GEO. S. MOWER

] do not hesitate to say that in the
death of Geo. S. Mower this commun-
ity has lost the best citizen lit had,
in those things which count most in
the making of citizen. He was gentle
and kind, yet firm in his convictions
and opinions, charitable in all of his
actions and deeds, and never vaunted
his acts of charity to be seen of men.
He never spoke unkindly of his fel-
bowman, and l do not believe ever
thought unkindly of any one.
No man who ever lived in this COM
munity has helped as many people
who needed help as Geo. Mower, and
he never by word or sign made any
one of them feel that he was under
obligation to him. There are people
who will help you when you need it,
but they will also continually remind
you of what they have done for you,
but not Geo. Mower.
/ fee. and know that in his death
! have lost the best friend | ever had,
and that his like will never come my
way again. In fact always had a
feeling that he was part of The Her
aid and News. He has helped to tide
it over many hard place in the road,
and if sometime there should be an
editorial with which he did not agree,
never word from him to try to IN
fuence the opinion of the editor.
Such men are rare and far between,
pity it is. I never went to him in all
our acquaintance and friendship for
a favor or for help, and came away
empty handed. And he would always
be so pleasant and nice about what
he did and so unselfsh.
Such man should be called great,
and is a great man. And not simply
because he helped me do / say this,
but he has treated hundreds of others
in the same manner, and no one will
ever know what he has done, but the
recipients of his goodness and him
self.
: PITY that such a man so useful to
. his .feNowman, and so generous in
his helping hand, should have TO die.
But that is the fate of all nfortals,
out Geo. Mower will be remembered
for what he has unselfshly done to
help those who really needed help.
Sometimes he has been imposed upon,
but he never grumbled or complained
'tFading away like the stars of the
morning,
Losing their light in the glorious
Thus would we pass from the earth

When the bright crowns of rejoicing

Mother, you are growing old,
Silver threads among the gold,
And you move about so slow,
You are growing old, you know.

You kept busy all the time,
And everything was clean and neat,
We never minded what you had to
When the children all were small
You came and went at beck and call; !;
Now, they nearly all are grown,
You're not needed in our home
Daughter says you're in the way
When her friends come here to stay,
And you make her fuss and fret,
So home you'll have to get.
Yes, my dear and loving son,
Mothers work is nearly done,
And her dim old eyes grow bright,
She'd another home in sight.
The next morn they found her dead,
Lying in her chamber bed;
She had climbed the golden stair
There was room for mother there.

That Grandma Green had passed
away,
And that her son, an only child,
With grief for her was nearly wild.

The old home was in Edgefeld but
it is now in Greenwood county, though
it is at the same place. When the
county of Greenwood was formed this
section of Edgefeld was cut into the
new county. The first home was
down here in Newberry county near
Jolly Street, at what I call the Aull
Hills, where my grandfather settled
about 1925, the house that now stands
there was built in 1882 and he had
lived there for several years before
this house was built. My fathers
family moved to Edgefeld, the pres
ent home, about 1872 or 1878. The
old home down at Jolly Street has
been in the family around one hum
dred years. -

| noticed that the signs or markers
had been placed at the crossings or
forks of the roads in Greenwood, and
that there at Dyson the distance to
Newberry is put down at 23.4 miles,
and as | thought that was wrong |
made a measurement myself and the
distance from this place to Newberry
is lust 25.5 miles and that makes the
distance to Newberry from Green
wood only 40 miles, 25 miles less than
around by Laurens. That is counting
the distance by way of Silverstreet
and Deadfall, and when the road is
completed it may be shortened to
conform to the sign, because a good
many curves have been taken out and
no doubt many more will be cut out
before the road reaches the river that
separates the two counties. But
these signs are good things, they help
the stranger to fnd lis way and then
it is always a comfort in travelling in
a strange land to know the distance
from place to place.

