Opera House Friday Night.

The second entertainment Of the
lyceum course will be given by The
Potters in the opera house Friday
evening of this week. These two
artists come to Edge6eld strongly
recommended and we feel confident
that all who hear them will be
pleased. The program will consist
of solos. duets, readings, recita-
tions, approximations, etc. Such a
program will not only be entertain
ing but edifying. 1t is very crafty
ing to see that such entertainments
as this are more highly appreciated
in Edgefeld than cheap shows which
merely amuse without elevating
those who attend. Go out Friday
evening to hear The Polters. You
will not be disappointed with what
you shall see and hear.

Letter From Flat Rock School.

What wonderful meaning these
words have: Good morals" There
is no one who does not desire to be
admired; vanity or not it seems to
be natural. 1 think myself it is too
bad to be all the time thinking and
not to try to make some return
for the benefits received, so l will
now rise up out of my little corner
of comfort and let you all know
I am country boy. I know what.
it is to farm and we boys who work
on the farm have much time we
should give to our great Creator.
the Father of all. He put each one
of US here for great purpose. The
thing for us to do is to put our
minds to work and find what that
purpose is and by all means bring
ourselves up to it. So, fellow, let
us strive to get good education
and live higher lives, keeping all
this in mind. Don's let us curse,
drink, gamble or visit places we
would not have mother or sister go.
Let US not quarrel. Be kind to the
loved ones at home, for they are our
dearest friends. Always honor your
parents. Decide on your vocation in
life and strive to walk worthy of
it. Sing sweet songs. A beautiful
song some times touches a tender
chord in hard heart. Always strive
to stay in the right path. Our work
will liye after us. Then let Us make
a record pure and bright that will
lead Others in the paths of right.
Well, fellow pupils, will not
worry you much longer but must
say to all back to SCHOOL, The
summer months have passed away
and fallis here. We turn our
thoughts back to school. Ding, dong,
the bell again is heard as it rings so
loud and clear. 1t brings to US the
thought that school time is here
again. Miss Scott is our teacher.
We all love her and she loves us.
She has no pet in her school rooms.
To our sorrow so many of our cous-
ins, aunts and brothers are to leave
us but some day we may greet them
again. l will close with all good
wishes to my fellow pupils through.
out the county.

A Night of Terror.

Few nights are more terrible than
that of a mother looking on her
child choking and gasping for
breath during an attack of Group,
and nothing in the house to relieve
it. Many mothers have passed nights
of terror in this situation. A little
forethought will enable you to
avoid all this. Chamberlain's cough
remedy is a certain cure for Group
and has never been known to fail.
Keep it at hand. For sale by all
