THE BROWN REUNION

A very interesting family reunion
was held at Long Cane church last
Saturday when all the Browns met
together with their families and
spent the day talking over old times.
The Brown family had been con-
nected for many years with the his
tory and affairs of old Long Cane
church and it was fitting that the
families should meet again Gin a
place made hallowed by the dust of
their ancestors and friends.
The heads of the Brown family
now are Messsrs. John Brown, Sam
Brown, Andrew Brown and Mrs. Ma
pier and Mrs. Reagan. After the
manner .of the old Scotch Irish set
tiers, one brother moved on to In
diana and one of the special guests
Saturday was Miss Emma Brown
who came from Indiana to meet and
! know her South Carolina kin. Rela-
tives came from all the surround
ing towns and counties, over a hun
dred guests being present.
In the morning exercises were
held in the church consisting of a
song service. the psalms of David, in
long and short metre being used. A
prayer was offered by Mr.. Horace
Brown and a history of the church
was given. Long Cane has had five
pastors, Rev. Thos. Clark, Rev. Por-
ter, DR.. w. R. Hemphill, DR.. Sloan
and Rev. R. F. Bradley. DR.. Clark
preached in the open at first and Sat-
!urday the two trees between which
stood the pulpit, were visited by the
Browns, their forefathers having
listened to DR.. Clark. In 1843 the
present church was built and always
there has been a Brown on the men,
bership roll.
Among the honored guests of the
day were Mrs. Sallie Bradley, Miss
Statia Wideman and Mrs. j. C.
Klugh. The Bradley's and the
Browns have lived in the same COM
munity for generations and the his
tory Of Long Cane is the history of
these two families.
At mid day a bountiful dinner was
served and the afternoon was spent
in conversation and visiting the
many points of interest around the
old church.

County Poor Commission Is Well
Pleased With Woman Auxiliary

The county poor commissioners
speak in the highest terms Of the work
being done by the women who were
placed on a committee to assist the
commissioners in their canvass OF the
county dependents.
One Of the commissioners in speak
ing OF the work that is being done by
the women says that il is beyond
even the fondest expectations OF the
commission.
The women look up cases that are
reported TO them or TO the commission
and advise the commission as TO the
necessity for aid being given in the
different cases. SO far the work has
gone tremendously within the com
mittee and the commission and is re-
flecting great credit both upon the wo-
men who do the work and the commits
sioners who work so well with them.

VERDICT OF THE PRIMARY WAS
CONFIRMED AT THE ELECTION
SOLDIERS BONUS CARRIED
Corbett Beaten at Mansfield in a
Very Strenuous Fight : Davis
Won in Township

The victory which James ]. Gaffney
won in the primary election was CON
frmed at the polls last Monday when
he beat Axel Axelson by majority
|of 1913. At the primary Mr.. Gaffney's
majority was 2l5 and casual glance
at the returns last Monday would
lead one to beliye that he lost votes
in the election. An analysis OF the
vote shows that such is not the case.
Mr.. Axelson made splendid fight for
the election, making a close canvass
OF every household, especially in the
second ward. The result was that
Axelson got more Of the new votes
than Gaffney did.
For example, in the second ward
Mr., Gaffney received on primary day
217 votes in that precinct. On election
day he received 22S; Mr.. Axelson re-
eeiyed in the same ward on primary
day 167 but on election day he re-
ceived 2l6. Gaffney pulled ahead ov-
er his primary vote in the third ward
by Is votes while Axelson lost from
his primary vote in the same ward.
In the first Axelson got one more OF
the increase than did Gaffney.
II was fine race on the part OF
both men and neither need be asham-
ed Of his work. The vote was not so
much Reputation of Mr.. Axelson
as il was an approval OF the stand
that Mr.. Gaffney took. The election
proved conclusively that Crystal Falls
people know their own minds and
vote independently a mighty fine
thing for good citizenship.

wards was:

tract to do the grading for the new
track at the odgers mine has com
menced getting his equipment ready.

BATES NINE CLOSED

The Bates mine closed during the

ties by another labor employing agen-
cy. Last week the mines OF the Rog-
rs-Brown interests, the Iiiawatha
Rogers and chicagon were closed.
There was an erroneous rumor to the
effect that the rails were being taken
out OF the Chicagon. Such Is not the
case.
The closing OF the Bates mine leaves
only the Homer, Davidson, and Dober
working full time and the Baltic, Fo-
garty, Berkshire and James half time
on the west side OF Iron county. Our
friends over there are hit fully as
hard, IL not harder. than the east side

At the Bristol and Warner shaft
sinking only is being carried on while
at the Judson a small crew is main
tanned in development work.
There are not many more than 1000
men working in Iron county il we
figure two men TO a days work on the
half time basis.
This Is a very hard blow to this part
of the country but It Is not any worse
and hardly as severe as in some other
