Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union Hostess for
Teachers Reception.

The w. C. T. u, recognizing the
great power and influence of the
teacher in the class room over the
minds and hearts of children in the
plastic period of their life, has
sought to keep in close touch with
the schools and have shown appre.
citation of the teaching profession in
many and varied ways. Each year
the local union has entertained the
teachers at reception. This year
the occasion was celebrated at the
home of Mrs. J. L. Minis, when
eighty-fve guests were present. Elk
cept for the dust, the afternoon was
ideal and the program was full OF
interest.
Mrs. j. L. Minis greeted the
guests, at the door, and Mrs. I. H.
Rainsford and Mrs. Helen S. Nichol-
SON assisted in making all the mem
bers of the w. C. T. U. and other
guests acquainted with the faculty
of our school.
Edgefeld should be very proud,
in a proper sense, for the musical
telant which we have, as is shown
by the following programme, but
which the mere reading of the type
can not fully exemplify. Only those
who were present could feel it's
beauty and uplifting power.
In the greetings, Mrs. J. M.
Wright spoke of the desire on the
part of the U. D. c. to cooperate
with the cshool and Of her desire for
the correct teaching of Southern
history, also the past enthusiasm OF
the faculty in rendering assistance.
Mrs. Helen S. Nicholson very gra-
ciously made a spontaneous greet
ing for the D. A. R. in the absence
of the Regent, Mrs. Susan B. Hill.
Mrs. w. E. Lott represented the
Parent-Teachers Association who had
given to the school an elegant recep-
ton soon after the opening, and en-
that occasion she har welcomed them
but she said that u J claration Of
loving greetings CO. rot be too
often reiterated. o

IRIS SPEAKER MAY
BE DUNN'S SUCCESSOR
Cleveland Baseball Fans In Mourning
Because OF Death OF Popu-
lar Club Owner.

Cleveland, o., June 10.-All Cleve-
land baseball fans are mourning the
death of James c. Dunn, president os
the Cleveland baseball club. who be.
cause of his disposition had won the
appelation OF Sunny Jim. Upon re
ceipt OF the news of his death at Chi
cago yesterdays game between Cleve
land and Washington was postponed
and Mayor Fred Kohler ordered the
flag on city hall flown at half mast.
No club owner was more highly
esteemed by his players than Mr..
Dunn. 1t was pleasure for him to
mingle with his men and the athletes
found his company to be pleasantly
inspiring. Les Nunamaker and Jack
Graney, veteran players, and Clay
Folger head of the police force at
Dunn field, were delegated to rep.
resent the club at the funeral. They
left for Chicago last night.
IL is believed here that Mrs, Dunn
widow OF the dead man. will main.
tain her financial interest in the
baseball club. Should she decide to
do this she will be the first woman
club owner in the American league.
In this event ii is believed that
iris Speaker, manager of the In.
dians, or Tom Walsh of Davenport,
Ia. vice-president, will be named
president OF the club.
One of the first things James G.
Dunn did after assuming control OF
the Cleveland team in 1916 was Ia
purchase the release of iris Speaker
from the Boston Americans for $50,
600, a record price at that time, an,
nouncing at the same time that
he was going to give Cleveland q

He fulfilled this promise In 1920
