A Happy Occasion.
The Recent Annual Reunion 1
at Oakhurst of the Robertson
Family.
Reported for The Newa.
At Oakhurst oil Friday, Aug. <
24, 1906, there was a reunion of l
the family of the late Samuel U. 1
Robertson and Mrs M. Caroline l
Robertson, his widow who still <
survives, being about 85 years of i
age. (
This was a very happy occasion; 1
such a sweet,easy, christian spirit 1
seemed to animate each member 1
of the assembly. Of the family <
of 1'22 living members there were i
81 present. There were about 16 '
friends also present to enjoy the i
occasion. 1
The morning was spent in hap- j
py social conversation in which s
all took part, and appeared to be ]
enjoying the occasion. 1
The dinner hour having arriv- '
ed, a long temporary table was i
constructed in the shadow of a 1
beautilul shade tree in the front t
yard, which was soon laden t
with an abundance that would '
tempt the appetite. Thanks hav- t
ing been returned to the great
giver of all good, our keen appe- t
tites were soon satisfied. 1
When all were filled, many <
were the fragments that remain- (
ed, of which a bountiful supply 1

and was much appreciated. <
Dinner being over all seemed s
to enjoy themselves in social con t
verse until the time drew near i
to part, when all gathered into t
the house and the CIV Psalm was i
read, and we meditated for a i
short time upon the good provi- (
dence of God that h?d toll owed t
us in the past, and especially this 11
large happy family, after which <
we all bowed in prayer and ]
thanksgiving to the God of our i
lives and hopes. t
May the sweet christian spirit ?
of the mother and grandmother'!
he richly upon each of this larpe'j
lamily. Ultimately may then
whole family meet in heaven. i

Mayor Roddey, of Rock Hill,
on Cotton Future Dealing.
Rock Hill special In News and
Courier: Hon. John T. Roddey,
mayor of Rock Hill, lias during
bis incumbency of about one
pear done quite a lot by his firm
lealing to break up lawlessness
Lti his jurisdiction. He was at
Due time a well-known stock
broker in New York, and the
letters from bis firm were published
in the prominent papers
if this State. In view of this
fact his stand in regaid to cotton
'exchanges" and''bucket shops"
is an interesting one. He has
been asked to speak on this sub
iect at different times, and did ((
so recently at ilie Tirzah campaign
meeting. He wiites a let '
ter in a local paper this week, <
which expresses his antagonism J
in no uncertain terms. It is only i
hat part which bears on his ad
ministration as mayor which I ^
shall quote in part, as follows: ]
'The writer has visited many of
the big gambling houses in Now
York; has played poker, faro,
roulette, horse races and cotton v
futures, and unhesitatingly de- ^
dares that cotton futures, in his J
opinion, is the lowest down o
form oi gambling known, or J1
that he has even seen or indulg5d
in," etc, etc. Further on he r
>ays : "And now I want to say
o the people of Rock Hill that
f the city council will license
his form of Rambling, which, in ^
ny estimation, is the lowest form
n existence, then the city coun;il
must not impose the fine on
lie live-cents crap-shooter and
die ten-cents poker player. 1 ('

"Women Who Wear Well. j~i
It Is astonishing how great a change a I
few years of married life often make In I i
the appearance and disposition of many I
women. The freshness, tlio charm, the I
brilliance vanish like the bloom from a I
peach which is rudely handled. The I
matron Is only a dim shadow, a faint pcho L
jf the charming maiden. There are two I |
reasons for this change, ignorance and 1 ]
neglect. Fow young women appreciate I
Lho shock to the system through the I |
rhango which comes with marriago and I I
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with I i
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak- I I
uesses which too often come with mar- I I
riage and motherhood, not understanding I
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek I 1
>f its freshness and the form of its I
fairness. j I
As surely as the general health suffers I J
when there is derangement of the health I |
>f the delicate womanly organs, so surely I
when these organs aro established in I
health the face and form at once witness I
to the fact in renewed comeliness. Nearly I I
x million women have found health and I I
happiness In the uso of Dr. Pierce's Fa- | I
rorito Prescription. It makes weak worn- I I
3n strong and sick women well. Ingredi- I
