X Many Attend The Guillebeaux Meet Nearly 200 descendants of Andre Guillebeaux and Mary Roquemore Guillebeaux and friends of these attended their fourth annual re union at the old Guillebeaux home in McCormick county Wednesday, August 16th. ‘ This quaint old home, which is a specimen of antiquity, is located between Bordeaux and Willington near the C. & W. C. railroad. Tra dition says it was built more than 150 years ago for Andre Guillebeaux shortly after his return from the Revolutionary war, and today it stands in a fair state of preserva tion. After winding ones way up the narrow stair case, one may see square holes cut through the heart timbers of which the house is con structed. This is said to be evidence of the fact that this house was at one time used as a fort during com bats with the Indians, who were then scattered along the banks • of Little River. The house is now kept by Mary Brown, a former slave of the Guillebeaux family. She says she remembers when the War Be tween the States started. She was 15 years old then and four years later when she and her family were told that they were free, she says that it meant no change in her life at all. She had always been treated kindly and she wished to remain true and loyal to her “White Folks.” In her keeping are two hand made bedspreads which are said to be about 150 years old. They were on display Wednesday, also an antique spinning wheel, quill filler and a rifle used by her former mas ter. After an interesting program centered around the theme “Home Influences,” a bountiful picnic din ner was served under the giant oak trees facing the house. Those tak ing part in the program were Al bert E. Guillebeaux, of Lincolntom Ga., chairman; Hon. J. Arch Tal-, bert, of McCormick; Mrs. D. C. Tal bert, of Troy, S. C.; Dr. Ben F. Tal-. bert, of Greenville; the Rev. E. F^ Gettys, of De la Howe School; Mr Lonnie L. Guillebeaux, of Lincoln- ton, Ga.; Miss Elizabeth Fooshe of McCormick, and Miss Mary Gi bert, who is now engaged in home mission work in the state of Mis sissippi, and Rev and Mrs. Virgl> Dean of Willington. tXl Little Boy Hurt Friday Afternoon The many friends of “Sonny” Caudle, nine year old son of Mr. Notice To Old Soldiers And Widows I have received a voucher from, the comptroller general for the second twenty-five per cent of 1933 pension.
