states have provided institutions of
learning where every boy and girl can
prepare themselves lor usefulness and
honor under tiie government in which

three things, you will have success any
where and everywhere. God bless

About two weens ago Mrs. John
Edwards lost a needle and thread.
A few days ago one of her cats began
to look puny, and on Monday last
the needle was found sticking out at
the side of its neck. It was removed
and his catsblp is all right except for
the hole made by tbe needle and
thread. How the cat came to swal
low tbe needle is one of tbe myste
ries we are unable to explain.
We have often heard of ’Lay-overs-
to-catch meddlers,’’ but never saw
one until recently. A young man
purchased some headache medicine,
and carelessly left it where a
young lady got hold of It who re
moved tbe stopper and took a smell.
It came near blowing the top off her
head, s< Jthe'.said. She was as pale as
a corpse.
Mr. and Mrs. H. T. Scott, of Can
non’s Camp Ground section, are
visiting relatives and friends in this
community. Mr. Scott moved from
this section about twelve years ago.
Our request for a list of deceased
soldiers who went from this section
to the war, we are proud to say is
meeting with a good many responses,
and we hope the good work will go
on until they are all remembered.
The Ladies Memorial Association
will meet at Salem on Saturday,
May 25, at II a. m , to decorate the
graves of the Confederate soldiers
buried there. Hon. Stanyarne Wil
son. of Spartanburg, will deliver an
address on tbe occasion. The pub
lic generally, and especially tne
ladies are invited to attend and bring
their flowers and well filled ’baskets.
"Octavus” gave us a funny court
ing spree and we propose to tell of a
wtdding affair. We will leave off
real names so that nobody can get
mad withont showing they are in it.
A, a widower went to see an elderly
maiden lady, B, and they made up a
match. C was the minister called
upon to perform the marriage
ceremony and as good luck would
hava it he was one of those men who
didn’t stand back for bad weather,
but pressed forward whec duty
called him to do so.
The day set for the wedding was
very cold. Sleet fell thick and fast.
At the appointed hour, C arrived
with his overcoat, hat and scarf aln
fringed with ic cler.
Before a rousing tire sat the pros
pective husbi n l and wife surrounded
by their friends waiting for the cere
mony to take p:ate.
The minister's ice bound habili
ments w< re soon removed and be stood
before the fire rubbing bis hands,
warn ing h’m^elf and making him
self as sgreebl* as the circumstances
would admit of. He was a fluent
talker, and was never happier than
when called upon to perform a mar
riage ceremony so he could brag
about It afterwards. Tbe ceremony
performed, the happy groom who was
a dear lover of the American eagle,
(especially when It was Impressed on
a silver dollar) tipped the miniater
and tbe two stepped outside tbe room
where the groom asked tbe minister
what he owed him (at the same time
running his hand into his pocket and
bringing out two silver dollars bold
ing them very temptingly before the
tpinistrial eyes. Looking askant at the
"filthy lucre” the minister replied:
"Ob, nothing, nothing.’.’ "I’m well
paid in joining two of my flock In the
holy bonds of matrimony."
"Oh, but" says tbe groom "I want
to pay you something for it. You
came out in tbe cold at my request
ifryit mil? roV‘ T, o$,
no” says the minister "I’m satis
fied if you are."
The groom inns’ed but the minis
ter wasjinexorable, still keeping an eye
upon the hand that held the money
At last the groom dropped one of
the dollars into his poexet and tried
ti get the minister to take the other.
Toe minister stood firm. The groom
h<>gan to think it a hopeless case.
Finally, the minister said he hated
to be won i j d so and would take the
m >my only ; o p'oase the groom, but
be had made it a rule when he did
charge at ail lie never charged less
than two dollars.
The groom took the hint and forked
over the two dollars and the colloquy
ended without another word from
either of them. J. L. s.

the
Since writing my first arti.-le about
the Goudelock ancestors, I have re- I
ceived, from various s mrces, facts
concerning the first Adam Goudelock
or Goldenloek with which I am glad j
I can answer some of the inquiries
that have been sent.
Adam was the only son of his
father, and as Irisli custom or law was
in those days, lie was the legal heir ,
to his father’s pn p rty. which con- I
sisted of 12 acres rf land which was;
and is considered un independent for
tune for a single family to possess in j
densely populated Ireland. Adam’s
father dying when he was quite small, !
his mother married a man by tbe :
name of Fleming, to whom there were
born several daughters. Step-father
Fleming became very unkind to little
Adam and made his life so unhappy
that Adam finally informed ids mot lit r
that he was going to set k a hame in
America. Mrs. Fleming assisted her
boy in bis preparations to leave his
native land and soon he sailed to
America, never again to see home and
mother. William Goudelock ut his
death had in h>s possession a letter
from Mrs. Fleming (William’s grand
mother) to her son Adana. That letter
contained the statement that six
acres more of land had been given to
him—making eighteen acres; but
Adam refused to claim his birthright,
saying his sisters needed the home in
Ireland much more than he did. My
informant has seen the above men
tioned letter which afterward was
destroyed by the fire that burned
David Goudelnck’s law office at
Union. I have also learned that
Adam Goudelock was a crq pie, but
was wagon-master in the American
army. ’ This circumstaodb might
have increased the fears of the good
wife, should her husband be found in
the British army, and caused her to
deviate from the truth to Col. Wash
ington.^
There is no tombatone tp mark the
last resting place of Adam Goudelock
and his devoted wife—nothing but
rude stones. We cannot tell which
grave is Adam’s or which is Hannah’s,
but they are peacefully sleeping on a
beautiful little knoll,shaded by a few
wide spreadi ''“oaks.
Would it not be a commendable
act for all the descendants of this
aged couple to commemorate their
memory and mark their resting place
neat tomb? I believe if only
some-ofour good women (in whose
veins flows this noble Irish blood)
would only volunteer to lead there
would be no trouble to curry out the
suggestion. Believing that more
facts concerning our ancestors will
still be brought to light, I am,
Yours respectfully,
Newton Goudelock Littlejohn.
