JONESVILLE NEWS LETTER Events Sad and Gay Chronicled by The Times' Correspondent?Death of Two Good Women. Joner-ville, June 16.?In the last few days Jonesville has had a contrast of events mixed with joy and happiness, sadness and tears. Last Thursday morning the sweet two-year-old daughter, Catia, of Mr. and Mrs. D. B. Free, Jr., died rather strangely and suddenly. The remains were buried the following day at Gilead. Death of Mrs. J. L. McKinney. On Saturday morning Mrs. J. L. McKinncy died at the home of her husband, four miles east of Jonesville, after several days illness. Mrs. McKinney's maiden name was Miss Hallinger, and she was a native of Greenville county.

The contrast in the weather the last week has been equally as great us that in the other events. The temperature a week ago was fifty degrees, while today it is ninety. Our town seems to be deserted by the country people as there is scarcely a farmer to be seen on the streets. Mrs. S. B. Ezell, Mrs. John Hill, Mrs. Jimmy Maxwell and Mrs. Clara Thomson all of Spartanburg, were the guests of Mrs. L. J. Fowler, last week. Mr. P. P. Williams, who left Jonesille about seventeen months ago for Phoenix, Arizona for his health, has returned to his native home again to spend the remainder of his life. Mr. Williams has lung trouble, and thought the dry atmosphere of Arizona would help him. After staying in Phoenix a while he went to Texas, and New Mexico, still seeking for health, but none of these places improved his health, so he returns about as he went away.
