"I'll bother him as little as possible.

Major had already taken eleven months
since his daughters death to think
important things out. One evening
his grandson sat with him-the Major
seemed to like best to have young
George with him, so far as they were
able TO guess his preferences-and the
old gentleman made a queer gesture |;
he slapped his knee as if he had made
a sudden discovery. or else remember
ed that he had forgotten something.
George looked at him with an air OF
inquiry but said nothing. He had
grown to be almost as silent as his
grandfather. However, the Major
spoke without being questioned.

PLEA SAINT LAVONIA REUNION.
Family and Friends Of Mrs. Mary
Thrasher Gather.

One Of the most enjoyable occa-
sons Of the season was the birth
day dinner and family reunion which
was held at the home Of Mrs. Mary
Thrasher at Lavonia, Ga, on Oct.
10. 1t being Mrs. Thrasher's 6Sth
birthday, 1t was decided by her chill
dren and grandchildren to give her
a birthday dinner and have a family
reunion in one.
Mrs. Mary Thrasher is the widow
Of the late B. j. Thrasher, who re-
sided at Oakway, Oconee county, for
a number Of years, and she is a
daughter Of w. NJ. Whitfield de-
ceased, Of Fair Play. She was born
and reared in that section and has
many relatives and friends through
out Oconee, who will read Of this
happy occasion with much interest.
Only one brother, William Whit
field, Of Canon, Ga, and one sister,
Mrs. Maggie Brock, Of Fair Play,
survive. Mrs. Thrasher has nine liv-
ing children and three dead. She
also has As grandchildren and one
great-grand-child. The children are
as fellows: O. l.. Thrasher, Seneca;

NEW PRIEST TAKES CHARGE.
Rev. Thos. Mnckin Now Rector St
Francis Catholic Church..

Rev. Thos. j. Mackin, the new
rector of St. Francis Catholic
church, Walhalla, held his first SER
vice here on Sunday, Oct. &c. Rev.
Nackin- was FGcenLly made first reSi
dent pastor OF st. Joseph's church,
Anderson. Ho il also in charge Of
hhe newly created Anderson Missions,
(which comprise Walhalla, Clemson,
.gair Play. HartWell and other
places formerly attached to Green
vile. The Anderson parish and its
attached missions are now indc-
pendent Of Greenville. Walhalla
will continue, for a time at least, to
be visited on the fourth Sunday Of
each month.
! Father Mackin announced on Sun
day his intention Of visiting every
family in his missions. His cungre-
cation gave him a cordial welcome.
and after services waited to hold an
informal reception.
Rev. Geo. Dietz, until recently
curate of st. Mary's, Greenville, and
priest-in-charge Of Walhalla, has
within the last few weeks become
chaplain at the United States Pub
lie Health Service Hospital at Camp
Sewer. Father Dietz's health has
improved greatly since his relief
from mission work, and it is
expected that in a few months he
will be entirely restored to health.
Very probably he will pay visit
to Walhalla in the near future.
Many Walhalla people will re-
member Father Duff, who several
years ago had charge of Catholic mis-
sions in and around Walhalla. Faith
er Mackin brought word of Father
Duff's great success as a navy chap
lain. Chaplain Duff was senior chap
lain Of the American fleet in Eu-
ropean waters during the great war.
He enjoyed the distinction Of being
chosen chaplain to Admiral Sims
own ship, which honor was held all
through the duration of the war.
Father Duff was recently on visit
to Charleston as guest to Bishop
Russell, and there met Father Mack
