FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 1919 TWICE A WEEK, $U0 A YEAB ? * , i i .pi.ii>> BODY OF ROOSEVELT L AT REST NEAR HOME Last Rites for Former President Paid in Simple Services at Church and Grave. Oyster Bay., N. Y., Jan.^9.?Theodore Roosevelt lies at rest tonight beneath. a cemetery knoll near the rambling rural highway along which he traveled so many times in boyhood and in manhood between the Sagamore Hill house which was his home and the quiet village of Oyster Bay. Perhaps no other ex-president of the United States has been paid the tribute of so simple a funeral as the one which was given Colonel Roosevelt this afternoon on the shore of Long Island Sound. Military and naval honors were not his in death, only because it had been his wish, and r that of his family, that the last rites be surrounded only with the simple dignity that might attend tne passing oC-a private citizen. But the American nation, and foreign governments as well, sent representatives .as did aiso the State and L the city in which he was born. These noted men sat sorrowfully in the pews of the little red gabled Christ Episcopal church, while brief services of prayer and scripture readings were held without an eulogy in which so much might have been said. There was no sing or organ playing. It was the noon hour when, at the Sagamore Hill homestead, all of Colonel Roosevelt's family except two of the sons, Lieut. Col. Theodore RooseTelt, Jr., and Lieut. Kermit Roosevelt, who are soldiers in Europe, assembled for a few moments of private prayer at the side of the casket in which lay the body. Draped over the casket were battle flags under which the colonel fought' as a Rough Rider on Cuban .soil more than 20 years ago. The Rev. Oeorge E. Talmadge, D. D., rector of Christ Church, said the comiorung words which were the final ones spoken for the colonel in the presence of Mrs. Roosevelt, for she did not accompany the cortege to the church or to the grave in Young's Memorial cemetery. At the Sagamore Hill services only members of t&e immediate Roosevelt family were present. ; MISS ANNA KEITT DEAD. ! Daughter of Late Congressman Passes Away in New York. St Matthews.

WINGATE. i j It gave us a sort of touch of kinship : | to shake hands with Corporal A. K. | Wingate of Co. L, 118th Infantry, who ; was in Newberry on Wednesday, be| ing on a visit to his sister, Mrs. Tom I E. Chandler, of the Beth Eden commu! nity. 1 Corporal Win crate is just two weeks | back from over seas, where he has I been since May of last year. He bears ! the marks of service that was real and I j also wears a service stripe on his arms. He was a member of our boy's j | company and says that he saw him i about the first of September when ; First Sergeant Humbert M. Aull left ' Cn V tn <vr? {r\ a +minirir?- cfhnnl Tt I vu< ** ?,~ v~ " v*** ? I v as a real pleasure to us to rtalk with ! Corporal Wingate, and the pleasure j -was enhanced by his kind words about I our boy and how fond the members ; of Co. K were of him. So much for ! the touch of kinship. j Corppral Wingate was wounded i twice and on the 8th of October at | the charge of the GOth Division on the' ; little town of Brancourt received two ; machine gun bullets through the nose ! coming out just below the left tem- > I * I pie and taking off part of the upper j cheek bone. That disabled him for i i i ! further service. He returned on Wed- j | nesday to Fort Oglethorpe, where he . is in the hospital recuperating. He ; says the surgeons are going to take a j piece of bon out of his Ig and build j up his left cheek bone so that it will | be same height of the other. Fortu' nately he did not lose his sight and ( we miht say it was a very narrow escape with his life. The other wound was in the fleshy part of the leg and did not discommode him, though he has the piece of the 800 pound shell that exploded and from which he rei ceived his flesh wound. J Corporal Wingate is from Lee coun ty and was with the same company K I when the boys left for over seas. He ' says he has had some wonderful ex! perionces and we are sorry that we. did not have more time and the oppor| tunity to get him to tell us something I of them. He is looking well and heari ty though his face is somewhat disI figured. But he was cheerful and j bright and in the best of spirit. , i ? I County Teachers to Meet Saturday.

The Haitiwanger store has bei ? nAntva ?-?f of vie anH fashion for V/V/UUU Cb V/ Vli _ the ladies of this community and now it will be even more so. It is also recognized as a reliable and dependable store and the customers felt that the' prices were made at a reasonable profit and not for the purpose of coining down in order to make a sale and think you had bought at a reduction jwhen in fact you were paying a big price at the reduction offered, in omer words, it is a square dealing and honest store. Mr. E. A. Carpenter, who came to Newberry about seven months ago as the "manager for Mr. Haltiwanger, Is an experienced dry goods man, and by his courteous and gentlemanly bearing and strict business dealings has made many friends in Newberry who I will be glad to know that he is to beIcome a part owner in the business. 'And this means that he is to be one .of us and a permanent part of the j community. He is a native of North 'Carolina, but came to Newberry from ' ?v:? Kn Via H j Tapp's in c-uiumuia, wuLCi.o uxi mw. j been for several years. His purpose ! will be to keep a line of goods that J the ladies of Newberry will know jwhen they buy are of the latest models and reliable material. j The first thing the new company is j going to do is to clear out all the odds | and ends of the old firm by practically giving them away, and in the same connection is going to clear out the reliable and seasonable goods while the season is still on and the goods can be used this season, at greatly re duced prices. The big sale starts on Saturday and it is going to be a rare opportunity to get good goods at greatly reduced prices and at a time when you may use them this season. wmmmmmmmmmmmmammtammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm i 4 If miA r * 5 IT^T I T r y 50c war "tax | iV e e k s j j
