Death of Miss Ella Samuel

Another newly made, flower
covered grave can be seen in oul
village cemetery. On Thursday
the 4th of May, Miss Ella Samuel
died at her home in south Edge
field, and on Friday morning the
funeral service was conducted in
the Methodist church by Rev.
Marvin Auld.
This greatly beloved young wo-
man was born and reared near
Hephzibah, Ga, where she passed
the major portion of her life,
having come to Edgefie1d about
FIVE years ago. By reason Of this
Christian yoang woman having
lived among US the community
has been made better-the many
lives with which she daily came
in contact were ennohled and
made brighter. Always gentle,
amiable, kid, thoughtful, sweet
tempered-little wonder then
that the death of Miss Samuel
brought tears to so many eyes and
sorrow to so many hearts. When
apprised of the seriousness of her
condition, she declared her will
ingness and readiness to face
death. The deceased was mem.
ber-an active meuber-of the
Methodist church. The deepest
sympathy is extended to the
heart-broken sister, devoted broth
er and nephew in this hour OF
sore affection.

In the college auditorium, e.
ginning this evening at $3.50
o'clock, the graded school COM
mencement will be held. The past
successes and achievements of the
little folks in their commence

pie to expect great things this
evening, and not one who attends
will be disappointed The lady
teachers, Misses Nickles, Newsom
and Dicks, all of whom are very
talented, have given much thought
and time1to arranging the pro-
gramme and preparing the child
ron. Each number on the pro-
gramme will be as greatly en-.
ioyed as if each were the climax.
So natural, SO unassuming, so un.
affected are these little folks Oh
the stage that great crowds flock
to see them. Better purchase re-
served seats or go early in order
TO get . good seat The price of
admission will be IS cents for re-
served seats aud 25 cents for gen.
eral admission. The proceeds will
be applied 20 the amount that is
owed for repaiuting and repairing

worthy cause.

The County Summer School

The County Summer School for
teachers which will be conducted
for one month, beginning June
the 18th and endir 6 July the l0thp
viii he the best that Edge6eld has
ever had. Aud let us hope that il
will BE more largely atauded than
any ithat has been previously
held. County superintendent OF
Education Byrd has been very
fortunate in securing Col. f. N.
K. Bailey and Prof. J. P. Bean to
conduct this school for teachers.
Col. Bailey haesvery kindly con-
sented for the college building to
be used for the school. All of the
teachers can board there for less
than it would cost them to board
IN private families. Let every
teacher in the county arrange to
attend the summer school during
the entire month. We shall have
more to say of it in q subsequent
issue.

A Thoroughly Enjoyed Picnic.

Instead of assembling in the
class looms on Friday last and
poring over books as was their
daily wont, the pupils Of 'he gra-
ded school and the students of the
coll ge were given holiday, and
,all-from the little tots of the
first grade to the digni6ed seniors.
who have almost within their
grasp the lol.g coveted "sheep-
skins"-enjoyed the picnic upon
the campus. which had been pro-
vlded by President Bailey. For
one day-and there are but few.
such days in The life of student
all restrictions were removed, the
only requirement being that they
deport themselves as young ladies
and young gentlemen should. Aud
tits needless to add that this was
doue.
Everything and everybody en-
tered heartily into the spirit OF
the occasion. The nearby brook.
babbled-the birds over head car
olled-tha little innocents sang.
sweetly as they pranced and dan
ced upon the green grass-the old
er students e-a-teted and prone
naded-the faculty, some hand
some and others beautiful, with
Iove-lit faces sat to-day at Cupid's
feet instead Of having others sit
at their feet--Col. and Mrs. Bailey
were never happier for they were
making hundreds of others happy.
At the dinLe hour all were il.
vited down to the densely shaded
portion of the campus where upon
long tables a picnic dinner, in
great abundance and variety, had
been spread. The graded school
and day students carried baskets
which, added to what Col. Bailey
had provided, made enough to
feed the combined japanese and
Russian armies. Col. Bailey, who
is ever thoughtful aud large-heart-
ed, provided ten gallons of de-
lightful ice cream which he served
after dinner to the graded school
pupils.
Just as wise and thoughtful
parents are always endeavoriug to
make the home and home life
attractive, so does President Bal
ley constantly strive to dispel the
non)tony of school duties and
school life. Hu strives always to
keep his students thoroughly in
love with their work. In order to
do this he provides at regular in
tervals pleasant diversions and
amusements for the children and
young people. Nothing else could
have accomplished this end half
so well as did the ideally con-
Quoted picnic of Friday last.
There is but one r. N. K. Bal
ley, and long may he live! This
is not only the wish of the Ad-
vertlser but Of all Edgefeld.
