Glendale News.

One of the most brilliant and en-
joyable social events that this COM
munity has witnessed for many
years was on the 7th inst, when
Mr.. and Mrs. B. J. Day celebrated
the twentieth anive rsary of their
marriage. "a large crowd of the
representative families from Tren-
ton, Horns Creek, and even some
from Edgefeld were present to of
fer their congratulations and good
wishes to this happy couple. The
latter, standing under beautiful
floral arch, looked almost as if time
had turned backward in his flight,
and they stood again, radiant with
youth and hope at the portal of a
happy welded life. They could
have looked little handsomer, and
certainly no happier on that memo
rable day, score of years ago.
From this floral bower the guests
were conducted to the generous
punch bowl, over which Miss Eu-
genia Robinson, from Abbeville,
gracefully presided, assisted by Miss
Edith Miller. the fair daughter of
Mr.. James Miller of Trenton. This
refreshing beverage was followed
by delicious salad course, and this
in turn by cake and coffee. While
talking with friends, and enjoying
this repast, one had time to note
the beautiful decoration of the
rooms. Wreaths. and festoons of
greenery were intermingled with a
profusion of sweet scented narcissi.
and white Roman hyacinths. From
every available point, tapers, like a
hundred stars, shed their soft light
over the beautiful scene. Strains
of sweetest music added to the al
ready overfowing cup of enjoyment,
as Mrs. w. D.. Holland, one of
Trenton's accomplished vocalists,
favored the audience with one after
another of her charming songs.
The next entertainment was to
inspect the array of beautiful girls.
Every friend was represented by
something dainty and appropriate,
and more varied or beautiful col
lection of china ware is seldom seen
on such an occasion. From this
lot of gifts there will doubtless be
souvenirs of this happy occasion in
the family to the third and fourth
generation.
As the sun sank low toward the
horizon, the guests took their de.
parture, wishing that the host and
hostess might live to celebrate their
Sudie Nynm.

Resolutions on Resignation of
DR.. Burts.

The following appreciation of
DR.. Burts was read and adopted at
prayer-meeting on last Wednesday
evening.
The committee appointed by the
Edgefeld Baptist church on last
Sunday the fifth Of February to
consider the resignation of DR.. G.
E. Burts, begs most respectfully to
report, that in view of the fact that
our beloved pastor feels that his du-
ty calls him to Columbia, where he
has accepted the call of the First
Baptist church, your committee
with great reluctance and keen re-
gret is constrained to recommend
that his resignation be accepted as
Gods ordering.
We desire to put on record our
high appreciation of his faithful
| service here for the past eight years
in his noble effort to build up a
high standard of morality. DR..
Burts has been eloquent in his ex-
exposition of the Bible, giving US
the sincere milk of the word.
He has been untiring in his fight
against sin in every form, and
strenuous in his advocacy of righte-
business and in the support of prohi-
bition, without mental reservation,
burning all bridges behind him,
believing in temperance in all
things.
DR.. Burts has been exceptionally
active in his support of the Sunday
school and all other branches of
church work. His loving attention
to the country churches and people
in the rural districts has been mark
ed, and he has held up high stand
ards of civic righteousness and the
dignity of law and order and the
security of the home.
The South Carolina Co-Educa-
tional Institute and the general
cause of education has ever been
the object of his devotion. During
DR.. Burts' administration there has
been a great increase in our church
membership and the spiritual life
of our congregation.
Our House of Worship has been
enlarged and a handsome pipe or
gan procured.
If our beloved dead, wholie sleep
ing in the cemetery, could speak,
they would testify to his labor of
love in making this sacred spot a
beautiful landscape garden. DR..
Burts possesses social qualities of
fellowship and genial good nature
which have made him universally
beloved by all good citizens all over
the county, being gifted with those
magnetic qualities which make him
an ideal pastor, who has taken such
deep root in the affections of our
people, that it makes our hearts
bleed with sorrow to contemplate
his departure.
AS there is Sovereign Power in
all this, and high Christian charac,
ter behind the decision, may the
blessing of God attend him and his
dear family wherever they may go.

It's issue of April 2lst, 1909:
THE Irish Cobbier is by several
weeks the earliest potato ever plant

PARKsVILLE NEWS.

Sixteen drummers, and one patent
medicine man were in Parksville
last Thursday, land I didn't observe
the two last trains) and no hotel to
go in. 1t is hard to inconvenience so
many travelling men, but the point
is to the enterprising money-making
Parksville: there is money in nice
up-to-date hotel. Of course these
men spread out, and found lodging
at Modoc, Plum Branch, Clark's
Hill, Mccormick or somewhere else
but the question is, why not keep
this money in Parksville?
There is one other enterprise that
is absolutely necessary to the growth
of Parksville, and that is a ferry
across the Savannah river, which
is feasible and practically, right
opposite our town. Modoc has one,
Clark's Hill, Plum Branch, and Nc
Cormick likewise have one, and much
of the g.owth of these enterprising
towns is due to the Georgia trade
which we could command with a
little enterprise and money. Hotel
and ferry are the slogans now.

The sentiment in opposition to the
formation of new counties is growing,
especially i'll formed counties. An act
has been passed which provides that
hereafter the general assembly shall
not establish any new county the
greatest length of which is more than
four times as long as the least central
width thereof. The Governor has also
prohibited the ordering of an election
in such county.
