Another link in the golden chain ! wliich binds the present to that I great and glorious past which furnished the finest type of civilization f the world has ever known has been . broken. You may talk vabout your new south and the new world which . wp are to build, but up' to the pres- 4 ent time there is no record in history ' which shows a finer civilization and . a finer type of man and woman than was ^produced and that lived in this fair southland of ours during and * prior to the first half of the .last century.. It has now been 70 years 1 since the beginning of the close of '< that era and not many are there who ] remain who can recall any of the ] events of that period. i Miss Elizabeth Rikard was born in 1R2R and was Dermitted to live long ; enough in this period of tfte world ' to imbibe the spirit of chivalry and J courtesy which was characteristic of this age. - ? . Having known her from my in fancy and remembering her gentle . and kindly manner to me in early * boyhood and during the years since, ^ T felt it a Drivilege to attend her ] funeral and pay this feeble tribute to j her memory. The funeral was held on Saturday at BethleHerm Lutheran church of which she had been a life j time member and tjie Interment beside that of her husband who preced- J ed her td the other shore nearly 49, j years. / 1 Ahnnt a vear asro she had the mis- * fortune to fall and break a bone of j her hip and she had not been able to walk since, but she bore her affliction with gentle patience. Death relieved ( her of her suffering on Friday morn ing about 8 o'clock. " 1 The funeral was at 11 o'clock and j the large congregation which assemblM was strong testimony of the high . esteem in which she was held in the , community. The service was con- , ducted by Pastor Hite and he read . the following sketch which I print in t xun.. "In memory of Mrs. Ann Elizabeth "? Boinest who was 'born September 27, * 1838, and departed this life July 9, j 1920. I Age 81 years, ten months and 12 days. She was a life long, mem- 1 ber of Bethlehem congregation. J "June 25, 1857, she was united in . holy wedlock to the Rev. Thaddeus S. Boinest of Charleston, S. C. For \ over 20 years Rev. Boinest was pas- * tor of Bethlehem and other congregations in Newberry and Lexington 1 counties. Many of this community reverently remember him, who ,de??j Sp-nt.ember 4. 1871, * pai bCU tilU 1UV in his 44th year of age. * "To this union there were born . three sons and three daughters. Those surviving are Hon W. B.' Boinest of this community, Mrs. ? Kate Counts of Prosperity, Mrs. ; Sarah Brown of Spencer, N. C. There , are 14 grandchildren and two great } grandchildren, together with numer-1 * ous relatives and friends. j j "Mother Boinest has lived a con- j. 1 A-"- ?in-nnKfn< /vf V)pf* J tmuousiy active uremuvi church, ever manifesting a fervid (, faith in Christ. She was a true. friend and neighbor, a loving and! , devoted mother. She lived and died j in the faith once delivered to the! J saints and the richest heritage that j, is left her children is the memory J of a great Christian life." What greater heritage could' any one desire than the consecrated life and influence of a good Christian 1 mother? "N ( - ? ? T> 1 Pastor Hite was assisted oy ?.ev. r S. P. Koon who read the Scriptures,' and Rev. C. J. Shealy who offered . prayer. Pastor Hite preached a ser- ] mon from the words, <4To live is ] Christ, to die is gain." He said the ' text was exemplified in the life of I \ Mother Boinest. Rev. J. J. Long who I j had been pastor of the Bethlehem; church for several years, also spoke 1 feelingly of the life of Mrs. Boinest. ^ ? "* /r The oldest son of ttev. ana lvirs.

"*r? m u-i- - iur. x. in. jmus, tne excellent superintendent of the Sunday school", jave me a personal invitation to be present and to bring the boys and ;heir mother, but on account of the nclement weather it was decided that [ would not take any one* but myself, md my old friend L. Ireaneus Epting rindiy offered to drive me down, so t was a pleasure to enjoy the day vith these good people. I had been ;o these annual occasions on many ;imes before, but really I believe ;hat it can be said truthfully that - ? ? ?? A M *?? M a4> ^ ft IV* /\ vs r? /nis one was, ix nut tut; uoat, amung ;he best children's day that Zion has iver had. The program was carried out as printed in the last'-issue of The.Herild and News and all the children did mighty well and the program was .veil arranged, none of the parts beng too long. But as I remarked tc ny friends Brooks Warner and John Mills who W3re sitting near me in l"> if foamn/1 flidt +vlo OTItIc ZIC CiiUltll It CUUV VilV ,verc largely in the majority certainy on the program and they did wel>. ^nd the singing was fine. I like the way they sing, they go at-it just as f they were going to do the job with in enthusiasm and earnestness that makes you feel good. The duet, with the chorus accompanying, by Mrs. Will Mills and Mr. J. Pierce Bterman was especially good. The program by the children was joncluded before the noon recess and :here was an .hour and a half and iinner was spread and every one had a good feast. These people live at lome and grow what they need to eat md they always have plenty and the iinner on Sunday was fine and bountiful. In the afternoon Pastor Griffin rereived from .the Sunday school seven poungr persons into the church and in address was delivered by Mr. E. F. Green and a ^very 'pleasant and profitable day was closed at Ziog. There has been no improvement on Via irwn /vf f-lm i-nor? -f r>rvm Notb. ^"u'wv" ^ ~ :>erry to Prosperity and the same loles remain to greet you as you nravel over it. From Prosperity to Hook's mill the road has been worked tnd is in very good shape arid if the jang, would drag it now after thia ain it would be good. It has been scraped and the ditches cleaned out md the road looks good, but of course with this kind of work and ;he rain coming and the travel continuing it will get in ruts and be Ireadfully .rough unless the drag is ipplied, but if this should be done lion if will roT?oin iti fino nrvnrlftirvn mtil the winter rains come again. ?o? The crops seem to me to be in ex:ellent condition and there is some is fine corn down this side as you vould care to see, and with the rains ;hat have come a great deal of it will nake if there should be no more am. And the cotton looks healthy, >ut it is the broad fields of good corn ;hat are pleasing to the eye, because ;hat means broad and meat for yon :an turn corn into bread and tfcen rou can make good porkers and turcevs and r.hinfcMis ?r>d lota nf things f you have good corn. In fact thia s a community that has always folowed the practice of growing the rood staffs needed for the farm and for the family on .the farm and the jeople haye always lived well and >wed no man. The farms' as a rul$ ire small and there is no land foi >ale. There have been'.good seasons of :ain in the last few days and on Sunlay afternoon there was a good rain vhile the service was in progress. Another thing that I have observed n going over the county is that in jvery section tnere nave Deen many icres planted to peas and they are up md looking well. Every farmer should now plant a good crop of fall [rish potatoes'and plenty'of sweet potatoes. They make fine food. E. H. A.

