SCOTT & BOWNE; 409 Pearl St. New York Thanksgiving i Along with the closing of every place of busine ss in Edgefield. dur ing Thursday, all exercises at the college were suspended in the ob servance of national Thanksgiving Day. After appropriate chapel ex ercises, the students who desired to attend the union Thanksgiving service at the Baptist church were given special church leave, and almost the entire student body av?iled themselves of this privilege. Upon the return from church gen eral leave was granted until the hour for lunch, so as to enable the students to witness the foot ball contest between Graniteville and Edgefield. Having a decided pen chant for out-door life and sport, the young ladies and young gentle men, especially the latter, thorough ly enjoyed the contest. At the close of the game, the students returned to the college and partook of the usual luncheon. , In the afternoon the rules were suspended and the young ladies and young gentlemen mingled their merry voices as they promenaded upon the campus, some few couples prefering a quiet corner or shady nook for an undisturbed tete-a-tete. As older persons passed the campus during the afternoon and saw how thoroughly these college boys and girls were enjoying this beautiful Thanksgiving afternoon which was being so well and sb appropriately observed, it caused them to wish that the wheel of time would reverse its motion, returning them to their halcyon days once again, even for a short season.

Cbeatbsm. it The College. nual turkey dinner, for which the S. C. C. I. has now become justly famous,, is always held in delightful anticipation. So, with the approach of nightfall on Thursday, more in tense grew the eagerness and yearn ing for the sounding of the call to dinner. Finally, the delectable mo ment arrived; and contrary to the daily practice, yet a privilege en joyed under the suspension of the rules, each young man with the girl .of his choice by his side marched into the spacious dining hall to par take of the Thanksgiving feast, the equal ' of any dinner served any where in the state, whether in pri vate home or public eating house. Having made a close study of the culinary department, just as he has of every other department of the institution, Col. . Bailey, with his corps of .three: skilled cooks and half dozen trained waiters, prepares and serves the meals to the one hundred-and-forty-odd members of the college home with greater promptness and with less friction and confusion than is observed in a private family ofaverage size.

Mr. Lewis Glanton, who had been an intense sufferer for weeks and had been at death's door for some .time, gave up the struggle for life last Thursday night and his soul re turned to Him who gave it. The funeral service took place in the Red Hill church Friday afternoon, with our pastor officiating. Relatives and friends of the deceased from far and near were present to pay their last respects. During Mr. Glanton's long illness caused by blood poison, he had many friends watching prayerfully with him and eager to do anything to make his last days comfortable. We extend our heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved ones. On last Saturday Messrs. C. E. Quarles, W. F. Floyd, W. J. Quarles and C. M. .Mellichamp represented our church at the Union meeting at Plum Branch. On Sunday a num ber of others attended.

Miss Weinona Strom, accompa nied by Miss Hassie Quarles,', went over to Rehoboth last Friday and went from there to the union meet ing Sunday. Several of our young folks attend ed and enjoyed the pound party at Miss Sula Wash's last Friday night. Mrs. Littlejohn and the little boys spent Saturday and Sunday with her sister, Mrs. Wash, at Rehoboth, while Mr. Littlejohn was attending the Union. The hour for the unveiling of the monument, the second Sunday in this month has been changed from two p. m. to lia. m. and dinner will not be served on the grounds. But, there are a great many hospitable homes around there and visitors will be gladly entertained. Our school did not give holiday, for Thanksgiving service was held at the usual moring devotional ex ercises, and we feel that the chil dren were ?just as thankiul >as if they had been in the woods hunt ing or at home. The attendance was better than usual. , Although we have had a number of deaths this year we feel that we have been especially blessed and indeed have a great deal to be thank ful for. * X. Y. Z.

Being mindful of the great popu larity of the bride and groom, not only in our county but beyond its borders, one was not surprised at the array of handsome presents. "Many friends who were unable to lend their presence1 to the occasion sent tangible and very beautiful manifestations of their love and es teem. A sumptuous wedding supper was served, such as is only seen "at south ern country weddings. A bevy of beautiful little girls, cousins of the bride, acted as waitresses. Immediately after! the supper was over the bridal party left for Edge field. Mr. and Mrs. Tompkins will make their home for the present at the home of Mrs. Ella S.
