McCreless, a son of 3apt. James McCreless who was born ' ind reared to about 16 or 17 years >f age in Sedgefield -district (now f rounty). My father was a subscriber a thc Edgefield Advertiser at the 'me of his death which occurred in ' he carly part of the War Between h he States. He volunteered when he ? vas ?J2 years old; he said the morning ? ie left h?rne that it'was for love of ils country. Now, as a descendant am proud that he was a volunteer.i; ["he Advertiser was. the first news-j' :aner .1 cve.- knew cf. I am at this P ime living in west Texas, Mitchell1 .ounty, near Colorado which is situ- j: ioil on the bank ol' the Colorado riv-!' er. While this is considered a dry ?country and has just gone through a three years' drought, for a good many years it has developed into a good farming country and if we could only have the rainfall that the old states have it certainly would be the garden spot of the world. I am not ready to move. This country is j adapted to cotton, milomaze, ca.'Ii corn sorghum, etc. for feed crops, which I think can't be surpassed by anything for feed. When there is an average rainfall, small grain grows well herc, lt is also a stock raising country. Now let me explain why I am writ ing this letter. Through the kindness 01 a friend at Cleora I received two copies of the dear old Advertiser and it so bestirred my ambition I thought .I would write once and if it escapes the waste basket I may write again as I have some scattered relatives and friends in old Edgeiieid. Civic League Members. Thc members of the Civic League are requested to make some contri bution toward filling the Red Cross boxes for the soldiers. It has been suggested that such articles as candy, tooth-brushes, tooth paste, chewing j gum and toilet soap be contributed and sent to tne home of Mrs. J. C. ; Edwards by next Tuesday. Every sol- . dier should receive a Red Cross box I a and we feel -sure that the response to this request will be general and ? ' generous. j.. Death of Mrs. Banks. Monday afternoon Mrs. Lamar Banks died at her hoi. in the Borea j community. She became a victim of :! influenza and was ill only a short v time. Why this young wife and motli er should have been taken, breaking up the home circle and leaving three little children, is a dispensation of i i Providence that the finite mind can j wot understand. Cod knows best, how- J aver, and He doeth all things well, j " some day the reason will probably ! ie revealed. Before her marriage . .__- 1 .'.irs. Danks was Mies Ruth Morgan, j y i niece of Hon. J. Wm. Thurmond. I She was reared and spent h::r ca??y H i?e in the Morgana section of the) ;ouhty.: Thc interment took place j Saluda, Mr. Banks' former home, j tuesday afternoon. ?
