DIPPY DOPE. Card of Thanks. I desire to extend my thanks to rthe good people of Limestone for the kindness extended my daughter, Mrs. Bessie Lanier, during her re cent illness and death. Words fail to convey my expression of heart felt thanks for your many kindness es, but we shall always remember you with the kindliest feelings. Mrs. L. S. McLendon. A Capable Railroad Official. Mr. W. E. McGee, the assistant .passenger agent of the Southern Railroad, with his headquarters in "Columbia, spent several hours in Edgefield Friday afternoon on busi ness connected with his department. Mr. McGee is deservedly very popu lar and by his persistent efforts has increased the volume of business in his department in the territory which has been assigned him. The summer?travel?to the mountains have been unprecedentedly heavy. Mr. McGee's Edgefield friends hope to see him here again soon. A Citizen of Sterling Qualities. Mr. J. P. Sullivan paid The Ad vertiser a pleasant visit last Satur day. In addition to being a success ful farmer of progressive ideas Mr. Sullivan is a right-thinking:, public spirited citizen. He came to Edge field Saturday to confer with Su perintendent of Education W. W. Fuller concerning the erection of a large modern school house in his school district. The patrons have decided to call it the Sullivan school in honor of Mr. Sallivan who has been unceasing in his efforts to build up a good strong school in vthe community. Chamber of Commerce to Meet.

It is specially desired that all members be present as matters of much importance will be brought before the ch imber by reports of committees an ! otherwise.

Miss Battle Will Sing Evening of September 9. The ladies of the library associa tion and the guiid of the Episcopal church are jointly preparing a beau tiful entertainment to be presented September 9. With these two combinations Edgefield may look forward to something good. Every effort is being made to make this entertainment a grand success. The best talent has been secured. The first on the program will be the Anvil Chorus sung by the gyp sies from that beautiful opera, Il Trovatore. Two anvils will ring out struck by the strong arms of Capt. N. G. Evans and Mr. Willis Duncan. In this scene Miss Mar garet Battle as Azucena.will sing as the gypsies gather around lier. Miss Battle leads the Presbyterian choir in Augusta and has one of the most beautiful voices in the South. Be sides singing in the choir she takes the most prominent parts in all of the musical entertainments in the city. At a great deal of expense the ladies have been fortunate enough to secure this beautiful singer and it is hoped their efforts will ba appreciated and that they will be given a full house. The next on the program will be an Egyptian scene, then a song by Miss Battle. After this comes the sextette from Floradora sung by six young ladies and six young men. This will be very attractive and will be sure to bring an encore. Between acts Mr. and Mrs. Brooks Mayson with the violin and piano will play some of the old sweet music we all love so well. The last on the program will be a short play, "The Burglar's Alarm." This play will be enjoyed. It is full of humor and very taki?g. Cast of characters: The heroine of the play is Miss Ruth Tompkins as Violet; Miss Mary, maiden aunt of Violet, Miss Georgia Mae Wates; Miss Martha, maiden aunt of Vio let, Miss Jennie Johnson; Bridgett, the cook, Miss Hortensia Woodson; Tilly Craig, the stagestruck maid, Miss Florence Peak; Jack, Violet's lover, Mr. Wad Allen. Reserved seats 50 cents; general admission, 35 cents; 25 cents for children under tweive years of age. Seats on ?ale at Penn & Holstein's Notice to Musk Pupils. I desire to give notice that I will begin my masic clase the third week in September. Mrs. John R. Tompkins. Edgefield, S. C. Miss Battle. Miss Margaret Battle will de light all Edgefield with her beauti ful voice as Azueena in the anvil chorus. The ladies of the library association and Episcopal church are fortunate in securing such tal ent for their entertainment which is to be presented September 9. We copy the following from the Au gusta Chrouicle/'Miss Margaret Bat tle needs no introduction to a pub lic that has already proved on every opportunity its admiration of her wonderfully beautiful voice." "Ternina of New York spoke in the highest praise of Miss Battle's voice." "Miss Margaret Battle leads the Presbyterian choir, one of the finest in the south." Historic Old Company Re organized. At a meeting Friday afternoon the Edgefield Rifles were formally re-organized by the election of the following commissioned officers: W. J. Duncan, captain; W. C. Tompkins, first lieutenant, and W. A. Collett, second lieutenant. The non-commissioned ofiicers will be appointed as soon as the required number of men enlist. Already more than 30 meu have enrolled and it is certain the necessary num ber can be secured. The company is well officered and we expect to see it prosper. The people general ly are deeply interested and will give the Rifles more generous sup port than they have in the past. The governor will do doubt re-in state the company at once. DIPPY DOPE. Young Woman's Auxiliary. One of the things which I look forward to as a Y. W. A. member is the meeting of that body of girls every other week. We were very pleasantly entertained at the home of Florence .Mims last Monday af ternoon. The attendance was bet ter than'usual and the parlor was filled with bright, pretty girls, a sight that is pleasing, especially when they are gathered together for such a noble purpose. The program as usual was of the kind that enabled several of the girls to take part. The occasion afforded a whil*? for chatting, as girls are prone to de, after the meet ing. The refreshments, I think, truly refreshed every one, for what is there more cooling than an ice? We were also honored by haying a number of Edgefield's visitors. A Member. j Death of Mrs. H. H. Sanders. For several weeks our communi ty has been greatly depressed on ac count of the serious illness of Mrs. H. H. Sanders, and when she calm ly and peacefully passed away Fri day morning at nine o'clock there were many expressions of sorrow and profound sympathy for her de voted husband. Before her marriage Mrs. Sanders was Miss Mattie Plunkett, having descended from an old and honored Aiken family. She and Mr. Sanders cime to Edgefield to make their home about 15 years ago. Both of them made friends rapidly and soon occupied a prominent place in thc community life. They have always been held in high esteem by the peo ple of the entire community. Though quiet, gentle and modest, Mrs. Sanders was a woman of un usual strength and force, being not only a devoted companion lo her husband but being also of valuable assistance to him in conducting his business interest". The scattering of sunshine along the pathway of oth ers seemed to be one of Mrs. San ders' ohief delights. She always had a smile and some kindly remark for those with whom she met, making them feel happier by reason of hav ing I 'fen in her presence. She was an a<- ive member of the Baptist churi .i and, in company with r husband, she always attended church cervices regularly, incl ig the m M-week prayer meeting. The i iterment took place Satur day af ti moon at Mount Pleasant, a Baptist church near her former home five miles south of Ridge Spring. The funeral service was conducts 1 by. Rev. J. R. Walker. The Advertiser joins a host of friends in extending profound sym pathy to tue bereaved husband who has been left alone in the home. They have ao children living. Despondency.

