MICKIE SAYS IN - 4 * J V ANNOUNCEMENT I have sold my interest in The Pick ens Sentinel Co., and on October 1 will be succeeded as editor and manager of this paper by Mr. W. L. Matheny. I took charge of The Sentinel 'six years ago and my stay in PicKens has been very pleasant. The people of this county have been good to )Ie, over looking my shortcomings to a great extent and encouraging me in other ways. I want you to know that I ap preciate your goodness to mne. To the paper's regular correspon (Jents and others who have lielped me to make The Sentinel a readable paper I ai deeply grateful. Without their hel) tle papler would not have suc cv(eded as well as it has. When I came here six years ago The Sentinel was not a paying business for the stuckholders or those who made the paper. I ain glad t) say that I leave it paying the ,,tockholders a reasonableye tuiI on tihe mone1y i nveste( and the "dear old S.-J." is now' in the best Ish tm of its forty-wevenl ycars of, exist ele, alnd is oile of the best, newspapelr properties I know of in any town the size of l'ickens. I L would please me to see the paper grow and prosier and I bespeak for it a continuance of the loyal SUppor L given it heretofore. 1 must say that the stockholders of the publishing company have been most kind and generous to me. They are among our best business men and it has been a pleasure to deal-with them. Mr. Matheny, the new editor and manager, is no stranger to the people of Pickens county. He is an experi enced newspaper man and has been connected with The Sentinel before. For the past several years he has been bookkeeper for Folger, Thornley & Co., and clerk of the county board of com missioners. lie willi make a good paper and I hope those who have been friends of the paper during my management will continue so. I have no definite plans for the future, and you know what our Uncle Sam says about a man without a job. With ill will toward none, but love for all, GARY HIOTT. B. B. Gilstrap On Tuesday, September 10, we were greatly shocked an() saddened when the news was heralied thru the community that Bro. B. B. Gilstrap had pasied into the great beyond. "Uncle Bense, " as he was familiarly called, hadi been in failing health for a numn ber of years, but wvas taken sick about four weeks ago, growing worse on Monday night. His funeral was held the following day at Pickens View Wesleyan Methodist church, of which he had been a loyal member for the last five ye(ars. Services were con ducted y his ormer astor,Re.D 0. P'owers, assistedl by his nephew, R~ev. Levi Rigdon, in the presence of a large company of relatives andi friends. Not only is he missed in the home, but in the church and Sunday school; his voice is missed by pastor, and especially by superintendent and scholars in the study of the lesson. Not long before his death he testiffed many times of being ready and willing to go. Bro. G.ilstrap who was the son of the late Hardy G;ilstrap, was sixty-nine years of age. lie had been twice inar ried, the first time to Miss Vesta Reed. Of this union the following children suirvive: ,John S.. W. L,., Joab, Hardy and Joseph \Vyatt His second wife, whose maiden name was Miss Lucretia lhous, also survives. Besides these lhe leaves three sisters anid three broth era. To the bereaverd relatives we ex tend our sympathy. I .et us all so) live that when our' summons comes we can say with Paul : "I1 have. fought a good1 light; I have finished may cours-e; I have kept the faith." A RiELArIvfe.
