Poor Girls.

The poorest girls in the world are
those not taught to work. There are
thousands Of them. Rich parents
have petted them, and they have
been taught to despise labor and to
depend upon others for a living, and
are perfectly helpless. The most
forlorn women belong to this class.
1t is the duty of parents to project
their daughters from this deplor-
able condition. They do them
great wrong if they neg
lect it. Every daughter should be
taught to earn her own living. The
rich as well as the poor require this
training. The wheel of fortune rolls
swiftly around; the rich are likely to
become poor, and the poor rich.
Skill added to labor is no ,disadvan-
tage to the rich, and is indispensa-
BILE to the poor. Well to do par
ents must educate their daughters
to work. No reform is more imper-
ative than this.-Leesville News.

Memorial Day Very. Beautifully
Observedin Edgefield.

Nowhere in South Carolina was
Memorial Day more fttingly OF
more beautifully observed than in
Edgefeld Monday afternoon. The
exercises, in fact every detail of the
occasion, had been carefully and
wisely planned by the Daughters of
the Confederacy. The procession,
composed of the s. G. G. /. cadets,
Edgefeld Rifles, Veterans, Daugh-
tiers of the Confederaey, and school
children bearing flowers, formed at
the court house and marched to the
opera house, where the Hon. Rich
ard /. Manning,of Sumter,the orator
of the day, held the closest atten-
ton of the very large assemblage
for nearly an hour. His carefully
prepared and very able address, pa
triotic and inspiring throughout,was
very favorably received.
The exercises were opened with
prayer by Rev. Royal Shannon
house and the program was inter-
spersed with patriotic airs and
songs by the band and chorus of
young ladies. The vocal solo by
Miss Tisdale was beautifully rem
dered. After about twenty crosses
of honor were presented By Mr.. N.
L. Brunson, assisted by a trio of
little girls, the piece de resistance
of the program. a recitation by
Miss Annie Clisby, followed. Her
selection, The Gid Coufed,'' was
peculiarly apropos and faultlessly
rendered. Miss Clisby added to the
enviable reputation already made in
Edgefeld. Mr.. j. NJ. Cobb acted as
marshal of the day and Mayor John
r. Tompkins presided over the ex-
ercises in the opera house.
From the opera house the march
was resumed. After decorating the
monument on the square, and an APP
propriate salute by the soldier
boys" the graves in the Catholic
cemetery were next decorated. Then
the entire throng placed beautiful
flowers and wreaths upon the graves
of the Confederate dead in the vii
lage cemetery.
At the conclusion the veterans
were invited by the Daughters to
partake Of refreshments on the Ad-
olson lawn. About a. score were
seated at large table, where they in
dulged in exchange of wartime ex-
perience as they enjoyed the
nice things that were prepared by
the patriotic Edgefeld, women who
are no less loyal to the traditions of
the South than were their mothers
and grandmothers.

This faithful creature always laid

Then the farmer greatly pleased,
put in the nest a whitewashed foot
