Wilkinsville. May 6.—Mrs. “Betsy”
Whitesides, who died at Blacksburg
last Monday, was the mother of
Messrs. C. W. Whisonant, of Wll- 1
blnsville, and Wm. A. and John
Whisonant and Mrs. Mattie Goforth,
of Blacksburg. She would have been
eighty-seven years old the 12th of
next August. She was a member of |
one of the oldest and most highly res
pected families of Western York—a
daughte r of the late John White of
King’s Creek, and a sister of Dr.
Alexander White, who was assas
sinated at his home near Wilkinsville
on the night of August 24th. 1865.
We have known Mrs. Whitesides
from our boyhood days. She married
Mr. Robert Whitesides. Sr., (com
monly known as “Uncle Bobbin”) af
ter the death of her first husband, Mr.
Henry Whisonant, which took place
fifty-four years ago at his home on
Broad river just above Smith’s ford,
on the York side.
She was a lady of ejeat. mental and
business attainments—superintending
her farm and raising her family and
helping the poor women about he*- In
time of the war by giving them work
when they wanted it. and were in
need of such help. She was a good
manager in business affairs and her
counsel was always sought by those
wanting good advice. She was a
tower of strength in her home and
the community in which she lived.
Truly a mother in Israel is gone.
She has met
That sad and that divine event
To which the whole creation moves.
Peace to her ashes.
We seldom detect the ambiguity in
our “xpression of thought until after
it appears in print and it’s too late
then to correct it and so we let it go.
We had a nice shower of rain last
Wednesday night which did much to
revive vegetation and bring cotton
up. (We mean the plant and not the
price). The wind blew cold all day
Wednesday but the weather turned
warm that night.
Mr. J. L. Walker has a fine field of
cats headed out.
Housewives are having fairly "good
luck” with their chickens and if noth
ing happens they will be ready for
the big dinners this summer.
“Uncle Sill doesn’t like picnics
very much. He went to one once
when his children were small, and
tool? a trunk full of provision and he
had to buy a watermelon to feeR the
little fellows on till they got back
home. If a cyclone had struck the
table that day it wouldn’t have de
molished its contents any sooner than
that crowd did when dinner was an
nounced. It was enough to put any-
'body out with picnics, of that kind at
least, and we don’t blame him for
his disgust.
Messrs. J. N. and Sam .1. Strain
with Master Archie and Sim Glenn,
colored, went to Gaffney Wednesday
on business. They called and in
spected the new motive power install
ed in The Ledger office. Archie
saw the elephant and some of the
other show animals.
When a married man speaks of
such an such young ladies being
smart and good looking he is not
apt to get his wife to agree with him.
She will some times try to make him
believe he is no judge of beauty even
at the risk of making him think she
is neither smart or good looking her
self. Such is life, and such is na
ture, it seems.
The communion meeting at Salem
will begin next Friday night at 8
o’clock and close with the celebration
of the Lord’s Supper on Sabbath.
There will be preaching Friday night,
Saturday and Saturday night. It is
not yet known whether Rev. Mr.
Ratchford will have any ministerial
help during the meeting.
Mr. C. W. WBiisonant returned
-.Tuesday jjight from Blacksburg
where he attended the funeral of his
mother, Mrs. “Betsy” Whitesides.
Miss Bonnie McCluney has been
quite unwell this week but It is
hoped she will be able to attend the
picnic at her school house tomorrow
—Saturday.
Mrs. “J. L. S.” has set out her
sweet potato plants. She has also
been feeding us on strawberry pies
until we are about getting tired of
them—something we thought we
never could do. But it’s said that a
wise man changes his opinion some
time while the other fellow never
does—the fact is he has none/to
change.
If The Ledger’s poetaster continues
to crowd the paper with the product
of his pen he will receive the editor’s
hlessslng.
Old Dr. John Douglass, one of the
“Rocky creek Irish,” used to say that
“a poet was half fool and half devil.”
Sometimes he possesses more than
equal parts of each.
We expect the poets and stump
speakers to crowd the country this
year. If they lack anything they can
perhaps get it from us newspaper
correspondents.
We have had an unusual amount of
dry, cool winds this season which has
had a tendency to hold back the
growth of vegetation—especially cot
ton.
There will be a memorial service
and decoration of the Confederate
soldiers’ graves at Unity church near
Hickory Grove, on Friday, 21st inst,
at 1:30 o’clock, p. m.
Several of our neighbors went to
Gaffney last Monday on business.
Those interested in the graveyard
at Salem are expected to meet there
this morning to clean it off for the
decoration services tomorrow eve
ning. .
Rev. T. F. Boozer closed his school
at the Sunnyside school house last
Friday and is now at h!s home In
Gaffney, taking a vacation.
