Neglecting a little wound, cut or abras

ten cause no great suffering or inconveni

causes blood poisoning, lockjaw or a

A HAPPY REUNION.
A happy reunion combined with the
celebration of the Declaration of In
dependence took place at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. J. L. English four miles
north of Broxton on last Sunday, July
the 4th, when all the children, grand
children and great grand children met
to converse and mingle and call back
memories of Jong ago. It has been a
custom in the past that this family
annually have a great feast and gath
ering on May 5 where not only the
children of this aged couple, but their
numerous friends always look forward
to the day being one of the happiest
to confront them. But as the tides
have rolled to and fro, some of the
children have drifted to other states
and long absence and the endeared
love for both father and mother, the
members of the family pledged forth
an effort to assemble at the old home
on the above date. When the noon
hour came each one nearly forgotten
that the apppinted draft of the Dec
laration of Independence had ever
been launched for about an hour after'
12 o’clock no one could introduce no'
sly joke that dinner had not been
served.
A long table had been prepared out
under large shady trees in the yard
where pies, cakes, rolls, hams, chick
ens, soups, fruits and vegetables with
ice lunch had been served to all those
present.
It had been some time since this
family had all been together at one
time to their reunion. Eight children
surviverthem, one deceased, 45 grand
children, 21 great grandchildren.
On Sept. 15, following, Mr. English
will be 78 years old and Aug. 14, fol
lowing, his wife will be 71 years old.
During their many years of compan
ionship they have lived happily to
gether, being wonderfully blessed in
health and always submissive to Thee
in trust and faith.
Those of his children present were
Mrs. Nora Walden and children, of
Jacksonville, Ga., Mrs. W. M. Pope
and family of South Douglas, Mr. W.
L. English and family of Ambrose Rt
2, Mrs. J. C. Melvin and family of
Winter Haven, Fla., Mr. T. B. English
and family, of Waycross, Mrs. H. F.
Yates and family, of Greenville, Fla.,
Mr. J. H. English and family, of Brox
ton, and Mrs. G. C. Smith and family,
of Daytona, Fla.
Since moving to the county about
16 years ago Mr. and Mrs. English
have endeared themselves to the com
munity in which they live and have
many loyal friends, together with
