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

Shealy act her part. 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. Her

Unitl the death of her husband in'
1909 they had toiled and labored to- j

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.
Shealy, the oldest one, has nine living
children and two dead; forty-one
grandchildren living and five dead;
five great grand-children living and
three dead.
John C. Shealy, the second son,
has thirteen children, all of whom are

NEGRO CHAUFFEURS
HELD FOR MURDER:
. . i.
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 ]

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. He saw King when s
he pulled it upward. McDaniel said a
he spoke to King saying, "you done
hit something." King did not reply
and left the scene.

EXPERIMENT POULTRY
PROVES A BIG SUCCESS 1
]
Mr. W. R. Riser Nets $300 in Short
Period of Seven Months.
v!
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. Confined
| as they have been, without the advantage
of green stuffs, these chickVioirn

and special grain 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."
