And can feel my spirit present? Will I see a beckoning hand? Will my children come to meet me If I climb the golden stair, Feel their loving arms around me, Hear them call me mother there. THE FOLLOWING IS a poem, written by Mrs. Anna S. Pearsall of Silverstreet: When life’s journey here is ended, All it’s burdens rolled away, Shall I enter life eternal See the light of endless day? When I step into the life boat, And the boatman takes his oar, Will my loved ones bid me welcome, SPENDING THE AFTERNOON in the Maybinton section of the county Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Maybin and family, were Mae Gene Hodge of Lancaster, Maxine Hodge of Alcolu, students at Newber ry college and Doris Armfield.

Many works of nature are beautiful, but none, in my opinion, are quite so beautiful as spring. Although it is a little early yet for the woods along the highways to be pretty, for dogwood and judas trees and wild flowers are not yet in bloom, one can see many lovely sights just riding around the streets of Newberry. Two places, especially worth a trip there to see, are the Margaret Hunter Park and the New berry Water and Light plant. To those who were responsible for the beauty of these two places we should be grateful. Visitors from out of town in Newberry always marvel at Newberry having puch a lovely park as the Margaret Hunter Park open to the public. Ever since I can re member, the grounds of the Water and Light plant have been beautiful. It seems that they are more so this year than ever before. Next time you are out joy-riding, drive by these two places, and get out and walk around. You are always welcomed at either place. Another drive that will be lovely in about two or three weeks is the bridal path in Lynch’s Woods. The woods there are just full of pink and white dogwood trees, and is really a sight worth seeing. But just rem ember, don’t stop and pick any of those flower blossoms that look so pretty from the highway. You’ve enjoyed seeing them, so leave them there for someone else to see. gressions of contract were enjoyed. Attractive gifts were given to Mrs. C. H. Albrecht, high scorer, Miss Jane Winn, low, and Mrs. Ed McCrackin. bingo. The hostesses presented Miss Jackson with a trousseau gift. Enjoying this delightful occasion besides the honoree were the follow ing: Mrs. Griffin Coleman, Mrs. James Tolbert, Mrs. Jerry O’Quinn, Mrs. Ralph Quinn, Mrs. Ed McCrackin, Mrs. Ruth Albrecht, Mrs. Clem You- mans, Misses Ruth Clary, Jane Winn, Mary McClurt and Clara Davis. IS THIS YOU? The young lady described last week in this column was Miss Lydie Clary, of Boundary street, who is a fresh man at Newberry college. The col lege professor, as many of you prob ably guessed, was Dr. S. J. Derrick. ITie first description this week is the gentleman who was in TJie Sun office Tuesday afternoon telling this reporter about a “dog tale” almost getting him into trouble. He was also telling a tall “chicken tale". The second description is a yotmg lady who works in an office on Main street. She isn’t very tall, has med ium brown hair and blue eyes. Tues day morning she was wearing a new spring dress. The drees was of light background with stripes running ver tically on the waist part, and bias on the skirt, which was pleated. If you think either of these des criptions fit you. come by The Sun office by Tuesday and receive your ticket entitling you to one quart of ice cream from Stokes’ Drug store, compliments of Stokes’ and The Sun.
