Thursday morning when a mes sage -reached here announcing the death of Furman Morris Furman Morris dead! We coul not realize it... Furman, goo old' Furman, who two week ago appeared t6be the healthies person in Pickens, and whos 'ovial smile and cheery wordE bghtened the pathway of al who came in contact with him It was hard to believe it. He died in the Greenville city hospital Thursday morning ai 5:30 o'clock, eight days after hc had been operated upon for ap pendicitis. On Saturday, Aug ijst 22 he was was forced to leavE his post. at Folger, Thornley d Company's store on account of sickness, and Sunday night he was taken to the Greenville hos 'pital' where -an operation waq performed that night. Tuesday peritonitis developed and Wed esday a* second operation was performed. All th at. skillful And attentive doctors anditurses could do for him was done, but the mighty hand of death could not be staved.' His father and mother were constantly at his bedside. and time and again ,he gave. them assurances that eveything was alright with his soul and that he was atpeace with his 'God. He was n6t afraid to go. Furman was probably the besi known an4d most popular man f his age in Pickens county. Strong in b6dy and charate r, jovialin disposition, sociable and sympathetiir, he was -loved bv aWho knew him, and many ew h1n..He was born-OcI 190, beig neary Y., yearsofigeat his death,'aud was'hathii-d child of Mr. ind Mrs.' A. M Morris, of Pickens who with three brothers and hree sisters survive him.For many years he had -been con neeted' with the firm of Folger, Thornley & Co., and he will be sorely inissed there .as well as in the home and in the social life of Pickens. His body was brought to Pick ens Tiursdav and buried in the emetery here Friday afternoon' after funeral services had been condcted at the home' by 1ev. J.aO. ~ey ansised by Rev. W.E:W1. IriThe funeral was ne of the most largely .t tended ever held in Pickens, an'd most of- the -stores- were closed during' the services. The flora] offerings of friends were numer ous and beautiful, but nothing the people could do could show~ the depth 'of their sorrow. As beautiful: and costly as some ol them were, one of the most ap preciated floral tributes was one brought from the coupitry by ar o14 lady and consistedo6f a bunci of wild flowers- picked by hei own hand. ,With tears in hei eyes she said she wanted t< place on Furman's grave som tribute of her love and that wa ai1oner companions anc frindsof:the departed acted a' pallbeaers: John Carey, Ha godrce, Julins B6ggs, Aver3 Looper, Weldon Christopher anc Dougas Yongue. Would that our feeble pet could portray our feelings anc pay. a just tribute to our-depart ed friend. Those of us whort Furman left behind cannot keei from grieving because we' lovec him and miss him, still we fin< comfort in - the fact that we know his soul dwells today ir Paradise and we hope some day to meet him there.. Numberless friends are sym pathizing with the heartbroker fatnily and praying that the Ruler of the Universe may comn fort them in the darkest hours which - have come into thei1 lives. FARM FACTS By PETER RADFORD, National Lec turer, Farmers' Educational and , Co-Operative Union of America The need of the rural com munities today is intelligent anc consecrated leadership.. The farm is the power house o all progress and the birth place of all that is noble. The fprm is the nursery ol civilization and the parsonage of all religious denominations. The farmer asks no specia: privileges. T h e business 01i farming only wants the same opportunities afforded o t h ei lines of industry. It is as much a duty of the country pastor to exhort us ix own a home while ton earth as it is to inspire us t build a man sion in the skies.
