Death of MIR. Lawrence Covar
Boston, Mass.

>Early Monday morning Mr.. Law
renee Covar died this home in Edge
field. He was sick but short time.
The weight of years having borne
so heavily upon him that he was un-
able to resist disease, being one of
the oldest persons in Edgefeld. Mr..
Covar rendered valuable sevice in
the War Between the States, wearing
upon the lapel of his coat Confed-
crate Cross of Honor. Mr.. Covar was
twice married. By his first marriage
he is survived by one son, Mr.. John
Covar, of Trenton. He leaves his
second wife and two small children
in the bcreaved home. The funeral
was conducted Tuesday afternoon
from the Baptist church, of which he
was a member.

After the program the hostess, as,
sisted by Miss Betty Waters, served
delicious pineapple charlotte with
pound cake, and pleasant while was
spent.
The favors were cards with the
U. D. C. emblem and bearing the red
letter dates.
A beautiful marriage took place
here at high noon in the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Joe Cox, the happy couple
being Miss Lucille Yeomans, a sister
of the latter and Mr.. Walter Hines
of Jonesville, a prosperous planter
of this place.
The home was most artistically
decorated, branches of the pine and
wood flowers being used.
The ceremony was performed un-
der a bower formed Of the pines, and
was a. lovely scene.
Rev. David Kellar spoke the sol
emn words that made the twain as
one, and during the ceremony soft
music was heard.
The bride was lovely in an ex-
quisite costume of white crepe
meteor, with veil and real orange
blossoms and carried shower bou-
quet.
Following the ceremony, good
wishes and congratulations, an elab-
crate repast was served.
Later the bride donned her travel
ing suit of midnight blue tricolette,
with all accessdfies in harmony, and
amid a shower of good wishes, the
happy pair left for a northern tour
of month.

So when this sweet songster took
it's flight, I thought of Henry Grady's
speech in, the city of Boston, just af-

sibilities of the South while she was
bleeding at every pore.
He compared the South to a wound

flickering lamp came along and stoop-

an examination one said 70 the other
in low breath, eff he can live until

left him. He watched the glimmering

Miss Florence Minis Writes
From Boston.
Dear Advertiser:

4
If every city had as much respect
for the relics of it's early beginnings
as Boston there might be museums
on almost every street corner, as
there are here. I visited the last
building of particular interest which
I had not previously seen, this after
noon, the original State House OF
Town House of Boston, but a COM
paratively short distance from the
gold domed capital that now over
looks the city from Beacon Hill.
The early settlers expressed them
selves in their architecture. 1t was
austere and substantial. I always feel
as though the carpenter of New Eng
land had left his job incomplete when
there is no friendly porch to meet
you half way. The roof, however, is
ornate enough with several dormer
windows along the side and little
tower on the top with tiny old fash
ioned windows. A lion and a unicorn
face each other on one end of the
roof. / think these quaint things,
mementoes of such a past make any
one with an imagination stop and
look while, for it is in sharp con-
trast to the purely commercial edi'
fees that surround it and tower far
above, though there are no sky
scrapers, for strange to say, Boston
has none of these.
When you enter, all the outside
traffic is shut from your mind for
these walls, ancient themselves, re-
place the original building which was
erected less than fifty years after the
Mayfower landed at Plymouth.
There is nothing so modern as an
elevator to be seen, but carved stair
way that extends above in dizzy
spirals and leads to curious keep
sakes of old pictures mostly Of ear
ly Boston and her heroes an'
several grave stones -.
English inscriptions 'f!. -
lingly early dates, lii
ity five.
Near the stairway saase a,G
raj tablet recounting mons -
with which the old ST iU.a ,
associated and saying H. 70 otner
things that "Here the child, Inde-
pendence, was born" Since Boston
is thought to be the cradle of liberty
the statement seems true enough.
Strange that beneath this paticu-
lar building, there is subway sat
tion land trains rumble and people
rush madly beneath this "dim place
of almost forgotten things"

The coming of Mr.. and Mrs. j. M
Bussey and family into our midst
has not only been pleasant, but the

Sunday school has been seed sowing
whose harvest will develop in ages

Our school closes at Flat Rock in

planning a real treat for the children.
Mr.. George Bussey has been sum-

leader, Miss Ruth Zimmerman, hopes
to make up the time by meeting Of

means more for the study as the in
terest is kept up better by not hav-
ing the meetings so far apart.
We always regret to learn of mis-
fortune, and loss especially by fire,
as that is hard to recover, for the
losses keep coming up. AS the days
go by one will be reminded anew by
the missing of things that were burn
ed, which can not be replaced.
