"Aunt Betty" 1 Dearden, of Oak way, Has an Interfering History. One of the oldest citizens in Obo nee countv ls Mrs. Elizabeth (Aunt Betty) Bt arden, of Oak way. She was born hear Old Pendleton, Ander son county, on the 28th day of Juno, .1808, and will, therefore, be one hundred years old on the 28th day of next June. Mrs, Bearden's maiden name was Elizabeth McQuffln, daughter of Jas. McOuffln and Annis Jolly, and a sis ter o? tbs lato Rev. A. W. McQuffln of this county. With her parents she removed to Oconee when eight years of age, and has resided In the Oak way neighborhood for more %han sev enty-five years. In her young days ehe was married to William (Buckie) Bearden, with whom she lived tb the time of his death, some twenty years ago, and reared a !argo family of childi en, who rise up to call her blessed, and from whom has descend ed quite a multitude in numbers and Influence in tdiis county. She now re . sides with her son, James W. Bear den, in the same neighborhood where she has resided BO long, and over which she has exorcised suoh an in fluence for good. We can remember Aunt Betty from our childhood and the has been an old lady since our first acquaintance with her. Evory one knew Aunt Betty and Uuncle Buck. We recall one Incident connected with their his tory. More than fifty years ago Wm. Bearden purchased a tract of land ot one thousand acreta, whereon Oak way now stands, for a rifle, gun. Doubtless the original deed can be produced. This same tract ot land is now owned by J. J. Haley, Andrew Bearden and W. A. Bowen, and could not be purchased for less than thirty five to forty dollars per acre. In fact, just a few days since, Mr. Bowen purchased that part which he owns at the sum of eighty-three dollars per acre, for more than one hundred and thirty acres. Mrs. Bearden well re members that all this part of Oconee county, up to a few years ago, was W dubbed as '-Nubbin' Ridge,." and was considered as worthless. Part of the land now owned by W. A. Bowen has in the last few years produced as much as . three bales ol cotton per acre. Mrs. Bearden has lived to see her large family of sons and daughter all become prosperous, progressive and Influential citizens, with lamce tamiles, filling almost all tho profes sional positions and callings, re spected by all, and to see her neigh borhood, once considered waste lands, the most valuable part of Oco nee county. She loves to talk of th?s. She ls still iu ?netty fair health for one of nor age and talks well, and one of her greatest delights ls to see and talk with those who have grown up under her eye. May she yet live to see more of the growth of her fam Hy and country. , Quinsy, Sprains and Swellings Cured. "In November, 1901, I caught cnH and had tho quinsy. My throat w.?u swollen so I could hardly breathe. I applied Chamberlain's Pain Balm, and lt gave relief in a short time. In two days I wai all right." says Mrs. L. Cousins, Otterburn, Mich. Chamberlain's Pain Balm is a lini ment and ls especially valuable for sprain* and swellings. For sale by J. W. Bell, Walhalla; W. J.
