All right-thinkiLg Americans
tondemn rioting in this country
but what would you do were you a
Russian peasant !? Doubtless you
would be a leader in throwing
bombs and manipulating internal
machines.
Mrs. Kate Black and Miss Lee
Morrall, both of whom ara greatly
beloved in Edgefeld, have been
spending several days in our town,
the former being a guest of Mrs.
Mary J. Norris and the latter With
Mrs. S. NJ. Rice.
It affords us great pleasure to
chronicle the arrival in Edgefeld
of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. B. Harris
and Mrs. Ann Eliza Harris, Of
Henderson, N. c., the father,
mother and grandmother of Mrs.
7 hn R. Tompklns, who are to be
guests of the latter for several
weeks. With doting grand parents
in the home, whose absence has
doubtless accentuated their affec-
tion, don't you know that bright
little George Harris Tompkins
will WELD the sceptre over the
entire household with o despotic
hand, being even more arbitrary
than the Gear of all the Russias.
When Rev. C. E. Burts returns

on extra duty. Rev. T. P. Burgess,

Marvin Auld, the Methodist pas

cation of one month. The former
will spend a portion of the time
on Sullivan's Island and the lat
ter will take his annual trip to
the mountains. So Mr.. Burts will
be lone sentinel on the tower,
keeping watch over the entire
community. He will have his
han Is full, especially for newly
married man.
An Atchison girl of fifteen gets
up in the morning, eats breakfast
which her mother has prepared,
goes ups ;airs and takes care of
her room and then goes down
town, sometimes taking two hours,
to buy spool of thread. She eats
dinner which her mother has pre-
pared, wears clothes her mother
has made, spends the afternoon
reading story books or gaddlng
With her friends, eats supper her
mother has prepared, spends the
evening with her girl friends. She
has done nothing wicked all day,
and her mother is satisfied that
she is bringing her up right. But
is she?-Atchison Globe.
"Uncle" Nick Brunson, when
not detained by an extra session
of his court, makes regular tri-
weekly visits to his splendid farm
on Horns creek 10 see what the
pigs aud negroes and mules and
cotton and corn and grass are
doirg. What delights him most
is to pull off his hat, coat, vest,
collar and cravat, then sit out
under spreading oak and watch
his corn grow. He says be can
actually see it "stretch-up" when
it rops. You know he requires
"the truth, the whole trut,, and
nothing but the truth" from others,
50 what he says pever falls short
Of nor goes ''leetle de- rise Of" the
ruth.
The announcement that Mr.. R.
A. Bdllowe had resigned his posi-
lion as president of The Edge6eld
Manufacturing Company has been
a great surprise to the entire COM
munity. This action we are IN
formed, is not due to any scism or
misunderstanding existing be-
tween him and the directors, for
NJ. Ballowe is held in high favo--
and esteem by all directors~~and
stockholders. His successor has
not yet been chosen but it is very
probable that Mr.. Charles Il.
Fisher wall be elected. Mr.. Rob-
erts will doubtless return to Eu-
faula with Mr.. Ballowe.
Clergyman-Are you satisfied,
madam, 10 take this man as your
husband?
Bride-to-be-Well, not quite.
but he's the best I could GET
