the service last Sunday. Mr.. j. 81.

a most interesting manner data con.

We think the people are becoming
more interested and aroused to the
purpose for which War Savings
Stamps stand, placing each of US as
it does in an easy position to help
win in this great world war, and may
none of us be slackers. Old Edgefeld
must do her bit. +!
While this war is cruel, our dear
Heavenly Father in mercy calls US us
to cease from sin and wickedness,
and come back to the better and nob-
ler things of life which the multi
itudes, seemingly had overlooked. And
now things seem more to indicate
that God is supreme. When the world
realizes the truth then will come the
dawning; yes, the great struggle for
the sake of righteousness will have
ended. '--"'- -
We believe that this war, even with
all it's horrors and sadness will be the
means of bringing many souls to our
Savior and will make US better peo-
ple. Hence, the world will be better
place in which to live. 5
We feel that there are those who
will be constrained to subscribe more
to War Savings Stamps since our old
county has not reached its quota
because that means only a fraction
over two dollars per capita.
Aid your children like this MOTH
er who took two of her little boys, the
Ieldest not eleven, and let them scrub,
giving each room, and then giving
them the War Savings Stamps. This
lis a beantifpl method by which ol1s
children can be taught economy, me
dustry and self-denial, all of which
must come in the formation of char
acter.
The relatives and friends of Mr..
O.Neal Zimmerman of Towns, Ca,
formerly of this section, have extend
ed warm welcome to him during his
STAY of two weeks. Marked attention
has been given him by his friends,
both young and old.
MIR. William Bailey, another OF
our former neighbors, but now re-
siding near Callison, who has just re-
turned from Columbia, having been
before the naval board for examlna-
ton, came down to visit his old
friends before his departure for mill
tary training. Tillman has many
warm friends here and elsewhere
who are extending their best wishes
to him.
Mr.. and Mrs. Joe Hamilton were
the guests last Sunday of Mr.. and
Mrs. Lamb, worshipping at Red Ook
Grove. Mr.. Hamilton subscribed a
thousand dollars for his school dis
trict for War Savings Stamps.
Mr.. Willie McManus, also his moth
er of Edgefeld have been on visit
to the latter's mother, Mrs. Maggie
Grifis.
Mr.. ]. T. Grifis brought to our
home the first watermelons we have
had this season. He enjoys most to
share his melons with his neighbors.
Mr.. Bruce Zimmerman had as his
guests last Saturday night quite a
gathering of his friends in honor of
Mr.. Tillman Bailey and Mr.. O'Neal
Timm
Mrs. G. w. Bussey and Mrs. Lamb
spent last Thursday with Mrs. j. e.
Harvley at Modoc, whose health is
now such that her friends have urged
her to take period of rest at Glenn
Springs.
We have had with US this week
Rev. G. W. Bussey, doing PASTORAL
visiting. During his stay he was call
ed to Modoc to preach the funeral
of the little girl of Mr.. and Mrs.
Land of North Carolina. Though on
ly two months old, the short stay
made the going away of the little
babe severe shock to its fond par
ents. Our hearts go out to them in
their bereavement.
