Students Entertainment.

j ~ ~~N~
voted to the young students of our
county was that all of our young men
and women should thus be enabled
to keep the touch with the home
folks, with our county as the unit.
There are young people who grow
up and go to college or are students
and who secure positions or are mar
ried in other localities whose attain
ments the people of the county at
large never know. 1t has been said re-
Gently, that the great Bishop Nc
Tyeire of the Methodist church was
born in Edgefeld county, but he
went away and the place of his ma
,,tivity is not known. There was no op-
'portunity to link him in everlasting
memory with all the people of his
county, so that they might enjoy his
upward progress and help to speed
him on.
The women's organizations of
Edgefeld hope to institutionalize this
idea of a students entertainment
each summer and thus introduce to
the general public all the young peo-
pie with their varied accomplish
ments.
Last year the W. C. T. U. held the
first students entertainment in the
Opera House and everybody was
pleased. Last year they were all
young ladies, because our country
was at war. This time the Daughters
of the American Revolution have de-
cided to supervise an entertainment
which will take place the evening of
June 26, in the Opera House and they
hope to have all the students from
colleges for men and women. There
are in our county, sixty-two stu
dents attending colleges and Univer-
sites.
Mrs. Tillman has taken much care
to secure this list by correspondence
and otherwise, and it is possible there
may be others whose name has not
been secured. If so, let some friend
or relative or the students themselves
notify Mrs. Tillman, Regent of the
Edgefeld D. A. R. at once, as plans
are in progress for the 5ertainment.
Everybody is j. asted in the
young people Of county, and
should come and what they do, en-
courage them and the subject of edu-
cation. They should induce all the
young people to attend who are not
students, that they may become
stimulated with a proper ambition
to undertake similar accomplish
ments.
All students who have Esprit de
Corps, all who have any college pride
or loyalty should come and represent
their alma mater. If you are the only
student in Edgefeld county from an
institution of learning, it is all the
more incumbent on you to come and
be the representative of the school
which has been your choice. If there
are dozen from your county in the
school you attend, see that all are
present to prove it's popularity and
the reasonableness of it to the public.
At any rate, come when you are call
ed upon to be present and take part
with the sixty-one other students
whose names follow.
The admission to this entertain
ment will be so, 35 and rs cents and
will be used for a purpose for which
everybody in our county will be re-
joiced to give, a memorial tablet for
our dead heroes lying in Flanders
Fields. This tablet will be erected on
the Edgefeld Court House.
Our people will be given happy
opportunity to contribute to this
cause, and will be rewarded by hav-
ing the tablet erected and at the same
time encourage the cause of educa-
ton and see more beauty and chival-
ry together than they ever saw be-
fore, the sons and daughters of their
neighbors and friends and their own
sons and daughters, wearing their
prettiest and most becoming apparel
and actually doing the things they
have studied at college.
Just before the entertainment, the
students will be served with an out
door luncheon at the home of Mrs.
Mamie N. Tillman, this luncheon to
be served by the young peoples So
cieties of the churches of Edgefeld.
