Collett a large number of citizens have subscribed for lyceum tickets for the season but there are yet others who should give the man agement their loyal support. The lyceum attractions for the approach ing season are in a higher class than any heretofore engaged and they cost more money. The first attrac tion will be the "American Girls" on October 18. This entertainment will consist of vocal and instrument al music, readings and impersona tions, all of the highest order. The second attraction will be the "Car roll Glee Club," a male quartette, on November 8. This likewise is composed of the best vocal talent. The last entertainment of the course will be given on March 6 by the Hungarian orchestra, which is the most expensive attraction of the kind ever brought to Edgefield. The Edgetield public can rest assured that the 191516 lyceum course will be the be>t Edgefield has ever bad. Memorial Services.

Interesting to friends throughout Georgia and South Carolina was the ?Marriage of Miss Myrtle Avenue Armstrong ..a nd Capt. Richard Bee' .Cain, which took place at the home of the bride's sister, Mrs. M. H. Usher, of Hephzibah, Ga., Thurs day noon. Invitations were limited to a very few close friends aside from the members of the large family connections of the bride and groom, both of whom are related to several of the leading families of .South Carolina. Rev. Robert E. L. Harris, pastor of the Hephzibah Baptist church, performed the cere mony. The marriage unites two of the most prominent old families of -South Carolina prominent, socially and in other ways The bride hav ing been for two years a most suc cessful and popular trained nurse, making frieuds wherever she went, with her sympathetic, bright sunny disposition. Capt. Cain has been interested in the Bailey Military College at Greenwood, S. C., for a number of .years. Aside from being captain of the militan- exercise he holds the position as quartermaster and com mercial professor. The bride's wishes were carried out in the matter of simplicity. The i decorations were simule, yet very effective, being artistically decorat ed in pink and blue flowers. Scores of ferns added to the effect through out the rooms. In the parlor, where the ceremony was performed, the decorations were all white, a beau tiful arch being formed at one end of the roora, graceful ferns and white roses formed a pretty background. After the ceremony and congratula " lions received the bride and groom led the way to the dining room where an elaborate buffet luncheon was served, after which the bridal party left in an automobile for Au gusta, where :the bride and groom boarded a Pullman car for Atlanta. They will visit the Panama-Pacific Exposition and other points of in terest in the west. The bride wore a beautiful trav elling suit. It was a mont becoming model of midnight blue and with this was worn a blouse of Georgette crepe and black velvet bat sailor shape mounted by a lovely aigrette. Gloves and shoes to match, complet ed this stylish toilette. Mr. and xMrs. Cain on their re turn will be at home to friends in ^ Greenwood, S. C. Genuine regret is felt at the removal of the bride and a nu m ber of friends reluctantly yield her to Greenwood. The wed ding preseuts were uumerous and ? very handsome.-Augusta Chroni cle. W. M. U. MEETING. (Continued from First Page.) might see just who composed each. Though only one year has elapsed since this charge was made we see splendid results from it already and expect greater development along all lines. Mrs. W. S. Middleton as chair man of mission study classes is the right one in the right place. She is so enthusiastic over it and so inter ested that I am sure no:;t year there will be a larger number reported to ber. Mrs. Mamie N. Tillman vice president of the western division then gave us a summary of her di vision and something of the work in each association in it. Thiis was very interesting to every one. After the appointment of some committees we were dismissed by Rev. P. B. Lanham and adjourn ed for dinner. That dinner can better be imagined than described. ID abundance, variety, quality and delightfully prepared, this was in deed a magnifi?e:it one and beauti fully served. Hot coffee and iced" tea seemed to flow from vessels that could not be emptied. The afternoon session was called to order by Mrs. Mamie Tillman, superintendent of Sunbeam bands. ( Exercises by children are always i interesting and on this occasion ( they all seemed to acquit themselves < with more credit than usual. A pro- t cessional of the Sunbeam bands ^ with their leaders marched in carry- ( ing banners and were seated at the L front. "Be a? little Sunbeam" was t then splendidly sung by them. Af- ] ter which Mrs. Tillman gave an il- 2 lustrated Bible lesson which was t enjoyed equally as much by the ( older ones as the children. Words \ of welcome to the Sunbeams were t spoken byB. P. Talbert, Jr., of. the ? Bethany band, there being none at j Clark's Hill. Tins was most hearti- t ly responded to by Eleanor Mims ( from the Edgetieid band. A selec- j tion by Catherine Gilchrist and song j "Be Sunny" by William Jones of Edgefield. A story of the Sunbeams beautifully written by Mrs. Curran j Feltham of Edgefield and recited by Frances Jones of the same place, j A pageant entitled, "The spirit of i royal service" led by Miss Jenuie Pattison and beautifully carried out in every detail by a number of chil dren. A banner is given each year by ' their superintendent to the band reaching tbeir apportionment first. This year it.was won by the Betha ny baud and wat hore presented to j Joe Major Lyon who had made such a splendid verbal report from his band. We now come to the sweet, sad ? service that is ia memory of those ' ? who have worked with us but have 1 I been promoted to that