Furman Morris Dead
A pall of deep gloom was cas
over the fair town of Picken.
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.
The rural press, he pulpit anc
the school are a t jity of power
