DEAR HERALD AND News: Five
weeks to day since we bade good-by
70 bone and friends and turned onr
face to Trenton, S. C. Anal tonight
while the moonlight is glorifyiny
the church spires and picturesque
cottages which beautify this little
village, we snatch moment from out
our busy life to write you. We are
pleasantly located at the Trenton
House over whose destiny presiles
Capt. r. II. Clark and his amiab!e
wife, and most noble Of host and
hostess do they make. Their thought.
fuI consideration for the comfort and
convenience of their g"ests insu: L
them u fnll house, all who Come once,
will come again. The highest en-
conium we Can pay is to say that it's
homelike comfort and pleasant So
ciety reminds US of Glenn springs -
Glenns you know is with us a syn
onym for all that is charming and
beautiful,
An earthly paradise to which we,
In shadow darkened days so love to turn.
A golden altar will il ever be
Where memory's subtle incense burIs.
We like Trenton passing we'll, and
its pleasant people more than words
can tell. Their hospitality is un.
bounded and they delight in paying
the thousand and one little atten-
tions which gladden. the stran-
gers heart. The country with
it's vast stretches Of level land, dense
forest of stately pines, magnificent
ponds Of water, cleaning like sheets
of silver in The autumnal sunsets,
broken here and there by graceful
diving ducks and creamy lilies all are
to our novice eyss wondrously beau
tiful. We are teaching here and
have met with a measure Of success.
School is composed OF good material,
and who knows but we have in train
ing the dormant genius ola Calhoun,
or Clay. We sre busy in the school
room from 9 a. M, until 4 and then
in the music room until 7. So you
see
I'm the ranks Of ltfc's great army
There is work for me to do"
But the polite attention, voluntary
obedience and dilligent application
Of our students, cheer US in the
work.
Three weeks have elapsed since
writing the above, and in the interim
Edgefeld has been visited with q
most disastrous fire. While We sym.
pathize most deeply with their heavy
losses, We are lost in admiration Of
their undaunted courage as we watch
them going forward meeting and
overstepping obstacles with that
fearless bravery which is character.
