He has served one term and dur. ing that time has made the people of Edgefield a valuable represtntative. As Mr. Nicholson took a leading part in the deliberr ions of the sen ate, he was given important com mittee assignments and in that ca pacity,as well as by h is efforts on the floor of the body, he was enabled to render valuable services to his con stituency and to the people of the state at large. The experience gain ed during the present term will en able Mr. Nicholson, if again chosen by the people, to serve them to even better advantage in the future. Sullivan Schcol Closed. The editor of The Advertiser ac cepted an invitation last Friday to attend the closing exercises of the Sullivan school. Ever since the new building was erected several years ago, we have had a desire to visit the school but not until Friday have we been able to gratify that desire. The splendid new building is lo cated near the home of Mr. J. P. Sullivan, and because of the large part he had in erecting the new building and too because of his loyal support of the school all down through the years the people of the community, without a dissenting voice, decided to name the school for Mr. Sullivan. The name was worthily bestowed, for there is no one in the county more deeply in terested in the success of the neigh borhood school than Mr. Sullivan is in the school near his home. Of course there are other loyal sup porters in the community but for unswerving loyalty and faithfulness he is without a peer. The porch of the commodious new building was transformed into a stage upon which the exercises were held. The entire porch was en closed with canvass, curtains being arranged for the front. Evergreens and flowers were tastefully arranged on the stage, forming an appropri ate background for those who par ticipated in the evening's exercise. A pleasing feature of the occasion was the music supplied by the Winn-Seigler orchestra of four pieces. While the people were gathering and between the different ? umbers on the programme the or chestra discoursed sweet music that was thoroughly enjoyed by ali pres ent. The people of the community are indeed fortunate in having musicians in their midst that can be pressed into service on such occa sions. The programme consisted of reci tations, songs, dialogues, pantom imes and other features that were faultlessly carried out. Each one, from the smallest pupil to the old est boys and girls, performed their parts well. Rarely does one witness anywhere exercises that are more creditably presented. Mr. J. P. Sul livan, as master of ceremonies, an nounced each member in a graceful manner. The evening's programme was opened by a brief welcome address by County Superintendent of Edu cation W. W. Fuller. He coDgrat tilated the patrons upon their spen did support of the school and urged them to continue to fit their boys and girls for the duties that lie be fore them. At the close of the pro gramme Mr. J. L. Mims presented a medal which was offered by the teacher at theopeningof the session to the one who made the best record in attendance. This honor fell to the lot of a sweet little girl, Ollie Mayson. Miss Maggie Winn has been teaching the Sullivan school for the past five years and the splendid manner in which the bright boys .? '.d girls acquitted themselves Fri day night is a strong testimonial to '..e high character of her work. Til" patrons of the school can not d.. ....tier than to retain the services t>!

On the morning of Memorial daj May 10, Fannie Tompkins, one ol the brightest and best beloved among the women of Edgefield pass ed out to another company ol friends. She has been translated inte a sphere of eternal bliss, but how desolate are we that are left! We could not agree in our hear'.f to leave the tender memories of ih'u loving heart at the grave, and thai no estimate of her life ind eharactei be gathered together and reviewed. On Thursday afternoon all thc organizations of the town to which she belonged, her Sunday school class and the Sunbeam society, gathered in the Baptist church tc pay tribute to her memory. There were a number of other friend? present and the school mates of bet eaily days, from this community and from Trenton, and relatives and friends from the adjoining country. Many brought flowers and laid them on her last resting place and some of the floral offerings wert arranged on the pulpit during thc progress of the service. The meeting was opened by that beautiful organ solo, "We shall see him face to face." Mrs. Tillman playing. Mrs. J. L. Minis conducted the service, and asked that- each one sing with the idea in view that our friend had conquered and was now enjoying the blessedness of heaven. The first nong was "Sweet Bye and Bye," and then Mrs. Tillman came to the front of the choir platform hearing in her hand the Bible of Fannie Tompkins,the book that had been her daily companion and fw constant source of inspiration. As she held in her hand and turned the leaves she read several clippings and poems, all along the same line of thought the one encouraging the sunny smile and the speaking of the kind word now, the idea of spread ing the sweet mantle of charity over the faults of others and giving them a helping hand. The question was asked if each of us were to pass away to-day, could our Bibles he easily found and would the contents so forcibly exemplify the lives that we lead? Mrs. Shannonhouse sang "I am nearer my home to-day" (perhaps than now I think.) A sketch of this precious life was read by Mrs. J. L. Mims, and Miss Miriam Norris sang as a solo "Why do summer roses fade?" Mrs. Curran Feltham had written a tribute to the memory of this be loved friend, and as the part which the sunbeam society wished to give on this occasion, Eleanor Mims re cited the tribute, which is as fol lows: Tho' no angel by her silent grave Stands, in raiment of flaming light, Her resurrection to proclaim, and lift Our grieving spirit to immortal heights, Yet, we know her faith and service Won the tender "Well done" From the Savior she best served By leading others to His throne. We have gathered each a flower And, as we sing our Sunbeam song, We will place our loving tribute Her earthly resting