Sunday. May 10, 1931, Mrs. Aiora
Barro.i celebrated her 71 anniver
sary and the fact that it fell on
Mother's Day made it a very happy
day for the entire Barron family.
There were five of her children
present, 16 grandchildren and five
great grand children, also her only
living sister, Mrs. Sarah- Sutton, al
so a few near relatives and friends.
They assembled at the old home
for a joyful dinner and after greet
ings and best wishes iwere exchang
ed, they all came to grandmother's
church, the Wesleyanna Methodist
ehurch, where a beautiful program
.was rendered in celebration-of Moth
er's Day, followed by a well ^deliver
ed and a beautiful sentimental ser
| mon given by the pastor of the Bap
I tist church here, Rev. Jonathan
| Brown.
The entire day is one that "Aunt
A lora," as she is affectionately
known .will not forget. But may she
pass many more mile stones and may
each find her in as radiant health
and joyful mood as her 71 anniver
sary did.

We regret to learn of the death
of Min. J. H. Cathey of Sylva. Tn
her girlhood days she attended
school and also taught school at
Qualla. She was very studious and
unusually talented, so much so that
i her example was an inspiration to
her class mates. Tier, cheerful, a "re
able disposition made an impression
on her associates never to be for.
(gotten. She was also a successful
feacher. She was married at Qirallo
and made this her home for several
vears.
