The regular monthly meeting of
the temperance workers was held
Sunday afternoon at Clear Pond
school house. Mr.. David Hill gave
an address. -,
It was the good pleasure of the
writer to accompany Mrs. Simmie
Sandifer to a family reunion near
Ehrhardt. This is an annual reunion
given in honor of Mesdames Lawton
Bishop and George Kinard by their
children and immediate relatives. In
due time we reached our first desti-
nation, Mrs. Sandifer's parents
home, Mr.. and Mrs. Kinard, where
we rested an hour and then one mile
further we found ourselves at the
home of Mr.. Adam Kinard, where
the feast was to be given, this being
the scenes of the childhood of Mes
danes Bishop and Kinard, they be-
ing the only surviving members OF
the Prescott (their maiden name)
family. Only a few were there when
we arrived, so we of course took
all in that we could, and let us add
that each family that arrived brought
boxes, baskets, buckets, pots, and
barrels of prepared dinner, with jars
and jugs of tea and coffee, and last
but not least, large frying pans and
larger vessels of lard. Mr.. Editor,
not long till it looked to an outsider
as though some house was on fire as
the smoke from the kitchen range,
kitchen and dining room fire places
began to ascend and the fnny tribe
were being Drowned to tempt the ap-
petite. Not long before we saw
movements around table that had
been prepared under the stately syc-
amores and cedars that stand in front
of the gate, when we noticed great
pans of fish, large pots of steamlng
coffee, large buckets and pitchers OF
iced tea being carried to the table
where the other plentiful spread had
been arranged. Blessings was asked
over the board by Mr.. Lawton Bish-
op, and all were soon doing full JUS
tice to their appetites by simply feast,
ing on the abundance of substantial
and dainty delicacies that had been
prepared by those hospitable folks.
We hope these folks to live to cele-
brate one hundred more reunions.
Those present were: Mr.. and Mrs.
Geo. Kinard, Messrs. Adam, Lewis,
Hammie and Eddie Kinard and
families, Mr.. and Mrs. Ellzey Cope
land. Mr.. and Mrs. Lawton Bishop,
their son and family, Mrs, Billy
Goodson and son, Mr.. and Mrs:
George Goodson and daughter, OF
Allendale, Mr.. Jeff Copeland and
family, Mr.. Isaac Carter, the Messrs.
Thomas, of Mt. Carmel, Mr.. Drawdy,
of Olar, Mrs. Simmie Sandifer and
Miss George Emma Jordan, of Bam-
berg. .
Mr.. and Mrs. H. F. Priester, of
Clear Pond, have the sympathy OF
their many friends in the death OF
their little daughter Susie. She was
taken Friday with hemorrhaglc te-
yer and on Sunday death claimed her
for it's own. Her remains were laid
to rest in Bethesda cemetery Monday
! afternoon. Little SUSIE" as she
was called, will be greatly missed by
many, especially her mother, as she
was very companionable for one OF
her years. Her school mates too
will miss her, and to all grieved ones
we extend our sympathy.
