Manley, who lives on D. L, Barker's place in this sec tion, has in his possession a hen ,that he claims to be 24 years old. According to this the hen was hatched sometime in the year 1888. This hen was pre sented to Mrs. Manley's father, who was W. D. Hopkins, by Pratt Bryant, a prominent citi zen of Seneca. Mr. Bryant ordered this hen at that time for the purpose of raising chick ens to fight other chickens. At that day and time people were interested in meeting at public places and betting on chickens and fighting them. This hen is a full bred game and is very small and seems to be hearty and healthy. Mr. Manley says she never was sick in her life. She still lays and now has a nice gang frying size. Mr. Bryant gave this hen to W. D. Hopkins in the year 1890 to raise chickens on the shares and Mr. Hopkins gave it'to his sec ond oldest daughter, Leila Hop kins, who at that time was only four years of age. She now is the wife of .J. K. Manley and1 was married December 10, 1904. She is now 28 years of age and says she can -well remember when her father gave this hen1 to her, this making it 24 years ago.

Death of Mrs. G. W. Griffin On January 21st, 1913, the spirit of Mrs. Fannie A., wife ] of Mr. George W. Griffin, took i its flight from the sorrows and < sufferings of earth to the joys of Heaven. Mrs. Griffin was a daughter j >f the late Clark Young and t was born near George's Creek ( :hurch in Pickens county, Aug- ( ist 3, 1855. She joined the t :hurch at Cross Roads and was I )aptized by Rev. Thomas Loop- 1, tr about 30 years ago. She was I narried to G. W. Griffin Dee- I ,mber 31, 1874. Mrs. Griffin v eaves an only daughter, Mrs. t '. T. Hughes, of Greenville. t )he was the last member of a s arge family. It was a rather i: ingular co-incidence that four- v >rothers-in-law were present at c he burial; viz., Messrs. Alva t lcWhorter, M. B. Richardson, t ]arle Smith and G. W. Griffin. ii Mrs. Griffin was a good wo- 11 aan and for seyeral years had c een in feeble health. ii After the burial her daughter y vas looking through her Bible n nd found a little note Mrs. rriffin had written on Sunday, i uring the year 1911, while her m usband was at church. In the cl ote she prayed that God would E less her husband who had been d o good to her. It will be a ti ource of great joy to our broth r as long as he lives to remem- ri er her dying prayer. and to a :now that he had been faithful tl o her in sickness as well as in Lealth. In the presence of many sor owing friends and loved ones er funeral was held in the M. . church. being conducted by ter pastor, Rev. E. V, Babb, as isted by her former pastor, Rev. ). W. Hiott, and the Methodist astor, Rev. A. E. Holler. p There her body was laid away o rest in the Westview ceme ary till God shall bid her rise. k 'he dutiful, affectionate wife r nd mother has gone to her re- v 7ard, but her influence will live ] orever.
