One of Cherokee’s Well Known Plan
ters Passes Away.
Mr. Clayton O. Petty died at hi-
home, two miles below (iaffney on
the Spartanburg road last Friday
morning. Mr. Petty liad been a
sullerer for som^ time and about
three weeks ago was taken to Atlanta
for the purpose of undergoing uu
operation in the hope of its being
beneficial to him. The operation
was performed and for several days
Mr. Petty was reported as ‘improving
but he soon began to decline and th#
last fond hopes of his family began
to decay. In the early part of lust
week he was brought home and there
he lingered until Friday morning
when the life that <Jod had given
him was taken away. He was sur
rounded by his loving family at the
time of his death.
The remains were enterred at the
Petty Grave Yard, several miles be
low the city.
Mr. Petty was a farmer in good
circumstances. He was also quite
active in local politics and generally
took a strong stand for the side of
hisjchoice. Ho leaves a wife and
several children besides a number of
brothers and sisters to mourn his
loss. The family have t he sympathy
of the community in their misfor
tune.

Infantile Graduates.
The graduating exercises of mem
bers of the infant class of the First
Baptist Sabbath School last Sunday
night were quite interesting. Miss
Eva Ross delivered the validictory
and Miss Lila C. Budd. the teacher,
responded. Prof. R. O. Sams, the
superintendant, and Pastor Ik P,
Robertson took part in the exercises.
Some twenty-odd Sunday School
scholars received diplomas and were
promoted to higher classes. Tlie reci
tations were well rendered and evi
denced the fact that the young peo
ple knew more about the Bible and
Sunday School work than many of
their elders. Miss Budd’s parting
words were very effective but only
slightly reflected her affection for
the scholars which hud been under
her care for years hut who had out
grown their station in the Sunday
School.

General Gordon’s Lectnre.
Concerning Gen. Gordon's lecture.
“Tlie Last Days of the Confederacy,"
which he will deliver here May 2(»tli.
tlie Atlanta Journal has the follow
ing to say:
General Gordon is a born orator.
His voice is rounded and full, iiis
diction eloquent anti graphic, his
whole manner impressive. And tor
substance his lecture is based upon a
wealth of scenes and incidents at once
new and interesting in tlie extreme.
No synopsis can convey the slightest
idea of the superb lecture. It must
he heard to be appreciated. He held
Ids great audience in rapt attention.
That lecture is a sensation. It is no
partisan speech, but from a great
loyal heart which knows how to re
new its loyalty to the Hag of the
Union with increased devotion.

help the matter along.
