HARDY'S HAPPENINGS.
Unique Signs Over Door. Trip
to Augusta. Memorial Ser
vice at Sweetwater
Sunday.

| |
Some one asked where Hardy
j was? Hardy's church is in the same
place it has been for nearly hun
dred years, but this Hardy's moves
about all day and almost all night
I often remind myself of the story
told of a card on a Dago's store
"We never Sleep" Next door on
Chinaman's door another card ap
peared. ME wake too" So I an
wake so much + feel as though
never sleep.
Well as said this Hardy's moves
about. Went to Augusta last Wed
nesday to see the parade, but as il
was not to start until half past six
in the afternoon. I had to miss ii
as that would have put me in the
night with three children all asleep.
and that would never do. Mr.. Geo.
Wright and Mrs. McCartie carried
their children down and staid over
to see the parade and pronounced
it fine. Thought sure I would see
the one on Friday but the hour ap-
pointed was too late. Really it
seems as though they want to bar
the country people out by waiting
until so late in the afternoon to
start. While on Broad street we
saw that gracious gentleman, Mr..
Tom Rainsford and were sorry to
learn of his lovely lady's recent ILL
ness from grippe. Hope she may
soon be over the effects of it.
1t is useless for me to undertake
to say anything about the memorial
services at Sweetwater. Mr.. j. L..
Minis was there and can give a
much better account of it than |
could. But then we each one have
our own view point of everything.
My, how we all enjoyed that day!
Meeting so many dear friends and
remembering those who have gone
and been laid to rest out at the
Sweetwater cemetery. There were
people there from far and near. The
governor from Columbia, Mr.. Jim
Horn and wife from Ridge Spring,
Misses MupdY came with them from
visit to Mr.. and Mrs. Horn. They
were going home with Mr.. and
Mrs. John Mundy. Miss Sallie
Hammond from Augusta, whom we
ali love to have with US for she is
dear, sweet jolly soul. Miss May
Roper of North Augusta, these two
sweet girls came with their cousins
Mr.. Willie and Miss Lucille Burk-
halter. Several from Augusta, Ca,
and North Augusta. Trenton was
represented by Mrs. Dorian Swear
ingen and family, Mrs. Roper Day,
Mrs. Claud Wertz from Columbia,
Messrs. J. L. Minis, Orlan do Shep,
pard and B. Z. Nicholson and many
others from Edgefeld. MIR. and Mrs.
Sam Adams, Mrs. Laura Bunch and
Mrs. Iona Bunch came down from
Clark's Hill. All of these dear peo-
pie we were so glad to see and have
with US. And speaking of Clark
Hill brings back the delightful time
we enjoyed with those hospitable
people last August at the w. M
U. which also brings to mind oul
beloved treasurer, MRS. Fannie
Tompkins. We were SO shock
ed and grieved to learn of her sad
death, last Wednesday. She was
such such sweet, retiring lady.
Her timidity impressed me very
much. Sorry to learn of Mrs.
Samuel's death also.
Returning to the subject ot
Sweetwater memorial day. 1t was
quite touching when Mr.. Johr
Mathis was presented with three
chairs as the oldest deacon and fol
his helpfulness in every way, witt
things pertaining to church. He Ii
noble old gentleman, who is ia
down the hill of life, yet Away
cheerful.
We were sorry to hear of Mrs
Theresa Adams indisposition. Hop
she may soon be stronger, also Mrs
Sallie Bunch being too feeble t.
attend the services. She always love-
to be at such places and she wa
5 very much disappointed to have t
l give it up when the day came. Hop
when it rains she may feel better
Hardy's.
