Beautiful Tribute to Mrs. Day. No death throughout the entire community could have come as a greater shock or caused more genu ine heartfelt sorrow than that of Mrs. P. B. Day. Taken suddenly ill .on Saturday afternoon, she never regained consciousness and in the . calm'of Sunday night her sweet spirit took it flight and returned to the God who gave it. No wonder that Trenton mourns to-day the loss . of one whose |place will be hard to fill. In all church work she was a tower of strength, faithfully dis charging every trust imposed upon her. As wife and mother, she had no superior and few equals, her record is. of the highest, noblest, tenderest. Her four noble moral are splendid examples of her teach ings. By a peculiar charm of man ners she won her way into the hearts of all who knew her. She loved everybody and everybody in turn loved her. She was warmhearted, sympathetic, charitable, in all things gentle and lovable. True to her convictions she never faltered when duty called her, and the love she so justly won and deserved in life was beautifully evidenced at her death by the large concourse of relatives and friends who attended lier funeral and. in the numerous floral designs that covered her grave. If one branch of her work had pre eminence over the other, it was 'that of the temperance cause. She was a devoted member of the I W. C. T. U. and her heart ?.wrapped up in her work with the L. T. L. of which she was lead er. At one of the meetings recently she became somewhat discouraged, and when she mentioned this fact to one of the older boys who is just turning into young manhood,he said "'Miss Annie if your little band Tealized what your teachings along this line have done for me and what that pledge I signed has meant when temptations encounter me, they would tak(> more interest" and to the writer of these feeble words she said ' that i:ave me renewed courage and I shall gd on doing my best, for I feel that if I have saved one boy from the evil of drink I will not have lived in vain." Her love for little children was beautiful, thoughtful and tender and the out . "burst of grief among them was pa thetic. Th?y h.id heard her say that she wanted to die when the violets were,in bloom and remembering this, each child in school carried a j - bjooh of th?dd-h?T ^Svor?t? flower ?and as the body of dear "Miss An nie (as she was affectionately and lovingly known") was tenderly borrie into ?the church by her own noble sous and her nephews, each child silently and tearfully placed his or her offering of love on the casket. The tribute paid her by hei devoted rector, Rev. R. G. Shan nonhouse was touchingly beautiful and full of pathos. His regrets were not for her. but for himself and for all of us who need her and those who sit in the dark shadow of sor row. The memory of her beautiful - character and loving kindness will be to her family and those who loved her a priceless recollection. Let us thank God for her precious life and may it be a guide post to others in their journey along life's pathway. '4You ms.y break you may shatter the va93 But the scent of the rose? will hang around it still." 'Trenton, S. 0. Building Pastures.

Death came and kissed away the life of little Louis Burnett last Thursday morning. Louis was the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. John Burnett. He was only six months old but was a sweet and lovely child. We join in with the whole community in sympathy for the be reaved ones. It has been two weeks since we have had rain. The roads have dried off wonderfully. The log drag has been used in many places and has helped so much. The farmers have lost uo time in sowing: oats. Mr. Tom Wood sowed wheat last week. We are'sorrv to report the severe illness of our friends, Messrs. H. H. Smith and George Mathis. Both are thought to be some better this morning. We hope and pray for their speedy recovery. Rose Cottage. Cold Spring, S. C. Living History. A Boston University professor comes forward to recommend the reading of newspapers as part of the public school course. Isn't this rank heresy in the realm of eduction? It's easy to recall the time when any college professor who recommended the reading of newspapers for any purpose what soever would have lost caste. News papers were regarded by all high brows as hopelessly vulgar, futile and trashy. Some of them, horrible to relate, were "yellow." Nearly all were beneath the dignity of a schol ar, particularly the news columns. And as for putting such stuff into the hands of innocent school chil dren-the very idea! Maybe Lhe newspapers have im proved since that epoch; we hope they have. But certainly the edu cators haye improved. And as they wake up to an interest in real life, and a perception of the fact that education is intended to fit children to live the same life, they develop appreciation of the wonderful ad vantages offered to every man, wo man ;ind child by the modern news paper. The teachers of the young used to act as if history were worthless until ii had become fossilized in books. Now they recognize that we have here, in the news columns from day to day, history in the making which is vastly more interesting and perhaps vastly more important than any ever concocted from the bones of dead events.-Augusta Chronicle.

