of Rev. J. S. Jordan, of Phoenix,

Mrs. Goldsmith was a young wo-
of rare quail ties of intellect
and soul, and by her amiable, af-
sectionate disposition, made many
friends wherever she lived, She
attended school in Greenvllle,
where she was very popular. We
extend sincere sympathy to the
bereaved husband and to Bro. Jor-

family.
One day last week George Norris
was given note by Col mel Jim
fillman to be carried to his house
IN town for his horse and buggy.
Through some misunderstanding
George carried the note to Senator
Ben Tillman, at Trenton, seven
miles distant. George walked all
the way and when he reached the
Senator's house he delivered the
note feeling sure that he would
have nice ride back to Edgefeld,
and when he found out his mis-
take the air was made sulphurous
with his bad talk, and hitting the
cross ties he kept it up all the way
back to Edge6eld.
