D. C. for the sea son, was held on Tuesday after noon at the home of Mrs. Bettis Cantelou, Mrs. N. G. Evans, presi ding. As it was a meeting of im portance, a large number of the members were present. The histori cal programme was centred around the life of Jefferson Davis, a poem being read by Mrs. li. A. Marsh and a short sketch by Mrs. P. P. Blalock. A report of the acting historian Mrs. Agatha Woodson was read, and by request she gave the names of all the boys who went out from Edgefield to the wai*, 18 years of age and under. There were about one hundred and fifty recorded. After the historical programme was completed the election of offi cers took place, and resulted as fol lows: Mrs. J. D. Holstein, presi dent, Mrs. N.

Arrangements have been comple ted for a very attractive lyceum for Edgefield. The season will open early in October with a lec ture by George R. Stuart of Ten nessee. Unusually strong attrac tions h ive been engaged for the en tire course. Many of the small towns are unable to contract for high priced attractions because of the comparatively small number who patronize the entertainments. The course has been made possible here by a committee of representa tive citizens who guaranteed the payment of the amount required for the course. Ernest E. Padgett is secretary and treasurer of the com mittee. Electric Lights Turned On. There will be no more dark nights in Edgefield, ?.t least not un less some accident befalls the newly installed electric light plant. As the result of an election held early last fall, bonds to the amount of ?15,000 were issued iot tho pur pose of installing a plant to be owned and operated by the town. The unfavorable weather of the winter and frequent rains in the early spriiig so delayed the work that not until Monday was the work on the plant completed. The streets were all lighted Mon day night for the first time. It appears now that the plant will prove to be entirely' satisfactory. When the wiring is completed the town will be well lighted on the principle streets the lights being at close intervals- The work of wir ing residences, stores and other bu siness places is being carried for ward as.rapidly aa possible, and in a short time the plant will be ope rated to its full capacity.

A woman entered Cossitt library the other day and solicited the as sistance of a desk clerk. "I am searching for a book calk ed The Dentist's Infirmary," she said. The president of our literary club told me to get it. "The Dentist's Infirmary?" re peated the clerk with a rising in flection, vainly trying to associate such a book with a study class. "Yes," replied the woman- ''It's all about devils and angels and such like." The light of understanding dawned on thc puzzled face of the clerk. "Oh, you mean Dante's Inferno."
