We wish the happy couple much

We have not learned her exact age,

DEATH OF GOOD WOMAN
Mrs. H. c. Young Died At Her Home
Near Liberty

In the afternoon of December 28,
1921, the wife of Mr.. H. Cooley
Young passed into that great "bourn
from which no traveller e'er returns
Julia Townsend Young was born
April rs, 1884, daughter of the late
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Henry Town
send, of the Flat Rock section. She
and Mr.. II. c. Young of Libdcty
were married December 23, 1908.
He, with eight children-four boys
and four four girls, the youngest
an infant son of thirteen days-sur-
vive her; and the following brothers
and sisters: Mrs. A. A. Adams of
Easley, Mrs. Frank Sheriff of Ca
teechee and j. H. and I. e. Town
send of Liberty.
She joined the Flat Rock Baptist
church in her girlhood.
We cannot understand just why
SO devoted wife and mother should
be thus called, but to the trusting
soul comes the assurance that Gle
doeth all things well"-and the hope
of meeting her again "beyond this
vale of tears"
The day following her death the
funeral services were conducted by
Rev. Mr.. Anderson of Easley at the
Flat Rock church, after which her
remains were laid to rest in the
church cemetery.
Lois, the eldest child, and her sis
ter Marie are students in the Lib
erty high shool, Lois having won the
improvement Medal of the school
last year. A deep sympathy goes out
to these girls from both teachers
and students. Likewise, the entire
community extends sincere sympa-
thy to this bereaved family.

FIRE IN PICKENS
Oil Mill Seed House Burned Early
Saturday Morning

The cotton seed house of the Pick
ems Oil and Fertilizer Co., together
with about 1S0 tons of cotton seed,
fifty tons of huls and usual seed
house machinery, was destroyed by
fire which was discovered about $3.50
o'clock Saturday morning too late to
control. The loss is estimated at
about $4,000, partly covered by in
surance. Origin of the fire is un-
known, but it is thought to have
been caused by spontaneous COM
bustion of seed.
But for the recent wet weather
the fire would undoubtedly have
spread to other buildings. AS it
was the Pickens Inn was set on fire
several times and only heroic work
Of neighbors saved it and probably
other buildings.

PICKENS STEAD
lily GROWING

!, That the town of Pickens is surely
and steadily growing is proven by
substantial evidence on every hand.
The fact that every inch of office
space in town is taken up is a good
sign.
Several new residences are now be-
ing built. The handsome new house
of Mr.. "Zade' Cox on Hampton av-
enue is nearing completion. Hansell
Bivens has commenced the erection
Of a modern home next to his fathers
home on CLASSY Mountain street, and
Miss Elinor Knight is having pretty
bungalow built just opposite Mr.. Biv-
ems.
The Prcshyterians of Pickens ex-
pect to build new church house here
at an early day.
The waterworks system will be in
operation within week or two.
Every business house in town and
most Of the residences are having
water fixtures installed.
Much work is being done on the
streets Of Pickens and as soon as the
weather permits all the streets will
be put in tip top shape.
The addition Of Edwards G. Darsey
to the mercantile field Of Pickens will
add much value to Pickens rs a trad
ing point. They carry about $4,000
worth of goods moro than was carri-
cd by their predecessors. One who
has not visited their store will be
surprised at the cncrmity and variety
of the stock carried
The rest room being installed by
Fo]ger, Hendricks & Co. will also add
to the attractivcncss Of Pickcns as a
trading point for the ladies Of the
; community.
The Pickens Inn is being remodel
ed and its yards beautifcd, and many
other minor improvements are being,
made all over town. All of which
goes to show that our people are
awake and optimistic.

The enormous sale of cosmetics in
