Scranton, March 17:?Relatives and friends here attended the funeral services of Mr Jack M Lee, Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock, at the family burial ground. Rev J W Truluck conducted the funeral services. Mr Lee was a prosperous farmer of the Pleasant Grove section and was about sixty years old. A large circle ot relatives survive to mourn his loss. Following is the tribute paid to the deceased by The Florence Daily Times in its issue of March 17: "Information was received in the city yesterday that Jack M Lee, one of the best known men in the county, especially among the politicians, had died suddenly that morning. He had been in bad health for some time but his end was not expected for a long time yetffco come. Everybody Joved "Uncle Jack," he was one of the kindest hearted and most lovable men in the county, and never a man could say that "Uncle Jack" ever did him a mean trick. He loved politics and politicians and he has iong been known as the "King of Pleasant Grove." He \yas a man every politician wanted on his side and he was a good worker. In his community Jack Lee's influence lay in the fact that he was the leader in all constructive work for fhA AAmmnnitu Mo hQrJ hoH blic WlliUIUUlVJ* * 4V 1IUVI ??MVt *V?? opportunities himself, but he wanted the children growing up around him to have all that they could get. He leaves nine children: the oldest son, Bonneau, is in the army; L L is working in the West, probably in Oregon; Luther is in Sumter; Irbyand Lide are at home. The daughters are: Mrs Fred McClam of Lake City, Mrs W H Medlin of Darlington, Mrs Josh Langston of this county, at Sardis, and the baby, Miss Janie, a young lady of about sixteen, at home.

IMG i WHITE OAK CHIPS I Picked Up Daring the Week by i Oar Wideawake Scribe. 9 White Oak, March 17:?Mr and < Mrs Lawrence A Eaddy of Leo spent ' the week-end with the former's son, . Mr A R Eaddy, and family. After spending a few weeks pleas- i antlv here, Mr M S Buffkin has re- i turned to his new home at Claren- 1 don. N C. s Mr Jas P Sauls, a former "twig" i of White Oak, but for the past sev- i eral years a resident of Lake City, has decided that White Oak is hard i to beat and has again cast his lot < with us. He has rented Mr A W * Ward's farm and will try farm ex- i ercise again for his "good health". 1 We welcome Mr Sauls and family in i our midst. ] Mr C K Eaddy spent several days ; at Dunbar last week, shad fishing. ] Mrs C W Ward and children vis- i ited the former's parents, Mr and 1 Mrs J T Frierson, at Mouzons, the ] iatter part of the week. i Mr W S Guerry, Sr, who for some time past has been jailor at Monck's ( Corner, will make his home in the i - future with his son,Mr W S Guerry, ] Jr, of this place. 1 Mr W H Scott and family made a j brief stay to our community. They < are ijow located near Cooper Bros' 1 stofe. t The addition of several young la- t dies by the recent new-comers to i t this vicinity has had a timid effect | on our boys, or some of them, at I least; as we are informed that some will not venture to call on the young t ladies after night without "a pard- c ner" accompanying them. ? Mr J P Christmas, a concrete con- ^ tractor, who has been following his c trade in Georgia for some time,is at j home with his parents,Mr and Mrs J E Christmas. Mrs J A Griffith and little daugh- j ter, Myrtle, are added to the sick ^ list. We truly hope health and hap- ^ piness will soon prevail in our lively bailiwick.
