Death of Mrs. N. L. Brunsor

For the third time in few years
the family of our friend and neigh
Dor Mr.. N. l.. Brunson has been
called upon to pass under the rod
of bereavement and this time is the
most beloved of the family, the
wife and mother. Mrs. Brunson
was Miss Mary Fair before her
marriage to Mr.. Brunson and was
another who lived through the
struggle Of the Civil war, her hus-
band being veteran of the Lost
Cause. The only child of this fami-
ly, Miss Genie Brunson, died about
three years ago, and there is now
but one member of this once happy
circle. They were father and moth
er to other members of their fami-
ly, having reared from infancy
Frank Fair nov of Atlanta, and for
many years Misses Mary and Kel-
lab Fair were members of this
family.
Mrs. Brunson was greatly be-
loved in Edgefeld and by all who
knew her. She was for mnuy years
member of the Baptist church
he.e, and took an active interest in
all those thin gs which evidence the
Christian spirit. She was not strong,
and was therefore un lble to be as
actively identified with church
affairs as some, but her hears was
in every endeavor for the uplift of
the community.
Her remains were laid to rest in
the village cemetery amid a large
concourse vf friends and relatives.
The funeral service was conducted
by Dr.. N. D. Jeffries, her pastor.

Grows Very Fine Potatoes.

The finest Irish potatoes that we
have seen in long time were from
tbe garden Of Mrs. Arthur Brunson.
She never fails to grow fine pota-
toes, it matters not how dry or wet,
hot or cold it may be. She has
promised to write down on paper
for us her method of growing po-
tatoes. By studying it and putting
it into actual practice we hope, at
least in the matter of potatoes, to
live at home-something we have
not been doing heretofore. Mrs.
Brunson has been making more po-
tatoes from two packs than we
have from two bushels.

goods was put off for the term.
Edward Moore, colored, was sentenced

jerome Wildermuth, keeper OF the
Quinton and Marlboro turnpike toll gate,
OH the evening of July 4th, fired a re-
volver from his window, because he had
beef previously annoyed by unknown
persons. The bullet hit Miss Grace
Myers in the back but did not seriously
lnlure her. As word had been sent to
Prosecutor S%innickson, it was his duty to
investigate the matter. Because it was
an accident Miss Myers did not care to
bring suit and a plea for leniency WAS
made by the Prosecutor. Sentence was
suspended and Wildermuth was placed
in charge OF Probation Officer Galloway.
The judge said the firing of a revolver
into the dark and not caring who it hit
is very dangerous and those who do tt
must suffer the consequences

man was wheeling oil thru the door, aud
Glufund WAS a few feet away when the

blown to bits. The largest part of a
body found in the ruins was a hand. II
isn't known to whom it belongs.
The gelatine factory, a one-story frame
building was destroyed, but In no other
part OF the plant was any one injured or
property loss suffered, except by the
breaking of windows. This was due to
abe immense walls OF earth and lumber
surrounding the site where the p~elatine
factory stood. This wall was erected for
Sust the purpose it served, to prevent the
spreading OF death and havoc in the
event OF All explosion.
The shock was felt for several miles

fashion of extremely short dire ses worn
by little girls. Mothers woulddO well to
ponder on the effect it has on the
morals Of children. She might have
also said it illustrated the moral con-
ception and disposition of The mothers.
The modesty oil costumes is governed
by the %convential laws Of the locality
and when such are not cOmfOrined TO
the morality of the maker and wearer
are often questioned. The prudent
person will give much consideration
as to what is modest drmeanor.
