Many a plain woman who could never serve as an artist's model, possesses those rare qualities that all the'world admires: neatness, clear eyes, clean smooth skin and that sprightliness of step ai d action that accompany good health. A physically weak woman is nevei attractive, not even to herself. Electric Bitters restore weak wo men, give strorg nerves, bright eyes, smooth, velvaty skin, beau tiful complexion. Guaranteed.

Refaced Twelve Cents. Mr. Bettis Cantelou who has 90 acres of well-fertilized, well cultivated cotton has refused a bona fide offer of twelve cents per pound for his crop, whether it be fifty or one buudred bales. That was an exceedingly tempting offer. The wish being father to the thought, there are many persons who firmly believe that cotton will sell for fifteen cents next fall. Such a fancy price may not be realized, but uuless all signs fail the producers of cotton will re ceive a good price next fall.

Cantelou and others had quite au interesting discus sion on the street on Saturday morning over the shedding of the forms or fruit from cotton. Some contended that "squares" never shed or fall from the stalk until after the bloom opens and the boli forms, while others contended that '.hey shed both before and after the opening of the bloom. There wa3 such a wide difference of opinion that the question is yet unsettled. Who can decide it for them? Notice of Election.

An extremely fortunate -young man from the. west-side has taken from ns one of our choicest flow? ers, and the only constdat ion left is that they reside near enough to make us frequent visits. On Thursday afternoon, June 27th, Mies Eva Wates and Mr. George Bussey were married at the home of Mr. and Mrs. P. R. Wates, Rev. G. W. Bussey and Dr. C. E. Burts officiating. The beautiful ceremony was witnessed by the immediate relatives of the bride and groom, whose affection for the happy young couple was tangibly manifested by the many beautiful presents that were in evidence. After congratulations and good wishes were showered upon Mr. and Mrs." Bnssey, delightful re freshments were served in great abundance; Edgefield very reluctantly gives up the beautiful and universally beloved bride. Not only has she by her sweet spirit, gentle mauuer and lovable disposition won the affections of our people since liv ing among us, but her Christian life and influence have been a force which we shall greatly miss. However, when we realize that the force of her life and influence are ueeded in the community of her adopted home, as well as here, we must beoome reconciled. The peo ple of the Faifa section are ex tremely fortunate in having her come to live among them.

Lake were brought to Edgefield. When these dear friends left us some years agok there was deep regret and gloom cast over the spirit of many friends, and yet we all hoped that it was a tempo rary separation, feeling that the ties that bound us were too strong to be easily broken. So it was a great shock to receive the message tb at one, the most dearly loved of all, bad gone away, and in the flesh would never greet us again with that sweet smile and cordial sympathy which characterized her. Still it is a great comfort and satisfaction to us to know, that in her dying hours she still loved us, and held the soil so dear, that she desired to be laid to rest in Edge field. The remains were accompanied from Tazewell, Va., by Capt. Lake, Miss Rosa Lake and Feliz Lake, and were carried to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Mime, whence the casket was conveyed to the Baptist church on Sunday morn ing at eleven o'clock. A great num ber of relatives, friends, acquain tances and others who knew her not, but for the sake of our be loved missionary, were present on this sad occasion. Dr. Burts hur ried home from the union meetiug at Bethany to conduct the services. Mrs. Lake had been a resident of Edgefield town and county for more than thirty years up to the removal of the family to Johnston, Shelbyville, Ky., and Tazew?ll, Va., about nine years ago. She was not permitted to have with her in the dying moments all of her best beloved. Rev. John Lake and Mrs. Brockman, known to us all as Lula, are in far away China, not yet perhaps knowing of the sad event. The remaining mem bers of the family are Calbreath, Sophie, Clara and Leonora. Mrs. Lake was one of the hero ines of earth. Though an invalid and the mother of a large family, she was full of courage, noble aspi rations, and undaunted persever ance, never known to falter or muramr under any dispensation of Providence, but always un wavering, steadfast, immovable, in beiug and doing, as the days went by. Troubles which would have crushed soma, were but step ping stones for her,-a noble ex ample indeed. Edgefield never wanted to give up the Lakes, and we know that they love Edgefield above ali the homes of later years. This last link will but biud them the closer to us,-that the dust of the devo ted mother lies at rest among us. The thoughts of them all will re vert to their native heath until by and by, as the years roll on, tbey, will one by one come to us, either in the flesh, or to find'their final resting place beside the friends of other years, in our "garden of sleep." A Memorable Day. One of the days wo remember with pleasure, as well as with profit to our health, is the one on which we became acquainted with Dr. King's New Life Pills, the painless purifiers that cure head ache and billiousness, and keep the bowels right. 25c B.
