The following invitation an nounces an approaching- marriage in which Edgefield is deeply inter ested, the only regret in connection, with the nuptial occasion being the loss of one of Edgefield's well be loved y&ung ladies: "Mrs. Ida\DeVore Sheppard re quests the pleasure of your com pa ny at the marriage of her daughter Josephine Elizabeth, lo Mr. Ray mond Douglas Rogers, on the after noon ot' Wednesday, the seventeen ol' .June, at a quarter to six o'clock, at home, Edgetield, South Carolina." A Splendid Investment. The money with which the street sprinkler was purchased was wisely expended. In fact, we believe the sprinkler was the best investment that the town has ever made. Keep ing the public square and the streets leading from the square wet pre vents clouds of dust from entering the homes and places of business around the square, and'in addition to increasing the comfort of scores of persons, it prevents disease. Let the sprinkler be kept in operation as much as possible, covering as large area as possible. Exercises by Literary Society. Friday afternoon the members of the McDuflie literary society of the High School held 1 public exer cises in the auditorium. Very inter esting original papers were read by four girls and declamations were delivered by seven boys. The mon ey in the treasury of the society was divided and half offered to the young lady who prepared the best paper and the other half to the br>y who excelled in declamation. The committee of judges consisted of Rev. R. G. Shannonhouse, Dr. M. D. Jeffries and Rev. J. R. Walker. The exercises were presided over by superintendent T. J. Lyon, who announced the rca ling ol' the pa pers as follows: 1 ' J 'leasu rcs o f Kn o wi od gc,*' M i ss Ida Folk. "The importance of a Literary So ciety," Miss Emmie Lou Edmunds. "Chivalry," Miss Florence Minis. "Music,"' M?ES Onida Jamison. The declamations were delivered in the following order: "America ami International Peace," Francis Siralwins. "Democracy and Education," Walter Mays "America, a Worlc Repcblicp John Miras. "The charge of the Light Brig ade," Carroll Rainsford. "Minute Men of the Revolution," Entrene Timmons. "Baltimore Grays,"' Glover Tomp kins. "Honor Roll and the New South," Harold Norris. The committee of judges expe rienced considerable difficulty iu arriving at a decision in> both con tests, and particularly in the essay contest. After carefully considering the matter, it was found that in marking the young ladies a tie was made between Misses Ouida Patti son and Ida Folk, and as the judges were unable to decide between the two tne amount of money was di vided between^ these voung ladies. The prize for declamation was awarded to Francis Simkins. All of the girls and boys ' reflected credit upon the efforts of their teachers ; and upon the work of their so cieties. Superintendent Lyon announced that during the next session more attention would be iriven to devel oping the talent of the young peo ple for writing and speaking and that at the commencement of 1915 I an entire evening would be devoted lo the celebration by the McDuffie literary society.
