I DO still have "Binning" relatives in Leon. My great aunt, daughter to my
great-grandmother---will be 103 this April!!! Don't know if these Binnings

> MR. BINNING was one of the pioneers of this community, and a man very
> widely known in this part of the county. He was a man of thrift and
> industry seeking to push ahead in the race of life, and in a very
> appreciable degree succeeded. This push so characteristic of the
> pioneer is a spirit to be commended. There is too much of the opposite

> is the race's greatest blessing and it piles up the nation's assets.
> Industry and far-sightedness, the looking ahead spirit is sending this
> race forward with great rapidity.

> Young men could do well to adopt the push and go ahead policy, unless
> you do, the procession of life will pass or run over you. No one can
> stand still in this age.
>
> Funeral services were conducted from the Methodist Church by Rev. Hawk,
> Sunday, August 2, and interment was made in the Funktown Cemetery.
