The women of Edgefield whoi have manifested commendable al truism and public spirit by organ izing themselves into a Civic League should receive the hearty co-opera tion of the people of the communi ty in whatever they undertake by way of beautifying the town and improving its sanitary conditions. The town council, which is the em bodiment of the community in an official capacity, should be especial ly willing to lend a helping hand in whatever these women undertake. That they accomplished something along this and other similar lines in the past can not be disputed. But for the efforts of the women of the commnnity the village cemetery would not have been properly kept during the past decade. Other things could be cited to prove the woathiness of their cause. Let's all give them the heartiest co-operation. Delightful Social Gathering.
