DR.. w. j. Bowen, Specialist.
Dickens Sentinel-Journal. Nth

(Pickens Sentinel-Journal, 14th.)
The many friends in Pickens, the
old home of DR.. w. j. Bowen, will
learn with a great deal Of pleasure
that he, after years of study and eX-
pertinent, has discovered a sure treat
ment for fistula and cancer and is
meeting with great success in this
special work, so much so, that he
has about given up the work of
general practitioner His fame as a
specialist has gone abroad in the
land; even away beyond the borders
or his own State, and patients from
all over the country make pilgrim
ages to his home to be treated.
Periodically, to get away from the
rush Of work and to get a change. he
leaves home and Journeys over the
State, always in these perignations,
making Pickens and Walhalla his
objective points, as he has relatives
at both places. incidentally he min
listers unto suffering humanity as he
Journeys along on this pilgrimage.
Joel, as everybody in Pickens
calls him, will reach Pickens county
next week, and will be here Tuesday
and Wednesday, October 10th and
2Oth. He has several patients i'm the
county and would like for them all
to meet him on these two DAYS. as his
stay in town will necessarily be linn
tied.
After getting through treating his
patients here he will go to Walhalla,
Anderson Greenwood and Aiken,
This Is pretty long itinerary he is
making, and he has limited his time.
See him while you can and be cured.
He has made some wonderful cures
and his patients are loudly singing
his praises.
DR.. Bowen Is heightened, Chris
tian gentleman, and there Is none of
the fake or charlatan practices of the
quack about his methods. He gives
the benefit OF knowledge and expert
ence gained by years Of hard study
and practice and has made good in
his chosen profession.
Aside from the record he has made
abroad as physician, he is a Pick
ems county product, son of our good
friend, Hon, w. II. Bowen, and is we'll
and favorably known to our read
ers, many OF whom were his school
mates, and they are all exceedingly
proud Of the record he has made,
and take great pleasure In recon-
mending him to friends.

DEATH OF MRS. ROSE THOMPSON
Aged Lady Passed Peacefully Away
Last Saturday Morning.

Mrs. Rose Thompson, wife of Col.
Robert A. Thompson, died at her
home near Walhalla last. Saturday
morning at o'clock after linger-
Ing illness. She had been in declin-
ing health for long while, but her
condition was not alarming until q
few weeks ago, when she sustained
injuries by reason of fall, which
aggravated her illness and resulted
In Internal injuries, thus Fastening
the end
The deceased was consistent
member of the Walhalla Presbyte-
rian church, devout and earnest
Christian, and her long life was full
of deeds of kindness and charity.
She was from infancy member of
the Presbyterian church. Her mai
den name was v. Rose Starritt, and
she was born at Gainesville, Ca,
July 9Th, 1882. She received her
early school training in the public
schools of Georgia, completing her
education at the Female College at
Asheville, n. G. On the 27th day of
October, 1858, she was happily mar
ried to Col. Robert A. Thompson, the
ceremony being performed by Rev.
r. @. Ketchum, her pastor. To this
union eight children were born, six
Of whom are living. They are Robert
S. Thompson. Of Douglas, Ga; Chas.
J. Thompson, of Charlotte, N. c.;
Mrs. isabella Rowland, of Moores-
vile, N. c.; Miss Hadie Thompson,
of Walhalla; Pickens r. Thompson,
of Enoree, S. c.. and William H.
Thompson, of Charleston. Mrs. Liz
zie Keys, the second daughter, died
number of years ago, and one child
died lin infancy. The six living chill
dren, the aged husband and father
and the grandchildren were present
at the, time of Mrs. Thompson s
death, and the comfort of their pres
ence was a great blessing, to the in
valid. She was conscious to the last,
and it was typical of her passing
away that she gently fell on sleep"
Mrs. Thompson was II years Of
age last July, and much Of her long
and useful life was spent in and near
Walhalla, where she leaves, besides
her immediate family and connec-
ton, hosts of friends to mourn her
death. To the bereaved husband and
children the sympathy of the entire
community goes out.
On Sunday morning at II o'clock
luielai SERVICES were conducted In
the Walhalla Presbyterian church,
Rev. Geo. NJ. Wilcox, her pastor, con-
ducting the service at the church and
at the grave. A large concourse of
sorrowing friends followed the bier
to its last resting place in Westview
cemetery, where the interment took
place. The beautiful tributes made
her grave veritable floral mound, a
mute testimony to the love and es-
TEEN in which the departed one was
held by her friends and acquaint-
anCes.

