MI. W. A. l.. OllFer, u 1JOWlueSNllie Do5
years ago, has been here for q month or
two, tramping over the hills and valleys
that he knew so well in early life, and who
had been so cordially welcomed even by
the descendants of those that he knew in
boyhood and young manhood days, left
last Saturday morning for his home in
Gadsden, Ala. He carried back with him
to his Western home his niece, Miss Iva
Bowman, who will stay there for some
time.
According to notice an election was held
in this place last Saturday upon the ques-
ton Of issuing bonds to raise funds to
build and equip a modern and ~up-to-date
High school building. The result OF cleo
ton, 81 votes were cast in favor Of the
bonds and five against.
Mrs. Herbert Barnes and her three chill

with relatives for some time.
Mr.. Marion Baker, Of Washington, D.
e., who had been for several days attend
ing a house party at Mrs. A. c. Latimer's

week g and is still at the home OF his
grandmother, Mrs. T. Baker.
Mrs. j. Frank Harper and two children
OF Heardmont, Ga, came here last week
and is still with relatives here.
Miss Lula E. Freeze who had been here
some time with the family Of DR.. D.. ID.
Wilson, her cousin, left last week for An
derson, where she will spend a while, then
on to her home in North Carolina.
Mr.. Harry Bowling, Of Hampton, came
in Tuesday and lectured at 9 p. NJ. in the
High school building. For some reason
unknown to the writer the number OF at
tendants was quite small. Those who
heard him were we'll pleased.
Mr.. Junius Smith who has spent one
year in Wofford College came home last
week, spent q few days, then to McCor-
mick to work out at least a part Of his va
cation.
Miss Birdie Bell has spent some weeks
with relatives at Elberton.
Mr.. James Baskin, OF Clemson College,
as the scholastic term had ended, came
home where he will spend the most Ut his
vacation.
Mr.. j. Bruce Moseley, who Is in business
in Augusta, came home a short time ago,
went to Anderson, entered the hospital
and was operated upon for appendicitis
which was a success, came down last week
much improved, and is on the fair road to
regain his health and strength.
Mr.. r. H. Moseley spent several days in
Charleston this week in attendance upon
the State Bankers Association.
Last Thursday morning DR.. j. D. Wilson
and family. because Of seli-interest, moved
from this place to Due West. 1t expresses
1t in the mildest Of terms to say that over
a wide area the citizens deeply regretted
this move. Dr.. Wilson came to this place
in 1899, opened an Office and began the
practice of his chosen profession, Of which
he very soon made O success. Two or
three years afterward he was very fortu-
nate in being happily united in marriage
to Miss Ella Sherard, of Moffattsville, who
has proven to be indeed a helpmeet. DR..
| Wilson's popularity as q man and as a
physician gave to him a hold upon all far
and near, which strengthened as the days
passed by until the present time 1t Is very
trying indeed to become %reconciled to the
departure of this time honored friend.
Mrs. Wilson is entitled to a large share Of
the success which DIR. Wilson has gained
in his temporal affairs by her frugal eco
nomical management Of the home, and be-
yond a doubt she contributed in a large
measure to DR.. Wilson's success, socially
and professionally. Along all lines she
has proven to be q noble Christian woman.
They have three very interesting little
girls and one little boy; oil Of these will
be badly missed and their places will not
soon, if ever, be filled. Lowndesville's loss
will be Due Vests gain, and it is hoped by
all here that earth's choicest gifts will be
lgiven to them in all of the years to come.
| We but voice the feelings Of all OF our peo-
pie in bespeaking for them in their new
home that kind consideration and conf
dence which was given them here, which
they in such large measure so richly de-
Iserye. Troupe.
