friends, who reluctantly give her
up. The groom is an honored

Death in County Home Family

For many years MIR. Ready Tim
merman has been the sunshine OF
the County Home, consequently his
death early last week has caused
genuine sorrow among the inmates
of the Home, as well as among his
relatives and friends over the county.
Everybody who knew Ready Tim
norman liked him. His hearty,
whole souled greeting and his bright,
CHEEKY smile always made one feel
better and happier for having met
with him. Although greatly handi-
capped by being afflicted with rheu-
matism from his childhood, he was
never depressed or despondent.
The editor of The Advertiser knew
him when boy and it has always
been real pleasure to greet Ready
and grasp his hand all down through
the years. Although necessarily
circumscribed, his life was bless.
ing to those who knew him and who
were thrown with him. Possessing
practically nothing of this worlds
goods, the joy and happiness and
sunshine which he scattered should
be a rebuke to those more favored
by Fortune. If Ready Zimmerman
could always be happy, and he was,
why should those who have an hun
dred more reasons for being happy
than he, be sour and selfish. His
life is positive proof that happiness
comes from within and not from
without.

Edeefield School Letter.

The McDufie Literary Society
had call meeting Friday for the
purpose of electing a new president
and secretary. We feel very proud
of the spirit of patriotism exhibited
by our late president, Mr.. Eugene
Timmons, who gave up the presi-
Dental chair, as we'll as many other
things, to join the U. S. Navy.
His presence and efficient work are
missed greatly both in the class
room and society. The secretary,
Mr.. Hob Byrd, resigned his posi-
ton because of the fact that he had
been a member of the society for
only a short time and did not feel
sufficiently qualified to fulfill the
duty of an officer. The new officers
elected were: President, Ouida Pat
tison; secretary, Lee Timmons. We
are planning a very entertaining
meeting to be held at the close Of
school, the program of which will
be published later.
Mr.. Edwin Folk and Mr.. Edgar
Lanham were our representatives to
Columbia in the State oratorical
and athletic contests, which took
place Thursday and Friday. Ed
win was admitted into the final con-
tests, an honor that makes the school
feel very proud of him. Mr.. Bon
ner accompanied them.
Rev. E. G. Bailey conducted the
chapel exercises Monday morning of
last week, and made a very inter-
esting talk. We appreciate his at
tention very much. On Wednesday
morning Mr.. Montgomery visited
US and gave a talk on Prepared
ness" The advice was invaluable,
and feel sure that if each student
would take the lesson to his own
heart he would always be ready
when the testing time came. On
Thursday morning DR.. Jones, MIR.
Montgomery and Professor Fair
cloth came to the chapel. Profes-
sor Faircloth helped US with our
singing and DR.. Jones conducted
the devotional exercises. He read
the Love chapter from the Bible,
and made a very beautiful talk.
Again, in behalf of the sch9ol, let
me say how grati6ed we are by the
interest these men take in our
school, and urge others to exhibit
the same spirit during these last
few weeks of school.

Uncle CIV" Writes.

Half-past nine o'clock, Saturday
morning, and now for short talk
through the Advertiser with friends
and loved ones in Edgefeld and
Mccormick counties.
Am just in from the field. Been
cutting bushes. so that when we get
there with the hoes we will not have
them to cut-and it sure helps the
looks of the field as we'll as saves
time in hoeing.
5'Tis getting pretty dry down here.
Had no rain now in about three
weeks. Cotton about ready to
chop, most of the first planting of
corn plowed, or rather narrowed.
Some few are chopping cotton where
it was planted before the big rain
three weeks ago. don't think
there is as much cotton planted in
this section as last year. A few
have not finished planting. Spring
oats beginning to need rain. There
are no fall sown oats, all were killed,
and wheat as general thing, rather
thin to make anything like a full
crop.
Last Sunday there was quite a

run or hide, bat their stay was so
short that it seems more like a

w. A. Howle and S. L. Roper,
two of Co. I. have passed away, and
two better soldiers [ never knew.
Can nearly count the survivors of
Co. l. on one hand, and not for
long will any of US be here AS to
which of us will be called next to
answer the last roll call, none of us
know; but there is one thing we can
know, and that is to be ready when
it does come. I was told by man
just a few days ago that he was
told by an old soldier that there
was but four old soldiers in the
county in which | live. l knew
only one of them-and he is nearly
so years old and very feeble.
Just let me shake hands with

Good Union Meetinggat Ebenez-

to Spend Summer
in New York.

We are all feeling so much re-
freshed by the shower of rain Sun
day night. Vegetation is holding
up its head and taking on new
growth.
We were glad to see our little
neighborhood so well represented at
the union meeting at Ebenezer
church Sunday Among those who
went were Mr.. and Mrs. A. A.
Wells, Mrs. Jesse Grafton and son,
Mr.. Ernest Ryan and sister, Miss
Una, Mr.. aud Mrs. j. M. Mays and
two SONS, John and Fred, taking
with them MIR. Claude Harris of
Pleasant Lane. We do not recall
when we were met with such big
hearted, hospitable people as we
were Sunday at Ebenezer. We
arrived in time to hear Mr.. ]. H.
Courtney give the Sunday school a
splendid talk of half an hour, after
which Rev. P. B. Lan6am preached
the missionary sermon, stresslng the
words DO unto others as you
would have them do unto you"
The sermon was greatly enjoyed by
all present.
After the sermon, to the delight
of all. Rev. Joseph A. Gaines, an
nounced dinner, extending press
ing invitation to all to partake
freely. We felt that we were not
among strangers anymore, to say
nothing of how beautifully we were
waited on and how refreshing it
was after the weary ride to be served
with delightful iceI tea. After
satisfying our hunger we cast our
eyes back at the tables and there
were still well filled baskets. We
could not help remarking that the
Trenton people do not know that
the; waysis on and that -four is sell

Mr.. and Mrs. G. A. Wells spent
Monday in Augusta, making the
trip in their car.
Mrs. Sam Miller who has been
quite sick for the past week Is much
improved to the great JOY of her
many friends.
Miss Addie Thompson left last
week for New York to spend the
summer.
Mr.. Fred Mays, Mr.. Claude Har;
ris and Mr.. Frank Miller were
happy callers at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. G, A. Wells Saturday
night.
Mrs. Jessie Grafton and son, Mr..
Claude Harris and Miss Una Ryan
and Mr.. Earnest Ryan motored to-
Aiken Sunday afternoon, making
the trip in Mrs. Crafton's new Ford.
We feel that we will have to give
that kind.hearted gentleman, Mr..
Earnest Ryan, credit for the trip,
as we could not have gone without
him.
Mrs. Carpenter of Georgia has
come 10 make her home permanently
with her two daughters, Mrs. j,
w. X. Smith and Mrs. L. Y. Bryan.
We welcome this highly esteemed
lady into our neighborhuod.
We see that Mr.. Levi Holmes is
still very brave boy, as his visits
are still often in tie home of Mr..

one who is brave enough to face a
mother-in-l and father-in.law can
face the Germans.