better land. . Mrs. B. B. Jones made this report ? and iv was received standing. A so lo in this service by Mrs. Tim of ' Augusta and one by Rev. T. H. 1 Posey was enjoyed by all. . The time for adjournment has come again and it is an announce ment that supper will be served on the grounds and every one expected i to remain,which thev accepted with- i out any insistance. The homes ad jacent to the church were throwu wide open for the use and comfort i of the guests. So free and genuine : was this hospitality that every one felt that they were in their own home. Supper was announced just at sunset and again the abundant and delightful provision was en joyed with the addition of hot fried chicken, hot biscuit and again the hot coffee and iced tea which re freshedevery one. In the absence of Dr. E. P. Jones who was to have preached the pro gram was a varied one but none the lens interesting for the night ser vice. Rev. P. B. Lanham presided. There were songs by William Jones and Eleanor Jd i ms, and recitations by J. T. Littlejohn, Frances Jones and MisB Florence Mims after which Rev. T. H. Posey preached a missionary sermon, using as his theme "How shall we perform the task assigned us." This closed the night service and we were all soon in what we each thought the best home aronnd there, the assign ments having been read out by Mrs. J.O. Marshall whom we all felt part ly belonged to Edgefield as we knew her so well while at school here. Another Edgefield faoe , familiar and loved by us all was Mrs. J. P. Nixon, nee Miss Minnie Lanham. Wednesday morning service was called to order at 10 o'clock, Mrs. Anna Eidson of.Trenton conducting the devotions after which Miss Has sle Quarles, superintendent of Y. W. A. work took charge. Report from the state superintendent of Y". W. A. was given by Miss Flor ence Mims and from superintendent of R. A. by Miss Jennie Patti son. The associational policy was here read and adopted. An invita tion was extended from the Edge field church to meet with the ladies there for an all day state mission program and executive committet raeeliug on September 28. Rev. T. H. Posey now spoke for the Seivern academy and asked the VV. M. U. of the Edgefield associa tion to furnish the nine tables for him in this school, the cost of eaob being about $10. So real did he make this need felt that it wat quickly done by the different socie ties. Mrs. W. O. Whatley, chairman of the nominating committee, made her report and suggested the re election of the present officers with the exception-of Miss Hassie Quarles who resigned as superintendent of Y. W. A. work. The committees, report was accepted and the follow ing officers were elected: Superin tendent, Mrs. J. L. Mims; president, Mrs. W. E. Lott; secretary, Mrs. T. P. Lyon; treasurer, Mrs. Fannie Tompkins; superintendent Y. W. A. , Miss Emmie Lanham; superin tendent Sunbeams, Mrs. Mamie N. Tillman; superintendent R. A. Mrs. W. ?. Cogburn, and Mrs P. B. Talbert, Mrs. J. T. Littlejohn ind Mrs. G. M. Sexton president of the respective divisions. Mrs. W. 5. Middleton's uperintendent mis don study classes. We were again aonored with a duet by two of the Bethany Sunbeams. An invitation from Gilgal waa extended by Mrs. Morgan to the W. M. TJ. to meet with them Tues la\ and Wednesday after the 4th Sunday in August 1916. This was icuepted with pleasure. Resolutions vere then read by Mrs. W, ?!. baines of the Mt. Zion society and inanimously adopted. It was a lil le past the noon hour but Miss henrietta Wright, state missionary it Greenville, conducted the noon? ide devotions and gave us a spien lid talk in a few words, using as ier theme, "Remember all the way he Lord thy God bas led thee" md'kWho daily loadeih us with bene its." lt has been a pleasure to us 0 have so many of the men attend >ur meeting. We appreciated their jresence and close attention, and felt honored to have them with us. Dinner is again announced but .his time it is the men of Clark's Hill who have prepared and are to serve us and well was it done. A barbecued dinner with the most de* ightfully cooked meats and hash with all the accessories, bread, pickles, tomatoes, salads and splen lid coffee but the ladies wanted a part again so they added a variety jf sweets and ice tea. Is it any word ier that we all felt as the little girl who responded to the Sunbeam ad dress of welcome and said, "do you lave this much all the time, if so ?ve want to stay." .. .'? That pretty music continues and 1 raws us back to the house again this time to listen to a prohibition iddress by Mr. Joseph Camp of Atlanta. The house is packed in all available space. Rev. P. B. Lan ham introduces him and for one hour and a quarter he holds his au dience tense with his eloquence, humor and facts. If an opportunity presents itself do not fail to hear him. The meeting is over but we can Dot close this without mentioning the splendid roads graded by the people themuelvet? and giving yon the most beautiful drives in wind ing toads that reminds one of the national highways among the moun tains and the scenery is almost as pretty. The chicken farm of Mr. and Mrs. S. T. Adams was a wonderful sight to those who had an opportu nity of visiting it. We all would have enjoyed it but lack of time for bade. We aluo regretted that the hour was so late and the distance before us so great that we could not partake of the last treat prepared for us but thank most heartily the kind, thoughtful and generous man who suggested it. We are all back at our homes but the memory of the trip is like a good taste, "'twill linger," and all who were there this time will be ever ready to accept another invitation from them. To the men, women and children, we thank you all for such genuine hos pitality'. Mrs. W. E. Lott. THJU, COLDS OF MANKIND CURED BY PINES!
