two years ago, and since that time

community, and about six years ago
moved to North Augusta with his
family and he and his son engaged
in business in Augusta. 1t was a
regret to all when they made their
home elsewhere, and the news of
Nj. Lofts death was learned here
with sorrow. He was a genial and
kindly man and none knew him but
to like him. He was a member of
the Baptist church, having placed
his letter in the North Augusta
Baptist church soon after his arriv,
al there. His pastor, Rev. j. w.
Allen accompanied the remains here
and conducted the service, being as
sisted by Rev. w. S. Brooke.

children, Messrs. Joe, Hugh and
Emsley Lott, and Misses Marina

On Wednesday, the Royal AM
bassadors, under the leadership of
Mesdames P. G. Stevens and S. j..
Watson, enjoyed a picnic at Smiths
pond, and many others went along
also, upon invitation. The boats
on the pond were a great attraction,
and with bathing suits, some of the
boys only left the water long enough
to enjoy the good dinner spread.
The members of the Lutheran
Sunday School had their annual pic
mic on Wednesday last, at Yonce's
pond, and every one present greatly
enjoyed the day. With so many
cars, the ride out was delightful.
