W. LII NV -
shocked yesterday morning when 1t
was announced thas Mr.. G. f. Boyd
hat dropped dead in his yard. When
he arose yesterday morning he was in
his usual health and BRIG ht anil cheer
| full. After the fatal stroke he was car
ried to his house and medical aid sum-
: moned, but he never regaincd con
sciuusncss aud Gicd few moments af-
ter.
Mr.. Boyd was a son of Hugh K
BOYD, who was tax collector Of the
county fr,n 1886 to 1910 and ordinary
from 1S41 to 1851.
Mr.. Boyd wss born in September
1871, and was therefore ouly 60 years
of aye last September.
When the war between the States
came he volunteered IS Is member o.
Co. E, Third R giment, and acted as 1st
sergeant during the war. At the battle
of Cedar Creek, October 19, 1854, be
was shot through the lungs, but recov-
cred and rejoiued his company,
He was patriotic and devoted mem
Der OF the James D. Nance Camp Con-
federate Veterans and was its first ad-
jutant. Everything pertaining to the
history OF the great struggle for south
e:n independence or that looked to the
preservation Of that history or the
proper tribute to the memory OF the
brave boys who gave up their lives for
cause they believed to be right had
his most enthusiastic endorsement and
support.
In 1890 he was elected treasurer Of
Newbcrry County, and without dispar.
agement of any county official We can
say truthfuIly that The county never
had q more faithful or conscientious
public official or one who was more
generally loved and respected. In 1900
he voluntarily retired. If he had not he
could have been reelected without op-
position.
Newberry County never had a better
or more devoted son. 1t was our pleas
ure to have frequent and cOLstant busl-
ness relations with himsand we always
found him the sam3 true and honest
man, generous to fault. The county
and Stale can i'll sffOri: :, lose such men
and in lis death we feel the loss of 8
true and loyal friend.
In whatever Was for the up building
of his county or State, in whatever was
the advancement OF the church, or for
the hetterment of his feliowm %, you
never called on G. F. Boyd without get
ting generous and hearty response
not only IF his time but Of his means,
and cftentimes more than you could eX-
pect. He was true to his friends, gen.
erous to his enemies, if he had any, and
always the upright, straightforward
Christian gentleman. His church, his
county and bis State will miss him, no
less than the members of his immediate
family.
The fuueral services will be conducted
a. his late residence this afternoon at 2
o'clock. IntermGnt at Rosemont at
O'Clock.
