Had Clayton lived until the 17th of October, he Would have b^n 28 years old. fiow sad it is to see one so young, just in the prime of manhood,, snatched away, when it seems he was so much needed! We cannot un- dersttmd this dispensation, but we dOc know that *'all things work together for good to them tlmt lo^ Qic^’l. wnd rimt, too^ " dm the Ord loveth He chas- eneth.** With these thoughts we would try to comfort the sorely bereaved loved ones, and com mend them to God Who doeth all things well. Clayton, as he was affection ately known, was a StewartI in Centenary M. E church, Super intendent of the Sabbath school, also church treasurer. He was a member, too, of Antioch school board, and one of the best farm ers and business men in this section. Seldom do we see one so young elected to so many re sponsible offices and fill each so efficiently.,He was all that could be said of a near perfect man ' When his neighbors or friends were in trouble. Clayton was one of the first to come and always stayed until roUef came. He lived a true, consecrated Christ-like life and truly we be lieve be has gone to receive the reward of the blest, the right eons who die in Christ. His funeral was conducted from the home, the interment being in Antioch cemetery. Tiie large crowd attending these ser vices attest to the number of his friends. Each servant he has ev er hid c^e back to pay a last tribute of respect to one whom they loved, one who had always played the game fair with them. The floral offering was one of the most beautiful we have ever seen Va Ted upon a mound undar- neath whi^ rests the form of onei^l'hom we all loved and whose / memory we cherish. “Sleep on ;be}eved, and take thy rest; , Lay down thy head upon ^thy Saviodr’e breast; We love thM well, but Jesus loves thee best— Gjpod night! Cilm is thy clumbers, as ^infant sleeps, ' But thoii Shalt wake no more ^ to toll and weep; nilne Is a perfect rest, secure and deep— Good night! Until the shadows from this , earth are cast; Until He gathers ip His sheaves at last;' Until the twilight gloom be over past— Good night! Only “good nignt,” beloved, not “Farewell,” A little while and all His saints shall dw^l In ha'lowed union indivisible. Good night! Until we meet again befo;re His throne, Clothed in the spotless robe He gives His own. Until we know as we are known. Good nignt!” ' The BToaroe Reunion.

The Clan McKenzie, the de, scendaiits of one man, Murdoch McKenzie, the grandfather of the present older generation of McKenzies, are a great deal more numerous than we had any idea of. for there were one hundred registered at this reun ion. besides a number of invited friends, and they had a sumptu* OUB picnic dinner. These good citizens ore for the most part numbered witb the pop ulation of Hoke Couniy, and are among The Journal’s best friends and we wish for them all long life and prosperity. The descendants pi the late John Calvin Currie have boen bolding a family reunion al the Pike for several years, and thev met this year on Aug. 14tb, and The Journal expected a.report of this reunion last week, but we failed to get it.
