"Twenty.Fiye Added to the Lord"
SISTER SPRINGS CHURCH, August H.
To-day we close one OF the most precious
meetings that the Sister Springs Church
has enjoyed Tor years. The church is
greatly revived, Old difficulties melted
away. Twenty-Five added to the Lord,
and still there's more to follow. Spirit
ually and substantially the church is
strengthened. Bro. G. W. Bussey has
been with me and done most Of the
preaching, faithfully, earnestly, plainly
unfolding the way OF salvation. May the
Lord continue TO bless him as here.

Work the Roads.
Good roads are Of the utmost import
ance TO every people; besides, they are
strong indication Of the civilization of
people We hope the several supervisors
in the county will see to it that the roads
in Edgeiield are substantially repaired and
put in good and durable condition before
the wei weather months set in If this
matter receives proper attention now and
during tha month OF September, wa think
the people will have no cauaa 10 complain.
Sweet Potatoes.
This valuable crop has recelvett.the al
tentlon in Edgetield this season, which lis
Importance demands. The AREA planted
il larger than usual and the crop is re-
markably promising. 1t is suggested that
some of our people secure evaporators and
experiment with sweet potatoes sliced,
and evaporated, Just as apples, peaches
ETC., are. Mrs. J. W. Bryan, Dillon, Ga,
exhibited some lest year that were OF
superior quality. This method Of saving
them solves the difficulty, 50 often orlni-
dable, OF the potatoes rotllng in thr hank
during fall and winter
Grief-stricken and inronsolabie!
But is ha never coming hack, my deair.
We fear not oh We fear moi The horrld
cars will run off OF the track and kill him
or the yellow fever will finish him up,

: W. 10, we do How desply you can new
er know To he severed from him lor II
day even is pain almost equal to death
He was good for two hox-a Of candy II
week. 10 say nothing OF buggy rides, pi-
azza sitting and hand-holding And
turning away 10 hide q storm Of sobs
The girls again gathered at The door OF The
ADvERrIsn9 office and read that Alvin
Hart had gone to New York 10 hny fall
