A number o. daughters met at
the Red Cross rooms for their regu-
lar monthly meeting on Tuesday,
May 18th. Mrs. E. P. Jones, our
president, presided. There were no
minutes as the secretary was absent.
A report from the treasurer show
ed quite a nice balance in the bank
and the daughters decided to make a
contribution to the Red Cross from
their Auxiliary.
Mrs. Wodson gave a report from
the District Conference at Allendale
which showed that the Edgefield
Chapter was ahead in gifts to Edu-
cational purposes and second in
size of gift for the Wade Hampton
bed at Neuelly, France. A report

showing that twenty-five beds valu-
ed at $4,000 had been endowed in
Hospital No. l at Neuilley, France
by the Daughters of the Confederacy.

Eleanor Minis; LIST Vice, Pres, Helen
Nicholson; End Vice Pres, Fitzmau-
rice Byrd; Secretary, Isabel Byrd;
Treasurer, Gertrude Thurmond. Miss
Marjorie Tompkins has signified her
willingness to assist the Director in
her duties with this Chapter, a no
tiee of which was made at this meet
ing.
A card from our District Presi-
dent thanked us for a contribution
of twelve dollars toward the pur-
chase Of a Liberty Bond for the Dis
trict, which was effected, Mrs. Black
having received six dollars more than
the asked for $4,000. Our next
meeting will be on the End Tuesday
in June and will be a very important
one. All members are urged to be
present as our election of officers
will be held. Our Chapter will dis
band for the summer after the June
meeting, and in addition to the cleo
ton of officers there r other mat
tiers of Importance to be taken up.
The work of the Auxiliary to the
Red Cross is very encouraging, Thurs
day being the afternoon on which
they go to the work rooms.

First Division w. M. U. Sustains
Loss

The sad news was sent to Edge
field on Tuesday morning early OF
the passing of our beloved co-worker
in the Woman's Missionary Union,
Mrs. B. N. Talbert at her home near
Mccormick Monday night.
Mrs. Talbert was Miss Sallie Nc
Cain before her marriage and was
reared in the Bethany community
where she has been one of the mos
enthusiastic and successful workers
in her church, Sunday School and
in the mission society. AS leader OF
the Sunbeam Band at Bethany, the
children were the Honor Roll society
of the association. Besides this Mrs
Talbert encouraged the other socle-
ties of young people in her church
AS division president, she was very
successful and full of a holy zeal not
often seen.
As a mother and wife, she reached
the ideal, and as a hostess IN her
home, she was the soul of hospltall-
tv. She will be greatly missed by the
Woman's Missionary Union of Edge
field Association.
A floral design was sent by the
Associational w. M. U. as a small
tribute to her memory. The sympa'
thy of all our women goes out tc

Card From "Uncle w."
Dear Advertiser,

Dear AQVerCISei,
I sent you a letter or article, which
ever you may term it, on the Attn
inst, and write to ask you to correct
an error. In speaking of Jobs reply
to his wife, l referred to Job, 1915
when it should have been Job 2:1O.
Please make correction.
I would like so much to be with
the old soldiers on the 10th, but the
condition of my family is such that
l don't see how 1 can. But want you,
yes, you or Cush Sheppard to give
them my love. Yes, l mean it, my
love.
The older and nearer | come to
the Great Divide, the better l love
them. While at the burial of my
daughter, as we followed the body
to the grave, it so happened that my
soldier boy, Lafayette B. Morgan,
Co. B. 117th M. G. Bn., Camp Vince
Ter, Macon, Ga, and l were walking
side by side, he a young man just
entering into what l passed through
from Sept. 1862 to April, 1865, and
this thought came to me. Yes, l am
now "a or nearly so, old, gray head
ed and feeble, but the same God
still reigns, and if He brought me
out safe, He can do the same for my
son. >,
Excuse what I have written, l just

is ready in August. See how long
