Anderson, Jan. 3—Although the father of 14 children, June M. Sweeney, Anderson county farmer, has undertaken to provide for eight more. Not long ago the mother of five children died, leaving only an invalid father to take care of them, when Mr. Sweeney came to the rescue and took the children to care for and adopt as his own. He had already his daughter-in-law and her child. This makes a family of an even two dozen, but this does not phase Mr. Sweeney at all. He says he believes that the Lord will provide—that is, give him strength and health, as that is all he needs to make them comfortable.
