Union Meeting at Berea. A large congregation gathered at ?-Berea Sunday to attend the second day of the Union meeting. The occa sion was a very pleasant and profi able one. The sermon in the morning was preached by Dr. R. G. Lee, being very helpful and inspiring. During the intermission for dinner the social feature was greatly enjoyed, en abling neighbors and friends to have very pleasant conversation after the bountiful feast so graciously served by the* good people of the Berea church and community. They always make visitors in their midst feel at home and enjoy every minute of their stay. During the afternoon Mrs. J. R. Fizer of Columbia spoke, pre senting the cause of woman's work and urged loyalty and activity on the part of every one present. Dr. R. G. Lee also spoke briefly on the subject "How to Follow Up the 75-Million Campaign." The next meeting in Au- J gust will be held at Edgefield. Death of Little Frank Watson Ouzts. The death angel entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. W.. Ouzts Thurs day evening, May 27, 1920 and saw , fit to take from them their precious fi little darling baby, Frank Watson, who had only been with them 21 months, after an illness of only two weeks. Frank was a sweet and attractive child and loved by everyone who knew him. The ways of God are of ten mysterious and hard to be borne but we should be submissive to His r. will, knowing that God doeth all things well. How thoughtful we should feel to know that little Frank is now among the millions of angels surrounding the great white throne of God. "A precious form from us has gone, A voice we loved is stilled, A place is vacant in our home Which never can be filled." God in His- wisdom has recalled the boon His love had given and though the body slumbers here the soul is safe in heaven. It was hard to give Frank up, a little darling ?;O pure and sweet. But be is one mere angel that will be waiting papa and mama to greet. ! A FRIEND. ' A Card From Mr. Mims. To the People of Edgefield County: It has not been my purpose or de sire to enter the campaign this sum mer. Had I expected to become a can .?date, I would have made a formal ? .nmouncement earlier. However, ear ..nest solicitations from persons from offer my services to the county and lin person and by letter,' have caused me to consent to serve the people in :the State senate, if a majority of them so desire. The matter has been presented to me as a call to duty, in timating ' that I would be a slacker in time of peace should I refuse to different parts of the county, both State at this time. jSome have said to me in effect: We honored you two years ago ?and . now the people need the legislative,: experience you have gained. ?Some entertain the belief that the people's interests would suf fer,, were an entirely new delegation Elected, and if no member of the present delegation entered the cam paign, a new delegation would be .chosen. If the people see fit to select mie as their representative in the State senate, I pledge the same faith fulness and fidelity to duty for the ensuing four years ibat I bave en deavored to give in the past two as a member of .the House.

No. 2. _?-2-4tpd. _-_, Martha and Mary Thurmond Celebrate Eleventh Birthday. . On Friday afternoon, May 28th, the attractive little twin sisters, Mar tha and Mary Thurmond celebrated their eleventh birthday with a love ly party, to which a number of their little friends were invited. Peanuts had been hidden around the pretty lawn, and the children had a merry time hunting in the hedges and flowers for them. John Curran Feltham was found to be the winner and'was presented with a prize. Game after game filled the happy hours before the little couples march ed into the prettily decorated din ing room where delicious strawberry cream and pink iced cakes, with pink mints were served. The dining room table was center ed with the white iced birthday cake on which eleven pink tapers burned. From the pink shaded chandelier, four rose colored garlands were gracefully draped. Little tables were arranged around the room also, and all were adorned with sweet peas. Vases of Dorothy Perkins roses carried out further the elaborate pink and white color scheme. Numerous gifts were bestowed on thhe little hostesses and the very genuine good wishes that many more such joyuous birthdays may come and bring so much joy.
