Sad News.
'We learn from Mr Trapp McMa
rins that Mrs Mack Johnson, of
Monntain Cieek, while sweeping
her house Sunday her clothing in
'S.-IUDC way caught afire and were al
fnost entirely burned off of her.

doubtful whether the unfortunate
woman will recover.
Measles In Greenwood
Rev George W Davis sp:nt a
portion of last week in Greenwood,
with Mrs Davis and children. Mr?
Devis went up there before Xmas
"and while there the children have
been taking time about having
the measles, so Mrs Davis has
been nursing instead of enjoying
her visit. They have all bloomed
now, and will reiurn as soon as
it, is advisable to bring the chil
dren, It was unnecessary to leave
home to catch the measles-Edge
field is up-to-date and can fur
nish measles, mumps, whooping
cough, etc., on short notice.
Remember " the Park."
We do not believe in always
making- remarks, but we have
rema* ked several times about the
condition of "the park." Our rea
sons for doing so was that we folt
a pride in Edgefield. It would
make a mule laugh to know that
Edgefield called his hitching
ground a "park," Why the idea of
a park being used as a place for all
sorts of refuse-ashes, straw, pa
per, excelsior, etc. It is a disgrace
for the mouument, erected by the
good ladies in memory of thu Con
federate dead, to be surrounded by
filth and shaded by decayed trees.
If Edgefield has any pride for her
dear, old and far-famed town, let
it be known by having the barn
lot, knowu as "the park," cleaned
aud kept in a respectable condi
tion. Remember "tho pa k."
Handsome 1902 Calendars.
We have received a beautifi..
calendar of the New York Life In
surance company, presented by
tb>ir agents. Gaffney & Mims.
Messrs Gaffney and Mims have
.been Edgefield only a few months,
but by their pleasant mauner 'and
strictly business methods have
built up an enviable business and
madp. hosts of friends.
~^We all admire pretty girls and
pretty pictures, and need aLd ap
preciate calendars. Mr E J Nor
ris has given us two calendars, one
is from thc McCormick machine
vori ir.tl . \h picture, of a
. bering
L- u HS in her hand a pla
cird reading 'buy the McCormick
mower, and reaper," and of course
Mr Norris, the agent, is the one to
buy from. Remember this.
GOES TO GEORGIA.
Rev. L. R. Gwaltney Resigns the
Pastorate of Baptist Church.
The members of the Edgefiela
Baptist church were greatly sur
prised when their beloved pastor's
resignation was presented to the
conference last Sunday mevning.
The resignation was as unex
pected as lightning from a clear
sky. Dr Gwaltney's congregation
is loathe to give him up and that
the severance of the sweet and sa
cred ties that bind pastor aud peo
ple caused profound grief aud sor
row was evidenced by the many
husky voices and the tears that
flowed freely.
The resignation becomes effec
tive ou 31st of January Dr Gwalt
ney will leave about February 1st
to fill the chair of Psychology and
Christian Ethics in Shorter col
lege Rome, Georgia. He will also
serve the college as chaplain,
preaching every Sunday evening
to the collage family and being
present at chapel exercises every
morning. The position was ten
dered him by the trustees without
solicitation on his part.
Dr Gwaltney is loved, honored
and revered by every one in Edge
field, irrespective of church affili
ation. Tb.338 who are not avow
ed believers in the Savior, whom
he serves eo devotedly and whose
life he exemplifies so perfectly,
hold bim in high esteem and are
by his daily walk and conversa
tion constrained to believe that
there is something REAL in Chris
tianity.
In the departure of this conse
crated mau of God from our midst
the entire community-not only
the Bapt ist congregation-sustains
an irreparable loss. The peiple
of Edgefield have pot been fully
cognizant nor appreciative of the
good he has dene during the past
niue year3. It will only he reveal-,
ed hy comparing Edgefield of to
day with the sweet benediction of
his spotless lift and beneficent in
fluence with Edgefield of the fu
wilhoni bim.

Why should citizens of Edge
field patronize outsiders when they
can get the same high class of art
from their home photographer. It
is an undisputed fact that Pho
tographer Mims, who is a resident
of our town, can make just as up
to-date photographs as any man,
but some people had rather help
built, up a resident of Columbia
or elsewhere, than to build up old
Edgefield by patronizing home.
