In Memoriam.

The angel of death has visited our
family the fourth time since August
81. 1911. During the quiet cool night
of August u ouf Lord came and took
with him our dear mother. She had
been an invalid for three years, but
what a pleasure it was for us to have
her here on earth With us. She often
spoke of her Lord, and said she was
willing and ready to face death, and
wanted to go with her Lord. On Sep
tember 8 death came to our little Will
lie Rosco Wicker. He was sick only
Ia few days. He was brave, manly
fellow. He endured his sickness well.
These who knew him best loved him
most. He was a joy and pride to his
mother. and father, and now he is with
his Lord, where we all long to go. H
On May rs, 1912, our Lord came back
to this same home and took with him
our little Annie Lou. She died within
a few days and went to heaven, where
her soul is today waiting the resur-
rection morn.
Within week from the day this
child died He visited the home of
Brother Robert and carried with him
James Radford Shealy. He was sick
some few weeks. All the help that
could be done was given him. He was
carried to the Columbia hospital, but
nothing that they could do did him any
GOOD. It seemed that God wanted him
as one of his angels, and the family
gave him up without much grief.
No one knows how we do miss these :
loved ones from us gone,
But now they are in that beautiful
The far away home of the soul.
Where no storms ever beat on that
beautiful strand.
Precious mother and loved ones, thou
hast left us,
From the world thou art forever gone.
We would not call thee back
For we know that they are resting
On thy Fathers heavenly throne.
1t seems that we can hear their sing
ing,
"Ot, sinners come home;;"
But they are forever gone,
To wait the resurrection morn.
Mothers Daughter, Loved Ones, Aunt
Chrissie.

Mrs. CLARESSA BRIDGES.

~~@~m~~%~%~~~~~ o
For many long years-even before
Prosperity was dreamed of-there has
been a large white house crowning an
eminence that overlooks the present
all she surveyed, lived the subject
of this sketch, Mrs. Clarissa Bridges.
During the ante-bellum days her
slaves titled the soil for miles around,
but ere long various enterprising men
fancied this particular ground for a
town-and the major portion of it was
scl0, and she watched her once roll
ing fields give place to a growing town.
Through all the vicissitudes of near
ly century-she was 92 years of age
Mrs. Bridges has lived in this home
and this town, and rejoiced and sor-
rcwed with those around her. She has
sat by the bedside of allS her loved
ones, save the two granddaughters by
whom she is survived, and comforted
them. as they passed through the val
lev to the land that is fairer than day.
Notwithstanding all these dispensa-
tons of Providence and the loss of
property she was never known to COM
plain.
About six years ago she had the mis-
fortune to fall and break her hip, but
since then, in her rolling chair, she
has been happy and an object lesson
in eheerfulness to all who came into
contact with her. Mrs. Bridges was
quiet and gentle in manner, kind and
hospitable, and untiring in her loving
service to those in her home. She ex-
erted an influence in her quiet way
and will be missed. Like sheaf of
wheat, full ripe, she has been garner
ed into the heavenly storehouse and
reunited with the loved ones who have
gone before. r. X.

NATIONAL CORN SHOW.
Tive Boys From Newberry Club Can
Secure Week at School During
National Show.


the National Corn show and the prizes
to be awarded will be interesting to
the boys of the Newberry County Corn
club. The county superintendent of
education says that he expects to make
arrangements to have the two boys
making the best record, attend the Ma
tiCnal Corn show to be held in Colum-
bia, and, in fact, it is his purpose to
take all of the boys Of the Newberry
club to Columbia for one day. These
two boys that are mentioned by Mr..
Haddon are to be selected from the
winners in this county to attend the
corn school to be held in Columbia
during the National Corn show for one
week. More detailed particulars will
be published and sent to the boys by
the county superintendent of educa-
tion in few days.
The following is Mr.. Haddon's let
ter:
Clemson College, S. c., June 21, 1912.
Dear Friend:
In my last letter l promised to say
something about the prizes ITO be
awarded in the corn club this year.
am glad to announce that in almost
every county arrangements have been
made for the two boys making the best
records to attend the National Corn
school to be held at Columbia in con-
nection with the Fifth National Corn
exposition in January, 1913. 1 hope
to have this arrangement in every
county soon. Write your superintend-
ent to know if your county is going to
send two boys. This will be free trip
and will be worth more than any prize
that could be given. If you want to
knew more about what the school is to
be- write to Mr.. Geo. H. Stevenson,
Palmetto Bank building, Columbia, S..
c., and he will tell you all about it.
The trip to Washington will be given
this year as usual to the State cham
pion. The H. G. Hastings Seed CON-
psny, Of Atlanta, Ga, has offered $100
to the boys in this State; and the Berk-
shire World, of Springfield, ILL.,, has
l.offered two pure bred Berkshire pigs.
Local prizes will be given in every
county. Your superintendent can tell
you about these.
The time of year for pulling fodder
will soon be here and many boys will
either pull it or allow their fathers to
do So 1 wish to warn you against
this You will lose anywhere from
three to ten bushels of corn if you
pull the fodder. Watch your county
paper next week for an article on
Pulling Fodder" by Prof. J. M. Ma
pier. of Clemson College. Read it well.
Write me if you wish any advice or
information.
Yours very truly,

PROF. TATE AT CHAPPELLS.
A Fine Country and Fine People
Talking About Improving School
Conditions.

