The interior of the church preaented
scene Of beauty and elegance with it's
elaborate decoration of palms, ferns,
white hydrangeas and pink roses that
permeated the air with their fragrance.
Numbers of lighted candles, and shaded

the impressiYAand lovely ceremony.
For half sesaur preceding the cere-
mony delightful musical program was
rendered. A quartet composed of Miss

On Sunday, June the thir-
teenth, there was a reunion of
the Hayes family at the home
of Misses Malinda and Susan
Hayes, daughters of the late Sol
ONION Hayes, who reside at their
fathers old home near Griffin
church in this county. This
property belonged to the grand
father Of these good ladies and
has been in possession of the
Hayes family for a period of
something like one hundred and
fifty years. Miss Malinda HAYES
has passed the seventy fourth
milepost and Miss Susan HAYES
her siXty-first. And this writer
was told that these old ladies'
live by themselves and by their
economy make their own living.
Recently some of the close
friends and relatives Of the kind
old ladies decided to make them
happy by giving them a birth
day dinner. Accordingly on the
above mentioned date about noon
relatives and friends began to
gather at the historic old home.
BY two o'clock there had assem-
bled about two hundred people
in the shade of the trees, and all
OF these except about twenty
five were relatives or connec
tions Of the Hayes family. There
were present at the reunion An
thongs, Andersons, Bagwells.
Browns, Childress', Clements,
Days, DORIS, Edens, Fowlers,'
Hayes, Hendricks, Jones, Mas
sengalcs, Medlirs, Morgans, Nc
Junkins, Nimmons, ,Stewarts and
Watsons. If there were any
others the writer failed to get
their names. When the dinner
had been spread and all had as.
sembled, the Rev. F.S. Childress
inyited Rev. NIL. Jones Of Pen
rose, N. g., formerly of this
state, to ask blessing, which he
did in his masterful yet humble
manner. Then everybody was
invited to partake Of one of the
the most bountiful repasts that
it has been the pleasure of your
humble scribe to witness. After
everybody had eaten to theil
hearts content there was senough
good things to eat taken up to
have fed the crowd again.
After dinner the crowd spent
about one hour in conversing on
general topics, the present and
future of our country, after
which there was song and
player service conducted by the
Rev. F. S. Childress, during
which Messrs. Childress and
Jones delivered two instructive
and edifying talks to attentive
and appreciative listeners. Mr..
James Clement was on hand
with his camera and made pho
tographs of the family, after
which the crowd began to dis
perse with regrets that they could
not stay longer, and that such
occasions do not occur oftener.
When the friends and relatives
were taking leave of each other
YOU could see the tears triclzling
down their cheeks, conscious of
the fact that this would be the
last time they would all be to-
gether this side of the great re-
unioni in the general resurrection,
when they all hoped to meet
their loved ones on the other
shore.
So ended one Of the most pleas
ant occasions that it has ever
been the pleasure Of your hum
bic scribe to witness. THIS.

we feel that the official count does

Edward S. Edwards, president of the
society, that the society is conducting
its finances in anything but a proper
manner. and met with vigorous de-

Mr.. Pilgrim attacked the financial
methods of the society. its general

of its agents, and in the questions
printed above followed up a line of
inquiry which had tended to show
that the S. p. c. A. agents took
their cases to justices of the peace
instead of to police court justices,
and had reasons for doing IT. Colonel
Edwards declared the only reason was
