FIVE GENERATIONS REPRESENTED AT FAMILY REUNION Lexington Dispatch-News. The fourth annual family reunion of the direct descendants of "Aunt Sallie" Shealy was held at the old home in the Pine Ridge section of "Dntfli Fork on last Wednesday. It was the largest attended and [ doubtless the most enjoyable of any j of the previous reunions. There were more than 250 relatives present, the! occasion serving as a home-coming to ! many of the relatives. As naturally might be expected where there are *3V VUUUAVU) great-grandchildren and great greatgrandchildren, representing in all five generations, the family has become somewhat separated by distance; and, while it was not so stated, it was no doubt the first time many had been to "Aunt Sallie's" since the provious reunion more than a year ago. Besides the relations, j there were many invited guests | which helped to swell the number up I lv aiuuuu uncc uuuuicu. These reunions were inaugurated j some years ago out of the" love and j respect which the children have for I their distinguished and sainted mother, Mrs. Sallie E. Shealy, who is nearing her 95th birthday. Ever since I was a child I have been taught to reverence <^d age?that "old age is honorable"?but never before have I witnessed a more beautiful devotion to mother than that which was shown "Aunt Sallie" on this memorable oc- j casion. She was the center of at-4 traction throughout the entire day? and rightly so?for she had a smile and a glad handshake for each and! every one. Especially was she interested in the young children?the tiny little babies?as they were presented to her. At times she would shake with emotion, leaving the impression ; that the "heart speaks most when the , lips move not." Mrs. Shealy is a most remarkable woman and she has spent an unusu-! ally remarkable and interesting life. | Before her marriage to Daniel Shealy j on January 7, 1847, she was Miss ! Sallie E. Ballentine, daughter of the ! late Mr. and Mrs. William Ballentine j pioneer farmers of the Dutch Fork, j Her husband was two years her sen- j ior. He died on September 14, 1909. j Daniel Shealy served with valor and distinction for three years during the j War Ijtetween the Sections in Co. I, I 15th regiment, under Capt. Leaphart. I During that trying period, which test- ; ed the manhood and womanhood of j the country, Mrs. Shealy struggled at home with only three children large enough to render assistance, the elder son, James E: Shealy, having been called in the light brigade stationed 1 - ?. r?i?-1?4-? titlur-*, 1 <IKj VXiaiiCObUIl.

In the raid of i Sherman?that fellow who later said' that war is hell?Mrs. Shealy lost all j of her horses, farming implements, j vetc., and all foodstuffs, except what she had buried in the woods far from her home. However, with that will and perserverance which knows no sucli thing as failure, Mrs. Shealy succeeded in caring for her seven children, working on the farm during the day and at the spinning wheel j at night. After the return of her husband j Mrs. Shealy joined him in an effort j to regain their lost fortunes.

They lived to see their children grow up , into splendifl manhood and woman- j hood, their children's children branch ! out into families of their own; and | now Mrs. Shealy lives to see the fifth j generation spring up, to honor and bless her glorious name. Mrs. Sallie Shealy is the mother of, sons and one -daughter. One son, | Noah R. Shealy, died a few years j ago. The living children?all comprising the best citizenship that the county affords?are as follows:. James E., John, Pat W., W. Killian, | and L. Cohen Shealy and Mrs. Amanda Sease. All of the children of Mrs. Shealy have large families. James E.

A bountiful dinner was served on j a long table beneath two large cedar j trees, which was enjoyed to the fullest.

It was late in the afternoon when sad goodbyes were said, each wish- : ing for many returns of the day and j < for Aunt bailie sneaiy many more years of unalloyed peace and happiness. D. R.

Coroner's Jury Clears Killing of James Goodwin. i The State, 19th. i The jury investigating the death of James Goodwin returned a verdict last night to the effect, "that he j < came to his death by being knocked from his cart and being run over by ] ' 1 1 T?_l L T7: I automooiies anven oy rvuoeri. n.mg i and Pink Williams." The jury recom-1 mended that King and Williams be held for murder. Rural Officers George Weston and W. T. Marsh testified before the ;1 jury that Pink Williams, negro j chauffeur, had made an open state- J ment in which he declared that he j and Robert King were traveling over! the Garner's Ferry road and that 1 King overtook him and passed by. 2 King struck a cart as he cut to the i right. King was confronted with < Williams' statement and he admitted t the truth of the confession. < Williams and King were arrested a by the rural officers after Ernest 1 McDaniel, negro employed at the Capital City Garage, had said King s bought gasoline on the night of the i collision to take a car in Shandon. i Williams offered to tell the truth ^ and the officers heard his statement, i After the two rural policemen had ( testified King and Williams S&id they 1 had repeated the statement they ( gave. k 13 Mr. Daniel testified that King, t came to the garage at about 1:00 \ o'clock Saturday morning, August 9 I in a Buick car.

New Bernian, New Berne, N. C. } Among the city's numerous enter- ' prises the poultry yard of Mr. W. R. Riser on George street deserves a notable place. Here, on a lot of a- j bout 90 square feet, this gentleman i has achieved great success in raising '. poultry. He started out at the first year with a small flock of old chick-'! ens. With the aid of incubators and |" brooders, careful feeding and good 1 management his stock has grown to j' near four hundred chickens. All accomplished in a very limited space, as has been stated. Mr. Riser accords his great success, first to the breed he uses, the j Buff Orpington. His experience with 1 ! them has shown them to be excellent I i i layers. Then he has studied their! needs in the way of feed.

Green feed j has been supplied to some degree! through the sowing of oats in the yard. The work of scratching up the sprouted oat grains has offered them ! exercise as well as green feed. * This New Bern poultryman boasts j of certain remarkable feats of his j fowl. He states that he has gotten from his yard near 1,700 eggs since | he started his business. One hen he i prides has quite a record as a layer. | Hatched late in January, this individual began to lay in June. In 30 consecutive days she contributed to 'her owner iust 30 eerers. | Taking inventory of the results of his experiment, /Mr. Riser states j that the four hundred fowls of his :i yard represent his net profits. Sales j | during the time of operation have i paid completely for his time, the feed t' jused, and material, largely used in j | building the number of pens, and the j: : rnst. of st.oolcinf?'. Reducing the value ' jof his holdings to current cash gives 'evidence of a net profit of approxiJmately $300. In the meantime Mr.;' Riser has carried on his regular", work on the outside.

TANLAC IS THE BEST REMEDY I EVER TOOK Mrs. Gibson Has Strongest Endorsement for It. ENJOYS FINE HEALTH Year Previously, She Says, Tanlac Gave Her Lasting Relief. "Tanlac is the best remedy I ever took for my trouble, and I am glad to recommend it because it gave such fine results," said Mrs. Jessie Cisson of No. 15 Main St., Woodside, Greenville, in a statement she gave. "I took Tanlac for a general run down and weakened condition, and at the time I was almost sure I had a mild case of pellagra. 1 was very weak and very nervous. My head ached all the time. I was troubled * ? ?* i j i a lot witn dizziness ana my appetite had about left me. "But I felt like a new person when I quit taking Tanlac. I gained in weight and strength right from the time I began taking it. I soon had a good appetite, and the Tanlac soon had me feeling well and strong. The headaches and nervousness were soon relieved. I am enjoying fine health now and have been ever since I quit taking Tanlac, and that was a year ago." Gilder & Weeks, Newberry, S.
