There is an unusual degree of interest manifested iu the Wed nesday evening prayer-meetings at the Baptist church. The attend ance though largo is not what it should be. So l'ar an we know this is the only regular weekly prayer meeting that is held in our town. All ' * people of a Christian com mu /-certainly all of the pro fessing Christians-should attend a prayer-meeting at least once a week. 1 he bell which announces the services of the Baptist church, like the bells of the other churches in Edgefield, extends a very cor dial invitation to the entire com munity. We would say to the Cbristiau peop'e at la: ge-not to those of any particular sect or creed-forsake not the assembling yourselves together for the pur pose of public prayer. Address anri Banquet, The local lodge I. 0. 0. P. cele brated the 83rd andiversary of the foundir.gof the order on last Sat urday evening. The Rev. Geo. W. Davis, who ?B a very loyal and zealous Odd Fellow, delivered au addrtss. Rev. Mr. Davie, in ap propriate and well-chosen words, get forth the purposo for which the order was founded. He said that the three links, the emblem of the order, symbolize Truth, Love aud Friendship interlinked in the work of bringing about the broth erhood of the human race. After this rare intellectual feast the members of th-? lodge and their invited guests repaired to the Ben net building and reassembled around the festive board on which ?vas spread tempting viands, all of which were so well prepared as to please tho most fastidious epicure. Tn the lasting credit of the mem bers of the lodge no beverage strongei than delightful coffee was in evidence. The Odd Fellows art charming hosts. Worth its Weight in Gold. 'slr. T.C. Sironi,who doifi?ed-;?he Confederate gray and served 4HS~ country faithfull;? from the firing of the first gun of tho Civil war till the Confederare Hag was furl ed at Appomattox, has shown us a Mime ball which wounded him as he charged the Yankee batter ies at Chancellorsville on May 3d, 1863. thirty-nine years ago. . The ball entered Mr. Strom's neck just below the right ear, ranging up ward severing the tongue and shat tering and lodging in the lower left jaw. The surgeon extracted the ball and it has been in Mr. Strum's puBscsstoii ?VO? - sim?. This ball which spilled his blood in a gallant charge and not in re treat will be a valued legacy to Mr. Strom's children and his chil dren's children. We have often heard battle-scarred veterans ex press a longing desire tj be in pos session of the enemy's bullet which scarred or maimed them for life. To them it would be wor?h HB weight in gold. Obituary. Ji.iss Josie Whitlock was born cn the 30th of April, 1880, and died of pneumonia at the South Carolina Co Educational Institute, Edgerleld, S. C. on Feb. 14,1902. She leaves a devoted father and mother, Mr and Mrs J C Whitlock, two sisters and eight broth ers and other near relatives and a ho3? of friends who mourn her departure. She united herself with the Mount Zion Baptist church of Christ in July, 1895, and was a devout Ch; istian work er. In her life and work the light of Christ, her blessed Savior and Re deemer, was plainly visible, giving through her inspiration to her pastor and to her rhurch,ber example both in church and in social circles, was wor thy of emulation. She was as .sun shine in her home, especially to her invalid sister, who has been so sadly under the bonds of great afflictions for about ll long weary years. As the writer heard from this afflicted sister words which told of the mutual love between them, ;'we were inseparable, I know her very heart." As a student she was bright and per severing, capablf of attaining fha highest, intellectual culture. lier e:c ample to her associates in school will greatly aid them .both intellectually and morally. Death is always sad, but when it ta!:es from us the young, the tender and those of a well rounded and beau tiful Christian character, it seems doubly sad. When a tiny baby ie hushed to sleep in its mother's arms, we say it is a lonely flower only trans planted into the garden of paradise where it will bloom in eternal beauty. When the old, after a long and busy life, draw their robe.? around them and go to their death as to their slumbers, we say it is well, for their work is ended. We know their eyes are dim wi til the lights and shadows of this world and their feet are weary with treading the pathway of life, and we are consoled by the thought tl at they "are only gone to a fairer and happier land." But when death takes from us a strong young man, or a lovely Chris tian young lady, like Miss Josie Whit lock, in the midst of a bright and use ful career; "When the leaf falls in irs green" we cannot tell why it I?, so. We can only bow in sorrow and join Hie Psalmist in his faithful exclama tion, "lie still and know- that 1 am God." So while tins lovely and lovable daughter, sister and friend has gone down to death "to rise on some fairer shore," there will -linger in our hearts tender thoughts and loving recollec tions which will burn as migrant.in cense at the shrine of her memory il KB PASTOB, |.
