Sad Death of Mrs. James T. Mims. Tuesday night at ten o'clock, after a short illness, Mrs. Kate Hill Mims passed away into the great beyond from her happy home in South Edge field surrounded by all of her devoted family. Mrs. Minis contracted influenza, and from the first,-the worst had been anticipated, as she was not strong,, and had suffered a number of severe illnesses Mrs. Mims was a member of the Edgefield Methodist Church and was kown for her sweet and gentle, yet firm Christian character, loved and esteemed by all who knew her and the object of devotion in her own im mediate family. She was 58 years of age at the time of her death. On New Year's day, she was well and happy, attending that day a fam ily reunion at the home of her son, Mr. B. L. Mims where all of her fam ily were together for the first time in many months, her two sons, James and John having just been discharged from the army and were present to make merry on this happy occasion. The remains were laid to rest Wed nesday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock in Willow Brook cemetary amid a large concourse of sympathetic friends and sorrowing relatives. The services were conducted by Rev. R. G. Lee of the Baptist church, Rev. A. L. Gun ter, her pastor, being sick.

A beautiful service waa held in the Baptist Church on Sundav afternoon January 5, at 3:30 for the older peo ple of the Baptist Chur'-h and the community. The weather was very cold, but in spite of that thc meeting was very well attended, about twenty five of the special guests of the occa sion being present. A number of the mos1" gracious young girls of the church were invi ted to meet the guests of honor and pink carnations wera pinned on each before they entered. Inside another group further adorned them with souvenir cards which contained a com fortir.ir verse of scripture, that solace for the young or old. j The music was beautiful and in Ispiring, most of it being the obi time songs which will never grow old in the sense of being out of .late, j The quartette sang among other ^hinps, "Seeing NeittS Home'' and a j lovely number was ' In the Chris tian's Home in Glory," hummed by the choir and the chorus sung, which Mr. Lee said he had heard his mother do so sweetly many timos in his child hood. Two features of the program were the singing of "Long, long ago," by little Carolyn Dorn in the becoming costume of the GO's, and "When you and I were young. Moggie"' by Mar garet Lyon arrayed in the costume of an old lady, both charmin cr thc hear ers by their sweet faces and singing. Miss Miriam Norris sang that gem of ?ld love sonirs, "Silver threads among the gold." The sermon subject was "The Mel low Year" preached by tho pastor, Rev. R. G. Lee, whose kindly thought and planning had made thc meeting so helpful and so comforting to all, both old and young who were fortu nate enough to be present and partici pate in the delightful occasion. A quaint feature of the meeting : was the lining out of the old hymn, j "There is a fountain filled with blood/' and the singing without or gan accompaniment by the congrega- ' ti on. Many expressed themselves as ben- j efittcd by this service and are hoping 1 for another one not far in the fu- j [ture. A THOROUGH TEST i One to Convince the Most Skeptical Edge?e?d Reader. The test of time is the test that j : cunts. Dean's Kidney Tills have made j their reputation by effective action. The following case is typical. I Edgefield residents should be con vinced. The testimony is confirmed-the proof complete. Testimony like this cannot be ig nored. Mrs. K. L. Lowe, of Edgefield, says: "I received great benefit from; using Donn's Kidney Pills and I am j glad to endorse them at this time. My j back bothered me for months. I was ? weak and all run down. I knew- my kidneys were at fault and I bc2;an u- ! sing Donn's Kidney Pills. Donn's soon gave me quick and positive relief." i The above statement was given April 12. 1911 and on February 7, j 191S Mrs. Lowe said: "Doan's Kid ney PiiL have proved fine when I had ? ; occasion to usc them. I am glad to, again recommend them. I haven't had to take a kidney medicine in a long time." < Price GOc, at ail dealers. Don't sim ?ply ask for a kidney remedy-get Dean's Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. Lowe had. Fostcr-Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y. Bowles Morgan Writes His Parents from France November 16, 1918. Dear Pa and Mamma: I suppose you all think I am not going to write any more, but we have been on the move ever since I wrote you the last time, and I had no chance to write, but as the war is over now, and we are settled down ?for a while, I will drop you a few i lines. The good news was a relief to you, I suppose. I cannot say just when we will be sent home, bu.. I do not think it will be long, I hope I can get back by j j Christmas, but I will not bet on it itoo strong, because I may get disap pointed. You ca. look for me now ?when you see me coming. 1 know we ?will get back sometime this winter. I was in the last battle that was fought and could have almost pitch ed a rock across in the German lines when the last gun was fired. Well, I will wait until I get home to tell all the little details. I hope all of you are well. I am just fine, get j plenty to eat and don't have much ?work to do. J I've just finished reading Mamma's llctter that was written the 20th of October. I will answer in a few days. I think I can write oftener now, for la while anyway. I suppose you are 'through gathering by now. Know you will get a good price for your cotton. I Hope you made a good1 corn crop. ?Save me some for next year. Well, as the boys are talking so, I can't write. With love to all. Your devoted son, Corporal W. B. Morgan. The Best Cough Medicine. When a druggist finds that his cus jtomers all speak well of a certain ! 'preparation, he forms a good opinion of it and when in need of such a med icine is almost certain to use it him self aral in his family. This is why so many druggists use and recommend j Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. J. B. j Jones, a well known druggist of Cub-1 run, Ky., says: "I have used Cham berlain's Cough Remedy in my family for the past seven years, and have found it to be the best cough medi- j cine I have ever known."