One of the happiest occasions of the Rehoboth oommnnity was the birthday party of Marion, the only child of Mr. and Mrs. VV. A. Winn. In their hospitable home on Tues day afternoon August 19, they de lightfully entertained a number of little folks in honor of Marion's sixth birthday. Promptly at three o'clock the guests arrived and were invited bv Misses Annie Lou Morgan, and Mary and Maggie Winn down to the cool and shady spring to play games which they enjoyed very much. They were then invited into the dining room which was beautifully decorated, the color scheme being pink and white, where refreshments were served. The birthday cake looked as if mother earth had been covered with snow flakes and icicles clinging up on a large mound, and bad written the initials M. E. W. in raised let ters where the snow had drifted upon it, and to glance at it with its six snow white candles burning so brightly seemed as if the sun was just sinking behind the western ho rizon. Nothing but artistic skill could have had things decorated and ar ranged so lovely. The guests on this pleasant oc casion were Marguerite Luxeraber ger and Angela Heinnesey of Green ville, Florence and Gertrude Cul breath, Carrie Lou Strom, Mary Luda Hughey of Rehoboth; Ruth Wash, of Park6ville; Connie Coch ran, Ellen and Annie May Cul breath, Mary Julia Paris and Cor nelia Winn, of Plum Branch; John nie Williams and Carl Luxember ger of Greenville; William Wash, of Parksville; Boat and Edward Strom, Lewis Coleman, Willie and Strom Culbreath, of Rehoboth; Tom Seigler, Lewis Otis, Patrick, Carl Williams, Robert and Carroll | Winn of Plum Branch. As the golden sun was setting they bade Marion adieu on that hap py afternoon, and their mothers and fathers carried them safely home, and put them in that little beds for a sweet night's rest.
