Mrs. ]. Y. Metz.

Again the death angel has visited
our midst and plucked taerefrom one
of the purest flowers that ever bloom
ed, casting pail Of gloom over the
hearts of many citizens of
Gaffney. On last Sunday, 22nd,
Mrs. Cecilia eMtz answered the
grim reaper's final summons and
gently passed over the river to re-
ceive the reward of noble life's long
service. During her existence of 76
years, the last II of which have been
spent in Gaffney, this good woman has
made for herself thousands Of friends,
who will cherish her memory and
keep it green in their hearts until they
themselves shall have answered the
same call to their last resting place.
Prior to her marriage Mrs. Metz liv-
ed in Charleston, and she also had
many friends and relatives in that
city, who will join the good people of
Gaffney in extending their heartfelt
sympathy to the bereaved family.
She is survived by her husband, Mr..
J. Y. Metz, and three children, Mr.
Prince Metz and Misses Dora and Par
thenia Metz all of whom live in Gaff
ney.
The interment took place at Oak
land cemetery on Monday afternoon
at o'clock. Mrs. Metz was devout
Roman Catholic and the ceremony was
conducted after the principles of her
faith by Father A. K. Gwynn of Green
Vile.
The News extends it's deepest SYM
pathy to her numerous friends
Cherokee News, 26th.
The deceased was known by some
of the Newberry people as she has
been here, years ago, on visits to her
brothers, the late Messrs. T. F. and
R. H. Greneker.
Mrs. Meetz has another surviving
daughter, Mrs. Minnie Britton, of At
lanta.
The subject of this sketch was
truly pious Christian woman if ever
there was one such on the face of the
earth. She has gone to her reward,
of the faithful who remain true to
the end.

Mr.. Bounce" Dennis, at his home
near Stoney Battery, had a narrow es-
cape from death by lightning on Fri
day evening about 7.30 o'clock After
that narrow escape he came near be-
ing drowned He and his wife were
standing on the steps to his dwelling
house when the lightning struck a
nearby tree. Mr.. Dennis had the baby
in his arms. The shock from the
bolt knocked them down to the
ground. When Mrs. Dennis regained
consciousness she found the baby
under Mr.. Dennis, who was still un-
conscious. Rescuing the baby, who
was not hurt, she made all possible
haste to the home of Mr.. Dennis
brother, Mr.. "Bub" Dennis, some dis

This News and Courier one day last
week had d good little editorial on
parks Among other truthful points,
it asserts that development Of the
park idea is a thing which tends to
make life more profitable in dollars
and cents as we'll as more pleasant
and more healthful" Lots of people
will be glad to read this. We know

The Dorchester Eagle last week got
off two excellent ideas which We hope
Newberry will adopt. Keep to the
right in walking and riding and don't
let water stand in the bitches on your
premises. Two old subjects, but the
Christian religion is an old matter, as
we'll as are many other good things
for that matter. It is we'll to call at
tention to these old ideas.
One thing we heard the lightning
did during the storm Of Sunday morn
ing was the striking of a telephone
wire at Mr.. S. P. Crotwell's residence,
running into the house and setting
fire to the window curtains and doing
other little damage. 1t would prob
ably have been a serious fire had not
Mr.. CrotWell been awake to eXtinguish
the flames.
The Newberry Herald and News
says: "The Orangeburg Times and
Democrat says that false alarm of
fire was rung in on Saturday night
about twelve There is one place
where they have no false alarms of
fire and it begins with '@h" and ends
with "l". The midnight fires burn
forever" No Orangeburger will ever
know that place of which ne speaks.

from Newberry will.
The tragedy which destroyed an
entire family was the most appalling
calamity that has ever occurred so
close to Newberry. The victims being
relatives of citizens of this place
makes it all the more terrible. The
relatives of the murdered family have
the deepest sympathy of everybody in
their great distress. The sudden news
of this awful crime was staggering to
the community at large and was a
shock to the whole town and county.
