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.
