G W-Aemx Fuman Morris DeaW A pall of deep gloomewas cast over the fair town of Pickens Thursday morning when a mes sage 7 eached here announcing the death of Furman Morris. Furman Morris dead! We could not realize it. Fburman, good old Furman, who two weeks ago appeared tabe the healthiest person in Pickens, and whose 'ovial smile and cheery words htened the pathway of all who came in contact with him. It was hard to believe it. He died in the Greenville city hospital Thursday morning at 5:30 o'clock, eight days after he had been operated upon for ap pendicitis. On Saturday, Aug iist 22 he was was forced to leave his post at, Folger, Thornley & Company's store on account of sickness, and Sunday night he was taken to the Greenville hos pitar' where an operation was performed that night. Tuesday peritonitis developed and Wed nesday a second operation was performed. All th a t. skillful and attentive doctors and.iturses could do for him was done, but the mighty hand of death could iot be staved. His father and mother were constantly at his bedsi4_and time and again he gave them assurances t t eve'ything was alright witihis soul and that he was at peace with his 'God. He was not fraid togo. IFurman was probably the best known and; most. popular man f. his age in Pickiens county. Strong in body and character jovialin diposition, sociable and synipathetic, he was l6ved by all'who knew him, and many ne h- was born 0c' tobs) 6belinnearfH 2 yew o.g sat '11ideath, '-and was'n.Thiacild of Mr. And' Ms. Mk -%orris, of Pickens who with three,'rothers snd three eters survive him. ~For many years he had been con neeted' with the firm of Folger, 'hornley & Co., and he will be sorely missed there as.wellas n the home aid in the social life if ickens. His body was brought to Pick ens Thursday and buried in the emetery here Friday afternoop, after funeral services had been condcted at the home by -ev. J.. C,'galey assisted by Rev. W.E : Jggis,'The funeral was-:e.of the most largely at tended ever held in Pickens, and, most of the-stores were closed during'the services. The floral 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 of them were, one of the most ap preciated floral tributes was one brought from the country by an old lady and consiste ofiibunch of wild flowers--picked .by her own hand. With tears in her eyes she said she wanted to place on Furtnan's grave some tribute of her 19ye and that was all she had. Six formner companions and fndof 1 departed acted as &Ueis John Carey, Ha gooBnxc, Julius Boggs, Avery Looper, Weldon Christopher and Dougfas Yongue. Wouid that our feeble pen could portray our feelings and pay.a just tribute to our-depart ed friend. Those of us whom Furman left behind cannot keep from grieving because we- loved, him and miss him, still we find 'comfort in - the fact that we know his soul dwells today in Paradise and 'we hope some day to meet him there.. Numberless friends are sym pathizing with the heartbroken fatnily and praying that the Ruler of the Universe may com fort them in the darkest hours which .have come into their lives. FARM FACTS By PETER RADFORD, National Lec turer, Farmers' Edbeatlional and. Co-Operative Union of America The need of the rural comn munities today is intelligent and 1consecrated leadership.. The farm is the power house of all progress and the birth place of all that is noble. The fprm is the nursery of civilization and the parsonage of all religious denominations. The farmer asks no special privileges. T h e business o f farming only wants the same opportunities afforded o t h e r lines of industry.. It isasrmuch aduty of the country pastor to exhort us to own a home while ton earth as it is to inspire us t~ build a man sion in the skies. The rural press, ihe pulpit and the school are a t aity of power ful ia ces tha the farmer must utilizNthe, fullest ca pacity before 1,e ccupy a commanding m public affairs.
