During his rectors te two highly successful missions have been held here?in November, 1914,by Rev Harold Thomas of Florence and in January of this year by Rev G Croft Williams of Charleston.

Our esteemed friend, Dr I W Graham, of the Gourdin section, was noted in Kingstree Monday. It was his eighty-sixth birthday, and to say it was a pleasure to us, as well as to others of his friends who saw him here on his natal day, is but to assure him of the high esteem in which he is held by all who know him. The venerable doctor is still hale and hearty and seldom fails to visit Kingstree upon theopeningof court, for it is then and there that he enjoys meeting so many of his friends from various parts of the county. Dr Graham was born in 1830 on the Graham place at Gourdin, where Ho nnu; roaiHoa Fnrlv in Ufa Ha studied and was graduated in medicine at the University of Virginia, with distinction. At the outbreak of the war he entered the army of the Confederacy as a private soldier,but his knowledge of medicine and apparent natural turn in the skilful treatment of sick or wounded comrades soon won him promotion to the rank of assistant surgeon. At the close of the co/iflict he was a surgeon, with the rank of captain. Dr Graham has two sons, Hons J C and S A Graham,of whom he may well feel proud, for they are high| toned gentlemen farmers; have each i reared an interesting family of sons j and daughters, who are also making . good. nr. i 4.N.. i-i-i.- i - - ?Ytr nearuiy congratulate me aoctor upon his 86th anniversary and hope that he may be spared to enjoy many more similar occasions.
