by Fall. Sickness in
Community.

! IlOW we are dill ItJOlClhS o'ei 1ie
! much needed showers of rain that
fell on Saturday last.
We are sorry to report that such
a small crowd came out to Horns
Creek church Sunday to hear Rev.
Joe Gaines. He preached a grand
and inspiring sermon.
Mr.. John Mays had the misfor-
tune on last Friday to fall and
break his arm in two places, also a
rib. He is suffering a great deal of
pain.
On last Friday night Mrs. Jessie
Grafton entertained a few of her
young friends in honur of her guests,
Misses Ethel Glover, Una Ryan and
Anna Roper, the former returning
to Edgefeld on Sunday afternoon,
carrying with her the heart of a
certain young man, and whose heart
she says she is going to wear in her
shoe.
/, Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Nicholson
spent Sunday with Mr.. and Mrs. j.
n. Fair, leaving with them their
son TO spend some time with his
grand parents.
Mrs. Paul Hammond, who has
been sick for quite while, is now
with her home folks while under
the treatment of DR.. R. H. Nichol-
son of your town.
Others that are on the sick list
are as follows: Mrs. ]. n. Fair,
little Mary Frances QUITS, the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Will
QUITS. We hope for them al! a
speedy recovery.
Miss Lena Lanham is spending

Wells.
Miss R!aath! l!..=sl Smith has returned gl
her sisters at Red Hit.
Miss Lila Roper leaves now soon
to visit her sister in New York.
She will be gone for quite awhile.
The WI liter is very sorry to learn
that the public put the wrong con-
struction on the piece that came out
in print last week in regard to Mr..
Herbert G. Peddle winning the
heart of certain young lady. The
writer did not mean that they had
INDUCED in the so. called matrimony.
A certain bachelor just across the
way asked me to announce his mar
riage, but he failed to give the
writer the name of his future IN
tended and date of the happy occa-
sion. l hope to be able to announce
it in the near future.

bia, ard her coming to EdgetieId
was greatly appreciated by the W.
G. Il. u, under whose auspices she
came, and by the mo'hers at large.
An interesting programme pre-
ceded the evening lecture, consist
ing of a splendid recitation by our
little friend, j. R. Zimmerman, Jr.,
Duet, Whispering Hope" by
Misses Ruth Tompkins and Miriam
Norris, with violin obligato by
Miss Rosela Parker, and a reading
by Miss Hortensil Woodson.
All the exercises took place in
the court house, and the evening
lecture on How the young may re-
main young, and the old grow young
again." was given by DR.. Sophia
Brunson, of Sumter, one of the
leading practitioners of that pro-
gressive city.
DR.. Brunson was already well
known in Edgefeld, town and coun-
ty, and beloved by many relatives
and friends in this and adjoining
communities.
The lecture was delightful from
beginning to end, full of humor,
pathos and practical value. DR..
Brunson is cultured and full of a
broad love for humanity, and has
courage and a large experience
which makes her advice of great
worth, and it is given so charming
ly that one forgets it is the prosaic
subject of health to which they are
listening.
The Civic League very generous
ly prepared booth from which a
committee of ladies dispensed splen-
did literature to all the mothers
present.
The day was pronounced a great
success.
