LOCKHART JUNCTION

Lockhart Junction, April 30.-The
weather is fair with cool nights. A
good rain would be acceptable in this
section at this time as the garden veg
etables are most in need of a good
rain. 1t is hoped we will get a rain
this week as the appearance is good
today and we hear the distant thunder
now.
The farmers in this section are about
through planting and l think that
everyone has planted great deal of
grain for feed stuff. l hear some say
they have planted more corn and cane
than they have been doing in the past.
Rev. Mr.. Speake and Miss Aisle
Smith of Union spoke at the Gault
school house last Saturday night to a
large gathering of people. They spoke
on preparedness and everyone enjoyed
their talks.
/ believe there will be more money
made in bread stuff than there will
be in cotton if the war goes on, so we
had better try and make food stuff to
do and some to sell.
Rev. J. S. Thrashcr attended the old
soldiers reunion at Chester last week.
He says he enjoyed himself.
Misses Mary Tweed and Josie
olet visiting relatives.
Misses Leila and Lula Gault of I'm
ion visited their brother, w. G. Gault,
Sunday, and attended Sunday school
at the Gault school, meeting their
friens who were glad to see them.
Miss Florence Haney, who has been
teaching school near Columbia, is at
home.
The schools of the county are all
just about ready to close. In some sec
tions their time is already out.
I attended the children's services at
Bethlehem church last Sunday night.
They had a fine program and was well
carried out.
This community was shocked by the
death of Mr.. A. j. Gallman. Mr.. Gall
man was taken sick last Friday morn
ing while he was starting to church to
attend the quarterly meeting held at
New Hope, where he was member.
He hadn't gone far before he had to
go back, he had gotten so sick. The
end came Sunday morning very sud-
denly, after the family thought he was
and death is sure and will come to all,
no sex is spared, no age exempted.
Mr.. Gallman was good citizen, was
Confederate soldier, had many friends.
He was 72 years of age. He has a
family of ID children, eight living and
six dead. He was a man of cheer
full disposition having a good word
for everybody. He will be missed in
the county, in his community, and in
his church, but he will be missed the
greatest in his home. What we say
about him will do him no good, but he
was one of our members of the church
that we could rely upon when it come
to aid and help the church financially.
He was elected as teacher of the Bible
class in the Sunday school. He was
buried at New Hope cemetery, the
30th inst, in the presence Of a large
concourse of friends. Rev. Mr.. Justus,
his pastor, and Rev. Mr.. Brown Of
Monarch conducted the services.
His wife and three children are left
at the home, Misses Etha, Louis and
Mr.. Jack Gallman. These are most
sorrewing ones and the one that can
see the vacant chai. and the vacant
place that never can be filled by father
any more. There are many relatives
and friends through the country that
are in sympathy with the bereaved
ones. These need not sorrow as those
that have no hope for Uncle Abe, as
we all knew him by that name, has
crossed over the river and is now
with the loved ones that have gone on
before. Moxy.
