Two Family Reunions.
tn the Editor of The DisDatch:


August .26, 1907, the descendants,
neighbors and some friends, gathered
at the home of Mrs. Lizzie Keisler,
Priceville, Lexington county, S. c.,
to spend with her her 18th BIRTH
day. There are four children, twelve
grandchildren, and ten great grand
children.
A table had been prepared in the
shade beneath the giant oaks out in
the yard. At the noon hour a boun-
tiful dinner was spread upon this, to
the enjoyment of all present. After
dinner an abundance sof lemonade,
ice cream, and other refreshments
were served. The day was most
pleasantly spent, and we believe none
enjoyed it more than Mrs. Keisler,
who, tho feeble,l seemed to forget
her old age.
One week later similar event oc-
Cured at the home of Mr.. Fred Keis-
ler, a near neighbor of Mrs. Lizzie.
"Uncle Fred" as he is familiarly
called, is now in his S1st year. 1t had
been planned to have this family re-
union last spring, but owing to sick
ness in the family, it was postponed.
Here too, a rich repast was served
at the noon hour on table erected
in the grove near the spring for that
purpose. This was followed by ice
cream, lemonade, and other cold
drinks served during the afternoon.
Mr.. Keisler has eight children,
twenty-nine grandchildren and three
great grandchildren, together with
two children by second marriage.
Having attended both these reun-
ions, we could not help being i'm
pressed with the great service of
these aged people to the community
in which they live. They have both
been blessed in raising families of
pious, God-fearing children, who 60
ing forth have established other
Christian homes. Thus their inhu-
ence lives from one generation to the
next.
May the few, feeble, declining years
that remain to these aged people be
filled with the peace, JOY, and COM
fort of their Savior whom they have
served these many years!

of at least three terrorist plots within
