Prof. Thos. J. Lyon.

At the closing of the school this
year allusion was made to almost
Eeverything: concerning the cause of
education in our midst but the
|5nlost siIraE tSns IS - aSyer
tently omitted. To no cause orto
no individual does the success of
the school owe more than to our
most proficient and efficient P-inci-
pal Professor Lyon. We are truly
grateful that our children can be
under the watchful care of such a
man. He is not only an example
to our boys and girls-an example
worthy of emulation-but he is an
inspiration to any child or grown
person. His ideals are high and his
| life approximates those ideals. We
sincerely hope that as long as our
children are within the walls of our
public school that Professor Lyon
will have the reins in his hands.
With this man as our leader we are
satisfied, the board of trustees are
satisfied and the overwhelming ma
jority of the patrons are satisfied
and eratified that this christian gen
tleman is the Superintendent OF the
school of Edgefeld.

In Loving Remembrance of
Little Edith Quarles

About $3.50 o'clock, May I, the
death angel entered the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Levi Quarles and took
from the arms of the fond mother
their sweet little girl, Edith, about
nine months of age. This blessed
little one could be spared only a
short time from the portals OF
Heaven. Edith was too pure and
bright to dwell in this sin-cursed
world. Now she is in the arms of
her Saviour watching and waiting
for her parents.
Precious Edith thou hast left us,
From this world forever gone,
We would not call thee back from the
Fathers heavenly throne.
No, dear darling, not for millions,
But will pray to meet thee there
In thy fathers glorious mansion
From this world of toll and care.
No one knows how we do miss thee,
Precious Darling, from US flown.
We weep and mourn for thee
But thou art forever gone.
There will never be sorrow
To wrinkle thy sweet smooth face,
For God has taken thee
To his holy resting place.
Cousin.
