PICKENS WELCOMES YOU JUNE 3rd: ICKENS--THE GEM 1 OF THE.FOOTHILLS Eim # A NEWSPAPER WII A CONSCI ENCE VOLUME 52-NUMBER 6 PICTENS, S. C. TIISDAY JUNEA 1922 Reunion Items Many faces among our beloved vet erans will be missed this year. Let's make the day all the brighter for those who are still with us. The ladies of Pickens county are requested to meet in the court house, Saturday afternoon, June 3, at 3 o' clcek, when a matter of interest will be presented to them. They wll be detained only a few minutes, so let every one be prevent. The Pickens Chapter U. D. C. takes this opportunity of expreessing to its many friends its appreciation of their ec-operation in the past, and of asking for a continuation of their interest and kindness. The chapter will be most appreciative for any con tributive to the picnic dinner on June 3, and extends a most cordial invita tion to its friends to join them. June 3rd has became the outstand mg day in the year for the citi:ens of Pickens, when they in mass, do honor to the Confederate Soldiers. Pickens county sent a noble band of men to battles for "State's Rights," and the younger generation is inleed fortunate in having so many of these veterans in their midst whose worthy cxn;le it is wcll to emulate. Our honcred friend, Col. W. B. Allgood, whcs health has been im paired for two years, thinks that he will be able to Come to town ne::t Saturday and mingle with his com7 rade3 of other (lays. We hope to sec him on that (lay. Only a few more years aie left to the veterans of the 00's, so let eveiy body come June :, who can and honor tie grandest ai my that ever shoul dcrecl a gun. An attractive feature of the days eiiturtainment on June 3 will be an exhibiiorn drill by a picked squad of the Headquartcrs Company 118th Inf. National Guards of Easley. The Pickens U. D. C. requests that all the people of the surrounding com. munity who love the old soldiers, help to make the 3rd of June the best and greatest day Piekens has ever had, anld if they can not each one bring a full basket, let them contribute a chicken, a cake, some pies or anything else they choose toward the dinner. Some of the ladies of the town are very anxious that we have a "clean up" day. This is a wise 'dea and may mcan much toward the making of good health for our place, so let us all get together and by June 3rd, have it all shinning, spick and span. The U. D. C. requests everybody who will contribute any relic for keeping, to bring same to the court house on June 3rd. A committee will be there to receive it andl place of it, sign your name and lend or give any article that your people usedl in the war of the 60's wvrite the history of it, sin your name and lend or giv e it to the U. D. C. It will be proe servedl with care.

Vallty hans kindly consented' to examine all applicants. IN MEMORY OF JUDGE J. B. NEWBERY ..As June 3rd draws near our minds are naturally turned to the thoughts of the soldiers of the 00's. Among these honored heroes, Judge Newbery, who died a little more than a year ago, fills a prominent place in our memory. We have learn. ed from his good wife, who still lives among us, that he was born in Dar lington county on June 21st, 1837, and he moved to Andeson county in 1860 and married Miss 'l'irzah Bur line. On July 1st, 18(11, he enlisted in Co "K", 6th Soueth Carolina regi ment where he s( rved until the 11th of Mlarch I(2. T'l's rerimetreach ed Maunassas on July 21st about the time of the famous battle of 13u11 Run. He joined the Virginia Bat talion as a private and after the death of one of the Lieutenants, he was promoted to fill his place. This remetion came for exceptioaa! gal lant services and he served in this cenpacity until the close of the war. His part in the war was that of city gumd at the Confederate capital at Richmond. About a year aftcr he e'listcd he was taken sick with a terrible abscess in lis head which caused him to have to go to a los pital. Ilis wife heard of this and was determined to :o to him. On arriving in Rielchmond she went to the hoe :ita! and asklc for him, but he had been trans fered to Danville, Va., unbeknown to hospital authori ties, so he was reported as dead to histwifc. With sorro.ving heart Mrs. Newbery returned to her home in this state where she remained mourning for her husband for mor e than a month. One day on picking up a Richmond paper he saw in it an advertisement for a trunk signed by his wife. He knew at once thrt she had been in that city, and made strenuous efforts to find her. She Vefnt at once to Danville and together they went back to Richmond, he to his duties and she as a nurse in the government hospital. A.fter the war they setled in An derson ecunty where he lived till 1872 wh . i he mi:ed to Pickens and estab!'shed the first circular saw mill operated in this county. In 1887 he was elected to the office of Proba.e Judge which he held until his death. He always took a cep interest in the welfore of the old soldiers and their widows, and his memory will ever be cherished by those whom he loved and served so faithfully. DEATII OF IRS. E IE MAUL DIN. On the night of May 13, the angel of death came to Lando Mauldins and claimed his darling wife. She was about 45 years of age. She had been in bad health for about 2 years, yet she bore her suffering with pat ience. She leaves her husband and five children to mourn their loss: Gladys, Marie, T. S., J. B., and little Ruby. But may they realize that their sorrow is 11er great joy. Before her death she told her 'loved ones that she was "going to Heaven" and oh! wvhat a great con solation that is. She wvas before her marriage Miss Bettie McClellan and her aged moth er andl thrce brother's and one sister survive her. She wvas a member of Camp Creek Baptist church. She was buid on Monday at Camp Creek. Funeral service wvas conducted by Rev. P.urits amlid, a large cr'owdl of sorrowing relativcs and friends. T'he many beautiful flowers showe'd the high esteem in which she'was held. Bett'e was alwvays so kind to the sick; she was lovely and lively. Her loved ones have the sympathy of the entire community', but may they look to .Jesus who alone- can help them, awl each one be readly to meet heri in the Great reunion in Heaven some "sweet (lay after' while." "Hier pain is gone she is at rest, Hecr trials are forever past, She now is in the city blest And rapture thrills her soul at last. At Heaven's gate her loving smile, Her1 tender' voice and outstreched hands, Will greet us in a little while, And1( welcome us to that dear' land." - A fr'iendl. MANY TH'IANKS.

The Fordson substitutes tractor wheels for the legs of man and horse. The Fordson takes the burden off flesh and blood and puts it on steel. It allows the farmer's energy to be devoted to management, and not merely to operation. It gives him time. It cuts his producing costs. There's a big story of savings maide possible by the Fordson.
