Mrs. Howard Dead
Mrs. E.V. Howard
was born August 16, 1853, and died June 4, 1926, being 72 years, 9 months, and
18 days old. She was married to Mr. J.T. Splawn February 14, 1871. To this
union were born two children, Mrs. Delia Miller of Shelby, N.C., and Miss
Christine Splawn, who died at the age of seven years. Mr. Splawn also died
years before his widow, about the year 1892. She was married a second time to
Mr. A.L. Hoard, who preceded her to the grave some time ago.
She had been sick
for six or eight weeks, and died on the home of her brother, Rev. T.M. Hester
in Spindale, N.C., with whom she made her home.
She joined the
Baptist Church in early life, being a charter member of Green’s River Baptist
Church, and was a faithful and devoted Christian.
Mrs. Howard was a
daughter of the late J.M. and S.J. Hester. Two brothers and two sisters survive
her: Messrs J.P. and T.M. Hester, and Mesdames M.J. Owens of Columbus, N.C.,
and M.I. Harris of Chesnee, S.C.
Funeral services at
Green’s Creek Baptist Church, Polk County, were conducted Sunday afternoon by

friend attended, giving testimony of their love and regard in many floral
tributes, which were tastefully arranged by Mr. Z. Backuele of Chesnee, the
undertaker who had charge of the remains.
Fishtop
We are very dry
here. Gardens are suffering badly, as almost all are on upland. However, there
is plenty of beans, beets, some cabbage and potatoes for home use and some to
spare.
Early peaches are
coming in, though small on account of the dry weather. They are well flavored.
Cotton is doing
fine; a very good stand and clean.
Bees are gathering
and storing a lot of fine honey.
Fishers are
plentiful, but the fish of usable size are scarce.
Two more rattlers
killed since last report.
E.J. Fisher and
wife of St. Petersburg, Fla., are visiting the latter’s home folks and
neighbors for a few days.
Preaching here
today by the pastor, G. Russell of Saluda.
Many of the small
streams have dried up. Gad’s Creek is lower now than it was last year.
Fire was set on
Miss Beulah Bradley’s place recently, destroying some valuable timber. This
makes the fifth time fire has been set on her land this season.
