Wyatt died at the --'P"Iome of his daughter-in-law, Mrs. James M. Carpenter, on Sunday morning, 19th-inst., in the 81st year of his life. His wife had preceeded him to the grave about 15 years. He leaves two sons, Mr. James R. Wyatt of Easley, and Mr. John Wyatt of Brushy Creek. Mr. Wyatt was a member and deacon of Mt. Pisgah Baptist church and had been for many years. He was a good man and a useful citizen, ever ready to lend a helping hand to those in need. He had been an industrious and economical man and had man aged to leave his children and grand-children some good prop erty, but best of all he left them the legacy of an honored name. and a good name is rather to be chc .n than great riches. Monday afternoon, 20th inst., his funeral services were held by his pastor, Rev. D.W. Hiott, at Mt. Pisgah church in the presence of a large congrega tion. The old soldiers acted as pall bearers. His body rests by the side of his wife in the church yard to await the morn ingof the resurrection. Mr.John N. Wyatt, of Easley, is his only living brother. Mrs. Mary An drea, of Greenville county; Mrs. John R. Henderson, and Mrs. Joe Hendricks, of Anderson county, are the only living sis ters. The relatives have the sympathy of the entire commu nity.

Lupo has moved to his new home at Salem par sonage. Everybody is glad to have him for their pastor for .another year. 0. P. Field has moved to his new home which he purchased * from his son. F, B.

T. Gravley and son, Luth er, were business visitors in Pickens Saturday. We noticed in different papers accounts of the earthquake shock. The people through this section surely were asleep. I never heard anyone say any thing about it, or it didn't reach this far one. H. A. Townes spent Saturday night and Sunday at the home of John W. Thomas. This warm cloudy weather is a gr.eat benefit to the small rain crop that has been sown throughout the country. In The Sentinel correspon dence we have anything up to Farmer's Wife and Farmer's Bov. Now we would like to hear from the Farmer's Daugh ber or any other member of the Eamily that would like to say anything to the credit or honor )f our community or paper. It has been rumored in this :ommunitv that the Southern Eailway Co. has b->ught out the Pickens Railway Co. Hope it is ;rue and they will carry it ;hrough here and connect it at Rosman, N.

Dover is look ng well and says everything is noving along fine on the creek. J. W. Winchester visited riends and relatives on little Eastatoe last Sunday. If this rainy weather holds ut much longer the roads hrough this section will get in bad shape. There is just one nud hole-that is from one end >f the road to the other. Hampton school is progress ng nicely with Miss Ida Baker is teacher. Six Mile. The Six Mile atmosphere is good to live in, judging from he way people are locating bere. H. F. Wright and family, romn the Mountain Groye see tion, moved here last week. We welcome them into our midst. We understand others are going to follow his good example. Our school is progressing very satifactory. Prof. S. A. Rut ledge is one of the most devoted christians as well as an able teacher and he, with the three christian ladies, go to make a very ab)le and efficient faculty of which we are proud. Anyone placing a boy or girl under their instruction and care would have no cause to regret it. Rev. J. Dean Crane, of Greer, cane over and held a meetIng recently in the interest of the school. Brother Crane is a very able man. Don't fight the devil at the back but stand face to face without fear. It is to be hoped it will do good. It is our Opinion that there is too much show religion. If we under stand what religion is it is a principal void of offense toward God and man. W. W. Aiken. of Sun Set, passedl through ourisection and spent the night with R?. P. Princ recently.
