Death of MIR. Henry c, Watson

After suffering 70: nearly a year,
the life of Mr.. Henry G. Watson
came to a peaceful close Friday
mrrning at the home of his mother,
n IS. VIRGINIA Watson, in Johnston.
Everything possible known to
science and human skill was done
to stay the malady that steadily
sapped his strength but there was
no permanent response to the treat
ment. Since Mr.. Watson was first
taken i'll, nearly a year ago, there
has been steady decline. His loved
ones and friends were prepared for
the worst, having been assured some
months ago tn 1t the end was only a
matter of time.
Mr.. Watson had a host of friends
in Edgefeld. He came 10 the coun-
ty.seat in 1894 to make his home,
having accepted a position in the
Office of clerk. of court while the
late John B. Hill filled this posi-
ton. He afterwards gave up this
position to engage in the livery
and livestock business. This he con-
Quoted successfully up to the time
he was seized with the fatal illness.
Mr.. Watson was not only very
popular here but he numbered his
friends by the hundreds in. all
parts of the county. He descended
from an old an honored family, one
that has had large part in making
the history of Edgefeld county in
the past. His father, Mr.. ]. II. Wat
son, served the county very faith
fully as treasurer for two or more
terms.
Besides his mother, Mr.. Watson
leaves I sisters, Mrs. Luther Lott,
of Americus, Ga, Mrs. 0. w. Pad
gett, Mrs. Fletcher Wright, Mrs.
Shelton Sawyer and Miss May Wat
son, of Johnston, and three broth
ers, Mr.. Edgar Watson of Ridge
Spring, Mr.. Mr.. :. J. Watson, OF
Johnson, and mir. l.. G. Watson
of Trenton.
The funeral was conducted Satur-
day morning by Dr. Z. Pendleton
Jones and Rev. E. G. Bailey, and
the interment took place i'll the

CHAPTER xy.


1t was half past three when Clifford
drove up to the door. With the screech-
ing of the horn that startled me so l
Jumped he notified us of his arrival.
We had been all ready at three, but
Miss Eden had made me take off my
coat and hat, and had also unwrapped
the baby.
"It will tire you to sit with your
wraps on, " she told me, "and you may
take cold. -
SO it took us several minutes to get
ready again.
81 thought 1 told you to be all
ready." Clifford grumbled when we
went ont. He had blown the born con.
stantly while we were again putting on
our wraps.
"We were all ready at three,'
answered, "but when you did not come
we took off our things"
"Well, now that you are ready, hur.
~ up and get in! l can't fool around
all day Just to give you ride" he
said, ungraciously.
A Reckless Drive.
AS soon as. almost before. we were
seated. he started off. At first he did
not drive so. very fast. and l enjoyed
the motion, the fresh air, and began
to think Ii was as Miss Eden had said,
and that l was foohshly anxious. 1t
was a lovely afternoon, and the car
rode very easily. But so soon as we
reached the open country, he opened up

are too young to shut yourself up. Try
to have Clifford go with you; but if he
refuses, why, so alone, or get some ons

had advised me as Mother did. 1 inn
agiped he had ministered to enough sick
bodies to know the symptoms of sick
soul. He knew l was sorrowing about
something, although he had never said
so to me.
We cant go through life without
getting many hurts" he told me one
day. II suppose the main thing is to
rise above the hurts, and, when we are
young, companionship is the greatest
help we can have-eongenial companion

During the days I lay too ill to rise,
l thought over this advice of Mothers
and the Doctors. Perhaps they were
right Perhaps, too, if Clifford saw
Others admiring me, he would again
show me some of the love and attention
he did when we were first married. So
l made up my mind that so soon as
could get out would return the few
calls that had been made on me; and
would also go to church.
