On a page of the Fayette Chronicle I copied for my ancestor's obituary were these tidbits. I thought someone might see a relative's name. Annette The Fayette Chronicle Friday, July 17, 1908 Mr. & Mrs. J. E. Briggs were in Rodney Monday and Tuesday. Messrs. W. E. Faloon and Robt. Oakman were in town Wednesday. Mrs. R. T. Liddell and Miss Carrie Campbell are visiting relatives at Utica. Mr. A. J. Sanders of Red Lick was in town Monday and called at our office. Mr. T. R. Shields of Church Hill was here at the farmer’s institute Wednesday. Miss Jennie Darden of Birmingham, Ala. is visiting Mr. and Mrs. N. A. Killingsworth. Miss Mabel Levy of New Orleans is the attractive guest of her aunt, Mrs. B. Straas. Rev. E. M. Stewart and wife left Tuesday morning for a visit to relatives at Crystal Springs. Little Miss Cecile Fleming of Natchez is the charming guest of Miss Lora Maye Schober. Misses Hannabel and Hazel Harper left Tuesday morning for a visit to relatives in Fort Worth, Texas. Mr. H. R. Ihrie of Vicksburg was here Monday on his way to look after his property interests in this county. Mr. D. R. Fulton, one of the progressive farmers from near Harriston, attended the farmer’s institure here Wednesday. Mr. Lee Pritchard and little son, Horace, of Union Church, were agreeable callers at our office while in Fayette yesterday. Rev. E. M.

Mr. Stewart has decided to accept work at LaFayette, La., and to that end will give up his work here.

Both are Baptist ministers, and we understand that an organization of that denomination will be effected here. The public is invited to attend all these services.
