McCullough luul tho pleasure! of a, family reunion at the home of her danght 'r, Mrs. John Tyler. | It was a pleasure to see the child-; ren and grandchildren meet, the! mother at this annual reunion. A portion of the time was spent in devotional exercises. There, were some expressions made by j the mother to her children, and by the children to their mother that will he cherished, by thorn while' they live. After the service the table was spread in tho beautiful grove and it is useless to try to ti l! the varie ty of g-totl things that were pre pared and joyfully partaken of by all present. Then after an hour's rest the parting song was sung, led by \V. L. McCullough, son of the aged mother. At last all left for their homes hoping to have a reunion in the great beyond, where there will he no more separation, 0 On Sept. 22, the birthday of Sis ter J.M. Patterson, the same be ing too birthday of Bro. P. W. Al len, and as their custom had been for several years to meet at one or the other of their homes and eat a birth da v- dinner together, this be ing the time to meet at the home of Bro. Patterson, quite a number of their friends and relatives were present. We were providentially hindered Yrom being with them, but learn that they had a most enlovable oc casion. A portion of the time was spent in offering thanks to the Giv er of all good for His providential care through another year. Sept. 23 a large crowd of friends and relatives, reaching near the hundred murk, gutheiod at the home of Bro. A. S. McGurrity, in their family reunion, and to eat a birthday dinner with his compan ion. They live at the old homestead and it was a pleasure to see these children meet with their children and friends and enjoy the greet ings of each other. Around this home was a part of our tramping grounds when V hoy. Everything for this occasion had been put in fine shape. A table sixty feet long was built under rhe beautiful shade trees, and at the proper time the good sisters of t Ik* home and the many friends h gun to spread on the tablp the well prepared variety of good things to eat for this birthday dinner. Af ter dinner we repaired to the house and listened to some good songs led hv I. P. Rosser, T. J. Upchurch and brothers. Then began the offering of thanks for past blessings and ask ing that they be extended. One of the oldest relatives of this family was present, Uncle Al len Stuart. He made a very im pressive talk to these relatives, especially to the young people. There was great joy in many of the hearts of the kindred and friends. Then the snaking of hands and the good-byes came with the hope that this family i might have another reunion some lime where mav it be. J ' Get. Mrs. Jackson and myself j received a message inviting us to a 1 family reunion and birthday din | ner with Bro. Willie Tingle at his ! home near Philippi church. * We were there on time. The j children were all present except Mrs. Lilia Tingle, who was sick and could not come. It was a pleasure to these parents to have the children come to the old home arid bring the grand children, who numbered twenty-six, and they had a jolly time. Before we could begin to be im patient about eating another birth day dinner, we saw the lengthy table filled, and there not being room, had to add to its length to hold what had been prepared for this occasion. It goes without saying there was j plenty and to spare. In the after noon wo had some good songs led by Bro. H. W. Crnmbley. Then there was pleasure in offering of | thanks to the Lord for His bless-1 ing upon this family. May tfiev ■. ha ve a reunion one day where they shall never be separated from each other. The time had come for ns to leave for our.homo when to add to our pleasure, the father and moth er and all the children contributed of t heir means to us a sufficiency to buy one hundred pounds of flour $3 ; sugar $2 ; coftVu $2 ; i)|ce $1 ; three gallons syrup §1.50; live pounds cheese $1; and then §1.25 left that I may help others. A man would be in a had fix to get all that he can of this world's goods and keep all that he gets. Quite a number of my friends around Sharon church, and especi ally Mr. Hump Stroud, will under stand me when I say the old gray is doing well. Wlnle we have so munx pleas ures, let ns do the best we can in doing the most good we can. J. A. J ACKSON, Mr. W T .

Onr school has opened with 90 pupils in this first month. Work is well organized, with Miss Custellow as first assistant, and a very interesting and profit able year’s work iff forecasted. We urge all the patrons to help us with their full support and patron age soon as possible. It is certainly a great drawback to children to lose the first three months. All who have entered school should be as punctual as possible. All children who are absent one day lose two days. They lose the day after absence by gathering up their books, finding their lessons, and regaining attention. Next Friday week is visitors’ day and we earnestly invite al 1 patrons to be present and bring dinners and stay all day witn us. The building committee com posed of Messrs. Rogers, Hopkins, Raul, CrJiig and Culpepper, have put the material on the grounds for the residence on the school grounds. They will put up a neat four room cottage of modern pat tern. We do not believe that any citi zen in this community will shirk his duty and allow our zealous building committee to suffer any financial losses from their responsi ble position. It is our duty as soliciting com mittee to stand by them till every dollar of the obligation is denied up. O. W. Johnson.