I MAGNIFICENT PLACE FOR SERVING A BARBECUE Or for that matter for any other gathering is the home of Mr. John 'Baker. The magnificent old country place of antebellum days of Dr. Kennerly made ihodern by Mr. John ! Baker with all modern conveniences i is a most delightful place in which ; to serve and the fine broad oaks that stand in the yard ajid protect you | from the rays of the sun make it an ' ideal place for the serving of a bar. becue during these hot July days. And then Henry Counts and Jack Counts and John Baker make a fine ! combination and the dinner they served on last Friday was all that one could expect. And then there is an: other thing we have noticed at these 1 i Newberry barbecues this year is that ' I the ladies do the serving very large! ly, and they just naturally know how ' ( better than the men. Mr. ?aker has made this fine old ; home into a real modern one adapted to these times'in which we live. He l. has added long and broad piazzas. I but the most^ important thing is the 1 i fine system of lighting and water and sewerage that he has added, and now ** J ' - ?- ? J Ulrt o 1 . It IS one 01 me must UCJaauic anc 1 best arranged homes in the county, 'iAnd that is what we love to see the 1, people who live in the rural districts [, do. All that "is needed now 'is tc nlace the home just a little nearer tc ? ? ; town by improving the roads. Twelve ?miles is not far in these days if you have a road and the good farmers ! and excellent citizens who live ou1 5 this side are really entitled to have 1 something more done to the roads sc that one could travel over them jus1 with a little more ease and in less r time. This fine place is on one of :; our roads to Whitmire town and on* ' that should be built at once so as tc 5 make the belt about which we have [. written several times and which must [ comeWery soon. li : ' ii 1 Thornton-Dickert. - The home of Mr. and* Mrs. J. R. ! Thornton was the scene of a beauti' | ful wedding on Thursday, July 8, 'when their daughter Geneva, became ithe bride of Elbert Dickert. Prompt* i' lv at thrae o'clock, quite a few rela i " ? ..t:? - '. tives -and friends gathered to wit i ness the beautiful ring ceremony, which was impressively performed bj | the Rev. R. F. Cogburn, pastor of t' O'Neall Street Methodist church. I The entire down staiH% of the !, home was thrown open and had been tastily decorated in Shasta daisies 1 and ferns. Just before the cere, mony Miss Annie Green delightfully ; rendered a collection of love songs. 'As the note of Mendelsshon's wedj ding march were sounded, the "oung ; couple came up the hall &nd tooli : their stand before an improvised alI tar of daisies and ferns, in the par! lor, and pledged their vows. Dur, ing the ceremony Miss Green softly 1 j played "Answer." The bride never looked handsomer than in her traveling suit of blue with accessories to match." Her corsage bouquet was of sweet peas. * ? i > fJ aT | immediately arcer me cerciuvriy j the / couple slipped away by automdI bile and took a train, for a wedding trip of two weeks in the mountains I of North Carolina. ' The bride is the only daughter of I Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Thornton and is ; one otf Newberry's most accomplished and attractive young women. Since her graduation from Newberry - i 'ii 'college she has been connected wiin 11 the public schools of Columbia and ,' of this city. .j The bridegroom is the oldest son ! Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Dickert and is 11 a young man of sterling qualities. !; Having graduated from Newberry i j college, he answered the call to the colors and served the duration of '.'the late war as a lieutenant in the j coast artillery. Since his discharge [he has held a responsible position :'jwith the Mollohon Manufacturing j company. A.- A* if It is a source oi great joy 10 me | many friends of this young couple to ! know they will make their home in i i Newberry. Many cordial wishes ati i tend them for a long and happy life. '' ! PENITENTIARY SENTENCE [ WITHOUT ALTERNATIVE FINE j ' Harvey Case, a young white man, f tried in his absence last Wednesday j for violation prohibition law by run! ning a still near Pomaria, was deliv! ered to the sheriff Saturday by his i bondsman, Mr. Boland. Case's still was found by Deputies McCarley and 1 Taylor in April of this year. Case was arrested the next day by Sheriff ; Blease. A sealed sentence awaiting ' Case was read by Clerk Goggans and was for a period of 12 months on i the public works of the county. Un: der .the law any one sentenced to the chain gang can be placed in the penir tentiary by the supervisor. This was ! done by Supervisor Satople because t V/s n+Vipr White nrisoners and it would incur too much expense to s work one prisoner, as the law re quires that whites and blacks.shall be : separated. This should be a warning to other persons who think they can come to t Newberry county and manufacture . liquor. They might get away with it for a while; but sooner or later they [ will be caught, and they never car jtell what the sentence will be. PURELY PERSONAL.
