mingllng together: Mr.. Wood has
been married ffty-one years. He
and his devoted wife have lived
in the same place all of these
years. While they both are getting
up in years still they are in the
best of health.
The dinner, oh! such a dinner,
barbecued meats, hash and of the
very best. All kind of sweet meats,
pies and cakes. The table groaned
under the great burden. After more
than a hundred had eaten to their
satisfaction there was enough left
to have fed three times that many.
The afternoon was spent by the
young people in plays and games.
When the time came for all to GO
home all felt that they had good
time aud wished for Mr.. and

COLD SPRING.

Last Saturday and Sunday the
union meeting of the End division
of the Edgefeld association con-
vened with the Parksyille church.
The rains that fell or Friday be-
fore caused the land to be too wet
to work hence the farmers turned
out Saturday in great numbers.
The discussions on Saturday were
very interesting and helpful. ALI
who spoke had something to say,
and when il YVES said they sat
down. Brethren Rankin and
swindler of Mccormick Bro. Eas-
terling of Greenwood, Bro. Doyle
of the Methodist church were
present and took part in the dis.
cussion which added much to the
interest of the meeting. Saturday
evening at $3.50 o'clock Bro. Ran
kin preached splendid sermon,
his subject being from the Parable
os the Prodigal Son. Sunday morn
Ing bright and early the people
began to pour in from every di-
rection, so by 1890 O'Clock the
house was filled with people. After
prayer and song service Brethren
Littleichn and Bussey made short
talks on the Sunday school les
son. By this time the house was
filled to overfowing. Bro. Easter
ling, of Greenwood, preached the
missionary sermon. He selected
as text "Ge ye into all the world
and preach the gospel to every
creature" The sermon was great
one. and was thoroughly enjoyed
by the large congregation. Follow
ing the sermon a collection was
taken for the orphanage which
amounted to 80 or 39 dollars.
In the afternoon Bro. swindler
preached a sermon that was en-
joyed by all who heard it. All
who attended this uniyn could
not help but feel the presence
of Gods spirit. Behold how beau
tiful and pleasant it is for breth-
ren to dwell together in unity.
This was one of the best unions
we have held in years. The hos
pitality of the good people Of
Parksville was all that one could
aak or desire. The next union will
convene with Republican church
in September.

Old Ladies' Party Called Forth
Many "reminiscences.
1Written for last week.. g'.,..s..

Dear Mr.. Editor: In THE day
of frequent and varied entertain
ments, given as rule to young
people, an innovation in the form
Of an old ladies' party lie some
thing worthy of pleasant COM
ment. 1t was tie writer's pleasure
to attend a function of this kind
on Tuesday afternoon last, at the
beautiful home of Mrs. A. E. Pad
gett. This lady in her kind regard
for elderly ladies invited quite a
number of them to spend a few
hours with her at that time. Some
of the invited number were unable
to attend, much to their own re-
gret as we'll as that of the hesteess.
Of the twelve who sat at the
beautifully appointed table sever
al were echoolmates in ante bel
lum days, and many reminiscent
ces pertaining to that time were
given for the entertainment of the
party. Some of these incidents
were amusing, some pathetic and
all interesting. The Padgett man-
sion has a-peculiar charm for the
writer. as on a lovely June day,
fifty three years ago, a certain
young girl then staying in the
house received call from a. Ger
tain young man, who before leav-
ing timidly and modestly request
ed the girl 70 unite her fate with
his. She timidly and modestly as.
sented and the agreement culmi-
mated in long and happy mar.
ried life. You are not surprised
are you that we look with special
interest and affection on the dear
old house. And then to be enter
tained so royalty by the gracious
and graceful owner made the oc'
casicn delightful indeed.
Among the pathetic incidents
referred to is this, that of the foul
young men (H. A. g., c. j. G., A
L., and R. II. NJ, who so fire.
queutly sersnaded the young cir
inmates Of the house, only one
lives, the others having "pnssec
over the river" many years ego
And of the five girls E. L., A
B.. R. g., E. B. and 1. L., who
listened with such delight to those
serenades, two only are left, the
others having goneinto the "grea'
beyond" where Heavenly music
never ceases.
An incident which was amusing
but which came near being tragic
was as follows: TIE same young
men referred to above were oh'
evening ting the same girl
and while walking in the piazz'
were attacked by Tiger, the ferc'
watch dog belonging 10 the place
Tiger had found a hole in the wal
and being disturbed in his slum
ber by the voices of the youpl
people crept through and mad
coed his opportunity to rout to-
disturbers of his peace. 1t i
needless to say that there was a:
immediate and hasty retreat
those nearest the door going il
with some degree of dignity, bu
the others less fortunate scramb
ling in at windows without regart
to dignity, graceful movement o
danger TO life and limb, falling
head first into the room. The mex
time the visitors came they mad
anxious inquiry o. to the strength
of Tigers chain and if the hol'
in the wall had been repaired
These and many other incident
are remembered and often spokel
of by the writer and the .timit
young man" and help to endea

.r,nnrovement of Mill Operatives.

Improvement of Mill Operatives.
tt is encouraging to see the
money that is being expended and
the efforts that are being put forth
by presidents of cotton mills for
the betterment and improvement
of their operatives. Some adopt
one means to accomplish the de-
sired end, and :some another, &C
cording to the local conditions.
The officers of the Graniteville
Manufacturing Company, whose
property from every standpoint is
the peer of any in the country,
have erected a comfortable and
commodious building in which
innocent amusements and prof.
table pastime will be provided.
Instead of frequenting places that
are baneful in influence, the op-
eratiyes csn make this building
place of rendezvous during their
leisure hours.
Another instance is the mill at
Williamson. Mr.. James 81. Cos
sett, the president and one of the
most sagacious and far-sighted
business men in the state, is not
satisfied with making good divi-
dends for his stockholders but is
also doing something for the bei-
terment and development of his
people. Mr.. Gossett has arranged
for series of free lectures from
such men as DR.. Poteat of Fur
man University, Prof. John G.
Clinkscales of Wofford College,
and others of that class. The
greatest need of the vast majority
of mill operatives is education.
And as many of them are too old,
or for other reasons cannot enter
the school room, they can be
reached by such praiseworthy
means as Mr.. Gossett has adopted.
Would that other mill presidents
would adopt the same or, some
means similar to that employed
by Mr.. Gossett for the uplifting
and development of their opera
tivesl
