Owdom. 1 want to ask for a few more -wjrds in your paper in regard t< getting a jrood road from Edgefield to Augusta. We should ask the legislators to pass a special act t<> ?empower the county boards of Ai ken and Edgefield te clay the road from Belvedere to the 16-mile post. I suppose $4,000 would do the .work and this would be of great help to the fellow with the 1-horse and 4-horse team and much to the fellow with an auto. Anyone from 30 to 35 miles can carry produe* and return tu Augusta in a day's .time. I know much of the needs of this work being done on this sand road for I have traveled it on foot, horse back, io buggy and wagon and if the law makers bad to travel it and know how bard it is to get along with a light load and how hard it is on man and beast, the\ surely *ould grant this n quest. So if we can't get the trolley line let Ha have the sand and clay line. T. A. Owdom. Meeting Street, S. C. Mrs Annie Cheatham Norman Killed. The friends of Mrs. Dr. Norman of North Augusta, nee Miss Annie Cheathem, and of ber parents, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Cheatham. were .bocked by the announcement in the papers Moaday morning that Mrs. Norman was thrown from an auto mobile near Augusta Sunday morn ing, death resulting in a short time. Mrs. Norman was greatly beloved in Edirefield. Be>ides many rela tives, she had a host warm personal friends here. When as a child and as a yoting lady she visited in Edge- j ?eld she was always most affection at el y greeted, her gentle mannei and kindly, sweet spirit makim.1 friends of ail with whom she came in contact. Everybody loved Annie ^beatham, who in December mar ried Dr. Norman, a prominent young dentist of Augusta. The Advertiser extends sympath\ to her devoted parents, brother an?1 sisters. The funeral took place ai Hardy's church Moneay, the Rev P. B. Lanham conducting the fun eral. Crowned With Full Fruition. Just as the reaper goes forth and garners the eolden sheaves that ar? ripe unto the harvest, so in callint Mr. James T. Ouzts up higher th? Great Harvester brought to a clos< a life that was crowned with ful' fruition. He died at his home ai Elmwood early Tuesday morning after being ill with acute indiges tion for only a few hours. He bad passed his eightieth mile post. On the 30th of December Mr. Ouztt celebrated his 80th birthday with a family re-union. He was alwaye prudent and temperate in his habits, consequently his health was unusu ally good for one of such an ad vanced age. His mind was strong and vigorous and in body Mr. Ouzth was as active as many men 10 oi 20 years his junior. The unexpeo . ed announcement, of his death Tnesday morning was a surpris? and shock to his Edgefield friends. Not only on account of his ripe ??ld a?e and larne experience bul also because of his splendid judg ment and sound discretion Mr. Ouzts' advice and counsel were fre quently sought. Among his neigh bors and friends he wielded a potent influence that was always whole some and helpful. He possessed de cided business acumen, always man aging his farm and other interests with signal success. Mr. Ouzts was a God-fearing man, an active member of McKendree church, from which he will be buried tim ifternoon at three e'clock. He was a staunch friend of Tb* Advertiser, his death depriving itt editor of a personal friend whom we shall greatlv miss. He nevei came to Edgefield without calling at The Advertiser office, always speaking words of encouragement lo those who make the paper. In return for this kindly sympathy and also because of his h aviug been a subscriber for so many years, the paper has been sent to him for ? decade with the compliments of tin editor. And henceforth for his sake we shall ask the privilege ol sending The Advertiser to Mrs. Ouzts. Mr. Ouzts is survived by b\> wife, six daughters, Mrs. Corri? Adams, Mrs. J. 0. Herin, Mrs..! M. Shaffer, Mrs. W. H. Harting. Mrs. G. T. Asbill and Miss Flora Ouzts, and two sons, Dr. W. D. Ouzts at d Mr. A. G. Ouzts. Religious Notices.
