Attractive Appearance of East

Mr. Requarth is making good
headway with the paving of the sidewalks
on Chesterfield avenue. The
work was commenced at the town
limits, and the East End property
owners are showing a commendable
spirit of co-operation with the city
council in paving one-half of the
cost of paving the sidewalks abutting
their property. Mr. J. P. Allison,
who lives beyond the town
limits, has had a sidewalk on the
pavement opposite his residence
laid in cement, footing the whole1
bill himself. He has in addition,
had a broad walk laid in cement
from the pavement to his front'
steps. Messrs. Harry Hines, John i
T. Green, R. B. Allison, Waddy R.
Thomson, W. C. Thomson and Mrs.
Alice Gregory in addition to paving,
are having their front wjlks cemented.
We urge upon all the property
owners In town to unite with the
council In paving all of the sidewalks
of the town, as it can be done

MR. J. P. C. CASKEY DEAD.
Highly Respected Citizen of the
County Passes Away.
The many friends of Mr. J. P. C. I
Caskey all over the county will be
I grieved to hear of his death, which
occurred at his home six miles west '
j of Lancaster, Friday morning at 1
o'clock. No man in the county was
held in higher esteem by both white
i and colored people. He was an upright,
honest Christian gentleman. >
His entire life,, excepting about I
twelve months, when he resided here i
in town, was spent on the farm, i
Having lost his father in his early I
I boyhood, he devoted his whole life
, <o caring for his widowed mother. |
sisters and motherless nephews and \
nieces. Rv thrift, industry and good t
business management, he accumu- ; ,
lated a good estate. Everybody liki
ed "Mr. Jimmie Caskey,'' as he was '
familiarly known. He had no trouble
in getting hands to work his |
lands. He was kind and considerate j,
in his treatment of the colored peo- t
pie who worked under him, always <
giving them their due and receiving f
from them good honest work in re- ,
turn. He was quiet and unassuming ,
in his manners, but was a man in
whom everybody put entire confi-,
dence. Lancaster county had no,
more true, nor loyal son than James j
P. C. Caskey.
Several years ago his health be- <
gan to fall and he was taken to a hospital
and one of his legs am- 1
putated. But this did not render
him helpless. He procured an arti- i
flrinl 11 mil sinrl vvuu ennufontlv in ?
fields on horseback directing and f
supervising his farming operations,
i until about a couple of years ago, I
when he had a stroke of paralysis. |
Since then his health has been pre- i
i carious. | <
James P. C. Caskey was horn 1
about four miles northeast of Lanj
caster, August 15. 1847. He was '
j the son of the late William Caskey |
and his wife, Agnes Porter. Mr. (
Caskey was never married. He j
leaves surviving him ills sister.
Misses Jane Caskey, half sister, t
Mrs. P. H. Craig and two nephews, '
Messrs. Joseph and Lee Craig, chil- .
i dren of a predeceased sister. In
early manhood. Mr. Caskey connected
himself with Presbyterian '
church and for a long time was a
ruling elder in the Lancasterville I "
Presbyterian church, but a few years
ago he removed his membership to
the old Waxhaw church, of which he *s
was a ruling elder at the time of his ^
death. L
His remains were Interred in i ?
Waxhaw grave yard Friday after- t
noon at 2 o'clock, his pastor, [lev. r
W. W. Ratchford, and Rev. Hugh R u
Murehiaon officiating, assisted by j
Rev. W. 8. Patterson. The pallbearers
were: Messrs. W. J Cun- ^
