Up to the-IMinute-Job-.Pri ting BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION. From time to time The Sentinel gives accounts of family reunions, hence it may n'ot be amiss to write about the reunion at Mr. W. F. John.' son's home. July first, about sixty relatives and friends met there to celebrate Mrs. Mary Johnson Barr's birthday. Mrs. Barr is the eldest of the four surviving children of the l late Mr. Robert Johnson. Consider ing the gathering it seemed that Mrs. Barr had friends in all ages of' life. Merry children laughed and played under the cool shade of the trees; fair maidens "blushed at the praise of their own loveliness;" young ma trons smiled on sleeping infants; groups, who l)ad reached life's after noon, discussed current events or ex changed reminiscences of the past. Mr. B. J. Johnson, a Confederate veteran, related incidents of the Civil War in such a graphic manner .that one could almost hear the Con federates yell and see the head-long charges they made. Tempting refreshments are expect ed at a birthday gathering, but on this occasion the dinner had been so carefully prepared it surpasssed ex pectation. Rev. Jackson read the first psalm and made appropriate remarks. Mrs. W. F. Johnson played old time piec es. Several singers were present. Enlivened by song and story the summer day glided swiftly away and the time for parting came all too soon. Mrs. Barr's friends hope that she may live to celebrate many more such pleasant birthdays.

Easley Lumber Co &P. vi' OBITUAIV. The death angel visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Boldin May S 30, 1921, and took frm them their darling baby, Joe Clyde, age two years and ten months.. His life was short but was so ftl1 of sunshine. To know him was to love him. a All that loving hands could do was t done for him, but Jesus said he had t a place vacant in heaven that he s wanted Clyde to fill, And today we t know while our hearts are bleeding s and broken he is safe forever with p all the loved ones and is with Jesus s where he will never know no sorrow d or care like mother and father have t had. W.e know that God never made a t mistake, but it seemed so hard to I have him placed in his little white casket, his little sweet hands full of c flowers and see him carried away s from us where we will never hear i that sweet little voice calling us r again. But we believe he is calling s us to come on where he is, where there will be no more sad parting, a where all is joy and gladness. We laid him to await the great I resurrection day at Flat Rock ceme tery by his dear old grandfather, I amid the most beautiful floral offer- t ing. We never can thank our dear t friends and neighbors enough for their kindness and help, day and night. May God's richest blessings rest on them. And. also Dr. Allgood who we beleve did all he could for little Clyde. We never can forget him for all he did. There'll never be crepe on the door knob, no funeral train in the skies, No graves on the hillsides of glory, For there ne shall never more die. He leaves to mourn his loss one brother, father and mother. We know he can never come back to his little chair at the table, but we can go to wl re he is. His grandmother, Mrs. G. A. Bagwell.
