Waxhaw, Route No. 2. October 8—These are busy days along Route 2. The farmers are working from early dawn to dewy eve these balmy fall days, harvesting hay and making up the molasses crop, which is unusually abundant.
Paul Flow, son of Mr. R.W. Flow, of the Stuart school section of the county, was rushed to the Fitzgerald Hospital in Monroe last Sunday for treatment. Surgeons found him suffering from an aggravated case of appendicitis, and proceeded at once to remove the appendix. Paul’s many friend will hear with sorrow of his illness but hope for him a speedy recovery.
Mrs. Carrie Harkey of the Walkerville community returned Sunday afternoon from the Presbyterian Hospital in Charlotte where she had been under treatment some two weeks following an operation. Mrs. Harksy’s children have been with their Aunt and grandfather during their mother’s sickness. [Last name was spelled Harkey and then Harksy in paper.]
The Rally Day program at Unity was postponed till the second Sunday morning. Rev. Q.N. Hunnicutt delivered an able sermon at Unity last Sunday afternoon on The Meaning of the Pentateuch. The Unity pastor preached in Brother Hunnicutt’s pulpit at the same hour.
Mr. Ervin Simpson has been elected by the session of Unity church to represent the congregation at the fall meeting of Presbytery which convenes at Crower’s Creek A.R. Presbyterian church near Clover, S.|C., October 16th. H.M. McCain is to be his substitute.
Mr. and Mrs. “Bud” Huey of Jackson Forest spent last Saturday in Lancaster visiting Miss Ella Huey, who has been sick for the past week with an attack of bilious fever. They report her condition much improved. [Bilious fever was a term used for fever with nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and jaundice. The most common cause was malaria, but if it included bloody stool it could indicate a bowel obstruction.]
Patrons on Route 2 were rejoiced last week to find that the wild rumor about the “sudden death of our efficient Carrier” was so “grossly exaggerated,” and that he still makes his daily, welcome visits to our doors with his mystery whistle, his glad Good Morning, and his characteristic smile as radiant as the morning sun. Uncle Sam has lots of good men in his service but we doubt he has one in his employ more efficient, courteous, obliging and beloved than Parley B. McNeeley.
Rev. S.J. Hood, pastor of Unity, will preach by special request of the colored people at Bethel Colored Presbyterian next Sunday at 3 p.m.
