te,.have with us in his stead, Prof. Nc
Daniel, of the same place. Prof. Kirby

&c; from Six Mile to Cateechee and Bro.
Willis will have only two churches, Ca

earnest worker and we are glad to have
them with us.

on his farm just across the river from

still hold his job with the company.

The many friends of Mrs. Elizabeth
| Williams were grieved to learn of her
| death, which occurred at.the home of
her son, E. c. Williams, on Cateechee
Hill last Saturday night about O clock.
While Mrs. Williams has been very i'll
for some time, and her death was ex-
/ pected at any time, yet it casts gloom
over our town The deceased was about
81 years old and up to just few months
died when her children were quite small
and she had struggle to raise her
children, which she did with credit to
both them and herself. She lost one of
her hands in molasses mill in the time
OF it but she never did give up and con
tinued to work. She was a great talk
er and had q good conception of human
nature. She did despise lazy person.
She was member of the Baptist church
and leaves two sons, j. F. and T.. c..
| Williams, of Cateechee. She leaves
three living sisters, Mrs. l.. E. Robin
son M and a.. Caroline Clayton of Liberty and
Mrs; Singleton of OcOnee county and
one brother, James Clayton, of Liberty.
Her remains were inferred in Camp
Creek cemetery beside her daughter
and several grandchildren to await that
great day of resurrection when the Just
shall partake of the supper with Him in
| the air. r
