hts infancy, according to days, but
after all the date, 1916, seems old.
Time is flying. 1t seems short as it
passes away.
L met man sometime ago who
said he was going to lecture and
asked him what was his subject. He
said 1T would be on the future and
thought that was strange subject,
but he said he judged the future by
the past. l wanted to hear him but
he was going one end of the road and
the other, so we may never meet
again.
AS take time to write my weekly
letter my thoughts are many, like my
other letter last week. Now | lost
some of my dots as took them down
and l can't recollect some things as
| thought l would.
This writer met many young la
dies and young men going to the diff
ferent schools and colleges. Some to
teach and some pupils.
Well, | spent some of the Christ
mas holidays in the Adamsburg and
Wesley Chapel section.
| SPShC IhS HlSlI dC Jne nome OF
Mrs. Gist Farr and son, Mr.. J. w.
Farr, where we were treated with so
much kind hospitality.
L attended the box supper given at
the Wesley Chapel school house,
where Mr.. Hughes Johnson is teach
ing. Mr.. Johnson is a wide awake
young man and is making good
teacher. They took in $2S This will
90 for the benefit of their school in
furnishing athletic sports and fun for
the pupils.
visited Mr.. James Farr, who tells
me he made 300 bushels of potatoes;
sold 100 bushels to one man. Mr..
Farr used to be on the widowey's list
but we find now wife in his home.
who knows how to prepare the good
things to eat.
L read Mr.. Editors letter about Mr..
Telephone and as 1 read I thought
that was spreading flowers. That is
what | like to hear and see. Tell the
good things about your fellow man
while he is living. Don't wait till he
is dead and then strew the flowers
on his grave, but if he deserves a
good word tell it now. Don't wait
till he dies and then say he was a
pretty good fellow. 1t will do no
good then. l will say I have known
w. ii. S. Harris all my life He was
the one that joined me into holy we'd
lock. He married me and | remember
what he said to me after we we're
married, and | will repeat it and if he
reads this letter which l hope he will
or have some one to read. He will
remember it. He said, "Don't both
get mad at the same time and YOU
will likely have no quarrels, and never
stop courting her, but always keep re-
peating the past courtship." So YOU
see, boys, it is natural with me for I
was always used to it, and am at it
again.
| will say for Mr.. Harris that I
have always found him good friend.
He and my father were good friends,
transacting business, making land
deeds and doing other business for
him. He was a magistrate at that
time and also good adviser and |
had as soon have his advice as most
lawyers. He deserves more than 7
can say, but 1 will say that when
he goes that journey whence no trav-
eller returns he will be greatly
missed.
I hear today that Mrs. Sallev Will
lard of Spartanburg county, who
moved from this county few years
ago, died few days ago with pneu-
monia. Mrs. Willard was daughter
of Mr.. William Hart, of this county.
Her father and mother died in this
county several years ago.
Mrs. d. G. White, her daughter,
who lives in this section was sum-
moned to her bedside and got there
just in time to see her before she
died. This was Mrs. Willard's desire.
She wanted to see her daughter and
grandchildren, which she did, and
recognized them. And then in few
minutes she passed to that great be-
yond. This good woman has many
friends and relatives in this county
to mourn her loss and the family has
the sympathy of all.
Mrs. l.. j. Gault is in Steedley hos
pital in Spartanburg, where she was
operated on for gall stone. She is
doing very well at this time.
