Musical Treat

Mr.. Mrs. B. B. Jones gave great
pleasure to about a dozen of their
friends of musical inclination on
Tuesday evening at their hosp!t.ole
home, in honor of Miss Nan Gunter
OF Batesburg.
Every time Miss Gunter comes
to Edgefeld a certain coterie of her
music loving admirers by peculiar
magnetism are drawn together and
she holds them spell bound with her
bewitching voice. Tuesday even
ing was such an occasion. Some
of our coterie were absent, but she
sang about the one across the seas,
and we thought of the other one
whose original composition and con-
genial companionship would have
added great charm to the occasion,
but he was prevented also.
Miss Gunter sang several beauti-
full selections. She is not often al
lowed to sing anything new. Each
one calls for the last years favorite,
and the wee small hours find her
still answering the demand for more
and more.
A delightful vacation from the
past was new voice, that of Miss
Miriam Norris who sang two beauti-
full selections, charming all who
listened.

but that he enters politics this good

said the matter of deciding to enter
the race was the greatest struggle
of his life. The disinclipation and
the advice of friends not to en-

call to duty on the other, made 1t
exceedingly difficult indeed for him
to reach decision. lie said poll

radiation and shame in South Caro-

sislance in restoring it to a plain of

constantly before him the interests
of the people of Edgetield county
and the State at large.
In closing Mr.. Marsh stated that
he can not minglevery much with
the people of Johnston and vicinity

his friends to become interested in
