There are lots of visitors in and
around Pickens these days. If you
do not see the nanies of yolur guests
in the paper you have no o ne to
blame but yourself. We notice all
whom we can find out about, and it is
simply a false modesty, on your part,
not reporting the names of your guests
to us. We like to report all items of
a local or personal nature and will do
so when brought to our notice
Withhold the news and then cuss the
paper for having nothing in it, as a
lot of you do.
C. E. Robinson has already bad
five applications to rent the store
room he is now building on Main
street. Russmess bouses, as well 1s
dwellings, are in great demand, and
those of our citizens who have prop
erty, and money to improve same,
should get to building. People who
want to come to Pickens should not
be kept away for want of accommlo
dation in the way of places in which
to live and do business. We stand
in our own light when we fail to im
prove our property and build up our
town.

In Memoriam.
Last Saturday, little Tharling, IA
young son of Mr. and Mrs. D.tG.
Moore, of Pickens, died at the home
of his grandmother, in Liberty. His H
death was sudden, and a great shock
to his parents. His remains wgre
brought to Pickens and laid in the
cemetery here Saturday evening at 6
o'clock. Many of the relatives and A
friends of the Borrowing family were
present, and as they looked upon the "
sweet, placid little body in its white
casket and surrounded by beautiful
and fragrait fluwers-yet not more
beautiful of- pur than the little face
within-their hearts swelled in sym- j<
pathy for the bereaved family. But
iet ns not think of him as dead but as
living; not as a flower that has with
ered, but as one that is transplanted,
and touched by a Divine hand, is a
blooming in richer color and sweeter
fragrance than those of earth. c
"There Is no death' The stars go down
To rise upon a fiirer shore:
.\ nd bright in heaven's jeweled crown o
They shine forever more,"
Only the memory of the lovely lit
tile boy is left, yet how sweet, bow
uplifting its influence. For, after all a
deat-h isbut the slipping off of the
outer body. The immortal body of
Tharling is now with God who gave v
him to his fond parents for a while, I
but who wanted him and he is now
nestling in the arms of one who said, 1
"Suffer little children to come unto
me, and forbid them not, for of- such
is the kingdom of heaven."
. "When death strikes down the in. b
nocent and young, fcr every fragi!e b
form from which he lets the panting
spirit free, a hundred virtues rise, in a
shapes of mercy, charity and love, to u
walk the world and bless it. Of ev.
ery tear that sorrowing mortals shed d
on such green graves, some good is
born, some gentler nature comes."

The answer was "Not" and In his

spoke of the harmonious working of
the Georgia union and told of the
magnificent iapproprniatiou, by the
state or Georgia for agricultural dis

Carolina take steps along the same
line. He said:, "You know every'
