COLL B. B, CHENEY
VERY POPULAR MAN
On Wednesday evening, August
12th, 1908. as the sun was kissing
the shadows, e’er sinking to rest
behind the golden and amethyst
clouds of the Occident, Col. Brai
nard Hartwell Cheney was quietly
nearing the shores of eternity,
whence the boatman would convey
him over its tranquil wuters, into
the glorious “Beyond, where all
the wearied toils of earth, all its
sickness a n d disappointments
would forever be gone, and joy in
its completeness reign,
A glad reunion of mother, lat h
er, brother and sister, a happy
meeting the two daughters who
had gone on before, and a watch
ing and waiting for the wife, two
little daughters and bright little
son who are left behind to finish
the work the Master has nppoiuted
unto them. Husband and fattier
will lie missed, und sadness will
hover about the hearthstone, and
hearts will yearn for the form hid
den and long for the voice forever
stilled, but at last the meeting
comes, and in Heaven a home is
prepared, and no darkness can en
ter there. Death is unknown, so
while we are so lonely here, we
will look up and beyond this vale
of tears, knowing that (iod is too
kind to err, and tliut. soon tin*
mists will clear away, ami we
shall know as we nre known.
Col. Cheney was born in Mont
gomery county, at the old home
stead near the Oconee river in
July, 18-17.
As a boy he was highminded,
and availed himself of every op
portunity for an educat ion. As a
young man he enlisted in the war
of the (Xls, was mustered out at
llambcrg, S. C.
After *his he pursued his stud
ies and made his dicision* to be
come a lawyer, lb* was success
ful in his chosen vocation. He
practiced in this and other parts
of the state for thirty years. He
was a gentleman of dignity, cul
ture ami refinement, and it was a
pleusure to be in his company.
Il<* was laid to rest in Riverside
cemetery Thursday afternoon. Rev.
t\ C. Hines, assisted by Rev. \V.
h. Weston, conducted the funeral
services in the Methodist church,
of which In* was a member. Uev.
Hines had known him fora period
ot 40 years, and paid some high
tributes to his memory, offering
consolation ami comfort to his
bereaved ones.
Being a Mason, Ins body was
taken in charge by the lodge of
tins place, and their beautiful ami
impressive ceremony concluded
the services.
The casket was a handsome
black one, with oxidised trim
mings. and ladened w ith beautiful
flowers, tokens of love ami esteem
•out in by friends, who will cher
ish his memory ami offer all sym
pathy and love to the wife and lit
tle ones.
Mrs. Cheney was Miss Mattie
Mootle, of Summerville, S. C. Dr.
G. M. Morale, of Charleston, was
here in attendance at the funeral,
he being a nephew of Mrs. Che
ney. Her sister, Mrs. Mnodc ami
daughter Miss Nellie Monde, ar
rived in the city Friday, and will
remain here for a while.
To those sorrowing ones, and to
the hosts of friends and relatives,
the writer, with others, joins in
love and sympathy, knowing full
well that only the balm of a Sa
vior’s love can soothe the aching
heart and heal the wound made by
the hand that loves you well.—

DEPRESSION ENDS;
PROSPERITY HERE.
“Slowly but surely the business
of the country is expanding ami
giving evidence of renewed life
and vigor,” said Mr. W. P. Treut
larnl, a Chicago traveling man
who was at the DeSoto last night.
“flood, but no bumper crops,
bringing uniformly high prices,
are being harvested and moved
The activity, first visible in the
districts where the greatest wealth
of the nation is produced, is radi
ating everywhere and every branch
of industry is responding in va-
I rying degree to its touch.
“Combined w ith this is the feel
ing of confidence in the industrial j
centers that the business depres- ;
siouof last year has run its course
and that the reaction is at. bund.
|
(n the last month, in industries
! widely variant , the evidences of
returning confidence ami commer
cial activity have been shown.”
Mr. Treutland said that the
election bugaboo is held out still
in many places as u deterrent to
the business awakening, but be
declared that “it is a case of bus
iness forcing itself forward in
spite of politics.”
He said that tie* lessons of the
business depression have been
well learned. Caution and con
servatism have superseded blind
confidence in continuous prosper
ity. He said be expects in every
branch of business the new sea
son to inaugurate not a “boom,”
but a return to normal, healthy
conditions. Savannah Morning
