Meeting of Second Division
w. M. u.

Saturday was a delightful day
for the ladies of the End division.
Horns Creek had issued an invita-
ton and it was cordially responded
to by creditable delegation.
Mrs. !. T. Littleiohn Is president
of this division and had the meeting
in charge.
Mrs. !. T. Atkins welcomed the
delegates most graciously and Mrs.

B. Young and Mrs. J. L. Minis
responding, Mrs. Young made au
especially inspiring response.
The third query, was How shall
we revise our apportionments?"
Mrs. J. w. Gaines of Mt. Zion So.
ciety made splendid presentation
of this subject formed broad view
point, advising the women to divide
up their apportionments equally be-
tween the members and also sug.
gesting the great opportunity that
the societies have of engaging
speakers and bringing uplifting en-
tertainmeats into the communities.
These things of course cost some
thing but the small admission fee
would be gladly paid and several
achievements would be realized at
once, the uplifting of the comlnuni-
ty and the raising of some money
for their missionary cause.
Mrs. Emmie Lanham announced
here the fact that Y. w. A. rally
would be held at Parksville, to
which each church must send dele
gates, June 10.
Mrs. Walter Miller invited all
the ladies to paltake of lunch under
their trees which proved to be a
yeritable banquet. The accom-
panim ent of iced tea helped won
derfully on the hot day that it
proved to be.

spoken in memory of Mrs. Fan

Sullivan School Closed.

SultlVdu SCkiCOl SlOoCos
The editor of The Advertiser ac-
cepted an invitation last Friday to
attend the closing exercises of the
Sullivan school. Ever since the new
building was erected several years
ago, we have had desire to visit
the school but not until Friday have
we been able to crafty that desire.
The splendid new building is To-
Gated near the home of Mr.. j. p.
Sullivan, and because of the large
part he had in erecting the new
building and too because of his loyal
support of the school all down
through the years the people of the
community, without a dissenting
voice, decided to name the school
for Mr.. Sullivan. The name was
worthily bestowed, for there is no
one in the county more deeply in
terested in the success of the neigh
borhood school than Mr.. Sullivan is
in the school near his home. Of
course there are other loyal sup
porters in the community but for
answering loyalty and faiLhfulness
he is without a peer.
The porch of the commodious
new building was transformed into
a stage upon which the exercises
were held. The entire porch was en-
closed with canvass, curtains being
arranged for the front. Evergreens
and flowers were tastefully arranged
on the stage, forming an appropri-
ate background for those who par
ticipated in the evenings exercise.
A pleasing feature of the occasion
was the music supplied by the
Winn-Seigler orchestra of four
pieces. While the people were
gathering and between the different
numbers on the programme the or
chestra discoursed sweet music that
was thoroughly enjoyed by ali pres
ent. The people of the community
are indeed fortunate in having
musicians in their midst that can be
pressed into service on such occa.
sions.
The programme consisted of reci-
taticns, songs, dialogues, pantom-
ines and other features that we're
faultlessly carried out. Each one,
from the smallest pupil to the old
est boys and girls, performed their
parts well. Rarely does one witness
anywhere exercises that are more
creditably presented. Mr.. j. P. Sui
livan, as master of ceremonies, an
nounced each member in a graceful
manner.
The evenings programme was
opened by a brief welcome address
by County Superintendent of Edu-
cation w. w. Fuller. He congrat-
ulated the patrons upon their spen-
did support of the school and urged
them to continue to fl their boys
and girls for the duties that lie be-
fore them. At the close of the pro-
gramme Mr.. J. L. Minis presented a
medal which was offered by the
teacher at theopening of the session
to the one who made the best record
in attendance. This honor fell to
the lot of sweet little girl, Ollie
Alayson.
Miss Maggie Winn has been
teaching the Sullivan school for the
;,ast five years and the splendid
uranner in which tie bright boys
a7d girls acquitted themselves Fri
DAY night is strong testimonial to
tie high character of her work.
The patrons of the school can not

In Loving Memory.

On the morning OF Memorial day
May 10, Fannie Tompkins, one of
the brightest and best beloved
among the women of Edgefeld pass
ed out to another company of
friends. She has been translated into
a sphere of eternal bliss, but how
desolate are we that are left.
We could not agree in our hearts
to leave the tender memories of this
loving heart at the grave, and that
no estimate of her life and character
be gathered together and reviewed.
On Thursday afternoon all the
organizations of the town to which
she belonged, her Sunday school
class and the Sunbeam society,
gathered in the Baptist church to
pay tribute to her memory. There
were number of other friends
present and the school mates Of her
early days, from this community
and from Trenton, and relatives
and friends from the adjoining
country. Many brought flowers and
laid them on her last resting place
and some of the floral offerings were
arranged on the pulpit during the
progress of the service.
The meeting was opened by that
beautiful organ solo, We shall see
him face to face" Mrs. Tillman
playing.
Mrs. J. L. Minis conducted the
service, and asked that each one
sing with the idea in view that our
friend had conquered and was now
enjoying the blessedness of heaven.
The first song was Sweet Bye and
Bye" and then Mrs. Tillman came
to the front of the choir platform
bearing in her hand the Bible of
Fannie Tompkins, the book that had
been her daily companion and her
constant source Of inspiration. AS
she held in her hand and turned the
leaves she read several clippings and
poems, all along the same line of
thought the one encouraging the
sunny smile and the speaking of the
kind word now, the idea of spread
ing the sweet mantle of charity over
the faults Of others and giving them
helping hand.
The question was asked if each
Of us were to pass away to-day,
could our Bibles he easily found
and would the contents so forcibly
exemplify the lives that we lead?
Mrs. Shannonhouse sang Il am
nearer my home to-day" perhaps
than now l Think
A sketch of this precious life
was read by Mrs. J. L. Minis, and
Miss Miriam Norris sang as solo
why do summer roses fade?"
Mrs. Curran Feltham had written
tribute to the memory of this be-
loved friend, and as the part which
the sunbeam society wished to give
on this occasion, Eleanor Minis re-
cited the tribute, which is as fol-
lows:
Tho no angel by her silent grave
Stands, in raiment of flaming light,
Her resurrection to proclaim, and lift
Our grieving spirit to immortal heights,
Yet, we know her faith and service
Won The tender "Well done"
From the Savior she best served
BY leading others to His throne.
We have gathered each flower
And, as we sing our Sunbeam song,
We will place our loving tribute
Her earthly resting place to adorn,
May each blossom be transplanted
To memory's sacred garden of thought
Leading US onward and upward
To the heaven she daily sought.
-Curran Hartley Feltham.
The congregation joined in sing
ing Beautiful Isle of Somewhere"
and Mrs. Rainsford read that in
imitable and suggestive poem, If
| should die tonight"

TT may or may not be true. as the
