Death of Mrs. Martha Strom.

One of Edeeield county's most
beloved and honored residents has
gone to her reward. On Wednes-
day morning at about three clock,
after only short illness she passed
from this earthly and transient ex-
istence to 4 greater and happier
world.
Mrs. Strcm was seventy-fve
years of age, but had kept her
youth and good cheer to an unusual
degree. She was actively engaged
in the work of Gilgal church of
which she was a lifetime me!nberyl
and was the president of the Gil
cal mission society at the time of
her death.
The writer of this sketch had
known and loved her from her ear
lest childhood and in later years
had found her one Of the most faith
fui helpers and friends in all the
undertakings for the Masters king
dom. She never shirked on ac-
count Of her approaching years, but
was in reality faithful unto death
and has received the crown of
life.
On Thursday morning she was
laid 10 rest at Gilgal cemetery, the
funeral services being delivered by
Rev. ]. 7. Littieiohn, the pastor.
The sermon was commented upon
as having been an excellent one,
and we thought that it was not hard
to preach such sermon, when there
was such worthysubject as this one,
a friend-uot only to her family, land
her neighbors and friends, but to
every good and needy cause.
Mrs. Strom had large family,
several of whom have gone to their
reward.
There are three daughters left,
Mrs. DR.. Pattison and Mrs. J. W.
Thurmond of Edgefeld and Mrs. D.
II. Self of Pleasant Lane, and one
son, Hon. w. A. Strom. w. A. and
DR.. J. S. Byrd and J. T. Byrd of
Edgefeld, DR.. Percy Byrd of
Batesburg and Miss Pauline Byrd
are her grand children, and also the
sons and daughter of Mrs. Leila
Williams of the Gilgal section.
There was large attendance at
the funeral and Mrs. Mamie Till
man and Miss Miriam Norris pro-
vided very appropriate music.
There were many beautiful flowers.
sent by the family and loving
friends of Mrs. Strom. Her example
and influence will live long as 4
memorial of her long and useful
life.

unquestioning HABIT Of obedience.
This discipline when backed by the
military spirit which permeates our
every department accomplishes al
most miracles. And over and above
all, We assure you that you will not
have 10 DRIVE your boy. A few
month with us will make him want

The Military Dept
The military feature is invaluable
in the training Of boys. 1t teaches
readiness, promptness, obedience,
self-control. 1t induces ercc,ness
of body. correct carriage, neatness,
self-respeet. This is its object, and
not militarism.
The Military Department of the
school is conducted as nearly as
possible after the methods in use at
West Point, without partaking of
their more rigid and unsympathetic
features. There are daily drills,
frequent inspections, parades, and
all duties and ceremonies that 60 to
make up the routine work of a mill
tary post.
During the whole of the year the
quarters of the cadets are under
special and frequent inspection
each day, and there is weekly fall
dress inspection, at which time both
the quarters Of the cadets and the
cadets themselves are carefully in
spectea by the Commandant, Maj.
w. D. Workman. At the frequent
formations each day the clothing,
shoes, etc, Of the cadets are in
spected, so that it is next to impos-
sible for a cadet TO present ether
