VAUGHAN

We are having plenty of rain and
there is controversy as to the
grond hog prophecy. Some say he
did not see his shadow, so he staid
out and that means forty days of fine
weather. Others say later in the day
when the sun was out and he saw his
shadow. He went back for forty days
of bad weather. We think the former
is true ourselves.
Rev. "A. B. Smith filled his appoint
ment Saturday afternoon at David's
Grove and preached an able sermon
but was rained out Sunday morning.
Mr.. Smith will preach here the first
Saturday afternoon at 8 o'clock and
Sunday morning following until
further notice.

CONFEDERATE VETERAN
DIES AT RIPE ACE

Mr.. John n. Sanders, we'll known
and much beloved citizen died at hi
home near Pageland Thursday after
noon, February 2, 1922, after an ill
ness of two weeks. He had alway.
been very active man until abou
four or five years ago when he begar
growing feeble but had never become
helpless until just two weeks before
ne died with a stroke of paralysis
which rendered him helpless, although
he was conscious and could talk al
most until the last.
Mr.. Sanders was probably the old.
est citizen Of his community. He was
born November 7, 1887 and was
therefore over 85 years of age, and
had lived his entire life in this COM
Inunity.
He married Miss Francis Beaver
before the Civil War, who preceded
him to the Great Beyond six years,
and since her death it has been his
great desire to follow her soon, Their
devotion to each other was truly re-
markable.
Mr.. Sanders was a gallant soldier
of the Confederate war. He served the
full four years and was a member of
the 26th S c Regiment, Company E.
He was consecrated Christian, be-
ing member of Five Forks Metho-
dist Church, where he served as Su-
perintendent about thirty years.
Funeral services were conducted
by his pastor, the Rev. w. v. Jerman.
lnterment was made in the Zion
Church cemetery, Friday afternoon
at $3.50 o'clock. A large concourse of
friends and relatives had gathered
there to pay their last respects to
him, and to show the high esteem he
had held in their lives. He was buried
with Masonic honors, having been a
Mason himself over forty years.
Surviving him are one son, Mr.. j.
c. Sanders, and one daughter, Mrs.
A. F. Threat, both of near Pageland.
His friends are numbered by all
who knew him and this community
has surely lost valuable friend.
The bereaved family and loved
ones have the deepest sympathy of a
large circle of friends who also mourn
their loss.
Twice in less than week this COM
munity has been. shocked by the death
of another of it's much beloved citi-
zens, Mrs. Louisa Courtney, who died
January %, 1922.

TAGGED FEELINGS DRAG
SPIRITS DOWN
Caused by Deeayed Waste in Blood
Pepto-Mangan Needed

When mans feelings get into a
crumbling condition and the fabric of
his strength seems unstable, and he
begins to look sullen and think dark,
discouraged thoughts, it is usually
caused by stale blood, clogged with
waste which acts like poison on the
system.
In stale, weakened blood GUIDES
Pepto-Mangan starts a change. 1t
feeds the blood with iron and other
ingredients that make blood red and
full of vigor. There is immediate evil
dence of the restorative powers of
enriched blood. Perhaps it is more
noticeable in the SNAKE of flavor of
food. After sleep there is a sort of
triumphant feeling of refreshed
health. -
Physicians recommend and prc
scribe Guides Pepto-Mangan. 1t is
recognized blood builder, and it has
genuine medicinal value. Sold in both
