by, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. M.
Wilson. lie volunteered in the army at
the same time with Elmer Holcombe

a striking coincidence that they volun

ously injured Saturday night and died
Sunday morning.

be "The L ast .Judgment." Remember
time and place, Pickens Baptist church,
April 14. Come one and all, fetch

An interesting Let
ter From Cateechee
Owing to Uncle Sam's urgent need
for recruits Dan Cupid had not bedn
doing much of late, consequently the
ld miller had apout decided he would
have to engage in other business, when
n last Sunday, April 7, about 9 a. m.
"daylight" time,' he received a call to
come to the residence of Mr. Clyde Gil
strap, in the town of Norris, at once.
Just as soon as the old miller could get
a "band" around his neck and a "choke
rag" tied, he got behind a "hard tail''
and lit out. On his arrival at the ap
pointed place the old miller found Mr.
Ralph Gilstrap waiting with a "turn"
he had stolen from Mr. Charlie Holden
of near Norris.
As the town of Norris is without a
marshal and the old miller doesn't re
ceive any part of the property in the
deal, there would be no criminal act on
his part to turn the grain into malt, put
them under their own "vine and fig
tree" and let them go to work for
themselves. So by the authority of a
writ from the Probate Judge, J. Alonzo
Brown, N. P., granted Miss Callie Hol
den the coveted pleasure of cooking for
Mr. Ralph Gilstrap the remainder of
their lives or so long as Raph keeps it
to cook. The bridegroom is a son of
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Gilstrap of Norris
and is a deserving young man, white bla
bride is the eldest daughter of Mr. anc4 '
Mrs. Charlie Holden of Norris and ig
just as smart as she is handsome,
Two war recruits arrived at the dom
icile of Mr. and Mrs. Thomps Maddox
of Norris last week. Thomps named
them William Henry and John Thomas
and says while old Kaiser Hill is advo
cating raising another army in Ger
many he is doing his bit for America.
Look out, Clyde Gilstrap, you Twill
have to either come again or give the
belt to Thomps.
The writer made a flying trip to Co
lumbia last week. While there we had
the pleasure of seeing the last tokens
of respect in honor of the father of our
country, George Washington, and that
heroic Wade Hampton and the Daugh
ters of the Confederacy. We also vis
ited the hospital for the insane, the
penitentiary and other places of note.
We saw some of the finest cattle we
ever saw at the state hospital dairy.
We saw cows that weighed over seven
teen hundred pounds and one heifer two
years old that weighed 1,100 pounds.
They have 95 milk cows, seven heifers,
12 calves and four pure bred Holstein
bulls. The records of the milkers we
were told by the manager of the dairy
is from 13Jto 13. gallons of milk a day,
each. One pure bred Holstein cow,
Annie Johannah Spofford.gave 720 lbs.
of milk and 37j lhs butter in 7 days; her
age is 6 years. Queen Lady DeKeol,
age .l years, gave 585 lbs milk and
30 3-4 lbs butter irn 7 days. Edith Ma
ple Crest Pontiac Artis, age 1 year, 11
months, 2 days, gave 621 5-10 lbs milk
and 27 3.4 lbs butter in 7 days. We
were told that the milk and butter was
weighed by authorities from Clemson
College. Ray Apple Klondyke 8th is a
son of the most famous bull in the
world and can be seen at this dairy.
They have different grades of cattle at
this dairy but the pure bred Holstein is
the finest stock they have.
Inasmuch as The Sentinel spoke
alhout county candidates last week it
might be well enough to say that rumor
has it that Cateechee will very likely
furnish a candidate for the house of
representatives and one- for the office of
probate judge, while the town of Norris
may furnish one for county supervisor
in the coming primary. B.
