Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1911-07-05

a sermon full of power and hope.
We hope you can get him to tell
something of his trip to the readers
of The Advertiser.
We observed in the audience at
the Baptist church yesterday an old
friend of other days in the person
of Mrs. Lizzie Dyke. Mrs. Dyke
was before marriage Miss Lizzie
Cheatham, and is here on visit to
her son-in-law Mr.. Jim Coleman
and her grand children.
MI. J. H. Parks and wife accom-
panied by Miss Sallie picnicked last
Thursday at Woodlawn. 1t is not
secret. though 1 possibly ought
not to tell it, a young man told me,
that Miss Sallie was the belle of the
occasion.
Mrs. Virginia Stone, Mrs. M. J.
Bell with little Mary and Martha
spent pleasant day Wednesday
with Mrs. J. Fl. Stone of Rehoboth.
Mr.. r. M. Hit was happily mar
ried last Thursday to Miss Weino-
ma Strom, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. G. Strom. They took the train
at Parksville for Asheville and other
points of interest, after which they
will be at home to their friends at
Aiken. Mr.. Hit is editor of the
Aiken Sentinel, and Edgefeld's
love goes to Aiken on account OF
this new relation, We trust that
Mr. and Mrs. Hit will come iback
often to the old mother Edgefeld.
Mr.. John Quarles and wife of
Red Hill, spent some time Thurs
day with relatives here. They also
ran up to Mccormick to see Mrs.
Quarles' brother, Mr.. Samson Strom,
who has been sick so long with
rheumatism.
Mrs. NJ. Wales has sold her
home to Mr.. D. N. Dorm. We do
SO much hope that Mrs. Wales can be
induced to remain among us. She is
a fine music teacher, refined, cultur-
ed and iwithal an ornament to any
community.
Mr.. Robert Blackwell, an old
Edgefeld boy, now of Spartanburg,
has been down on visit to his
mother, Mrs. Hattie Ridlehoover,
and other relatives. His little sister,
Miss Mary Blackwell, returned with
him for a short stay.
Mr.. Sammie Doolittle was car
ried last Friday by his physician to
the Margaret Wright hospital where
he was successfully operated on for
appendicitis. Mr.. Doolittle who was
extremely ill, was accompanied by
his physician, and Messrs. Will
and Geo. Sharpton. He stood the
operation well, and was doing nice
ly when last heard from. We pray
for his speedy recovery and return
to his bride of only two weeks, as
well as a doting mother and other
fond relatives.
Miss Rosa Minor with Mrs. Vir
ginia Stone and Mr.. Cleveland
Stone made a flying trip to McCor-
mick in Mrs. Stones new auto a
few days ago.
DR.. w. G.. Blackwell had the
misfortune to break his new car a
few days ago. Although it had to
be taken to the shop it returned
thoroughly mended yesterday.
An election will be held here on
July 18th to determine whether
Parksville will have a high school.
Of course she will. Mr.. A. c. West
of Prosperity has been elected prin-
cipal, and the people are determin-
ed to restore the glory of other
days. We always had a good school
here, in fact all our children, that
have gone to college were prepared
here, but in the last few years we
have been a little derelict, but in
the future watch our school.
When Mr.. T. Garrett went into
the pulpit yesterday, to his surprise
as well as most of the audience, he
found handsome new Bible with
the inscription Parksville Baptist
church from friends. He very cor
daily thanked the unknown friends
who had slipped in the church and
placed the Bible without giving
their names.
Mr.. Hamp Parks of Plum Branch,
friends and relatives in Parks
vile yesterday.
Mr. Ed Reynolds and mother
from Rehoboth visited Sunday at
the home of Mr.. Tom Barrett.
