This party has been d af erred on account of the continued sickness of little Eleanor Mim8. The chapter, however, hopes to celebrate with an out-door meet ing later in the summer. Record-Breaking Yield. Probably the largest yield of wheat ever made in the county was recently harvested by Mr. T. A. Broadwater. He sowed four bush els last fall on about five acres and harvested 177 bushels. If such a yield can be made with such an un precedented drought prevailing, surely with everything more favora able Mr. Broadwater can surpass his own good record. Made Many Friends in House. Hon. J. P. DeLaughter announc es this week that he is a candidate for re-election to the House of Rep resentatives. Ile has served only one term and during that timd has made many friends among the members of the house. Mr. DeLaughter is not one who is constantly seeking a place in the limelight, preferring rather, in his modesty, to be in the background. Nevertheless he does much solid work, both in enacting good laws and in defeating bad ones. He has made a record of which he is not ashamed. Teacher Elected for Schools. At a recent meeting the board of trastees, which is composed of A. E. Padgett, J. T. McManus and A. S. Tompkins, elected the following teachers for the High School; T. J. Lyon, superintendent; CC.

Trenton, June 8.-The people of Trenton and surrounding country were greatly shocked and grieved yesterday afternoon when it was learned that Miss Eva Crouch of Trenton had died at the home of her aunt, Mrs. J. M. Rushton, in Johnston, at 3:30 o'clock, Sunday afternoon. Miss Crouch was visiting her aunt and was taken very suddenly sick Friday afternoon. She was about 18 years of age, a graduate of the Johnston institute and a very bright, attractive and lovable young girl. She will be greatly missen in the Trenton Baptist church and Sunday school, where she was an active worker. She is survived by her father, Charley Crouch, four brothers, Guy, Harold, Curtis and Roy Crouch, and one sifter, Miss Connie Crouch. The funeral will take place at Ebeneser cemetery Tuesday afternoon at 5 o'clock. The Baptist Church. The pastor has missed two Sun days from his pulpit in the last 30 days, being out of town the greater part of the month. The duties which ltook him away are over with now. Services will be held regularly on Sunday mornings. Sunday Behool and morning service, in the High School auditorium; Sunday and Wednesday nights at the Presbyte rian church. Members and friends may come with the assurance that there will be services at the appoint ed times. You need your chwrcb and your church needs you in all its services. Subjects of sermons next Sunday: "The standards whioh Christianity sets,"and ''Back sliding." M. D. Jeffries. Wm. Ready Next Week. The Edenfield Cook Book will be completed next \i eek, and a copy can be procured for 50 centsjfrom the committee of ladies of the Bap tist church who compiled the recipes and had them printed for the benefit of the churoh building fund. The book will be aotually worth twice the amount that is ask ed for it. The many simple recipes that produce delicious viands will help to solve the high-cost-ofdiving problem which so many of us in Edgefield have to grapple with daily and hourly. The Advertiser job de partment will have the book ready for delivery next week. Children's Day at Plum Branch. Children's Day was observed in the Methodist charch at Plum Branch last Sunday. The exercises were carried out by the children in perfect order and great credit is due to Rev. B. H. Covington and his wife and the others who had charge of the training of the children. A large crowd was present. A bounti ful and delightful dinner waa served on the ground. In the afternoon there were addresses by B. E. Nich olson and W. B. Cogburn.

A number of visitors from other sections attended the Children's Day exercises and thor oughly enjoyed the day and the kind hospitality of the Plum Branch people.
