A Real Sacrifice Sale.

Mr.. w. H. Turner has decided
to reduce the tremendous stock of
the Corner Store. In order to ac-
complish this end he has reduced
prices very low. as will be seen in
his full page advertisement this
week. Such targain-giving sale,
coming at time when people need
the merchandise and have limited
means with which to buy, is great
stroke of fortune. Nothing will be
reserved. The cream of the large
stock can be had at about invoice
cost, the plice being less than cost
in many instances. Surely the peo-
pie will not have to be urged to
patronize the Corner Store during
the next few weeks. The quality of
the goods and the very low prices
will be sufficient inducement. Begin
your tl!hristmas shopping now at
the Corner Store.

Dry Cure for Pork.

For each 100 pounds of meat.
weigh out five pounds of salt, two
pounds of granulated sugar and two
ounces of saltpeter, and mix them
thoroughly. Rub the meat once
every three days with third of the,
mixture. While the meat is curing
it is best to have it packed in a
barred or tight box. For the sake
of convenience it is advisable to-
have two barrels, and to transfer,
the meat from one to the other each
time it is rubbed. after the last
rubbing the meat should lie In
the barrel for week or 10 days.,
when it will be cured and ready to-
smoke. To cure nicely it is desira-
BILE to have cool and rather moist
place in which to keep it. This re-
cipe should not be used where the
meat must be kept iii warm and
dry place, as the preservatives will
not penetrate easily and uniformly.

Death of Mrs. Pearce QUITS.

The sudden death of Mrs. Pearce
QUITS at her home in Edgefeld was
extremely sad, leaving besides her
husband eight children. She was a
member of the Baptist church and
the funeral was conducted from the
First Baptist church Monday after
nocn by Rev. p. B. Lanham.
Before her marriage, Mrs. QUITS
was Miss Ella Stevens and was rear
ed in the Meeting Street section.
This good woman lived for those
whom she loved, her chief delight
being found in promoting the hap
piness of the members of her fami-
ly circle. May the Crest Physician
be tenderly near those who are be-
reaved.

anywhere, whether it be on the red
hills of Edgefeld or in the sand
beds of Georgia. His Edgefield
friends are always glad to see him.

Death of Miss Rose Strom.

At the home of her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. T. G. Strom, in the Anti
och section, Miss Rose Strom passed
away Wednesday last. For several
years her health has been steadily
failing, her condition becoming such
that for the past six months she has
been confined 10 her bed. During
her illness she suffered intensely but
bore it through the long days,
weeks and months with patience
and fortitnde that becometh one
who is a consecrated Christian.
Miss Strom was the light and joy
of the home, her aged parents lean
ing heavily upon her. She was be
loved by many devoted friends in
all parts of the county. In the Re-
|hoboth section where she spent the
early years of her life and in Edge
field where she made her home for
some time Miss Strom was greatly
beloved, and the announcement. of
her death, while not unexpected,
caused much genuine sorrow.
Besides her father and mother,
Miss Strom leaves one sister, Mrs.
r. N. Edmuuds, and six brothers,
R. P, o. S., E. L., NJ. E., H. y.
and George S. Strom. She was an

State Mission Pageant and Sun
beam Exercise.

On Sunday evening in the Zap.
tist church, although the weather
was extremely inclement, there was
a very good attendance to 9ltf!ess
the children's Sunbeam exercises,
the program for which had been ar,
ranged at the w. M. u. headquas'
ters as all instru ctive illustration: of
our state mission activities. The de
tails were carried out by Mrs. Ma
ME N. Tillman, leader of the Edge
field Sunbeam society, with the
members of that society imperson-
ating tn, various enterprises under
the Baptist denomination in South
Carolina. These exercises which ap-
peal to the eye, are being used more
and more as a factor in attracting
the attention of the Indifferent null
titudes to the great needs of the
various fields.
The professional of all the Sun
beams was very effective, and the
queen of the pageant, Dixie, imper-
sonated by Miss Ouida Pattison,
made a wise selection when she
gave the laurel crown to little Caro-
lyn Dorm, the sunbeam, who repre-
sented the most hopeful organiza.
ton for Baptist missions in the
state.
Prof. G. G. Ross acted as master
of ceremonies, and Mrs, j. r,
Tompkins presided at the organ
with Rev. and Mrs. R. G. Shan
nonhous, Miss Eliza Minis, Mr.
George F. Minis, Miss Miriam
Norris, Mr.. and Mrs. E. j. Norris
composing the choir.
The address of welcome was
most cordially extended by Edward
Peak, and Kate Minis gave very
forceful recitation on What she
forgot"
Miss Margaret May, president OF
the Sunbeam society, quizzed the
Sunbeams as TO some of the work ol
state missions which they answered
very intelligently.
Miss Miriam Norris sang South
Carolina" an original poem of oul
missionary, John Lake, and reci
!! tation by Hansford Minis and Mary
Lille Byrd, Giving without
grudging," gave evidence of their
interest in the cause.
Mother goose, Eleanor Minis,
brought on the platform with hel
two boys, blue, Robert QUITS and
Milton Swearingen, Little Bo Peep,
Elizabeth Zimmerman and Mistress
Mary, Elizabeth Lott, whom she
admonished by a parody on the
verses attributed to these characters,
to do their full share for stale mis-
