Adla Cralig Alexender has a DEATH OF MIts. J. B.' NEWBERTY. On the last day of October, 1922, as "the golden sunshine glistened among the 'bright colored foliage which enveloped the earth, betoken ing the death of the year, the sweet spirit of Mrs. Tirzah Burdine New bev y took its flight to the beautiful mansions above. She had passed her 82nd birthday and was ripe and tCady when the Great Harvester came. Her body was afways frail, but her bright, cheerful disposition was almost a wonder to all Who knew her. A year ago last February, her husband was taken, but no mur mur ever escaped her lips. Hers was the most beautiful of lives, so full of patience, mercy and kindness. She was the eigth child of Rev. Jno. and Charlotte Burdine and was born four miles north of Piekens. In 1860 she married J. 13. Newbery. Went to Richmond in 1862 and nursed in a Confederate hospital during the re mainder of the war. She had only thirty neices and nephews. 'fhe old home will miss her, the good friends will miss her, the rela tives will miss her, but, most of all N:hc will be missed by her only daughc ter. Miss Stella. It is' to her ou hearts go out in the deepest sympa thy, and we can only say "Thy will be done." IMISS DAVIS' DEATHT SADDENS LIBER'l'Y. Liberty, Oct. 27.-On Tuesday morning, October 24, as the sun ray wee rising above the eastern hills, the spirit of Anna Mae Davis peace fully glided into the Great Beyond. She was some si:tecen years of a'e. t' beloved and only daughter of Mr. E. E. Davis. Anna Mae had ben a su'.ffer(r for' many weeks but she was ch( erful and her.' up bravely to the last. leaving a1 life that was a ipronotunccdl blessimt upon those of her home and communi ty. She is survived by'her father an I mother, E. E. and Annie Holder Davis and an older brother, Arthur Davis, of Liberty. The day' following her death the funeral services were held at the First Baptist church, conducted by her pastor, Rev. C. F\ Sims, imiter ment being at Westview cemetery. The high school, of whici Miss Davis was a member attended in a body. The following lovely girls, arrayed in white. acted as honorary raIlhearers: Mlisses Addie L. Davis, Carrie Lee ro-rter, Janie, Addie, Kate and Leander IHolder. These carried the flowers which were quite beauti ful. The active pall bearers were: Messrs. DeWitt and D. H. Davis, Er nest Port(r, J. D. Geelola and Albert Iolder all being first cousins of the dleceased. "IHeaven hath our treasure now, Earth the lonely casket keeps, And the sunshine loves to linger, Where our darling sleeps.' SECONA CHIURCH The pastor hopes that all members will come promptly. on time next Sunday. We wvill have wvith us Mr. .J. L. Walker, the very popular presi dlent of the Baptist Young Peoples Union of the Central church in Greenville. He promises to bring with him two car loads of his mem bers. They w'll come to tell our young pcopkd about the good such a union wvould (d0 in our churach. As pastor of the church I want to say that wve should p~rizAe very highly sitheir coming. It will be some sacri fice on their part to come twventy miles and return that afternoon.I am sure that wve have some as bright and promiis-ing young people in Se cona church as can be found in any community, and we want them to have the best thinks thats going. The young people all over our State are taking front rank in all the good work of our dlenominatioyn. Our piarents should be dleeply interested in this movement, for it offers to our boys and givrla an opportunity of development that is- found no where else in our churches. Let everybods. come. There will be no admissior fee at all. B. P. Mitchell. THE SENTINEL'S SPECIAL SUB SCRIPTION OFFFER.

II LIERTY C FAIRMERS TO S1) 1). CHIARDD~S. Liberty.--In th.s legion, but a few miles distant from the Blue Ridge mountains, considerable interest has recently been shown in peach and apple orchards. From present re ports several large orchards will be planted this fall according to J. C. lHuntm'o, secretary of the Lberty Chamber of Commerce. One of the largest orchards to be set out is that of 500 peach trees by J. F. Bannister, president of the Lib erty hank. This place is locate') slightly more than a mile from01 town, on the main highway from Liberty to Easley. The hgh ground is consid ered to le 'well adapted 5. a site for an orchard aund it is expocted Mr'. Bannister wvill make a success5 of his orcoharid. Mo'any farmeris from this sectiou have muadle recent trips to the peach belt about Cornelia, Georgia, with a viewv of witnessing first -handl the methieds that are being used in that section of the country. The inifor, muation that has been obtuained1 on these trips has caiused many addi.. tional farmers to investigate the' possibilities in the orchardl business. The Liberty Chamber of Cormmere which has sought to assist the farm.. ers in every practicable way, is co operating wvith T. A. Ilowen, county dIemlonstration agent, in dlispiensing all possible information in regard to the planting of orchards. Next Monday is expected to, be the biggest salesday in Pickens in several years.
