Mrs. Martin of Florida, Mrs. Mary
A. Miller, who for seventy-nlne
wears led life of usefulness and
unselfisnness entered quietly and
serenely into the rest of Heavenly
home that await "the pure in heart"
The summons was not unexpected
to her nor to those who watched by
her bedside with such undying and
faithful love AMI Just short while
before she passed away she said,
81 am not afraid to die, but hate
to be separated from you', and now
that she has passed through the dark
valley Of the shadow of death, she
is basking in her Savior's love,
while those who loved her are sor.
rowing that her life with It's
tender influence could not have been
spared longer. Mrs. Miller was of
that happy and social disposition
that made her always welcored
guest. Her friends loved her and she
in turn loved them to that depth
that to make sacrifices for them gave
her real pleasure and her fondness
for little children and her attentions
to them were particularly beautiful
and tender, Mrs. Miller was noted
for her generosity, her charity, her
kindness to the needy and if one
trait had pre-eminence over the 9TH
er, it was her unbounded hospitali-
ty. She was ever consistent and
faithful member of Horns Creek
church and it was there she was laid
to rest on Friday afternoon. She
loved flowers and a profusion of the
choicest and rarest formed mound
beneath which she SLEPT. Rev. P. B.
Lanham, friend and neighbor,con-
Quoted the burial services and spoke
beautifully and tenderly of the life
she had led. The children Whogsare
vive her and who have the deepest
sympathy of the entire community
are Mesdames Emma Atkins, Wal
ter Miller, Matt Martin, S. B. Mays,
and Messrs. S. w. Miller anu Wal
lace w. Miller.

Friday the 2lst was a Red Letter
day for Trenton, marking the clos
ing of the High School which has
been successfully taught by Prof.
H. w. Scott and his faithful as
sistants, Miss May Harrison, Miss
Maude Moore and Miss Ruth Sal
ter. A picnic was decided upon as
form of entertainment with appro-
pirate indoor exercises, beginning at
noon as follows: Duet, Mrs. Scott,
Miss Moore, followed by the invoca
tion, Rev. Mr.. Taylor of Granite
Vile. Then in his own inimitable
way Prof. Scott gave cordial well
come to the large audience, which
was followed by a much enjoyed
address by County Superintendent
of Education. Mr.. w. w. Fuller,
who thereafter graciously awarded
a prize won by little Susan Eliza
beth Mathis for spelling in the
fourth grade and little Kathleen
Smith in the third grade. Then
came the crowning event of the day
an address by DR.. .Pendleton Jones
of Edgefeld who took for his sub
ject the three important verbs TO
he, to have. to do. The Doctor is a
scholarly gentleman, and handled
his subject with intiexible integrity.
He was graceful, vigorous and elo-
quent and held his hearers spell
bound. The program was inter-
persed with three choruses by the
High School girls which showed
careful training, Pond Lilies"
Voices of the Words, and Merry
June" Then came the hour for
dinner, when Trenton again evi-
denced her hospitality and main
tained the reputation she has al
ways had. The afternoon was
given over to a double header,
base bali game, between the home
team and Graniteville, the first score
standing six to eight in favor OF
Graniteville, the second six to two
in Trenton's favor. In passing, it
would be unjust not to mention the
fair and gentlemanly conduct Of
the Granlteville base ball team.
We commend them for it and we
considered it a pleasure to have them
with us. Another incident that
caused much laughter and merri-
ment in the afternoon was the Bas-
ket ball game between the Trenton
girls and the Town girls (boys
