Edgefield School Letter.

We were delighted to have Rev.
C. II. Dlcky visit the school Mon
day morning and conduct the chapel
exercises. Rev. Dicky is graduate
of Carson-Newman college, and a
very close friend of Mr.. Ross and
Mr.. Copenhaver- He made very
interesting talk, telling us some
thing of the work which Mr.. Ross
is doing this year, and, also, of the
splendid record which Mr.. Copen-
haven made while at Carson-New-
man college.
Mr.. Lyon presented Diomede Hol-
with the bronze medal
which he won in Columbia. 1t was
more of watch fob than medal,
and bore the seal of South Caro-
lima. We feel very proud of Dio-
mede, and wish him success in all
future contests.
We are very sorry to report tie
illness of Miss Ida Folk. We miss
her ioviality considerably, and hope
she will soon be back with us.

HARDY'S HAPPENINGS.
Suffering From Drought. Met
Many Friends While on
Visit to Augusta Sat
urday.

We are still suffering so much
for the want OF rain. The crops
that have been put into the ground
have not had moisture enough to
come up and the ground is so dry
and hard we have had to stop plow-
ing or planting until it does rain.
We had only 4 little shower Satur.
day week ago while in Augusta.
1t hailed very hard for fifteen min
utes and as that stopped, large
flakes of snow came down pretty
thick for few seconds, then came
pelting rain and washed the hail
and snow off the streets. We had
driven under shelter and were very
glad of 1t, when the hail came pelt.
ing down so thick and furiously.
The ground was soon covered and
when we came out on the street
again, in places the rain did not get
the hail was piled where it had
bounced. We were glad enough it
did not reach out here, the fruit
would all have been beaten off the
trees besides damage to the crops
that have struggled up.
While in Augusta Saturday we
saw Mr.. and Mrs. H. F. Cooper
and family, Mr.. L. w. Reese and
Mr.. John Reese, Messrs. George
and Tom McKie, Mr.. 81 McKie,
Messrs. Frank and Hall Townes,
Mr. Henry Medlock, Messrs. Her
bert and Harry Bunch, Miss Lila
Bnnch, Miss Adilee McKie, MIR. L.
S. Reese, Mrs. II. H. Scott, Jr., and
Miss Mildred Scott. She is just
home from a visit to her cousin,
Mrs. Ralph Scott who is visiting
her mother, Mrs. Cone of Brunson,
S. G. Mrs. Scott and Mr.. Hugh
Scott, Jr., spent Sunday a week ago
with Mrs. Sallie Bunch. We are al
ways delighted to have them with
US.
Mrs. Anta. Baynon and Miss LIlla
Bunch were in Augusta Wednesday
of last week on business and saw
the streets being decorated for At
suaga week. Hope to see the parade
Wednesday of this week. Mrs. Bay
non will stay down for week or
two visiting Mrs. Joe Sacre and
Mrs. Bell Coffin. Mrs. Cotfip we are
glad to hear is improving after her
nervous break down, caused by the
fire. She will be remembered as
Miss Bell Robinson of Hamburg.
Mrs. Harry Bunch and four chill
dren went to her fathers Thursday
of last week and she, and her father
went to Edgeield Friday. She came
home Saturday after a very enjoy
able trip. She and her family spent
an hour with Mrs. Sallie Bunch
Sunday afternoon, also Mr.. George
Medlock visited Mr.. Herbert Bunch.
Mrs. Silas Medlock and two little
sons spent the weekend with Mrs.
Frances Townes. They returned
home Sunday morning.
Master Hall Townes spent sever
al days on North Augusta heights
with his sister, Mrs. Willie Walker.
We noticed Miss Annie Walker
running an automobile Saturday
and suppose she has purchased a
new one recently.
We also hear Mr.. Tobe Lanham
has bought Ford. And - it goes,
guess everybody will ride in shazes"
after while, but me.