Obituary-Samucl Werner Harbin.

Samuel Werner Harbin was born
August %, 1886, at Bachelors Re-
treat, S. c., and died April 4th, 1909.
His father, Thomas Witherspoon
Harbin, was a descendant Of the Rev
olutionary Witherspoons and Martha
-Pettigru, daughter of Bishop Petit
CRU, of North Carolina. His mother
was a Miss Reeder.
When the war broke out Mr.. Har-
bin went to the front with the Pal
metto harpshooters, Co. b, and
served faithfully three years. His
comrades say, Sam Harbin was al
ways ready to fight for his country,
and was a good, and brave soldier"
Nothing delighted him more than to
tell the younger generation war
stories.
In 1866 he married Mary Eliza
beth Shelor, daughter of Joseph Ry-
land Shelor. On their wedding day
Mrs. Harbin received from her ia
ther handsome farm on Tugaloo
river, where they moved and raised
family Of nine children, all now
living, and two children died in in
fancy. In 1908 Mr.. and Mrs. Harbin
moved to Lavonia, Ga. For five
years Mr.. Harbin had been an inva-
lid, but through it all he bore his
pains with Christian fortitude. Fifty
two years Of his life he gave to his
Master as a faithful member of the
South Union Baptist church. HIS
body rests in the churchyard there.
There was no mourning at the
bars when his soul embarked, for
he so lived as to be ready when he
crossed the bars to "see his Pilot
face to face, and tell the story, saved
by grace" made perfect through suf-
fering. Nj. r. &.

QUARTERLY CONFERENCE.
Fourth Quarterly Meeting Will Be
Held October 3Oth.

The fourth quarterly conference
of the Walhalla Circuit OF the Meth
odist church will be held in the Wal
halla church Saturday, October 30,
1903. Stewards, Sunday school SUI
perintendents, trustees, exhortets II
and local preachers are members OF
the quarterly conference, and all
such are requested to be present on
that date. The meeting will convene
at IL o'clock a. m.
This conference year Is rapidly
coming to close; therefore, let us
determine to make the year a sue
cess, which can be done by strong
effort on the part Of every member
of our church during the next few
weeks. There are two signs of pro-
gress in Methodism which never fail
"a deep spirituality and full = re-
ports; and remember that the for
mer will invariably produce the lat
ter. The financial reports of q spir-
itua]ly dead congregation may be
good, and often are, but the congre-
gaticn that loves God and cherishes
Methodism will seldom have a deficit
in it's finances.
Most of our stewards and the
churches which they respectively rep
resent have done we'll so far. A few,
however, have fallen short, but it is
hoped they will make a great effort
between now and October 80. If the
circuit is conspicuousiy successful in
meeting its obligations you will en-
JOY the consciousness that you have
done your part in producing such a
result.
We paid our. missionary assess
ment in the spring, and with COM
paratively little difficulty. Now let
us meet the conference claims with
the same determination to pay them
In full. The pastor has not pushed
the financial claims upon the church,
because he did not think it best to
do so-believing that the charge
was abundantly able and would pay
in full, and he is Of "the same opin-
ion STILL We will raise these
claims during the next few weeks at
the regular services.
Your cooperation and prayers are
indispensable to the success of the
church. We should, interest our
selves in the strengthening Of the
Kingdom of God as it is found in all
the churches, but at the same time
the Metho list Conference is expect
ing something from us and we are
peculiarly responsible for our part
of the work. Let us, therefore, by
united effort, keep Methodism in
the front ranks, and we can do this
without opposing any others.
Fraternally, Rhett Doyle.
