Last Sunday +. E. Cuff invited
his brothers and sisters to his home
one mile north of Camden, where,
with his aged mother and several
other invited friends, they spent a
day that will be long remem bered
by all present. No one knows bet

were there in debt to them for a
great day.
In many respects the Cuff fami-
ly is a remarkable one, holding a
place of prominence in the county
for years past. Grandmother Cuff
is in her 92nd year. but looks young
and is yet active as some people at
CO. Her presence was a benedic-
ton to us all.
The family consists of six sons
and daughters: Monroe Cuff, F.
E. Cuff, Mrs. j. M. Utley, Mrs. j.
G. Warrick, Mrs. j. F. Pafford and
