Notwithstanding the fact that his fowls Bold for enormous prices, two or three times what others asked, he has lost several thousand dollars each year on the enterprise. The figures as given out by the department of agriculture place the yield of corn for the present year.at 2,881,096,000 bushels or an average of 30.2 bushels per acre as compared with an average yield of 28.8 bushels last year. If Edeelield farmers could grow corn that would average 30 bushels per acre they would soon be roll ing in wealth. The income tax will put oever al thousand dollars in the state treasury .this year.

Upon The Death of Mrs. Emma Auld. .Whereas, m the dispensation pf his divine providence, God has removed from the sphere of her duties on earth our beloved co worker Emma Z. Auld.'aud where as, we desire to give expresLion to the love and honor in which she was held by us during her life, as well as to our sense of bereave ment at her death, and the fond reverence in which her memory ?hall always remain with us, Now be it resolved: 1st. That in Mrs. Emma Auld . our church had a consecrated, faithful and zealous member, our society a president entirely de voted to the work of Christ, and our community a noble, cultured and gifted woman. In her church life she was an active and effi E cient member, above reproach. As president of our society she stimu Jated'and led UB to succees, and as a.member of our community she not only ministered to the needy and nursed the sick, but uplifted us by the dignity of her charac ter, her culture and intellectual force. r 2nd. That in her death our church and society have suffered x loss that can only be sustained by the kuowlodge that her inf u ence remains, and shall ever live and grow more beautiful. Each of BS has lost a friend whose heart was warm and true, and whose memory shall ever help ud to fol- J low in the path of light where shs? ( lias walked. ? 3rd. That we extend to her be- * waved children and family our sincere and heartfelt sympathy, and assure them. that as she was * .ur friend, faithful and true, so c shall we be their friend, united ? by ? sacred tie..tbat. can never be t ?evered. t }'lj4\b.

Early in the year Dr. CE. Burtp, seeing the unkimpt and neglected condition of the village cemetery, conceived the idea of holding a floral fair in the fall in order to raiBe money with which to improve the cemetery. His sug gestion was timely and met with an enthusiastic response from a number of ladies in the communi ty who immediately organized the Edgefield Chrysanthemum KBBO ciation. It wa'i in this way that the agitation of chrysanthemum culture and the holding of a fall fair began. From house to house the chrysanthemum fever spread like contagion, subsiding at times for a season ouly to burst forth later, with increased intensity. Neighbor seemed to vie with neighbor as to who would order the greatest variety and greatest number of plants. Florists nor'b, south, east and west received large orders from Edgefield, Berckmans nursery being soon exhausted. The interest and enthusiasm were still more intensified by the announcement of the list of valua ble prizes which were donated by some of Edgefield's very generous merchants, as well as some from other sources. Each grower, of course, hoped and expected to win not only one but the entire list of prizes. And it was this hope which caused many an erstwhile indifferent florist to be very dilligent in feeding and water ingand fondling their much petted plants. Finally the day for holding the fair-November the 9tb-was an nounced. Then it was that anxiety, suspense, and what the lawyers call "mental anguish", set in. Every contestant was confident of victory, yet they were all a little apprehensive and nervous because of the reported size aud beauty of the flowers of Miss or Mrs. So and-so. Very Creditable Exhibits, Tbe committee of arrangements was promptly ou band Friday morniug .to re?oive aud place th? exhibits in their proper places as they were brought iu. When the great crowd of people arrived tbey w?re amazed, astounded and en raptured by the beautiful scene that greeted their eyes. Nobody expected te Bee so large and variprf a collection of fine JJc^r^p^ftow er8 ^^^Hc^&^e.,, One of tQ?ff?fa has said that "Leaves .L!ave their time to fall and flowers to wither", but great is the pity that such a3 these should ever wither. They bear the marks of Divinity and to gaze upon such flowers causes ono to reflect upou the Master's Hand that created them. Never did any one dream that it was possible for Edgefield soil to produce such tremendous and perfectly formed flowers, this, too, in the face of very adverse con ditions and inexperience of the growers. Don't Believe Them. Some* ^dayp ago great tales of woe could be heard on every hand because of the damoge done to chrysathemums by the cold. And a3 we Btood feasting our eyes upon the lovely flowers on Friday we could not understand why such 8Utement,8.aa^Le^^Jbad'j accountable reason the words ot the .Psalmist said in my haste, All men are JiarF," and we thought that David should have said also that "All women (chrysanthemum grow ers) are liars." Next year when you hear any grower of chrysan themums-either male or fe male-say their flowers are not worth looking at, don't you be lieve a single syllable of it. Splendidly Managed. Everyone was impressed with the very excellent manner in which the fair was managed in all of its details. At times some little confusion may have been in evidence but it was due chiefly to the crowded condition of the court house. The various contests were all fairly and impartially conducted. There being no names upon the exhibits, all prizes were awarded by numbers. Consequent ly it was impossible lor any one to charge that partiality or fa voritism was shown. Floral Designs. The