Mr. J. W. Hardy and family
were the guests of Mr. and Mrs

Miss Genie Fair and Miss Em

the visitors to our town ou Sunday
last.
The dance in tho opera house
on Monday evening was probably
the largest ever given by the
Edgefield Cotillion Club.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Dawson

th? latter's parents, Mr. and Mrs.
James A Timmerman.

came home for the holidays. His
many friends have greeted bim

Every place of business was
crowded on Saturday last except
County Treasurer Williams, office.
People are not giviug bim much
work to do these days.
The talk of the town i? that the
eleven o'clock train arrived on
time on Monday. Wonder when
thia will occur again? Hardly be
foreuext Christmas.
Mr. Edward Foreman, a very
handsome young business man
from Macon, Ga., is spending the
holidays in Edgefield with his
sister&,. Mesdames C. J. Ashley
and M. E. Merriman.
Capt. Erasmus S. Minis, of
Augusta visited his daughter, Mrs.

Mr. John R; Tompkins could
not longer endure the seperation
so he betook himself to Hender

fortnight with Mrs. Tompkins who
is on a prolonged visit to her pa
rents.
Old Santa Claus purchased lib

pite the great volume of holiday

. Mr. S. S. Lamb, who was the
efficient superintendant of the
weave room of the Edgefield cot
ton mill several years ago, paid a
short visit to his brother in Edge
field last week. Mr. Lamb is no?
in the employment of a large mill
in Birmingham.
Wonder why the people did not
buy as much "booze" OD Christmas
eve this year as they did last? The
eales last year amouuted fo $1037,
whereas on Saturday last only the
sum of $736 fouud its way into the
coffers of the dispensary. Many
homes were doubtless happier and
many stockings fuller by this de
crease in the volume of South
Carolina's business.

the Ben of Mr. J. C. Whitlock who

The typesetting of this issue of

in order to enable the force to
enjoy at least a part of the holiday
season, therefore we must refrain
from doing what we would like,
that is, to write at length of the
beautiful Christmas tree that was
given for the Sunday school ..of
the Baptist church on Monday
eveuiuglast. It waa indeed a bril
liant success from every stand
point, and the church and Sunday
school owe the pastor and tho
committee in charge a lasting
debt of gratitude for the splendid
manner in which it was managed.
Just received a car load of "Old
Hickory" and "Blue Grass" wagons
and two cr loada of "Kock Hill"

Many hearts were made glad at
the mill chapel on Saturday even
ing last whan^the nice things were
taken from the beautiful Christ
mas tree and distributed among
the Sunday school children. The
exercises were opened with pray
er by Rev. C. E. Burls, which was
followed by appropriate recitations
and songs by the pupils of the
mill school which is taught by
Miss Grace Tompkins. Then
Santa Claus, in the person of
Mr. C. W. Watson, aud Mrs.
Santa Claus who was represented by
Mr. Jehu Shiped, appeared upon
the scene and distributed the gifts
among the children. Everythiug
had been provided in great abuu
dauce by the committee in charge.
After the children had beeu boun
tifully helped to nico things
enough fruits and confections
were left to distribute among the
visitors. The officers and teachers
are to be commended for their un
tiring efforts in so worthy a cause.
Let tho Christmas tree at the mill

A beautiful marriage at Centre
Spring ou December the 22nd
was that of M ins Sara Johnson
Warren to Mr. Wallacn Elbert
BlaDd Tompkins, who proudly
bears the name of his distinguished
grandfather, too lamented Col.
Elbert Bland. When did Sara look
moro beautiful and queenly than cn
this occasion. She was attired in a
gown of handsome blue Bilk trim
med with old lace, wearing jewels
of pearl and amethyst. The knight
ly groom uever looked handsome
or more radient thau wheu he
bore upon his arm to the altar
his beautiful bride. Thus they
were made mau aud wifo by tbe
Rev. Charles E. Burts, who beau
tifully and impressively pro'
nounced the ceremouy.
The guests were the aristocratic
relatives of the bride and groom
! A delightful luncheon was served
Jin the spacious diuiDg room that
was so beautifully- decorated by
the skillful bauds of the hand
some Miss Elizabeth Hill.
The pre< euts were numerous and
very handsome, attesting the uni
versal popularity and'love for the
bride and groom. The happy pair
left immediately after the ceremo
uy for the beautiful home of .the
groom's parents, where they will
reside. Many wishes to the happy
couple for a long and blissful life