The monthly meeting* of tl Daughters of the Revolution w held at the home of Mrs., Mara Tillman on Tuesday afternoon. Bi ing so near the birthday of Geor? Washington, the occasion w; treated with more than usual co sideralion, and the decorations wei of the national colors, red, whi and blue, with many of our cou; try's flags lending to the scene a air of patriotism and loyalty. The programs were very tast fully arranged with a picture i colors of a cherrry tree and hatol et. The historical numbers were a ranged by the historian, and ca ried out in detail. Selections ha been assigned to Mrs. B. E. Niche son, Mis. A. A. Woodson and Mr J. L. Mims. These included a sketc of George Washington, "Rem niscences of George and Marti Washington" and the "Religioi life of the fathei of our country. Music added greatly to the afU noon's entertainment. The vocal ? lections were greatly enjoyed an appreciated. Mrs. J. R. Tompkir and Miss Miriam Norris sang ? a duet "O wert thou in the caul blast." Mrs. Shannonhouse gave th . vocal solo "Till the end of time, and Miss Elizabeth Raiusford, a part of the historical program sang George Washington's birthday, at companied by Miss Emily Torap kins. "The nightingale" was sun by Miss Miriam Norris, and an in strumental duet, "The march of th continentals" was rendered by Mn Tillman and Mrs. J. L. Mims. As each guest arrived they wer served to cherry punch, Misses Ma ry Lewis and Florence Miras serv ing, and then repaired to the recep tion room where the officers of th< local chapter stood in the receiving line. There were about twenty guesti from the Johnston and Trentoi chapters who were most graciously welcomed, and who aided greatly in the good cheer and successful de velopraent of the afternoon's pleas ure. Mrs. A. A. Woodson, regent o: the chapter presided, and welcomec the visitors, and expressed appr?cia tion to the hostess for her larg? share in this delightful occasion. In the midst of the program i great sensation occurred, when it was announced that two distin .guished guests had just arrived, the hostess in great haste proceeding tc bring them in. Who should it be but George Washington himsell and bis beloved Martha, bringing with them a cherry tree which ic cherry season would have been full of beautiful cherries, but out ol season, so remarkable was the va riety, heavily laden with bright /ed hatchets tied with blue and white. Of course each guest speedily seized one of them, especially when they found that they bore upon their blades messages from the father ol their country enjoining the same honesty he practiced when he cut the cherry tree. It was soon discovered however, that the two who bore the cherry tree were not George and Martha at all, but Hansford and Winks, who were as devoted during the after noon as the real George and Mar tha w ere said to be. Another sensation was the ap pearance of a young bride of 16 in the costume which she wore 160 years ago, a beautiful buff silk made entirely by hand. This was worn by Miss Gladys Chappell who told very sweetly something of the history of the dress. At the close of the .program an elaborate two course luncheon wae served. The sweet course consisted of pink and white Charlotte Russe and miniature pound cakes bearing the auspicious 1732 and standing upon them a tiny silk flag waving as if to proclaim to the world the victorious life that had begun in 1732, and had culminated in such wonderful achievements, "And long may it wave O'er this land of the free, and Home of the brave." But the costumes: It would never do to leave off a description of that most wonderful feature of the af ternoon. There were among the forty guests present so many quaint and beautiful colonial gowns that we were loath to think that we were living in the 20th century. Most of them had gray hair, but they all from 20 years to forty, perhaps, looked to be "sweet sixteen." Each one hoped that the fashions of Geo. Washington's time would speedily return, if we could all look as state ly and beautiful as we thought all the others looked. Altogether we have never had a better time, nor realized so fully the value of the true patriotic spirit as we did on this occasion and we wish George Washington's birth day came twice a year. F. A.
