We take this meaus of express ing our profoundest thanks and grateful appreciation to our kind aud thoughtful neighbors and the people of Edgefield for their many acts of kindness to us and to our beloved daughter, Mabel, during her long illness. MR. & MRS. J. P.BURNETT. Herc is the Ticket. The following named geutlemen are nominated and will be sup-; ported at the Municipal election for the town of Edgefield on Mon day next, 14th inst. : FOR MAYOR: W. W. ADAMS. FOR WARDENS: J. L. CAUGHMAN, B. J. CROOKER, E. H. FOLK, C. E. MAY, E. J. MIMS, J. P. OUZTS. VOTERS. Biscuit and Forage. McCormick Binders, Mowers and Rakes are called 44 the best on earth." Their 1902 harvester?, with baif a dozen improvements, .it seems has leached perfection. Their mower has a reaping attach ment to cut grain where crop is too small for a binder. As far as we ."know, thin is tue only company I hat keeps a supply of repairs with its agen*. Otherwise to have to order a 'eu cents piece would stop your work two or three days. Mr. E. J. Norris is their agent at Edge- . field and is LOW getting up a car load. Write bim. The Village Cemetery. For years the neglected condi tion of the village cemetery was a reproach to this community. With the exception of a few well kept squares it was given Up io briars weeds aud bushes. It has been ^regularly - atti udsd to, however, since the town authorities assum ed its keeping. The gates and walls that are down should be replaced to keep out stray cows etc, that may chance to go that way. The new cemetery, as it is called, is very much neglected. We do rot know the status of it or in whose keep ing it is. Immediate steps should be taken to improve the lot by re moving the back wall of the old cemetery, making one of the two which should be enclosed aud placed in the care and keeping of the town council. For Missions. On next Suuday morning at the Edgefield Methodist church the r.sual spring collection for Mis sions will be taken. This collec tion will be taken at McKendree on the third Surday and at Treu ton on the for.rth Sunday. The preacher in charge, who is charged by the law of the church with the laking of this collection, has tried to reach and to bring to the at tention of every member of the charge this important interest of tho church. If he has overlooked any he hopes that tb^y will not re taliate by overlooking the collec tion. Will not the three hundred and fifty members of Edgefield circuit manifest this love for their neigh bors, at home and abroad, sorely in need of the Gospel by giving an amount that shall atleaBt that the church deems the leartt amount it can afford to ask of them, viz : one hundred and thirty-eight dollars ? "I spesk not by commandment but * * * to prove the sincerity of your love. For ye know the vorace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye .through his poverty might become rich." The Little Pion leers. Tho pupils of the primary school wvtr at the academy [were given baif holiday on last Friday. Va rious sweet-meats had been pr-?par <?d by the mothers and were carri ed to school by the children as the regular lunch is carried and at noou all were spread ou a common table iu the academy grove. The students were seated on the ground around the table and were served by the teachers. One was remind ed, on seeing them, of the feeding ( f the multitude on the loaves aud fishes. We dare say, however, that 12 baskets were cot filled atter these ravenous school children bad finished. Table d'hote being over the girls romped and played whilfthe boys returned to their ?rst-love, the ball aud bat. The average school boy is a.! much at tached to the base ball diamond as the blushing bride is to her solitaire. The schoolchildren are indebted to their thoughtful teach ers for a very pleasant afteruonu picnic. Such occasions break the tedium and dispel the e.inui of school life. Vote ! . Vote ! ! Vote ! ! !