place to adorn, May each blossom be transplanted To memory's sacred garden of thought Leading us onward and upward To the heaven she daily sought. -Curran Hartley Feltham. The congregation joined in sing ing "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere" and Mrs. Rainsford read that in imitable and suggestive poem, "If I should die tonight." The Suuday school class com posed of a dozen girls of the early teens who had for six years held Mrs. Tompkins as their teacher and had refused to be promoted from her class, each succeeding year, sat together on the front seat. Gladys Lyon a member of this class who had written a beautiful poem on 'Our Miss Fannie" had consented to have this recited, and Onida Pat ison another member of the class, iave this emanation from the full heart of one who loved her 3 early. Following this the class arranged memselves in the front of the au ?ience and sang "God will take care jf you," a song which their teacher bad loved. At this time, those who desired to do so, were called upon to ex press their love in any way they wished. This was responded to by Mrs. Abner Broadwater, Mrs. J. W. Peak, Mrs. W. B. Cogburn, Mrs. Lovick Mims, Mrs. Martha Barker and Mrs. Pendleton Jones, each in very few, but choice words. Mrs. M. P. Wells gave a beauti ful selection "Not changed but glorified," and the last tribute was the poem of Tennyson "Crossing the bar," put to the most tender and appealing music composed for this occasion by Mr. Blalock. He said he did it in tears but he wanted to do something. This |was sung as a duet by Misses Miriam N^rrn ?nd . . 1 . i . . i?" d? il .- . ?". * i fi. Iii J ... ?. iii vt i'?-,-.?-, ii IMO liver ill pas??d out in perfect silence through the door which overlooked the grave of dear Fannie, and other bowers were placed on the last rest ing place of this dear one whom we have Moved lung since, and lost i while." The following organizations par ticipated in this memorial service, this manifesting their love and loy alty: The Sunbeam society, Sunday ?chool class, the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Baptist Missionary Society, the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, the United Daughters of the Confedera cy, the Civic League. F. A. M. Engagement Announced. Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Padgett have announced the engagement of their daughter, Natalie Kathryn, to Mr. James Norwood Cleveland of Greenville. Their marriage will take place in the Baptist church June 28. The Advertiser joins the many admiring friends of these popular young people in extending con gratulations in advance.

Zion School closed on May 12, having completed one of the most successful terms in its his tory, being taught by Miss Mamie Cheatham of Edgefield, one of the most efficient teachers in the county. A large crowd was present to enjoy the exercises which were very ap propriate. Especial mention should be made of the play "Cinderella" which was carried out by the little folks, each child acted its part well due to the careful training of their teacher. We aie glad to state that the patrons of the school are most suc cessful in procuring Miss Mamie Cheatham for another term which when completed will bethree termsin succession, and we will all welcome her back in our community at the begining of another term. X. MOW Let us sell yo McCormick, Dee Mowers. All ar< We a^so carrj these mowers, come to us for : Meeting of Second Division W. M. U. ' Saturday was a delightful day for the ladies of the 2nd division. Horn's Creek had issued an invita tion and it was cordially responded to by a creditable delegation. Mrs. J. T. Littlejohn is president of this division aud had the meeting in charge. Mrs. .T. T. Atkins welcomed the delegates most graciously and Mrs. Julia Prescott responded as if in spired by the hearty welcome. Mr*. Littlejohn tnen took up the queries, and the ilrst one was, "How shall we Revive our Mission Societies?" This was well discussed by Mrs. Tillman, Mrs. VV. E. Lott, and Mrs. E. P. Junes. The next query was iHow shall we retain this enthusiam." Mrs. A. H. Young and Mrs. J. L. Mims responding, Mrs. Young made an especially inspiring response. The third query, was "How shall we revise our apportionments?" Mm. J. W. Gaines of Mt. Zion So ci'3ty made a splendid presentation of this subject formed broad view point, advising the women to divide up their apportionments equally be tween the members and also sug gesting the great opportunity that the societies have of engaging speakers and bringing uplifting en tertainments into the communities. These things of course cost some thing but the small admission fee would be gladly paid and several achievements would be realized at once, the uplifting of the communi ty and the raising of some money for their missionary cause. Mrs. Emmie Lanham announced here the fact that a Y. W. A. rally would be held at Parksville, to which each church must send dele gates, June 15. Mrs. Walter Miller invited all the ladies to paitake of lunch U?der their trees which proved to be a yeritable banquet. The accom paniment of iced tea helped won derfully on the hot day that it proved to be. After the recess a few words were spoken in memory of Mrs. Fau nie Tompkins treasurer of the Edgefield Association W. M. U. This was followed by a splendid ac count by Mrs. Tillman of her recent visit as a delegate to the W. M. U. of the Southern Baptist convention in Asheville. Mrs. J. M. Cobb made a talk on "Personal Science" and Mrs. E. P. Jones on "Giving," and Rev. P. B. Lanham and Rev. J. T. Little john were called on to speak. They gave expression to very kindly and encouraging words of their work of women. The goodbyes were spoken carly enough to give the delegates time to reach their homes before the night shadows gaubered, after a profitable day together. F. A.M. In a recent examination paper for a boy clerk's post was this question: "If the president and all the mem bers of the cabinet should die, who would officiate?" Robert, a boy of 14, thought for a time, trying in vain to recall who came next in succession. At last a happy inspiration came to him, and he answered: "The undertaker."-New York Journal.