On SATURDAY AFTERNOON, IN company
with Prof. Tate, I was at Chappells,
and Saturday evening at o'clock
the citizens of the Chappells commu-
nifty assembled in the Baptist church,
where Professor Tate delivered his il
lustrated lecture, using the stereopti-
con The purpose of this meeting was
to confer with the patrons of the
school at Chappells and the citizens
generally, looking to making arrange
ments for the erection Of a school
building in that district No definite
steps have yet been taken but I be-
lieve the people of that community
realize the Importance of good school
in their community and understand
now at what little cost to themselves
they can have this school,
This district has nearly s25O,000
worth of taxable property, and nearly
one-half of it is owned by the South
ern railway. 1t is known that the
Southern railway never objects to pay
ing taxes for the purpose of improving
the condition of the people through
their territory, and it does seem that
if {. big corporation like this, which
will pay nearly one-aalf of the cost of
the school building is willing to be tax
ed for that purpose, that the people
| who would get the immediate results
through such an enterprise would not
raise objection.
The people of this community are
intelligent and progressive and deep
ly interested in the development of
their community, and I am satisfied
that when they think over the situa-
tion and the facts as presented by Pro-
fessor Tate, that they will undertake
the building of this school house with
as much unanimity and enthusiasm as
the people of Pomaria have exhibits
ed, and if they do it will only be a
little while before work On the school
house will be commenced.
The fact is that this is one of the
bestt communities in NeWberry coun-
ty. The farming lands are fertile, the
homes are up-to-date and the people
intelligent and sociable, and in every
other way it is one of the most de-
lightful communities in which to live.
If one will go and spent some time in
the homes, he will realize that what
an, saying is absolutely true. 1t was
my pleasure to take supper with Mr..
w. r. Smith, who has most delight
full home and to spend the night with
Mr. A. P. Coleman, who has one of the
best homes in Newberry county, fitted
up with all of the modern conven-
fences and surrounded by a fertile
farm, and these two are no exceptions,
and both with charming families.
When | visit community like this l
can not help but wonder why any one
who lives in the country, and such a
country as this, would ever think of
giving up his country home to move to
town.
hope that the people will continue
to agitate the building of a school
house and really discover the school
house in their community and make it
as it should be the centre of the COM
munity E. H. A.

PRICES UP IN CHICAGO
In Accord With Demand and Sup
ply'-Conventionites Please Dig

Chicago cafes have issued new
menu cards, due not 50 much to wear
and tear on the old ones as to the
approach of the republican national
convention. They attest Chicago's
appreciation Of the honor done her.
Her conventional rates are to give
way to convention prices. Hotels
will follow the lead.
In a measure the upward move
ment is unexpected. 1t does not ac-
cord with promises given when the
city was competing for the conven-
ton. But times have changed. The
restaurant keepers association says
that prices will remain in accord
with demand and supply" Other
authorities are quoted as asserting
that increased prices are necessary
as a matter of self-protection." The
two views are diverse but not con-
Trajectory.
1t is odd that Chicago with her
stockyards can not get a supply of
beef equal to the demand Of a tenn
porary convention, and odder still
that she should deem it imperative
to advance prices as a protection
against the guests she invited to
come. But the ways OF villagers are
easily disturbed. A gathering that
would not swap a bar in New York
might sn6m6rge every thing in sight
in Chicago.

A BRIDAL SHOWER
Pretty Attention to Miss Grace Har-
vey, the Bride-to-Be.

A very pretty event Of the past
week was a bridal shower rendered
to Miss Grace Harvey, who will be
wed on Wednesday to Mr.. McLen1on.
IT occurred at the home of Rev. Or.
and Mrs. l.. r. Burress. About
thirty-fve guests were present. The
home was tastefully decorated with
ferns and roses. Miss Harvey, with
her mother and grandmother, re-
ceiyed the guests.
A feature of the event was the
bestowal upon the fair young BRIDE
elect of a lovely recipe book, each
of those present giving her their
most famous recipe or some good adj
vice for future reference.
This was followed by the heading
of "A Story OF a Wedding Journey,
in which a young couple were so
unfortunate as to be in a train
wreck and had to take refuge in a
farm house where they were deprived
at this point
of every luxury. The fairy god
mother appeared at this point, and
as the bride waved her magic wand,
a shower of those things most dear
TO a homemaker's heart fel upon
her.
Music added much to the pleasure
of the afternoon. ice cream and
cake constituted the refreshments.
Near the close Of the afternoon,
the young honor guest gave express
sion in rhyme to her gratitude for
the. lovely attention. All departed
wishing for her a life of sunshine
and happiness.
