Doath of Mrs. Fields. Our town and community was again shocked and grieved on Sunday afternoon by the rather sudden death of Mrs. Minnie Fields, the beloved wife of Mr, George H. Fields. Mrs. Fields had only been ill about a week with fever, and while she was known to be a very sick woman, her family and friends did not apprehend any immediate danger. Mrs. Fields was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Roberts, and was about 42 years old. She was a most estimable woman, a devoted Christian, loving wife and fond mother. She was the mother of ten children, eight of whom are living. Besides her husband ani children, she is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs, Henry Roberts, three brothers, Messrs. Will, Harry and Rhude Roberts, and three sisters, Mrs. H. M. Wingard, Mrs. Samuel Wingard and Mrs. Aughtrey Smith. She was buried on Monday afternoon at 5 o'clock at Providence church in the presence of a large congregaand sorrowing relatives and friends, the last sad rites being performed by her pastor, the Rev. B. W. Cronk. To the bereaved parents, husband, brothers and sisters, and the motherless children we extend our deepest sympathy. _ Picnic Tomorrow.

Harman, a 11 ? 4- on i?An >?a a! /I ttrna I I gaildiii) y UUIJ^ mau, **\j j ^ai o was married to Miss Lucye Ann Roberts, a beautiful young girl, two years younger. On Thursday last at their lovely country home, five miles north of Lexington, on the banks of old Sa- /: luda river, they celebrated their golden wedding, together with tlieir children and their children's children, and a number of friends. I / Present on this occasion?and fit- i tingly so?were those who waited on the young couple, all of them with | silver hair. They were Henry Rob- g erts, M. D. Harman, Priscilla Rob- | erts, now Mrs. Edward Cook, and I Miss Lizzie Harman. The minister j who officiated at their marriage, the | Rev. Adam Efird, has long since I passed away, but his memory still lives in the hearts of these people, as ^ . was evidenced by the many kind ref-ences made to him on Thursday. ; Soon after their marriage the war clune on, and T. S. Harman, like the J brave young man that he was, left his young wife of two years, and enlisted in the Twentieth South Carolina regi ment, serving with valor to the end of Q i the strife. At the close of the war he : returned to his young wife, who had . bravely cared for the little home, and engaged in the pursuit of farming, k which occupation he still follows. Mr. and Mrs. Harman have reared a large and interesting family of chil- a dren, fonr boys and four girls, all of them prominent in the community. They areMessrs. Olin of Richmond, Va., Angus, Edgar and Perry Harman; i Mrs. E. L. Wingard, wife of Lexing- _ ton's popular county treasurer; Mrs. | Sidney Corley, and Mrs. Frank L. Corley. One daughter died several years ago, leaving seven living children. They have 27 grandchildren living and four dead, and one greatgrandchild. ^ At 1 o'clock an elegant barbecue dinuer, prepared by that excellent cui3t and prince of good fellows Frank L. Corley, was served on a long table beneath the shade of three stately oaks in the yard. To attempt m to mention the different tempting vi- | auds served would take too much space. Suffice it to say that it was a dinner fit for the gods. All during -the day ice lemonade wa9 served and just before the guests took their departure delicious ice cream and cake. Mr. and Mrs. Harman were the recipients of many gifts W There are no DeoDle in the commu- r)l nity held in higher esteem than Mr. W and Mrs. T. S. Harman, and it is the W sincere wi9h of all that they may live Ml to celebrate many more anniversa- i/| ries. h) Those who were fortunate enough?
