The Trenton-Horns Creek Com
munity VIII Henceforth be
[Called Glendale"

In my communication of last
week, speaking of the. growth of
this community, l had reached the
point where I was ready next to tell
about our school affairs. The scat
tered population, and a lack Of
unanimity among the patrons, has
for years made it almost impossi-
BILE to have a school in this commu-
nifty. Some winters there would be
no school, and others, five or six
pupils would go for three or four
months, the daily attendance finally
dwindling to two pupils. In the
absence Of a regular school, the
Trustees divided the money for this
end of the School District as fairly
as they could between the patrons
who sent their children to other
schools.
In 1905, however, the Board of
Trustees met, and fixed on a def
mite plan for maintaining a perma-
nent school in our midst. The
school house was moved to more
suitable point, and a small school
collected, of which Miss Magaret
Smith became the efficient teacher,
both for that year, and the year fol-
lowing. The next winter, some of
the patrons moving away, our
school hibernated again. Then,
in 1905, more population COM
ing in, new interest revived in the
school, and it became active again
with Mrs. w. J.. Gaines in charge.
During that year there were ten
pupils enrolled. This past year,
Mrs. Gaines was again our teacher,
with a schoolroll of fifteen names.
Still other children have come with
in reach since the last school open
ed, so that by next winter it is
probabledhere will be twenty pu-
pills. If now we can get a new
school house, more centrally loca-
ted, u school bids fair to become
a good and permanent organization,
Our seat of learning is called the
Glendale School so this might be
called the Glendale community.
AS news items, / would state that
our young neighhor, Mr.. Herbert
Boyce Satcher, who is taking a
course of study at Nashotah, Wis
consin, has not returned this sum-
mer to his native glen, but has a de
lightful position at Waldheim PARK,
on Lake Oconomowoc, Wisconsin,
where he is enjoying the facilities
for health, profit, and pleasure.
Nh. Joseph A. Gaines has COM
pleted his work for the Census Blu
reau, in the eastern part of the

captain o. i. Brisyht.

Editor The Advertiser: Capt. O.
81. Brightyha been the conductor on
the Edgefeld-Aiken train for "a
number of years; and, as such, he
has given universal satisfaction to
the patrons of the Southern Rail
way. The people here hoped that ne
had become a fixture. He liked his
run and not long since purchased a
nice home near the station and set
tied down as one of US. Report says
that under a rule adopted by the
conductors themselves that another
man is claiming his run and will
GUST him unless the people can help
him retain the run. 1t seems that
one conductor who has seniority
over another in the matter of SER
vice can claim the run of his junior
and get it. The railroad company
has nothing to do with that ar,
rangement. Under that rule another
man is claiming Capt. Bright's run
and under that rule, he can get it.
The people of Edgefeid are very
much exercised over the matter and
desire that Capt. Bright should. hold
his position without in any form
having any thing against the con-
ductor who is likely to. succeed him.
They just simply desire to retain
Capt. Bright because he has made a
good, accommodating and polite
conductor, has purchased property
here and has become a citizen of the
town and is closely identified with
society and tie best interests of the
town. 1t is hoped that yet his senior
will allow him to remain and claim
his rights.

DR.. Gwaltney's Life One Of
Edgefield's Greatest Bless
'ings.

Dr. L. r. Gwaltney was spared to
bless the world for eighty years,
lacking only a few months, and one
fourth of his long life was spent in
Edgetield, the dearest spot on earth
to him. The first ten years of his
labors in Edgefield, from 1858 to
1868, was in the prime of
active, vigorous young manhood,
and the other stay of ten years, a
second blessing bestowed upon
Edgetield by a beneticent Providence,
was in the evening of his life, our
C ommunity reaping the benefit of
his mature years and large expert
ence.
The Edgefeld of to-day, con-
trasted with the Edgefeld of fifty
years ago, as pictured by some Of
the Oldest inhabitants, evidences a
very marvellous transformation, and
that the sanity Luther Rice Gwalt-
ney was the leading factor, both di-
rectly and Indirectly, in bringing
about this wonderful improvement
of conditions can not be questioned.
He left his impress upon two dis
tinct generations. Afterte years of
S eed sowing in Edgefeld he was
transferred to other fields of SER
vice, remaining away t~hirty-odd
years. When he. again came to us
another generation had come upon
the scene and their lives were quick
ened, their ideals raised by his God
ly walk and conversation.
1t is not the writer's purpose to
indulge in a lengthy eulogy of the
beloved DR.. Gwaltney, for to do so
would be like gliding refined gold,
or painting the lily" His life spoke,
yea, speaks now, for itself. Though
he is with the saints in glory, he
shall still live here in Edgefield. To
generations that shall follow DR..
Gwaltney will be held up as a para
gon of right living, an embodiment
Of Christian virtues and graces of
character.
Just as he was universally below
ed so shall his memory be universal
ly cherished and revered in Edge
field. The high and low, the rich
and the poor, the white AID the
colored, were all his friends and he
was theirs. Like the Master, whose
life he exemplitied, DR.. Gwaltney's
accustomed beneticent smile was
just as true and sincere when be-
/ slowed upon the poor and unfortu-
nate when he greeted the high
and mighty. The one secret of his
greatness was his goodness.
Edgefeld wilhgemember him as a
teacher as we'll as pastor. Many boys
and girls, now men and women, in
Edgetield were inspired with new
visions while they sat at his feet in
the day or secular school. In that
sphere of usefulness his aim was
not alone to develop the. minds but
to shape the characters and lives Of
those who were committed to him.
We thank God for the beautiful
life of DR.. Gwaltney, and especially
are we profoundly grateful for the
portion that blessed this commune
ty.

it is indeed an inspiring sight The
stalks are large, tall, stately, and
seem to defy the winds. Many
stalks have two large, well develop
ed ears and some have as many as
three. The one thing that impressed
us most about this beautiful riy-

heavy ears. Such ears as Mr.. Cobb's
fills a crib rapidly, and they are the
kind that fatten a horse Quickest.
