j This Mammoth Company Nov
ing Forward, Easter Exerci-
ses at Parksville, Mr.. =
Burckhalter Hurt.
Yesterday was observed by ou
Sunday school with Easter exercises
i After the regular Sunday schooFles
|son nice program, consisting o
|.recitations and songs, commemorat
ling the risen Lord, was rendered by
the children of the community
Prof. Long, Misses Martha Dorm
Belle Sanders, Mr.. J. G. Morgan ant
Judge Blackwell as the committet
of arrangements, deserved and re
lceived the thanks of the School by
a rising vote. The children were il
/ Easter attire, the women with Eas
ter bonnets on,and all together made
an attractive spectacle, but best Of
and above all the glories of the ris
en- Lord were portrayed, and solemn
lily portrayed, by song and speech
The quartette consisting of Prof
Long, Mrs. J. J. Gilmer, Miss Mar
tha Dorm and d. A. J. Bell rendered
entertaining music, which was quite
well received and commented upon.
The big Twin City Power Compa.
ny is beginning to show signs of
vigorous activity. Mr.. Porter of
the G. & W. G. railroad has laid off
the spur track from Modoc to the
river. Cross ties for the same are
being rapidly gotten out and other
plans are maturing. To give an
idea of the. immensity Of the enter
prise I am told that it will take two
years to complete the big dam, with
four hundred to eight hundred hands
per day, and that the machinery
to be used in its construction is val
ued at $4,000. The entire cost of
60 foot dam is estimated with
transmission lines at s3,000,e0O.
If this estimate and figures are
true, one can see that an enterprise of
large dimensions is in progress in
Western Edgefeld, possibly larger
than most persons had conceived.
Mr.. L. F. Dorm, the man on the
spot" is busy with surveyors, cross
! tie getters etc., and the atmosphere
lis laden with hustle in the. neigh
borhood Of the Twin City Power
works. II. 4
II am sorry to state that onI large
hearted land esteemed friend Mr..
Cook Burckhalter got a serious hurt
by a fall upon some timber Saturday
evening. One eye is said to be bad
ly hurt but we hope the sight is not
permanently injured.
A sad death took place at Modoc
Sunday morning, in the person of
Mrs. Carrie Boswell, formerly Miss
Carrie Bussey, a daughter of Mr..
Vess Bussey and a granddaughter
of DR.. Thos. E. Jennings. Miss
Carrie will be remembered by the
people of Edgefeld as student at
S. G. G. l., but now in her young
womanhood has gone to her eternal
reward. Our deepestsympathy goes
out to the husband and bereaved rel
atives.
I..r. Jim Turner, of Blythe, Ca,
but an old Edgefeld man, formerly
of the Old-Wells- -Curryton commu-
nifty, spent several days IN Parksville
last week for repairs. MIR. Turner
has gone to Georgia and gotten rich,
has nice home, has raised thirteen
children and is beyond doubt one
of the best farmers in Richmond or
Burke. He and old DIR. Josh Beall
form a part of Edgefeld's contribu-
ton to the wealth of the Empire
State of the South.
DIR. James A. Dobey and wife
worshipped with us yesterday at the
Baptist church. Mrs. Dobey will
spend some time at the home of her
parents. 1t was mean in Jim to take
her away, and we are glad to- have
her back, if for only few days.
The exercises of the B. Y. p. u.
were turned over to Rev. L. b.
White last night who gave an &C
count of the State Convention last
week in Florence. By the way MIR.
White was the only representative
from the Western part of the state,
except the Baptist pastor at Green
wood, therefore we feel especially
proud that our pastor, who is always
to the front in every good and noble
work which has for its end and aim
the furtherance OF the principles of
the Gospel of peace on earth and
good will to men.
Mrs. d. M. Caldwell, of Columbia
is visiting her sister, Mrs. L. b.
White. More Anon.
