Hol stein Monday afternoon, Mrs. C. E. May, Mrs. J. E. Hart and Mrs. A. E. Padgett as directors of the work. Eighteen young ladies were present and the following officers were elected: Miss Sadie Mims, president; Miss May Tompkins, first vice-president; Miss Emily Strother, second vice president; Miss Frances Burgess, secretary; Miss Gladys Rives, treas urer; Miss Nell Jones historian. The organization will be called "The Dixie Auxiliary of the Edge field chapter U.'D. C." Meetings will be held at homes of different members 2nd Saturdays of each month with a historical pro gram. Two Pleasant Occasions at the S. C CI. Mr. Editor: As you were not able to attend, and knowing your inter est in the S. C. C. I., we feel con strained to wTfte you of two profita ble meetings we have attended there, within the last few days. On Friday afternoon the elocution class of Miss Lillie Mae*Bailey gave a reci tal, which was much enjoyed by all. The girls acquitted themselves well, and did credit to their faithful teach er. A chorus, by a crowd of lovely girls, with Mrs. Bailey and Mrs. Entzminger at the piano, was beau tiful. On Saturday night, Dr. Burts ad dressed the boys of the F. L. S. He Tras introduced by Mr. Johnston, president of the sociaty. His tribute to Dr. Burts was fine, and no doubt voiced the sentiments of all present. We wish all the boys could have heard Dr. Burts' address. His theme was j "Luck" and he proved that there is no such thing as luck, but it is pluck, that boys must have to succeed in life. Misses Blanche Landrum, Nell Jones and Annie Cantelou rendered beautiful inusic for the occasion. We think we "Buncornbites" are blessed in living so near the col lege,, wh?re w?. can * have advantage of its entertainments. Col. Bailey has done, and is doing a great deal for Edgefield in keeping up the school, and having such noble Chris tian men and women for teachers. Eternity alone will reveal the. good he has done. I can't tell yon how rejoiced we all are at your recovery. Do hope you will soon be strong again, a nd able to resume your work, for next to the'Baptist Courier, there is no paper like the dear old Adverti ser. It ought to bein every home. Right here let me say as a, friend, that you, too, are doing a good work, one that will live on, after you have passed away. A True Friend. It Pays to Trade at Peak's.

The reception at Dr. Burts home en Friday afternoon was announced from the pulpit at the Baptist church on Suuday morning, and all the congregation cordially invited. This occasion should be made a memorable one, and will be the more so if every member of the con gregation is present, and brings a substantial offering for the pipe or gan fund. The afternoon and even ing will be delightful in a social way, and music and refreshments will add pleasure to the occasion. Let every member of the congrega tion lend their presence somewhere from four to ten to this unique re ception and carry a happy greeting to Dr. and Mrs. Burts, and the friends they meet there, as well asa gift for the organ fund. Notice. I wish to thank the public for' their efforts of service in behalf of my destructive fire, and wish to add that I do intend to be in opera tion again soon, and by support of my creditors that are due me ac counts by settling at once, which will greatly help me and by this act enable rae to help them.

Norris, the young er set of Edgefielci were entertained by Miss Helen Tillman, at a most pleasant and unique valentine party. The decorations were white and red. Hundreds of hearts hung in grace ful festoons and unique designs in the hall, reception rooms and din ing room. A postoffice which re ceived nothing but valentines was placed in the hall, and each one re ceived and gave a valentine. Con tests and other amusements helped to while away the delightful season. Fruit punch and a salad course and sweets were abundantly served. Sham Battle on the 22nd. The Rifle company here is plan ning to have a sham battle on Feb ruary 22nd-Washington's birthday. All members who cafe to partici pate in this battle, should attend the meetings every Tuesday and Thurs day nights prior to the 22nd. Dr. Burts Accepts. The daily papers announce that Dr. C. E. Burts accepts the call to the first church of Columbia. We rejoice in his decision, though we sympathize keenly with Edgefield. Dr. Burts is eminently fitted for the, large responsibilities of this impor tant pastorate. In bodyv and mind and heart he has been shaped for j such a task. And it is a great task J that he is called to. There is not an other pastorate in the ntate more im portant. Columbia is the second city of the state in size and almost the first in commercial importance. It is the center of our political life and the seat of the state university. The First ?Baptist church because of its loca tion and the Uong contin?ed influ ence of great pastorsj is in closest) touch with the whole life of the | capital and has a responsibility sec ond to none in the state. But just at this time because of | the new life coming into our mis sion work in the capital, Columbia j is alive with the possibilities of a | great Baptist campaign. The state mission board has seen the new day and has tully realized its own large responsibilities in this field and has alp o been unusually fortunate \n se curing the services pf missionaries who do things. The coming of Dr. Burts to this field of unusual responsibilities and possibilities is not an ordinary pas-'| toral change. It has significance for the whole state. And we voice the general feeling of satisfaction when we say that the great charge has been placed in worthy hands. Above all else Dr. Burts is a true man with a genuine loving heart in his J breast. Men love him and; trust him and lean on" him. He takes a larg? interest in public questions and will be a tower of strength for all legis lation that makes for righteousness. We have not in our midst a de nominational leader more trusted. All the boards want him. He is fra ternal, siggressive, wise; and thc noble workers of Columbia will be greatly strengthened by his coming. -Baptist Courier. Teacher Training Class Organ ized. On Tuesday evening the teachers of the Edgefield Baptist Sunday school met at the home of the su perintendent Mr. W. B. Cogbnrn in order to organize themselves into s class for more efficient training as teachers.
