One of the most delightful social occasions the writer has been priv ileged to attend this summer was a reunion of the descendants of the late Samuel Smith at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Ouzts in the Harmony section on September, 5. There were three children of the late Mr. Smith as follows: Mrs. W. G. Ouzts, Mrs. M. M. Padgett, Tren ton and Mr. E. Charlie Smith of Sa luda. A large table was built in the yard beneath the beautiful oaks, and around this theve were fifty or more who gathered to one of the most tempting and appetizing barbecue dinners ever spread. The menu con sisted of pork, kid, mutton, hash, rice, bread, pickles, iced tea and cof-. fee. In spite of the large number present, (and some of these were noted for their ravenous appetite) there must have been enough food for fifty more. The following families were pres ent: W. G. Ouzts and family; M. M. Padgett and family; E. Charlie Smith and family, of Saluda; H. S. Smith and family, of Saluda; J. M. Riley and family, Saluda; W. F. Waters and family, Trenton and W. R. Johnson and family, Trenton. One who was there. Card of Thanks.
