Tribute to Mrs. Ella v. Tim
merTnan.

Is there anything truer than the
old Bible saying that, death COM
eth like thief in the night?" Du-
ring the very early hours of Friday
morning last Mrs. Ella Virginia
Zimmerman passed from life into
the great beyond. Mrs. Thinner
man was the wife of Mr.. Ransom
B. Zimmerman, and the youngest
Child of the late Jas. G. Thinner
man and consort Mary Ann Dorm.
She was in her seth year and lived
greater number of years than any
of her nine brothers and sisters who
preceded her to the grave. She is
survived by her husband, Mr.. Ran.
som 3. Zimmerman and the follow
ing children: George NJ. Thinner
man, James, Anna L. H. Hazel,
and Charlie W. S. Zimmerman, and
several grand children.
Mrs. Zimmerman, born of Meth
odist parents, was life long loyal
Methodist and consistent member
of old McKendre church.
On Saturday morning at II
o'cIc OK her remains were laid to rest
at Bethlehem church, The Rev. O..
A. Jeffcoat, pastor of the church,
officiating. The love and esteem in
which Mrs. Zimmerman was held
was forcibly evidenced by the very
large number of sorrowing relatives
and friends who were epresent to wit
ness the last sad rites of burial.
Before the grave was left the
shapely mound was covered with
many ard varied beautiful flowers
tastefully arranged by loving hands.
The poet has said:
1--WE all must die;
All leave ourselves, it matters not
where, when,
Nor how, so we die well.
The sorrowlng family may find
consolation in this, that she died
we'll, because she lived we'll, and in
constant communication with her
Savior.

D. A. r. Meeting.

Tuesday afternoon the regular
D. A. R. meeting was held at the
home of the regent, Mrs. N. G.
Evans.
The annual election of officers re.
suited as follows: Mrs. n. G. Evans,
regent, Mrs. j. H. Cantelou, vice
regent; Mrs. J. w. Peak, recording
secretary; Mrs. Maggie Hill, cor
responding secretary; Mrs. B. E.
Nicholson, treasurer; Mrs. Mamie
Tillman, historian; Mrs. J. L..
Minis, chaplain; Mrs. Maner Law.
ton, registrar.
A short service in memory of a
deceased and beloved member, Mrs.
Fannie Tompkins was observed.
Mrs. Peak read a beautiful and ap-
propriate selection and Miss Miriam
Norris sang when?
An invitation from Mrs. Wood
son to entertain the chapter June
IA was read, and the chapter hopes
to accept this invitation to spend
the-day party.
The historical program was led
by Mrs. Tillman. A short report
and pictures of the national con-
gress were shown by Mrs. J. L.
Minis, and the splendid prize essay
written by Miss Lallie Peak was
read on request of the chapter, by
Miss Sarah Collett.
There was much regret over the
loss of those officers whose time

Has Made Good.

1t gives us peculiar pleasure to
speak word of commendation of
the administration of Mr. w. w.
Fuller, the county superintendent
of education, who is seeking re-elec-
ton. We seriously doubt if the
county ever had this important po-
sition so ably filled before as Mr..
Fuller is filling it. Not satisfied
with the present progress and sue
cess of our schools, he is constantly
striving for better things and does
not let up until he brings things to
pass. Our people are fortunate in
having so capable a man at the
head of our educational system.

Baraca Reception.

A very interesting occasion was
that of Friday evening when the
Baraca blues, entertained the reds,
as a fitting close for their splendid
membership continuing through
three months.
DR.. James Byrd was in charge
of tie exercise, and the Baraca class
was called upon to sing two of their
favorite hymns, which was done
with splendid ability. Miss Miriam
Norris sang beautifully The little
gray house on the hill," with piano
accompaniment by Mrs. j. L. Minis.
A very effective talk was made
by John Page Jones. Mr.. a. S.
Tompkins closed with one of his
characteristic addresses.
Delightful refreshments were
served in the dining room to large
number of young people and the
officers and teachers of the Sunday
school.

Congressman .Byrnes.

The people of the second con-
gressional district feel that in the
person of the Hon. James F. Byrnes
they have one in Washington who
is constantly, and with jealous
eye, guarding their interests. Mr..
Byrnes has so conducted himself
that he is highly respected by his
fellow congressman and is held in
high esteem by the entire Democrat
ic administration.
From the time Mr.. Byrnes first
began to serve our people be has
been alert and active, and if re-
elected he will continue to do his
utmost for his constituency and
state and nation.

Bargains at Corner Store.

In his large advertisement this
week Mr.. w. H. Turner tells of
some cut prices that have been
made at the Corner Store on silk
dresses, wash skirts and millinery.
He has had an unusually large mil
linery business this spring, having
been forced to place several dupll-
cate orders as the season has adj
vanced. Read the attractive prices
that are now being made at the
Corner Store. This is no fake re-
duction but a statement of fact.

ChiIdren's Day at McKendree.

There is one annual event or oc-
casion in Edgefeld county that does
not have to be advertised in order
to attract crowd, and that is Chill
dren's Day at McKendree on the
third Sunday in May. These annual
occasions have always been so pleas
ant in the past for all who attended
that for it merely TO become known,
without any blast of trumpets, that
the exercises will be held, means
that the attendance will be large.
1t was our pleasure to be at Nc
Kendree Sunday and witness the ex-
ercises by the children. A more
beautiful scene one seldom witness
es. The chancel and altar were taste
fully and appropriately decorated,
supplying pleasing foreground and
background as the little children re-
cited and sang singly and in groups.
All Of them were not only well
trained but each one seemed to enter
into the spirit of the occasion, evil
dencing much earnestness and zeal.
Mr.. w. E. Turner, the faithful SUI
perintendent of the Sunday school,
was master of ceremonies. While he
had large share of the responsible
ty to bear, yet he had an earnest
and faithful corps of helpers. The
guiding and helping hand of Mrs.
j. M. Shaffer can always be seen In
whatever is undertaken at Mcken-
dree. Another thing, the children
of McKendree are unusually bright
and gifted. We have visited COM
munities in which the presentation
of such an elaborate and varied pro-
gram as was given at McKendree
Sunday would be practically impos-
sible. So Mr.. Turner and the other
grown up people are not entitled to
all of the credit. The Advertiser de-
sires to give the sweet little girls
and bright manly boys their full
share of credit for the splendid ex.
ercise Sunday.
In spite of the large number in
attendance, everybody was given
dinner. The writer was the guest of
Mr.. and Mrs. Shaffer and under the
spreading branches of that large
hickory we feasted upon the best of
everything which was 80 beautifully
prepared and served that the most
exacting and fastidious individual
could not have found aught that
was disappointing.
In the afternoon Rev. M. M.
Brabham who served the Edgefeld
Methodist church very acceptablv
for three years in the past preached,
selecting as his theme the word
Mother" while there was but one
wcrd in his text yet his message
was inspiring and effective, reach
ing the hearts of many persons
present. Mr.. Brabham has many
pleasant recollections of his minis
try in Edgefeld and asked particu
lar!y of friends with whom he was
closely associated while among us.
He promised to come down and
visit his Edgefeld friends.