not visit as often as we should. We
are all in too big hurry. We have
no time for such pleasant pastime. We
must ride in our automobile. We are
all restless. We must be moving
about all the while. That is all right
in a way, but we should have time
to get acquainted with one another,
and to do so we must sit in one an
others front porches and talk to-
gether and be social and it will help
all of US. Now the good people of
this town invite you to come and
spend the day with them next week,
and we will all talk together and
trade together and have a real good
time and forget about the boil wee
vii and the hard times and the scar
city of money. And that reminds u
to say that the federal bank has made
the announcement, or somebody up
there at Washington, that the war
board will have all the money that
will be necessary to open trade with
the countries that need what we have
to sell, but have not the money, and
this board is authorized to extend the
credit which viii mean a market for
cotton, corn and wheat and the other
things, and we notice that Mr.. Man
ming who has just returned from
abroad says that Germany has ar
ranged to buy a whole lot Of cotton
and that business is reviving over
there, and this should make US feel
good, and while it is not particularly
on the line we started out to write
about, yet if these statements are
true this will help very largely to
make next week a real gala week in
INewberry. Credit is what these peo-
pie oyer the seas, who are starving,
need, and they will go to work and
paw US, too, and that is the reason
we have felt that the only way to get
the channels of trade open and the
ships moving was for the government
to do it, and so arrange the thing that
the world might be fed and clothed.
In this day Of quick transportation
and the world being as near together
as it is there is no reason why one
part of it should have such an abun-
dance: that all business is stagnant,
and another part starving and freez-
ing for the actual necessities. Some
thing wrong and the revival of the
war board will help largely in clear
ing the channel and putting the ships
TO sailing.
. So let us all get together next week
and have real good time and forget
dull care for the time. Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, four
days, the band will play and the town
will be dressed up and the welcome
will be just little more soul-stirring
than on ordinary occasions and every
one will extend the glad hand just
little more strongly and we will all
have a good time together, with one
another.
And then look out for the next two
,, issues of The Herald and News and
/ learn where you can find the things
YOU want to buy at the prices that
will remind you of the days before
the war, when a dollar will do double
duty.
But whether you want to buy or not
come to see US and we will take
drink of good Newberry water TO-
gether in friendly social sort OF
way, and talk about the good old days
and the better days that are to come.

also in clover" | am glad that there
are many of these gatherings, and l
am always glad to print something
about them. As for speech making
there has not been so much of that
at any of them so far as l have OBJ
served, but if there has been it is all
right. The more of them we have the
better we are for the having.
Feeling this way about it have not
only encouraged it in other families
but have had several in my family.
And especially are they pleasant and
helpful so long as the father and mo-
ther are living, and even when one
or both have passed it is pleasant and
profitable for the brothers and sisters
to come together, and it is more pleas
ant if the reunion can be had at the
old home place where the happy. days
Of childhood were spent. And it is not
advisable to wait too long to begin
with the reunion l suggested
the reunion in my fathers and mo-
theirs family few years ago, and we
have found the gatherings not only
pleasant but profitable. We have
been blessed in many respects beyond
many families, but mainly and chief
ly in that father and mother are both
living and in good health and in pos
session of all their physical and men
tai faculties, and they have reached
the more than four score years Which
may be had by reason of strength.
There were seven children born to
them, and all but one are living, and
the one that has passed died in infan-
cy some sixty years ago. We have
made the effort to have these gather
ings on the anniversary of the mar
riage, the 22nd of May, but have had
to vary the date to meet conditions.
This year it was two months late
owing to the sickness of the mother
at the time. ann grateful and thank
full to the All2wise Ruler that they
have been spared to US all these years.
/ have extended the invitations be-
yond the immediate family, that is to
say to the nephews and nieces and
their husbands and wives, and of
course to some friends, and they have
all seemed to enjoy the gatherings,
so much so that it is our purpose to
continue these gatherings at least so
long as the parents are spared to US.
Only four of the children could be
there this year, much to the regret of
all of us. Mr.. and Mrs. Nathan Aull
and Rev. and Mrs. w. B. Aull and
children were absent, DR.. and Mrs. w.
w. Daniel were there, though their
children could not come. Mr.. and
Mrs. L. B. Aull were present though
their son was absent. Mr.. and Mrs.
A. D. Zimmerman live at the old home
with father and mother, and of my
family the oldest son John K. Aull
and his wife and daughter were kept
away by the rain, and my youngest
son Humbert Aull could not leave his
work at Winston-SalemS. Altogether
though it was very happy occasion.
Except in my family the death angel
has not visited in any Of the families
of the children, and so we have been
greatly blessed.
