The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1920-09-14

Though haply Ger some of your
brows as o'er mine
The snow fall of time may be
stealing-what- then?
Like Alps in the sunset, thus lighted
by wine,
Well wear the gay tinge of youths
roses again.
And so it is with families, after
many years Of wandering and separ-
alton meeting together amid the
scenes of youth and childhood will
make amends for many weary years
of walking apart. And while the
snow fall Of time may be stealing
Ger one, yet such meetings will
bring back the glow of youth and we
forget the snow fall. Two Of the
sons of James Michael Sanders have
wandered far away from the old
home, one Of them to the great
northwest and the other to the far
away Pacific coast. 1t is not so easy
to get together, but the coming is the
more appreciated because of the
great distance that separates them,
and yet in this day we are beginning
to annhilate distance, and the Cali
fornia coast is not near so far away
as it once was.
Al any rate the children of James
Michael Sanders and his wife, Julia
Nickles, met at the home of Mr.. Will
liam H. Sanders upsi in No. Z town.
ship on Friday, September 8, and all
of them were present, and barbe-
cue dinner was served, and the neigh
bors and friends were invited to en-
joy the gathering, and a most delight
full day was spent. The only thing
that any one could exactly find fault
with, is that Mr.. Will Sanders lives
in this beautiful country place all
alone, when he should long ago have
gotten a good helpmeet to enjoy the
good things of life with him.
James Michael Sanders was mar
ried to Miss Julia Nickles in 1856.
