TRULY A MOTHER IN ISRAEL IS GONE MKS. “BETSY" WHITESIDES WAS A GOOD WOMAN. — •“Uncle Sill" Has Good Reason Not 1 to Like Picnics—Pensonal Para graphs from Lower ci 1 * r ol <ce ' Wilkinsville. May 6.—Mrs. “Betsy” Whitesides, who died at Blacksburg last Monday, was the mother of Messrs. C. W. Whisonant, of Wll- 1 blnsville, and Wm. A. and John Whisonant and Mrs. Mattie Goforth, of Blacksburg. She would have been eighty-seven years old the 12th of next August. She was a member of | one of the oldest and most highly res pected families of Western York—a daughte r of the late John White of King’s Creek, and a sister of Dr. Alexander White, who was assas sinated at his home near Wilkinsville on the night of August 24th. 1865. We have known Mrs. Whitesides from our boyhood days. She married Mr. Robert Whitesides. Sr., (com monly known as “Uncle Bobbin”) af ter the death of her first husband, Mr. Henry Whisonant, which took place fifty-four years ago at his home on Broad river just above Smith’s ford, on the York side. She was a lady of ejeat. mental and business attainments—superintending her farm and raising her family and helping the poor women about he*- In time of the war by giving them work when they wanted it. and were in need of such help. She was a good manager in business affairs and her counsel was always sought by those wanting good advice. She was a tower of strength in her home and the community in which she lived. Truly a mother in Israel is gone. She has met That sad and that divine event To which the whole creation moves. Peace to her ashes. We seldom detect the ambiguity in our “xpression of thought until after it appears in print and it’s too late then to correct it and so we let it go. We had a nice shower of rain last Wednesday night which did much to revive vegetation and bring cotton up. (We mean the plant and not the price). The wind blew cold all day Wednesday but the weather turned warm that night. Mr. J. L. Walker has a fine field of cats headed out. Housewives are having fairly "good luck” with their chickens and if noth ing happens they will be ready for the big dinners this summer. “Uncle Sill doesn’t like picnics very much. He went to one once when his children were small, and tool? a trunk full of provision and he had to buy a watermelon to feeR the little fellows on till they got back home. If a cyclone had struck the table that day it wouldn’t have de molished its contents any sooner than that crowd did when dinner was an nounced. It was enough to put any- 'body out with picnics, of that kind at least, and we don’t blame him for his disgust. Messrs. J. N. and Sam .1. Strain with Master Archie and Sim Glenn, colored, went to Gaffney Wednesday on business. They called and in spected the new motive power install ed in The Ledger office. Archie saw the elephant and some of the other show animals. When a married man speaks of such an such young ladies being smart and good looking he is not apt to get his wife to agree with him. She will some times try to make him believe he is no judge of beauty even at the risk of making him think she is neither smart or good looking her self. Such is life, and such is na ture, it seems. The communion meeting at Salem will begin next Friday night at 8 o’clock and close with the celebration of the Lord’s Supper on Sabbath. There will be preaching Friday night, Saturday and Saturday night. It is not yet known whether Rev. Mr. Ratchford will have any ministerial help during the meeting. Mr. C. W. WBiisonant returned -.Tuesday jjight from Blacksburg where he attended the funeral of his mother, Mrs. “Betsy” Whitesides. Miss Bonnie McCluney has been quite unwell this week but It is hoped she will be able to attend the picnic at her school house tomorrow —Saturday. Mrs. “J. L. S.” has set out her sweet potato plants. She has also been feeding us on strawberry pies until we are about getting tired of them—something we thought we never could do. But it’s said that a wise man changes his opinion some time while the other fellow never does—the fact is he has none/to change. If The Ledger’s poetaster continues to crowd the paper with the product of his pen he will receive the editor’s hlessslng. Old Dr. John Douglass, one of the “Rocky creek Irish,” used to say that “a poet was half fool and half devil.” Sometimes he possesses more than equal parts of each. We expect the poets and stump speakers to crowd the country this year. If they lack anything they can perhaps get it from us newspaper correspondents. We have had an unusual amount of dry, cool winds this season which has had a tendency to hold back the growth of vegetation—especially cot ton. There will be a memorial service and decoration of the Confederate soldiers’ graves at Unity church near Hickory Grove, on Friday, 21st inst, at 1:30 o’clock, p. m. Several of our neighbors went to Gaffney last Monday on business. Those interested in the graveyard at Salem are expected to meet there this morning to clean it off for the decoration services tomorrow eve ning. . Rev. T. F.
