Death ci Mr. James M. Ycung blood. One by one the land marks, thc golden links that connect the long ago with the present, are passing saway. The death cf James Mayson -Youngblood at his home in Augusta Monday, April 12 ,rtw*yes from the active scenes cf life one who, though claimed by Augusta, rightly belongs to Edgefield. It was here he spent his early life and it was his ancestry who had a pari in making the history of this county. Mr. Youngblood not only bore an honored name but he bore it honorably. He was a cultured gentleman of thc cid school, possess ing heart culture and well as intel lectual and social culture. God spar ed him to his loved ones and to his generation nearly four score years, lacking only four months of reach ing the 80th mile-post. Mr. Youngblood made a gallant record as a Confedeate soldier, be ing a participant in the earliest bat tles and fought through the entire struggle, having lost an arm in bat tle. Since thc war he has been loyal to the principles of the Confederacy and has always been actively identi fied with the veterans' organizations. About 28 years ago Mr. Young blood located in Augusta and for the past 20 years was charged with the keeping of the Center Street bridge cross thc Savannah, where he ser ved with increasing faithfulness. Mr. Youngblood was a devout member of the First Baptist church of Augusta and although modest and unobtrusive, a characteristic of those who bore the name, his influence was felt for' good far and wide. He pos sessed a marked degree of talent as a vocalist and he was frequently in vited to sing in the churches and in the evangelistic services. It was his . custom for a number of yeavs to visit the prison, singing and otherwise .ministering to the inmates. Mr. Youngblood is survived by his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Anne Young blood, five children, Mrs. B. L. Eas terling, Barnwell; Mrs. J. M. Kill ingsworth, Dunbarton; Miss Mamie Youngblood, Augusta; Mrs. C. H. Bruce, Macon, and J. R. Y'oungblood, Augusta, and two sisters, Mrs. Nan nie Griffin and Miss Tillie Young blood, of Edgefield and one brother, Mr. Frank Youngblood of Ellenton. The funeral services were con ducted Tuesday afternoon from the Baptist church in Augusta, Rev. M. E. Grace officiated, being assisted by Dr. Joseph P.. Sevier of the Presby terian church. Dr. Sevier was a de voted friend of Mr. Youngblood and whenever he held revival services in his church, the Presbyterian church, he always invited him to participate in the singing, which serves to show ?hat this venerable and saintly man was beloved by all classes and all creeds.

CANTELOU, County President. Death of Mrs. John McGee. With feelings of intense sadness and regret we announce the death of a woman of whom we were deeply attached from her cradle to her grave. We allude to Mrs. John Mc Gee, of Cleora, S. C., who died on April 1, 1920. She was confined to her bed about five weeks and through each clay and the long watches cf the night she received thc kindly and ?f fe ctior.atc ministrations of loved ones. Few women, if any, had more friends in the county than Mr?. Mc Gee She was truly one of the "mothers cf Israel." She was a woman of most lovable traits cf character and endeared herself to all with whom she came in contact by her kind ways and cheerful disposition. She"will be greatly missed by her friends as well as relatives. We must bear in mind that an all-wise Provi dence has taken her from our midst, and try to bear our sorrows as best v.-e can, trusting that we will ono day meet her :n the great beyond. Mother's flowers of ferns and snowdrops were placed about her in the casket, so symbolic of the beau tiful lifo, the fragrance of which will last on, just :.;s the fragrance of thc Howers linger. We tender thc bereaved family our heartfelt sympathy in their hour of sore trial an^ deep grief. She is survived by her husband, one sister, and seven step-children. Farewell darling, till God bids us leave this world of woe, and enter in that happy land, there to wear a crown with Thee. "We loved her, yes, we loved her, But Jesus loved her more, And He has sweetly called her To yonder shining shore. The golden gates were open, A gentle voice said "Come." And with farewells unspoken She calmly entered home." C. E. G. Cleora, S. C. Fire Sale.
