At 1:30 o'clock on Monday night there came an earthly end to a short but beautiful life, when Willie Sul livan Peak passed out from the con fines of a limited existence to a land eternal and full of joy. Willie was born in September, 1900, and had lived all her life in Edgefield. She had been from her childhood on an example of energy and studiousness, with wholesome ambition for an edu cation and to do the best things in life. As a little girl she was not?d for faithfulness at Sunday school, never missing a single day for more than seven years. She was a continual prize winner in her classes for scholarship and attendance. In her graded and high school ca reer she was always among the very first in scholarship. Having finish ed two years with honors at Win throp College she was taken ill more than a year ago. First she had influ enza during her last winter at col lege, but had apparently recovered and was looking well when she re turned for the vacation. When the Students' Entertain ment began in 1918, she took part in reading, being gifted in this art, and in 1919 when the rehearsals be gan, she was one of the first to come and to take part enthusiastically. Before the time had arrived for this to take place,, she had been taken very ill with fever, partially recover ing from that and going to the State Sanitorium- in Columbia where she remained for the fall and winter months. In the spring she came home, and was surrounded by her devoted fath er and mother and her affectionate sisters. and little brother, ? who gave pt their best to her comfort and cheer. She said before her death that her favorite passages of Scripture were "I am the way, the truth and the Life," and "In my Father's house are many mansions." Willie was 19 years of age, which reminds us of the life of Mary Wil lard, the beautiful sister of Frances Willard. Miss Willard wrote a biog raphy of this dearly beloved sister, and called it "Nineteen Beautiful Years." Willie became a member of the church when she was seven years of age and was baptized by Dr. C. E. Burts. The last words she said were "Oh Mother," as she was drifting out into that beautiful land beyond the stars "where the weary are at rest." The sympathy of all the communi t}' and the county where Mr. and Mrs. Peak are known, go out to these bereaved parents and sisters, Mrs. P. H. Bussey, Mrs. Otis Mob ley, Mrs. David Britton and Miss Royall, and the little brother, Ed ward. The funeral was conducted from the Baptist church by her pastor, Dr. R. G. Lee who came in his car from Gray Court, where he is con ducting a meeting to be present. The pall bearers were Messrs. Walter Cantelou, Claud Harris, Fran eis Simkins, William Strom, William Thumond and Douglas Timmerman. A wealth of beautiful flowers cov ered the casket and^he front of the pulpit, designs having been sent by the Young Woman's Auxiliary, of which she was a member, the Wo man's Missionary Union, Daughters of the Revolution, Woman's Chris tian Tempeance Union and Daugh ters of the Confederacy, of which organizations her mother is a mem ber. Many beautiful floral designs were there from her family v and friends an agve evidence of the val jfc-iends and gave evidence of the val ue which the community placed upon this life of "Nineteen Beautiful Years." Candidate for Magistrate. In our candidates' column this week will be found the announce ment of Mr. J. M. Holland as a can didate for magistrate of the 4th dis trict. Judge Pardue will not offer for re-election. Mr. Holland is a young man, an adopted son of Edge field county, who is highly esteemed and has the confidence of all who know him.

"I expect this will be in the early part of Au gust, but, of course, the members of the national committee may have other ideas, and I will respect their suggestions. But I expect to start sneaking practically at once." Criticisms of his touring plans were mentioned and Governor Cox replied: "I can see nothing undignified in carrying the cause to the people."

Death of Mrs Cornelia Glover. On Wednesday of last week Mrs. Cornelia Glover died at the home of her only daughter, Mrs. R. C. Pad gett, having ben an invalid for sev eral years. She had also been denied for some/years the privilege of sight but was always cheerful and hospit able when friends called, never fail ing to show appreciation of a visit. About two years ago she had a slight stroke of paralysis, and had never fully recovered from this, two succeeding ones having occurred, the last one only a few weeks ago. Mrs. Glover was 72 years of age, and a member of the Catholic chuch, her funeral having been conducted at this church by Father Ford of Aiken, and her remains interred in the Village cemetery by her own re quest. During the years of her invalidism she spent most of her time with her daughter, Mrs. Padgett, where she received the most devoted attention and affection. Mrs. Glover was born near Pine Bluff, Arkansas and met her hus band, Mr. Mitchell 0. Glover when he visited that section on business. After her marriage she spent most of her life in the Meriwether section of Edgefield, for a few years living in Augusta to send her children to school. Mrs. Glover was said to have been a beautiful young woman. Besides Mrs. Padgett, three sons, Messrs John and Mitchell of North Augusta and Wilie, of Sweetwater community are left to mourn her loss. Death of Mrs. Lavinia Wright. Our Johnston correspondent gives a full account of the sad passing away of Mrs. Wright, but we are adding a few words. It was a great shock and grief to Mrs. Allie Kin naird to learn by a messenger from Johnston that her beloved mother had passed away suddenly on Wed nesday evening at the supper table, being perfectly well as far as any one knew up to that time. Mrs. Kin naird left Edgefield for Johnston at ll o'clock, having attended prayer meeting, not knowing of her moth er's death. Her death was so sudden that even the doctor did not reach her in time EDGEFIELD RESTAURANT We are now ready to serve meals at all hours, day or night. We invite the public to give us a trial.
