happy home in Edgefeld. Its
necessitous existence grows
upon US, for the people of the
town and county have had un-

and mental, the wonder-work-

oughness of work and high
ideals in attainment.
The standard of intellectual
lite in our town has been per-
ceptibly elevated and the in,
spiration to more ardent and
jealous search for knowledge
greatly increased by this pres
ence abiding in our midst. The
influence of the high moral
tone and Christian upright

the personality of the faculty,
and a number of the students
have been of incalculable ben
