wtfal
Mrs. Victoria Garneit.
. Last Tuesday, just before this paper
jwventto press, the subject of this
"" writing, in the presence of loved ones,
crossed over the dark river and was at
rest with the God she had faithfully
served for many yoars. She was a
daughter of Edmund T. and Nancy
WiHis, and was born and reared in the
Zion community, and from early in
life was a lady highly respected for
her many Christian virtues. We can
not recall the name of a lady who was
more widely known tyan Mrs. Victo
Garnett. A woman of strong- charac
ter, her advice was sought by the
young people, profit resulting, as her
admonitions at all times contained
good and wholesome teachings.
When quite a young woman she was
married to Wm. H. Garnett, who was
a brother of the late Judge James
Garnett, and who was a prominent
citizen of this county. To them a
family of three children were born, J.
E. Garnett, who is in the West, -W.
A. Garnett, and Mrs. Ella Scott, the'
two latter being at the bedside when
the end came.
We have already spoken of the good
ness of this excellent lady, but to
show her tenderness even to a person
who was not the remotest akin, we
have only to relate her interest shown
in Will Judd, who lived in her home
for nine years, and who was cared for
as one of the family: and her passing
lost the best friend the young man
ever had. His every wish was grat
ified, the deceased longing to see him
grow and become a useful man in the
affairs of the world.
Mrs. Garnett was born September
17, 1S11, making her a little over sixty-eight
years old when death came.
When quite a young woman she made
a profession of her iaith in Christ,
united with the Baptist Church, liv
ing a devoted member Until the final
dissolution.
The funeral services were .held
Wednesday forenoon, conducted by
Rev. O. P. Bush, at the residence o f
Mr. W. A. Garnett, the deceased old
home, in the presence of a large circle
of relatives and friends. AXJbhe con
clusion all that was mortal of this
good woman was laid to' rest in the
family burying ground.
Besides the children mentioned
above, the -deceased is survived by
two brothers, H. P. itnd Anthony
Willis, and two sisters, Miss Harriet
Willis and Mrs. Caroline Jeffries, sev
eral grand children and number of
nieces and nephews.
The survivors have been left a
priceless heritage a good name; and
to again see and know the departed,
godly lives must be lived.
An Arm Broken.
Mr. Charles Stewart and wife, of
San Francisco, Cal., who visited their
aunt, Miss Sallie Stewart, this place,
last summer, are now at their Cal
ifornia home. On leaving here they
went to Washington, D. C, where
they spent a week or two with Mr.
Stewart's brother, Mr. Wm. Stewart,
and family, and thence to Europe.
They returned to the States a few
weeks ago, and while enroute to San
Francisco, they were in a railroad
wreck, near Dayton, Ohio, Mr. Stew
art getting one of his arms broken.
It was set by a local physician, but he
did not do his work as it should have
been, and when Mr. Stewart reached
Califoonia it had to be reset.' A let
ter to Miss Sallie Stewart, received
several days ago, states that he is do
ing nicely.

Commencement Exercises, Graded!
School.
The closing exercises of the Graded
and High School began on Sunday
night, May 18, with the baccalaureate
sermon by .the Rev. J. N. Crawford at
the Presbyterian ctiurch. The speak
er's remarks were confined with par
ticular reference to the graduating
class, but were inspiring to the entire
audience as well. His thoughts were
practical to every school boy and girl
present and he had their attention at
all times Tuesday afternoon the an
nual Class Day exercises were held on
the school grounds in the open air.
The program consisted principally of
the Class Prophecy by Miss Avis Tup
man: Class History Miss Leonora
Lowe; Knocks Miss Nell Tarter; and
Class Will Miss Mary Williams. The
musical part of tha program was also
rendered by the four young lady grad
uates. Among the numbers was "Die
Loreli," a quartette sung in German.
On the whole it was a most interest
ing program.
Tuesday evening was given over to
a reception to the High School pupils
in honor of the graduates.
Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock a
unique little play entitled "Bibi" was
given by the pupils of the primary and
intermediate grades. It was a story
of Gluepot's Toy Shop and in spite of
its nature held the attention of the
grown-ups throughout. Although it
was only given to the patrons of the
school, standing room was,at a prem
ium and many were not permitted to
see the play.
Wednesday afternoon was given
over to the Track Meet and Field
Day at the Fair Grounds. In spite of
the threatening weather a large crowd
was out and witnessed some very in
terestingicontests. Rex nolladay
won first place with four points, Ed
gar Diddle was a close second with
three and one-fourth points. Else
where in this issue will be found a
list df all the winners.
Although in the midst of a down
pour of rain a large audience was pres
ent at the Presbyterian Church
Thursday evening at the annual grad
uating exercises. The theses and
graduates were "Feudalism," Miss
AvisTupman; "The Art of Music,"
Miss Mary Williams; "The Hellene of
the Past, Miss Nell Tarter; '-'To the
Stars through Difficulties," Mist Le
onora Lowe.
Contrary to usual feminine abilities
on the platform each young lady read
her thesis as to be distinctly heard
by every one and hardly a member of
the audience could tell it was raining
in no small quantity.
The reaching of the papers was in
terspersed by a splendid vocal solo by
Mrs. Sam Burdette "In the Garden of
My Heart" and an excellent reading
by Miss Loretta Dunbar, "The Hazing
of the Valiant."
Following the theses the class ad
dress was delivered by Judge H. C.
Baker. He held the undivided atten
tion of the audience during the entire
time. A SDlendid picture of ideal J
womanhood was held before the young
lady graduates and discussed from a
practical standpoint.
In a short, inspiring and interesting
talk Mr. Turner presented the diplo
mas to the class of four young ladies.

A Kind Hearted Tramp.
Umbrella menders, tramps and beg
bars are generally conssdered by peo
ple as belonging to one class and are
as a rule shunned by the people gen
erally. Many of them lead the life
they do from desire and others from
force of circumstances. That all are
not altogether bad was shown a few
days ago when an umbrella mender,
who also sold coat-hangers, entered
the Grinstead poultry house to show
his hangers. Pitying the man's con
dition, Mr. J. M. Millen gave him a
dime for which the man seemed very
grateful. As he left the poultry house
he met a blind-man and after gazing
athim a moment, he drew from his
pocket a quarter in small change and
put it in his hand, saying, "Here
