Let Edgefield county turn out en masse, every man and every woman whose name is on the club rolls, and cast their ballots for the BEST MEN from the highest to the lowest of fice. Delightful Family Reunion. Monday was an exceedingly happy day for Mrs. Jane Harling. Greatly . to her surprise her children had ar ranged to celebrate her 76th. birth day with an elaborate dinner at the borne of Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Harling. Some time before noon Mrs. Har ling's children, grand children, Rev. and Mrs. A. T. Allen and a few other friends gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harling to participate in the pleasures of the occasion. Each family represented provided a bas ket of dinner ' and about noon a great feast was spread picnic style ?n a long table under the trees in the yard and all present were invited out to partake of the princely feast. In the centre of a small table was the beautiful birthday cake upon which .were placed 76 lighted tapers, one for each year of Mrs. Harling's long well spent life. She was seated at the head of this table and next to her sat Mr. and Mrs. Allen and other friends. The writer has attended many fes tive occasions in Edgefield county at private homes and on public occa sions but never before have we seen or partaken of such an elaborate menu. Ham, fried chicken,, baked chicken, chicken pie, chicken salad, hash, pork, potato chips, potato sal ad, corn, tomatoes, half dozen kinds of pickle, sandwiches, biscuits, pound cake, layer cake of several kinds, pies of every conceivable kind, sliced pineapple and iced tea. This is only a partial list of elab orate menu. One was impressed, too, . with the bountiful supply and the faultless manner in which the various dishes were prepared and served. It stands at the top of the list. No other birthday occasion in Edgefield coun ty can approach this one. Just as all were ready to leave ' the table Rev. A. T. Allen arose and gave expression to beautiful and fit- [ ting words in which he exalted moth- ' er hood and also spoke beautifully ( of this unique occasion. Mr. Allen ! "was followed by Mr. L. W. Cheatham .and Mr. J. L. Mim?*, both of whom .spoke briefly. On a table under the trees were placed flowers and other tokens for Mrs. Harling from her children and 1 grandchildren. Although she is nearing the four- ! score mile post along the highway of life, IVJErs. Harling is wonderfully J strong and active in both body and mind. As her children, grand child- 1 ren, great grand children and friends i gathered about her Monday and i showered her with affectionate at- I tentions her countenance was ra- i ?liant with happiness and no one en- i joyed this red letter day more than she did. Mrs. Harling's four sous, Os car Harling, W. H. Earling, J. P. .Harling and L. H. Harling and her four daughters, Mrs. W. T. Reel, Mrs. M. H. Deal, Mrs. J. L. Prince and Mrs. T. G.
