The introduction to the Woma i Voters' Manual, the text book fo the studies on citizenship to be cor ducted by Mrs.. Tillman at all sue ceeding meetings, was given by MK J. L. Mims. * A beautiful and instructive pape on "Heroines of W. C. T. U. Hif tory," was read by Mrs. B. E. Nicli olson giving some of the early pion eers who dared the unpopularity o those early days for their home an: country's sake. "High Points of the National Con vention" was a resume of the won derful Victory Convention in St Louis, making that occasion seem al most real by the gifted personalit: of Mrs. Tillman who hag artende? several conventions of the W. C. T .U. and knows how to appreciate anc impart the most impressive scene: of such an occasion. Miss Grace Brumbaugh, the Coun ? ty Health Nurse was present on in vitation and was called upon for i presentation of her work. She offer ed her services in emergencies anc urged the more vigilant interest ir . the conditions of the schools and san itary conditions by all the women ol our county. Miss Brumbaugh has made some discoveries in regard tc our children*, two or three of which are worth all the amount of one years' appropriation for her ser vices. The first committee report was that on ihe French Orphan Box, which was sent to Marie Olivier and valued at $12.00, containing use fpl articles of clothing, candy and toys for the little six year old orphan of our union. Mrs. W. L. Dunovant made the re port of the Year Book committee designating the' hostesses, time of meeting and program and plans for the year. j Mrs. W. B.

Mrs. Timmons was al ways a faithful and devoted member .of the Edgefield union. Mr. Nicholson was an ever willing aid in any time of need, being both effective and willing in his services to the W. C. T. ?. There has not been a public occasion for any great pur pose since his departure from us that we have not felt the need of him and realized the great loss sustained to every holy cause.

For all the sixty-three years of her life, Miss Sudie Covar has Jbeen a resident of Edgefield. She has lived a calm life as appears to the outside world, but full of responsibilities 'and cares within her home circle. When she was but a girl she became a member of the Baptist church, having been baptized by Rev. Luther Broadus and converted under the preaching of Dr. Luther Gwaltney. Over the mantel of her bed room at the time of her. death hung a picture of another beloved pastor and his wife, Rev. and Mrs. T. D. Clark, j For more than three years Miss Sudie has been failing in health, and has not been able to do as much as she had done in the past to serve the world and her community, but she i was always cheerful and sympathet-1 ic and helpful as far as she could. Many year sago, her sister, Mrs. Paul, died leaving nine children with Miss Sudie left to take care of them. The youngest, Mr. Warren Paul, was but two years of age and Mr. Tom Paul and Ellie, a few years old er. At the time of Miss Sudie's death i was living with Messrs. James and Tom Paul and Miss Ellie. < She died about 8 o'clock Saturday morning, having risen at the usual hour and dressed for breakfast, and going into the kitchen complained of being cold, and in a few minutes be came helpless and id the aid of friends or physicia: .. Jhe was laid to rest qn 'Sunday afternoon under a lovely magnolia tree which she had planted with her own hands to shade ! and shelter the resting place of her i beloved dead who had passed be- ' fore. She was always, as long as she could be, an attendant on Sunday School and church services and a con tributer as her means allowed to ev ery goNod work. The funeral occurred at the Baptist church, Dr. R. G. Lee, her pastor and near neighbor, officiating. Her favor ite hymns were sung and many of those who loved her were prese on the front seat and many friend?, who had known her from her youth up came to do her memory reverence. Beautiful flowers covered her last resting place and were covered in the grave with her. Dr. Lee made a most appropriate and touching tribute to her life as he had known her for sixteen months. Those who are left of her immediate family, her nieces and nephews are Messrs. James, William, Tom and Warren and Miss Ellie Paul. What Everyone Should Know. The Fourteenth decennial.
