most widely-known New York
creamery cannot equal the prod

Mr. P. B. Dav can grew other
things besides fine corn. A colored
man has made several trips to
Edgefield recently with delightful
strawberries that grew upon a
square in Mr. Day's garden. Oue
day last wepk he brought twenty
odd quarts and sold them at the
very reasonable price of fifteen
ceuts per quart. It is really sur
prising what a large quautity of
berries can be grown upon a small
square, when properly cultivated.
This colored man stated to us that
UDwrrds of fifty quarts bad been
gathered from the small square in
Mr. Day's garden.

We have repeatedly h^ard it
said that our young friend Robert
Nicholson manages his farming
operations with splendid ability,
but now we have personal knowl
edge of this faot. vVh?IH rakinga
jaunt iuto the country a few after
noons ago, the writer passed Ihe
home of Mr. Nicholson. He
has eeveral large fields enclosed
with strong wire fences, and in one
of these there were something like
forty hogs of all colors, sizes and
agee. In another field there was a
flock of well-cared-for sheep, and
in the cow lot was seen the "low
ing herd" of some twenty or more
CDws, bulls, yearlings and calves.
It goes without saying that the
farmer who devotes so much time
aud attention to stock raisiug'also
manages his farming operations
?veil along all liups.

six lowus, Vaucluse, Langley,
Orangeville, Warrenrilie, Bath
and Clearwater.
The women of this association
are especially interested in Mies
Brumfield, not only for her per
sonal charm?, but for the reason
that she has been adopted by tho
Woman's Mission Societies of
Edgsfield as their own mission
ary.

Paul, died at her home in Aiken
on Wednesday last. The remains
were brought to EdgefieJd and in

Thursday, Dr. C. E. Burts officia

Mrs. Paul was Miss Mamie
Covai before ?ter marriage, I be
daughter of the late Mr. Lewis
Covar. By her gentle manner and
amiable disposition she easily
won the affection aud esteem of
all with whom she met. In the
homo is where the true character
of an individual is reflected. And
it was here that the beautiful
lurer life of this good woman was
revealed! Her self-sacrificing de
votion to the membeis of her
household, and others near and
dear to her, was without a paral
lel.
Besides her husband, two
bright, little children survive this
good woman. They have beeu
committed into the keeping of
Mrs. James Paul, who will be
both a mother and grandmother
to them. Mrs. Paul was a member

Representative ol the Salvation
Army Visited Edgefield.
Miss Hester Campbell who was
in Edgefield last Thursday is
probably tbe first member of the
Salvation Army to visit our town.
She is a cadet of the Relief Corps
stationed at 1283 Broad street,
Augusta, with Capt. and Mrs.
Brown in charge. Her mission was
to solicit funds for the charitable
work of the Salvation Army, last
week being set apart by the gener
al organization as a week of spe
cial effort for this purpose. Miss
Campbell was pleased with her
visit to Edgefield, and made a
favorable impression ou those who
met her.
Mr. M. G. Woodward, a former
student of our college, now on the
staff of the Augusta Herald was
here on Saturday and spoke very
highly of the Salvation Army
work in Augusta, saying that they
were accomplishing things which
had never before been undertaken
in Augusta, and that the columns
of the Augusta Herald were al
ways at their service.

The strongest paint is the one that
takes 1 aast gallons; least gallons to
buy; least gallons to paint; and the
strongest paint is the one that wears
longest.
These lessons are useful.

Hard Times In Kansas.
The old days of grasshoppers j
and drought aro almost forgotten
in the prosperous Kansas of to
day; although a citizen^of Codell,
Earl Shamburg, has not yet for
gotten a hard time he encountered.
He says: "I was worn out and dis
couraged by coughing night and
day, and could find no relief till
I tried Dr. King's New Discovery.
It took less than one bottle to I
completely cure me." The safest
and most reliable cough and cold I
cure and lung and throat healer
ever discovered. Guaranteed. 50c

Death o? Mn. J. O. Morgan?
No sadder event could have be?
fallen the people of Parkovill*
than the one which occurred in
the death of Mrs. J. G. Morgun BO
well beloved at home, in the Iowa
of Edgefield, and throughout tba
county.
Mrs. Morgan was Miss Marga
ret Bueeey, a sister of Rev. G . WV
Bussey now living at Fountain
Inn, and Mr. Pat Bussey of this
county.
She will be missed, not only for
her sweetness' of disposition, and
sympathetic Christian spirit, but
for the fact that she was one of,
the few eager to do and accom
plish in the service of the Master.]
A member of the Parksville Baj
tist ohurch for many years, she
was the pioneer in Women's mis?
sionary enterprise in the Edge-j
field association, being our fir
superintendent of the work, sow
ing through tears and sorrow foj
many years when there were foi
to give ber aid or even a word
encouragement, and with years ol
ill health, she persevered in faitl
and enthusiasm, never fainting
in the death of adversity. Sh? wa!
rewarded in living long e nough tc
see some fruits of her laboi
however, in the enthusiastic mit
sionary interest which characteri
zes the women of this association.
It was at her suggestion, that the
Edgefield association undeirtool
the support of Rev. John Lake.
Mrs. Morgan was one of th?
best and noblest of women. Whet
it became known at Edgefielc
that she was critically ill,
much sorrowing interest was mani?j
fee ted that a stranger might ha\
thought she lived here in 01
midst. We can aot keep from li
menting over our loss and wo
dering who will take her place
if it can be filled, but for her 1
feel no anxiety. She is reupii
the reward of her life and labor
and enjoying what she most Iii
here, though imperfectly, tb.
companionship of tue saints mi
pertect, and the glories ol:
eternal city of which her Sarioi
and ours is the light.
In the bereft home there ii bi
one left to feel most keenly
great grief. For Mr. Morgan ?vei
heart wells up with sympathy
Mrs. Morgan left no children
her own, bat had been a mothej
to many. An adopted son Jobi
Morgan Gilchrist was in attenf
ance at the college at toe time
her death. May the Lord raise
one to emulate her noble examph
