ONE OF THE PEDAeoeuEs.


There's a good little story going the
rounds, says the Charleston Mail, of
the State house offices that Is worth
repeating.
1t is on Prof. L. ]. Hanifan, super
visor of rural schools, and also on
Prof. l.. ]. Wilson, superintendent OF
schools for Elkins, and Prof. c. r.
Murray, superintendent OF schools for
Mingo county.
Hanifan and Wilson and Murray,
were instructors at a county institute
held upstate. and the trio occupied
seats on the rostrum while the coun-
ty superintendent got away with the
opening ceremonies.
The last thing on the docket in the
nature of preliminary torture was an
invocation by local minister, who
opened up something like this:
ooh, Lord, we invoke thy blessings
upon all assembled beneath mis- roof"
That sounded all right to Hanifan,
and he murmered an amen"
And, Lord" continued the man of
the cloth, may this institute be so
conducted that all who attend it's ses-
sions may repair to their homes and
their schools with the feeling that it
has been good to be here"
With all of which Hanifan was still
heartily in accord. and again he said
reverent amen"
Wilson and Murray also believed
the point was well taken, and they
too, said Amen"
"And through these teachers, oh,
Lord, bless the pupils of the schools
of the entire county," went on the
voice of the man with the white era
vat, land may this meeting bear fruit
through the ages"
That also sounded good to Hanifan
and Wilson and Murray, and they
three said amen"
And then the official invocator con-
tinued:
SHOW thy mercy unto us thy ser
wants in this moral vineyard and give
unto us a spirit of thanksgiving for
thy loving kindness"
Nobody filed a demurrer to this,
and Hanifan and Wilson and Murray,
believing it another point well taken
again echoed Amen
"And especially, oh, Lord, would we
ask thee to show mercy unto these
teachers, thy faithful servants in the
work of training up the youth of the
county for efficient service in the
years to come-have mercy upon
them, oh, Lord, while these instruc-
tors talk to them"-
Hanifan looked at Wilson, and Will
son looked at Murray, and Murray
looked at Hanifan.
And as each looked from one to the
other of his two companions, the local
sky-pilot, with his face turned implor-
ingly heavenward, repeated:
Have mercy upon these teachers,
while these instructors talk to them!'
And then, as Hanifan and Wilson
and Murray sat straight up and pre-
pared for the next shot. he concluded:
"And grant unto them thy spirit of
patience, and of resignation. Amen"
And then the county superintendent
and the audience said ''Tmen!"
And Hanifan looked at Wilson, in
quiringly.
And Wilson looked at Murray, pen
sively.
And Murray looked at Hanifan,
blankly.
But neither of the trio ventured a
remark on the propriety of the pro
ceedings.

Death of Mrs. J. c. Long.

The announcement OF Mrs. Long 8
passing away on Sunday morning
at her home in Trenton was heard
with much regret in EdgeGeld
where she bad number of friends,
and was well known for her inter
est in the religious and benevolent
work of our county. Mrs. Long
followed in the footsteps of her
mother, Mrs. Lott, as pioneer In
work of the Trenton church, and
was one of the first active members
of the mission society, and the
leader and organizer of the Trenton
Young Woman's Auxiliary, to
whom she was splendid example
of perseverance and heroism.
She was an inspiration and COM
fort to those who were associated
with her in the church life, and was
always ready to render aid. In her
home, as many of us can testify,
she was given to hospitality" and
often extended it to those near and
far. Mrs. Long will be greatly
missed in the circles CT missionary
activity, in our county, where she
was best known, and greatly be-
loved. +. A. NJ.

Subscriber Writes of Crops
Candidates, and News From

Mr.. Editor: We have been hav-
ing so much rain that everybody is
behind with their crops. Some few
have chopped out most of their
cotton, and where it is not swamp.
ed i. the grass, is looking well.
Most of the corn crop is to be plant
ed yet. Less oats and wheat will
be harvested in this community
than has been since the freeze in
1886, and what is made is light
and chaffy.
The farmers are preparing to sow
more peas and sorghum than usual
to make up for the short grain
crops.
The Brunson school has closed
for the summer, but will be opened
again in the fall with the same
teachers, Miss Nellie Hill principal,
and Miss Carrie Collins as
sistant, both of whom have given
general satisfaction the plst term +.

Mrs. Wates Expresses Thanks
For Though tfuI Attentions
of Many Friends.

Mr.. Editor Will you allow me
space in your valuable paper to ex-
press my heartfelt thanks to our
good friends for the many acts Of
kindness and attentions shown us
during the last two months. Not
only the people of Edgefeld, but
lot of friends in the county, and
some in other counties, have kindly
remembered us. / wish | could
thank each one personally, but as
that is impossible at this time, |
fall back on the dear old Advertiser.
Surely no one has ever been bless
ed with better relatives, friends and
neighbors than I have. How such
sweet remembrances have helped
me to pass through the darkest
days of my life!
In reading sketches of the life of
Talmage a few days ago, I was i'm
pressed with one of his expressions.
After his great Tabernacle had been
destroyed by fire, and all the other
denominations had offered him the
use of their churches for worship,
he said in referri G to it in SER
mon: Tell ~ rot, that there is no
kindness tween churches, or that
ther 70 such thing as Christian
bl .nerhood. We know there Is
such a thing as Christian sympa-
thy, and thank the Lord for it.
Now to all our good friends, who
have been so thoughtful let me say,
may the Lord bless you every one,
and may the deeds of kindness done
be as BREAD cast upon the waters. !"
Nothing but love and good will
dwells in my heart for you every
one.
