Steele It becomes the writer's sad duty to chronicle the death of Mrs. GeorgiaAnn Miller Steele, which occurred at her home May 17. Mrs. Steele had been suffering from a severe strolie of par alysis since Sept. 18, 1913, which had rendered her an invalid for almost three years. She bore her suffering with Christian fortitude, always willing that "the Lord's will be done." She was attended by a number of our best phy sicians, but this dreadful disease could not be managed. Mrs. Steele was born March 1, 1846. She joined the Presbyterian church in her early womanhood. She lived a con sistent member of same until her death. Mrs. Steele was very enthusiastic in Sunday school and missionary work. She had a gentle disposition; to know her was to love her. She was ever mindful to entertain strangers. We thank God for the lives of such noble women. Sister Steele, we 1i snrely miss thee In our circles here below; But the thought of a heavenly meeting Is the sweetest thought to know. She was married to Capt. R. E. Steele April 27, 1869. To this marriage was born three daughters, namely: Emily and Emma Love, who died when very young, and Miss Rosa, who died at the age of 17. (So mother and daughters are united just over the river.) There was also born to Mr. and Mrs. Steele five sons, who survive her, with their father. The sons are: Messrs. J. E. M., C. M. and J. F., Pickens; J. E. Steele, Indianapolis, Ind., and Dr. W. H. Steele, Jackson, Ga. No mother could boast of five more loyal sons. Mr. J. F., the youngest son, patiently answered her every call during the days of her in validism and cared for her tenderly as she cared for him in infancy. By her request funeral services were conducted by Rev. B. F. Murphree, as sisted by her pastor, Rev. Wallis. Amid a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends the remains were laid to rest in Keowee cemetery beside her mother and her three daughters. We would commend the grief-stricken ohes to the Omniscious One who worketh all things for good to them that love Him. It is a sweet consolation to know that "the Lord loveth whom he chas teneth." "I shine in the light of God; 'His image stamps my brow. Thru the shadow of death my feet have trod I reign in glory now. "I have found the joys of heaven; I am one of the angel band. To my head a crown of gold is given; A harp is in my hand. I have learned the songs they sing Whom Jesus hath set free. "No sins, no grief, no pain Safe in my happy home; My fears all fled, my foes all slain, My hour of triumph come. *Then why should your tears run down, Or your hearts he sorely riven? For another gem in the Savior's crown, And another soul in Heaven." A FRIEND. Along Pickens Route 5i (Too Late F'or Last Week) Rev.

Upon payment of $25 or serving one month balanne of sen tence suspended during good behavior,' A pathetic sce'ne occuried in the court room Monday afternoon. Three young boys, Hooper, Smith. and Rice, aged 14, 15 and 151 years, had plead guilty to a charge of house-breaking and grand larceny, having broken into a store and stolen $35 worth of goods at the VEasley.$ mill. The solicitor asked that the judge be lenient with the boys on account of their youth. The presidingjudge told them he was sorry for them and gave, them some good advice, but it was his duty to pass sentence upon them for their offenses. And it was fourteen months in the state reformatory for boys. There was a silence. Then came the pathetic part. Mothers of two of the boys came up with tear-filled eyes to the prisoner's dock where the boys were and talked to them and caressed them; then after a few minutes the mothers went out of the court room bowed in grief. Boys, think of your silvery-haired mothers when you start to do wrong. It is probable that court will adjourn about Wednesday.
