THE NEWBERRY OF
DAYS THAT ARE PAST.
LETTER FROM A k11MER NEWBEIRIAN,
NOW IN TEXAS.
Memories of Great Mcii and Good len and
Graceful and Lovely Women of
The Old Newberlry.
Going north from Stewart's, we
reach the happy home of' Drayton
Nance, one of iat.1rc's nloblelmenl
and his amiable wife, Iticy ( Wil
liams) a decsceidiaot of oie of the
grand hieroes of King's Mountain,
Col. james N illiais. She was a
lovely example of the "radiant
dream that lurks ii the word wo
nma." Tlhink of Dravton Nance
as lie lived and you vill be a btr
man. He was genial, natural,
cordial and intellectual, disclo-ing
the goodness and greatness of his
heart; in his family he was always
gentle, generous, good humored and
affectionate; in society a pure exam
ple of the complete Christian gen
tleman, yes, lie was a great hearted
man, with a soul as white and pure
as a" lily. He often had a laugh
on me, telling when I was a little
chap, at dinner at his house, he
asked if I would have anything
more and I replied, yes, poiiiting
mi1y finger, I'll have soie more
"tollardls. " ie never said a weak
or worthWess thing. I re:nember
wvith pleasure their foir daughters,
