John Sparkman of Alabama to see if he could locate Rev. Matthews on the social security rolls. However, the Senator checked this out and discovered that there were many Grady Mat thews in the United States pay ing social security and it would be just about impossible to trace them all down. His daughter then began a search that took up every va cation that she and her husband had for twenty years. She wrote letters, called relatives and friends and checked out leads as to her father’s whereabouts. She finaly received information from Mrs. Fred Plemmons in Greer. Mrs. Plemmons is a Sunday School teacher at the Southside Baptist Church in Greer, and Rev. Matthews had formerly been associated with this church. She directed Mrs. McCrary to a cousin of Rev. Matthews in Athens, Ga., a Mrs. PaulineJones. Mrs. Jones told Mrs. McCrary that her father had been living in Clin ton since 1964. She came to Clinton in June and was re united with him after a forty year search. Mrs. McCrary was able to see Rev. Matthews for only a few minutes on her first trip, and she returned last week for a three day visit. She is his only child. , The Brennan Clan is one of the most renowned in all Irish history.

An anatomy of the term gossip Is one of the best il lustrations of how the deflnl tion of a word can evolve from some characteristic of Its original Intended mean Ing. The word gossip actually denoted "a godparent" of a child In former times when It was a widespread practice to have a close friend of the family act aa the child’s •'sponsor in baptism.” The Anglo-Saxon word was then spelled godsibbe. which lit erally means “god-relative" and which signified the spiri tual affinity of the baptised and their sponsors. It Is so used by Chaucer In his Canteberry Tales. As the years passed, how ever, the word which came to be spelled as gossib, then gossip. was extended In Its meaning to describe not only the godparents but also all the very close friends of a family. To those Intimate friends, family matters of a very per sonal or private nature were often entrusted. Naturally, some of these "friends" could not resist passing along these confidential matters to other acqualntences. These “friends” were still referred to as gossips by those whose trust they had be trayed, but now, Instead of denoting a close friendship, the term was applied deri slvely. Today It Is used as a syno mym for newsmonger, tattle tale, or a groundless rumor Symposium, which today describes a social gathering or banquet or conference in which there is a “Iwwdnter change of ideas? par tlcular subject, was first used In ancient Greece to mean a drinking party.” The word actually translates "a drink Ing together,” which was a little social function that usu ally followed the banquet proper and was character Ized by singing, drinking and conversation. As early as Plato’s time the word carried essentially the same meaning as It does today, however Eating High on (hr hog has an obvious explanation It Is usually appUed to some person or family who has struggled up from poverty to attain prosperity.
