It nasi: been my good pleasure to meet with them for the past two years and en- , joy the good dinners and kind friend- ' ship which they always show me. !< I am giad to learn that they had another good day with their father, grandfather and great grandfather, John F.

She had been a widow for 27 years and lived a long and useful life. When a girl she joined the Methodist church and ever afterwards was a consistent member. Her whole life was the embodiment of charity and good deeds. She is survived by two daughters, Miss Jessie Bay and Miss Nora Bay, and one son, John Bay, who is farming near Prosperity. A profusion of flowers and great concourse of friends at her interment witnesed the high esteem in which she was held. Our brass band, one of the .best, will give a concert this afternoon in the park. Some of our laymen may speak. i Dr. C. L. Busbee is spending a few days with his parents at Wagner. He is accompanied by his wife and sweet little daughter, Ella Earl. Some of the doctor's relatives have sold a *"J large tract of land in which he is interested and e ahs gone down to get is "finger in the jie." The Baptist Missionary society met here Friday last. The attendance was large and much interest was i S inanifested. A fine dinner was spread in the park, which unlike their communion, was free to all. Mrs. W. H. Runt and Mrs. John Kinard were conspicuous by their good lucks and activity in the proceedings. It is 25 years since we saw these fine * 1 ladies and we were glad to see that with them "time's effacing fingers mark the lint's where .beauty linm J er more delighted than is Dr. Thorn- \ 2S with his new Dodge car. For two claps he forgot to go to dinner or that he had a splendid wife. We hope his attention to his car will not increase the sale of tombstones. Dr. W. R. Barron of Columbia was the guest last Sunday of our Laymen's Brotherhood. Ke delivered the monthly address and it was a good one. The doctor is president of the Billy Sunday club of Columbia tiiiu vziy aitivc in vvuiiv. We are on the "tip-toe of expectation'' as to the coming of the Newberry boosters. Whitmire will give them a royal welcome and agree to anything they propose as to the welfare of our grand old county. Miss Gertude Smith of Kinards is the guest of her sister, Mrs. J. W. Gary.
