Am Expression OF Appreciation

We can not refrain from giving an
expression of appreciation to the
many people of Edgefeld town and
county who have helped us in our
time of sorrow by their thoughtful
ness and sympathy. They have been
SO many and varied that we take this
means of saying that we thank you
every one, and would not be satisfied
that any loving deed or word should
90 unnoticed. Your goodness and low
ing sympathy, we trust shall not go
unrewarded by our Heavenly Father.
Mrs. w. B. Cogburn and family.

snow-capped mountains, forests of

Among the most exquisite sights
was the Morning Glory Pool, which
looked like liquid blue morning
glory magnifed. Irregular edges and
. deep center extending far into the
earth might have made one expect
perfume to rise from it, did not the
sulphur which lies in all these streams
and springs change any such idea.
Another pool which was useful as
well as beautiful was the Handker-

iron rod attached to the side of the
pool with chain put there for the

riding along, l was surprised to see
omnibuses stopping along a road
where there seemed to be nothing OF

stopped, and l looked up to see a
black bear standind up. on its hind
