KELTON Kelton, May 22.?We had a light shower of rain last night and this morning and is cloudy today. We hope for a good rain, which is badly needed. I returned home yesterday after an absence of a week attending the U. C. V. reunion at Birmingham. Comrades John H. Foster and A. G. Bentley of the Ridge attended tl onvention. We had an enjoyable . .eeting and the hospitality given the old Veterans was good and all seemed to enjoy themselves the very best. I did not meet scarcely any of the Union county boys of the sixties. Geo. Buchanan, Lee Armstrong, Capers Scott, Robt. Howell and others who usually attend these meetings were absent. I guess some of them have crossed over the river of death since our last meeting like my dear brother W. H. had. We are passing away very fast and soon will all be gone. The South Carolinians and their descendants entertained the Division of South Carolina in a four-story building. They had cots and beds for all who wished to stay at our headquar ters and gave us a good breakfast in order that we might enjoy ourselves together without going to the camp, where all could be sheltered and fed. I spent one night with my life-long .friend, Mr. Frank Moseley. Mr. Moseley was reared in our county and his mother lived in our immediate community right after the war and later he worked in The Union Times office under 'Editor States. His father, William, was a member of the 15 S. C. V. and was killed in the great battle of Gettysburg, Va. He said he was disappointed in not seeing J. G. Long, Zack Reaves and others at the reunion. He is editor of a labor paper published in Birmingham. I also met Susan, his sister, who married a Mr. Miller of Union county. He died and she married a second time and lives about forty miles from Birmingham. She and her husband said they were coming out here in their car this or next summer. It seemed to me that nearly all the people of Birmingham that I talked to their ancestors had come from South Carolina. The last day was parade T ? 1 uajr, ? never nave seen so many school children at one time. They were in the march and made more noise than a thousand geese quacking together. I have no idea the number of people lined the streets during the march. Mrs. M. E. Britton, who taught the Kelton school several years ago, has recently been visiting her many friends on the Ridge. I did not get to meet her, which I much regretted. Come again, Mrs. Britton, you have many warm friends here. . Mrs. Mace Going, who has been sick for many months, quietly passed away w' last Friday and was laid to rest at "Mt. Joy church Sunday in the presence of the largest gathering of people that has been i'n many a day at her church. She was a faithful and devoted Christian. Mt. Joy church has lost one of her most consecrated members and her husband a loving wife and the community a true friend. She was a Tennessean by birth and besides her husband and two little children she left many friends and relatives to mourn her death. The bereaved ones have the profound sympathy of this community. I forgot to mention in my Birmingham write-up of a lady who came into South Carolina headquarters looking for a husband. She was well dressed ami a very good looking ladv. As you know, the most of them are pretty. Some of the old Vets were talking to her, I don't know whether they were widowers or not. I thought of my friends, Dan Inman and J. M. Greer, and wished they had been there. Stir up, boys, you may he left. I only got to kiss one little sweet 13-year-old girl while gone. I hear that Mr. Fester Gault and M;rs Vera Gaidt were n arried last evening. G. T. G. PACOLET, ROUTE 2. Pacolet, Route 2, May 22.?It is raining this morning and the clouds look as if it had set in for the day. Crops are behind on account of the dry weather. We haven't had scarcely any rain since the 7th of April. Very few farmers have a good stand of cotton and some of them haven't planted any corn at all. There was an ice cream supper at Mr. S. T. Kirby's Saturday night. A large crowd was present and all enjoyed it very much. The Pacolet High school closed last Friday. The commencement exercises were held Thursday and Friday night. Gov. R. I. Manning and Prof. A. G. Rembert of Spartanburg delivered excellent addresses in the school auditorium Thursday afternoon. Large crowds attended all the ovnr/>iano an/1 VAV> V1PVO OIIU Vlic t'llllUI CU tci Wlllliy were a credit to their teachers. Prof. Waters has been reelected principal for next session. There were a number of visitors at the Mabry Sunday school Sunday afternoon. We hope they will come again; everybody is welcome. Mrs. A. C. Spencer of Jonesville spent Saturday night with her brother, Mr. R. R. Coleman. Miss Bertha Hart spent a few days in Pacolet last week with her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. N. F. Fowler. Misses Bell and Mellie Kirby spent Sunday with Miss Virgie Coleman. Mrs. Dock Coleman of Columbia spent Saturday night with her son, Mr. R. R. Coleman. Mr. and Mrs. Fincher Bobo and children of the Cedar Grove community spent Sunday on the route. Solo.

During the ' past year we spent at least six hundred (000) dollars for doctors' bill? for her, but Tanlac was the only medicine which gave her relief. Tanlac is the greatest medicine on earth. "Her suffering was so intense and so terrible thqt it caused her to gr into a kind of convulsion. We had laid her out, thinking she was dead at least two hundred (200) times in the past eleven months. Scores of times when she was laid out, I hoped she really was dead, so she would not have to longer endure that awful suffering. "But, she was relieved in just two iZ) weeks by Tanlac, and now, fifteen (15) days after she began taking it, she is up and goes out visiting, though she had been confined to her bed six (6) weeks before she began taking Tanlac." Mrs. Kernels, who lives at 10 Hammett St., said: "I suffered from chronic stomach trouble, and steadiriiy became worse despite all treat^^ient. Last summer I was twice opwithout gaining relief. I HBastold my case was hopeless, but I I negan taking Tanlac and the very Jtifirafc dose decreased the intensity of those awful attacks which followed each meal. I have taken two and a half (2Vfc) bottles of Tanlac, and have I gained ten (10) pounds in weight. I am doing my housework now, and do not suffer those attacks."