entries in the contest of designs were not so numerous ae many supposed they would be. It is probable that a greater number would havo been on exhibition bad it not. been for the flowers and time that were consumed in deco rating a dozen or more baby car riages for the parade. There were only four designs in tbe contest: ' A. crescent, by M?B. E. S. John- ( jon ; a floral basket, by Mrs. E. E. Adams; star and crescent, by Mr. Asa G. Broadwater and an ' mchor, by Mrs. Abner Broad water. The last two named were ?xcecdingly beautiful' and won 5rst and second prizes, respect ively. This contest should be ' nade especially attractive next ' rear, so as to iurluce those to ? inter who may not be fortunate mough to grow large or prize winning flowers.' Capable, Conscientious Judges. The members, of the association were peculiarly fortunate iu se aring so competent a committee >f judges to iuspect the flowers in he several coutests and award he prizes. The committee was ?ompo8ed of Mrs. John W. Miller, if Trenton; Mrs. P. B. Mayson. ?f Edgefield; Mrs. Minnie Mil ord, of Anderson ; Mrs. Charles !\ Peschman. of Johnston, and ?apt. E. H. Folk, of Edgefield. ?rs. S. T. Hughes, of Trenton, vas also invited to be one of tbe udges but was unable to be pr ?pt. All of the judges, heine not m ly well versed in flower lore )ut themselves very successful "rower?, were eminently fitted for :he .difficult task tbnt waa as signed them. Cap*. Folk with his faultless tape measured those red and pink and white and golden balls with the precision and ex actness that a gunner finds bis range wheu in che midst of a deadly naval battle. Decorated Carriage Contest. The eclipsing feature ot the 02 casiou was the contest in which a prize was awarded for the most beautifully decorated baby car riage. Tue committee of judges doubtless had difficulty in ar riving at some of their '.leeitioiiS in the fo?euoon but now they were up against not only a difficult but very hazardous preposition. For tunately for them, this contest came in the afternoon at the close of the Fair, giving them an op portunity to leave town before the many disappointed mothers and fathers and grand mothers and grand fathers and uncles aud auuts assaulted them with mur derous intent. The little contest ants, all of whom looked as if they had jtiBt been transported from Fairyland, wer*4 little Ger trude Thurmond, Parker Talbert, Wallace Sheppard, Luther Jou^s, George Tompkins, Robert Ouzts, Lanham Dorn, Lilian Pattison and Eleanor Mime,- the last two being awarded the first and nec ond rrizes, rfsppctively. Little Helen Elizabeth Nicholson and little BomarBlalock arrived upon the scene with th' ir very beauti fully decorated carriages just as the parade bad closed and the prizes awarded. Their tardinps? was generally regretted. All of the carriages were very artistically decorated, but especially beaut i-' lui WHS that of lili]e Lilian Pat tison wh.-) was a veritable little Queen of the Fairies. Th? car-, riage of little Eleauor Mims was also very much admired, the decoration* being the handiwork of Mrs. Robert H. Mims. ! The Eazaar. A very attractive a'.'d helpful feature of lb" fuir, esJ>??Clally in u financial way, wag the Bazaar. The many useful and beautiful articles that were displayed upon the fancy-work t?bi?3 sold as readily us if they had been 111 ?op. the bargain counter oS^f^i':, r \ de\)*xun?^^ Tue' candy ' filter was also soon MU pty. About three .o'clock in the lifter^ uooL the lady teachers and the young ladies of the collage ar rived with a tremendous b?>x con taining little boxes of candy neatly tied with ribbon. Low ?ny and Huyler were dibtancec] by \h:i S. C. C. I. baud-made bon boi,s and chocolates. Luncheon Served. At the noon hour a delightful luncheon, . consisting of salads, sandwiches, ham, pickles, bread and coffee, vas served. The lad ie? piled their plates generously high, giving every hungry wayfarer his quartei's worth. After six o'clock oysters were served. A noted writer has said that "God seuds meat, and the Devil sends cook*." We are inclined lo believe that many of the cooks in Edgefield are di rectly under the dominion of his satanic majesty, but he did uot send the cooke on thi? occasion. The oysters wera delightfully pre ^H?m ysif? good .cooka'asl The Financial Side. The patient, unceasing efforts and the fond, hopes of the ladies of. the association have been crowned with fruition. The fair was a success from every stand point, but the most gratifying part of it all was the financial success. The ladies netted eighty odd dollars which will aid very materially, in beautifying aud permanently improving the vil lage cemetery. The fair has not been without profit to some of th" chrysanthemum growers ut least. Nearly $100 worth of prizes, nil valuable aud useful, were present ed. The Social Side. Who-man, woman or child attended the fair and did not en joy it? Such an occasion brings together neighbors and friends from frr and near, and affords a day of pleasaut and profitable so cial intercourse. The Edgefield sbr'ysauthemums "of every hun and without a ihnrn" were not 'born to blusb unseen," for Re hoboth, Trenton, Johnston, Har mony and adjacent communities For miles around were represent ed in the vast throng that feas'ed heir eyes upon them. The Outlook for 1907. Could the outlook for the sec )nd annual fa?r possibly be bright ?r? Everybody has larger expe dience and increaacd enthusiasm; jen. Carwile has already stated bat his geuerous company will igaiu donate fertilizer as a prizo. The louvt house was scarcely arge enough tbie year and will )e eutirely too small .for the fair )f 1907, but Col. Bailey has very tinclly offeied the collage to the adies, which is an ideal place. ,et'p begin work now for the uexr air by encouraging everybody to jrow flowers.
