Pickens County Fair Association, A meeting of the Executive Officers of the Pickens County Fair Association, and of all citizens interested in the project of a Fair in Pickens in the year 1909, is hereby called for 4 o'clock P. M., Tuesday, May 25th, 1909, at the Court House. A full attendance is desired. The general public is urged to Death of Mrs. Annie S. Childs. Mrs. Annie S. Childs, widow of the late Thomas J. Childs, of this county, died on Tuesday morning about four o'clock, at the home of her son, Thomas G. Childs, in the mill village in Pickens. She was only serious ly ill for about one week, altho' the weakness incident to old age had afflicted her for some time. Mrs. Childs was born in Green ville county, S. C., on Oct. 13th 1828 and therefore would have reached the good age of 81 years on her next birthday. Before her marriage she was Annie S. Poole. Her father, Seth Poole, emmigrated from Virginia to South Carolina when a young man in the early years of the nineteenth century. She was married to Thomas J. Childs on Dec. 3, 1848, and some years later removed with her husband and family to Pick ens county. Of this union there were born sixteen children, thir teen of whom reached manhood and womanhood's estate: three having died in childhood. One daughter, Mrs. Fannie Ladd, died a few years ago in North Carolina. Those surviving are as follows. Mrs. M. Angie Pace, Mrs. Sarah A. Porter, Mr. Benj. H. Childs, of Toccoa, Ga., Mr. Spartan S. Childs, Mrs. Alice Simmons, Mrs. J. E. Hayes, Mrs. Susie Howard, Mrs. Mary P. Spurlin. of Asheville, N. C., Thomas G., John F., Jesse C. Childs and Mrs. Cary Roper. Besides her children she left a posterity of which there is few equals in the history of our coun try. Her liying grandchildren number one hundred and six teen, and her great grandchild ren ninety eight making a total of two hundred and twenty-six direct descendants. Also she left two sisters in N. C. and one brother and two sisters in Green ville county. To this wonderful posterity Mother childs left the heritage of a most beautiful humble christian life. For more than half a century she was a most humble follower os Christ, and member of the Baptist church. She always had-a word of kind ness for the downhearted, and never let pass an opportunity of extending a helping hand to those in trouble. Having been reared the early part of the nine teenth century she did not have the educational advantages that are enjoyed by the people of to day, and therefore was limited in that way, but she possessed a strong mind and with her bible as a text book she gleaned from its eternal pages an education that fitted her not only for the things of temporal life but for that life over in the eternal city. Her life was a beautiful exam ple of faithfulness to God, duty to loved ones, and unselfish devo tion to her friends. Her life was a benediction to all whose good fortune it was to know her. On last Tuesday morning she reached the end of the pathway on life's journey which leads down the western slope of life's hillside to the eternal sunset. But what a glorious dawning on the other side when she awakes in the sunshine of God's eternal love. There she will be reward ed for all the patisnce, and love with which she endured the trials and disappointments in cident to this life. Some time before death came she called her children to her bedside and as sured them of her surety of an eternal home with Christ, her Redeemer, and exhorted them toJ follow in His footsteps. To many sorrowing children, and friends we extend heartfelt sympathy, but rejoice that it was our privilege to count such a Godly woman as our friend. May her christian example so influence all with whom she came in contact that all may be constrained to follow in her foot steps. The remains of this good wo man were laid to rest at 4 p. mi., on Tuesday evening at Griffin church, a large concourse of sorroig relatives and friends witnessing the obsequies. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. B. Holder. Smashes All 3ecords. As an all-round laxative tonic and healthbuilder no other pills can comn. pare with Dr King's New Life Pills.
