day morning the news of Mr.. Kin
ards death spread rapidly and all
around could be heard expressions Of
sorrow at the death and words Of
praise for the life of James Henry
Matthias Kinard, the third child Of the
late Solomon P and Susan Kinard,
of Newberry, good old people who
were known and loved by all in the
community and surrounding country.

year ago last Friday he left Newberry
to make his home with his daughter in
Augusta. When he left he had Or

previously having had a slight stroke
Of paralysis. Mr.. Kinard was sixty
three years old on the 3rd instant,

and his parents moved to town in his
infancy. On October 4, 1868, Mr.. Kin

man, prompt and regular and steady
