Come again the fair June bride, With her father by her side; Gracefully she moves along, Eyed by all the eager throng, Half-concealed in richest gauzeHear the whispered "Oh's!'' and <Ah's!"

Conscious of their envy who Turn to gaze from bench and pew, She proceeds with splendid grace Onward to the sacred place, While her father, stout and gray, Wishes he were far away. See the bridesmaids, young and fair Never was a scene so rare! And her mother?ah, how proud, What a splendid, stylish crowd! Hear the organ's ii9ing toneShe is coming to her own. Glorious the fair June bride, With her father at her side, With her bridesmaids ranged about And her mother, proud and stout; ? And the groom^-but who; wpl care? This is all the bride's affair. I t OBITUARIES. I * % * ft 0 ? O $ # # * fc <t * * $ <r <r * ?? #*$ $* # * Always To Be Remembered. Joseph Earl Shealy, of Little Mountain, S. C., was born Sept. 13tb, 1SS5, and departed this life April I6th, 1913, making life on earth 27years, 7 months and 3 days. He was a noble young man having traits of character excelled by i :w. A good many years ago he joined the Lutheran church and attended regular or when his health would permit him. Being somewhat a homely boy and in early manhood suffered a serious affliction that befell him he was unable to do any work, also prevented from the pleasures of going about and being in society. In this solitude condition lie was not widely known but in this way hede\oted himself to his Lord and ' Master. He was a young man of a loving disposition, a good brother, and an obedient and faithfull son. He oisiiKea trie ruae ana evil ways oi life and in latebdays would shun people that would adopt them, iu this way he was especially known, by his immediate associates. A young man of but few words but plain and open with what he had to say or do. He was very fond of a friend and a friend to everybody that wished his friendship. Honesty seemed to be his chief aim in life and he endeavored to live such with his fellow man, leading a christian life. His most crayed desire in his life was his health which he was so unfortunate as to loose never to regain. Fate had crossed his path and life was a dark and dreary road for liim without the promise of a future. He was afflicted six or seven years \ ago receiving a severe hurt and having a case of typhoid fever from which he never fully recoverd but continually grew worse.^With all the possible help there seemed to be no relief, none of any avail, and continued to linger in this^hopeless state not seeing a well day for these many years. In this despaired condition lie would at times have hopes of brighter days, but with this contiu-" ual suffering which undoubtedly affectO/l Uto wv> i *3 t? * 1~- * ? ?- ? ? il- " ? - ? uiomiuu, lit: ufgau to miiiK mat wis only relief was death. This being the case he sought his own life, and it appears that his mind was not clear when he committed the rash a ct. There is one surety that God will take care of us. Hi9 last words written by him were as follows: "In my own mind as you will see my physical condition has ruu me cr8zy. My life is a burden to me. I hate to leave you good people, but I must go. Please dont worry about i me but rejoice in my departure. Hope- * ing that we will meet again, Farewell," Earl. ! We know not what our path may be, As yet by us untrod,. But we trust our ail to thee, ii Our Father and our God. jg A face that we never more can see, ^ A voice that we loved is still, s< A place vacant in our home, will be, tl One that never can be filled. n Will say in conclusion, to all of you good people that went in search of his body, that I thank you ever 90 much and will assure vou that I will 0 endeavor to show you my apprecia- a tions. . Brother. 11 o t Cable. Oscar Cromwell, a son of Thomas H. and Eliza Gable, was born December 4th, 1893 and died June 17th, 1913, ^ age 19 years, 5 months and 17 days. ^ About five years ago he joined the Methodist church at this place and was up to bis wealth in good standing.
