Editor Edgefeld Advertiser:
Well, az my letter did not find Its
way to the scrap basket. | will try
once again to give few dots from
Hardy's.
Mr.. G. F. Townes, we are glad to
learn, is improving slowly, and we
hope surely, since he was moved
from the University hospital, over In
North Augusta, to his daughters,
Mrs. Willie Walker. He hopes to
gain strength enough to come home
The last of this week. We will all
be glad to have him come home I'M
proved in health.
Sorry to have to say that Mrs.
Francis Townes was taken to the
hospital last Saturday. She went
to Aug usta last Tuesday on business
and came home feeling badly, had
fever, and was taken to the hospital
Saturday. This leaves Mr.. Henry
Medlock with the entire care OF
his little baby boy.
Mrs. McKie returned home from
her trip to Sullivan's Island much
improved.
Master Willie and Miss Marjorie
McKie, Miss Mary Townes and Mr.
Frank Townes, Jr., attended ser.
vices at Republican Wednesday, and
almost had to swim home. The
rain and electricity were terrific,
and lasted from three o'clock until
dark-a constant down pour.
Miss Minnie Lanham is spending
this week with Miss Mary Townes.
Master Edward Bunch is visiting
his grandmother, Mrs. S. V. Bunch.
Mrs. Bunch's niece, Miss Leila
Usher, and her niece, Miss Eliza
beth Usher, visited Mrs. Bunch in
June, and cneered her so much we
hope they will come again soon.
This was their first visit. They are
from Quitman, Ga. Two very fine,
sweet girls. ...st !.
[s--ssf7. and Mrs. Milton Barker have
gone on an extended trip visiting
relatives in Atlanta, Ca, Anniston
and Birmingham, Ala, Lookout
Mountain, Chattanooga, Tenn, Mr..
Parker's home, and other points.
We know Miss Lou, as we all call
her, will enjoy this outing very
much.
DR.. r. L. McKie has been thresn-
ing grain this past week, and ind
the crop was very much cut short
by the dry spring.
This last drv spell cut the corn,
cotton and potato crops off greatly;
also, gardens and melons were
ruined.
Fruit was almost complete fail
ure in this section, so there has been
but little to can for winter. What
beans, okra and tomatoes we could
get from our own gardens | have
but up, about eight dozen jars, and
some catsup, but tomatoes are get
ting scarce, unless the rain revives
them, which we hope it may do.
Sunday was service day at Sweet
water, and three were baptized.
Next second Sunday in September
they have arranged to have a memo
rial service of those buried in the
Sweetwater cemetery, and will have
all-day exercises.
Next Sunday the protracted meet
ing begins at Hardy's. Mr.. Lam
ham will have Rev. Mr.. Posey, from
Ward, to assist him. We hope to
have a soul.stirring meeting this
season, and much good come from
this service.
Mrs. George Stallings, of Ameri-
Gus, Ca, formerly Miss Eta APPEL,
of Augusta, visited her cousin, Will
Briggs, week ago, and went on to
visit his sisters, Mrs. L. Fl. Hamil-
ton, of Pleasant Lane, and Mrs. j..
D. Hughey, of Parksville. We are
always glad to see Mrs.. Stallings,
with her bright merry laugh. She
makes us feel like all our good old
school days are back, with her dear
self with US again.
Mrs. T. J. Briggs brother, Mr..
John Getzen, paid her visit last
week, which she and all enjoyed
greatly.
The meeting at Republican was
we'll attended, and gained several
candidates for baptism.
