I had told them I did not wish
the hcnored position. I want to
resign, quit, get out, any old way
so as not to serve for it is hard
work and I am opposed to hard
work, or work of any kind, but
we are in it and if we can do
anything, in any way, that will
advance the interests of the far
mers and at the same time make
a good county fair, we should be
willing to do all we could, and
even more.
I am writing, particularly and
mainly to the Farm and Field
Products committee to state that
I have not called you together
because I think we are all in the
grass-I know I am: are you?
I would be glad for the com
mittee to all meet at the court
house on July 5th and organize
so as to get busy as soon as pos
sible. Right now is the time to
begin preparing for a good fair.

a bushel, for the fair.

Get something to show from as
many as possible. Get your

Johnson- Roper
An event, brilliant and beau
tiful in every detail, was the'
wedding at the Methodist church
Wednesday evening of Miss
uargart Ellis Johnson and Dr.~
Lawrence Roper, of Pickens, S.
C.
The church decorations were
in white and pink and this idea
was artistically carried out.
The chancel rail was trans
formed into a hedge of lovely
green, studded with many lights
and on each side was a grace
ful arch of green filled with
numbers of lights. Suspended
just over the bridal couple was
a magnificent wedding bell of
white and pink roses.
The maid-of-honor, Miss
Mamie McRee, preceded the
bride, who entered with her
brother, Mr. Albert S. Johnson,
and was met at the alter by the
groom with his best man, Mr.
Lee A. Roper.
The ceremony was impressively
performed by Rev. J. F. Davis,
the bride's pastor.
Dr. and Mrs. Roper left at
nine, Wednesday evening, for
Pickens, S. C., where they will
make their future home.
The bride as Miss Maggie
Johnson, was universally loved.
With her bright, winning dis
position she was charming and
attractive in every way.
Dr. Roper is a graduate of the
Southern Dental College and is
establishing an excellent prac
tice in Pickens. He has num
bers of friends here, where he
formerly practiced.
The many handsome bridal
presents received attested the
popularity of these two young
people.-The Oconee Enterprise,
Watkinsville, Ga., June 11.
Resolutions
At the regular meeting of the
Pickens Chapter U. D. C. last
Friday the following resolutions
were adopted
First, that our sincere thanks
be extended to the citizens of
Pickens for help in paying for
the service of the Piedmont
band on June 3d at the veterans
re-unIon.
Second, for help received from
some of the citizens toward fur
nishing the dinner on that oc
casion.
Third, that we thank Miss
Hazel Netherton of Georgia for
adding to the pleasure of the
day by reciting that appropriate
poem, "The little brown cross."
And further that our thanks
are due and hereby extended to*
the friends at Easley for con
tributing through the solicita
tions of Miss Warren $18.50 and
those of Central through Mrs.
J. W. Morgan and Mr. R. G.
Gaines $10.65 to help in furnish
ing the Pickens county room in
the old soldiers home at Colum
Mrs. C. E. Robinson,
Committee.
Hazel News
Mr. Editor: I will give you
a few dots from our burg.
Health of our community is
very g ood at this writing.
This section was visited on
the 30th ult., by a heavy rain,
hail and wind storm. The rain
washed the land considerably
and the hail (lid much damage
to the crops, and gardens.
Some say they saw hail stones
as large as dollars. The timber
was beaten up severely. Some
say the water streams were the
highest they have been in five
years. A narrow wind and rain
storm passed over this section on
the 9th of last October that was
the worst we ever knew. We
do not know where it commen
ced nor where it ende'd, but it
passed just above Hazel, crossed
over Big Pink Mountain and
right on over the Nine Times
road almost uprooting every tree
large and small, in its course.
Its width was about 100 yards
and we don't know how long it
lasted.
We have always heard it said
that April 1st was "all Fools
day" but I think all the people
got fooled April the 6th. in going
to the show at Pickens, but we
do not believe the sbowmen were
to blame at all, somebody else is
liable to get fooled.
That jolly good fellow, Mr. M.
KP (Tup) Hester spent one night
last week at Mr. Ddniel Win
chester's.
Mr. Daniel Winchester sold to
the Pickens Cotton Mill seven
teen bales of cotton on the 28th
lt., for tenl Cnts a pounid. He
vs cotton will go up now just
as'wn as the people finds out
he hasod his.
Married at Mr. J. N. Gilstrap's
brother of the groom, Mr. Jahue
S. (Mage) Gilstrap to Miss Dora
D. Powell. The groom is the
youngest son of Mr. John. A.
Gilstrap and a promising young
man, and the bride is the eldest
daughter of Rev. James. N. Pow
ell and is very lovely young lady.
The happy young couple have
the best wishes of their many
friends. The ceremony was per
formed by A. T. Winchester N.
P. Mr. A. T. W. says that any
one wanting the life-time knot
tied, can find him ready and
waiting to do the tieing. Mar
ried at Henry Morton's father of
the bride, Mr. Davis Chappel to
Miss Carrie Morton, Rev. W. 0.
Halcombe officiating.
The little infant of Mrs. G. W.
Nelson has been very sick, and
has been under the care of Dr.
J. A Cannon, but is better at
this writing.
A couple of little children of
Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Winchester
have been right sick for the past
few days.
The three days protracted
rain has held farming up.
Rev. W. J. Sheriff filled his
regular appointment at Antioch
Baptist church last second Sun
day, preaching a very impressive
and instructive sermon to a very
large and attentive congrega
tion. After sermon the Lord's
Supper was administered.
Rev. B. F. Murphree filled his
regular appointment at Holly
Springs Baptist church last 3rd
Sunday in spite of the rainy,
gloomy, weather. There was a
good crowd out to hear him, and
as every one knows that has
ever heard Rev. B. F. the con
gregation was treated to a grand
sermon.
Mr. M. D. Cantrell received a
severe blow on the side of the
abdomen some time ago, from
the "kick" of plow handle, and
has been suffering a great deal
from it but is better now.
J. R. Meece, a saw mill man
had the misfortune to lose his
house and all of its contents by
fire, except two chairs, about a
month ago. It is supposed to
have caught from the stove.
He says his loss is about $500.
The second quarterly confer
ence of the North Pickens circuit
was to have been held at New
Friendship Methodist church last
Saturday and Sunday, but on
account of so much rain it was
a very small attendence. We
learned later that the Presiding
Elder was sick too.
'Will close for this time by say
ing hurrah for the Pickens Coun
ty Fair this fall.

Death of Mrs. Roswell Hill
Mrs. Roswell Hill died at her
home in Pickens county May 28,
at the age of 66, with cancer of
the stomach.
She was confined to her bed
for three weeks, she bore her
suffering patiently. She was a
member of the Methodist church
for forty years. She was a true
christian, a devoted wife and a
loving step-mother.
She lived with her husband
five years when he preceded her
to the grave twenty years ago,
then she moved back to her old
home with her sisters, Misses
Frankie and Rachel, and brother
Thomas Powers, near the Oco
nee line.
All who knew this dear one
loved her because she possessed
such a kind and-loving disposi
Her face was as sunshine in
my home, I lived with her and
I can say I never met one so con
genial. I know of whom I
speak.
We extend our heart felt sym
pathy to the bereaved family.
Her remains were laid to rest in
the family burying ground the
following day.
Mother thou was't mild and
lovely, gentle as the sum
mer breeze,
Pleasant as the air of the even
ing as it floats among the
trees.
Thou no more will join our
number
Thou no more our songs shall
know,
Yet again we hope to meet
thee
Where sad partings shall be no
more,
Then in heaven we hope to
greet thee
Where our songs forever shall
be. Mrs. H.
