^^^^^^^^ ' VOL. 84 EDGEFIELD, S4 C., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1920 lyf No. 38 JOHNSTON LETTER. Beautiful Thanksgiving Ser vice. Address by Dr. Dorr sett. Visit to County Home. At the last meeting of the Wo man's Missionary Society of the Bap tist church it came to the attention of the members that there was a young girl near Edisto Academy, .leivern, S. C., that was anxious to attend school, but could not as she could not afford'a pair of shoes. The members voted to use the funds in the birthday box ' to purchase these and the treasurer was instructed to send the shoes on. . t This birthday fund is the result of each member as her birthday passes, drops into this box, a penny for each year. Miss Elise. Mobley who has been quite sick for the past two weeks, is now much improved. . Mrs. Huiet Waters and Master George are at home from a visit to Mrs. Osbourne in Alabama. A beautiful and appropriate Thanksgiving service was held here on Thanksgiving Day at the Luther an church, the sermon being preach ed by Rev. David Kellar, of ^he Methodist church, the pastors of'the other churches taking part. The col . lection taken was used for the relief of a needy family near town. During the afternoon of Thanks giving a basket ball game was played here on the school field, between Batesburg and Johnston teams. There was a good crowd out and the Johnston team was much elated for their winning the game, their team not being such an experienced one, has lost the pasat two games. But once having gained they propose to maintain this standing, hereafter. Everyone greatly enjoyed the ad dress on Sunday evening at the Bap tist church by Dr. Dorset of Ridge Spring, a former pastor of this has lost the past two games. But world"war Dr. Dorset spent abroad, and in his address he told something of the phases of life and conditions of the* French and Italians and he , carried on the great work /entrusted to him. Dr. Dorset is a very'scholarly, man, and a most interesting speaker. . He i was heard with* keen: interest. r?j It is hop'id that he will be able to be present again and speak further on the subject. Mrs. J. W. Marsh has returned from a visit to Mr. and Mrs. John Fleming Marsh in Columbia. For the past eighteen years it has been the custom of the Mary Ann Buie chapter, U. D. C., to visit the County Home at Thanksgiving and spread a dinner for the inmates, and I this time, the chapter decided to have a turkey dinner, and through the ! kindness of the wife of the stewart, i Mr. Allen, a turkey was procured, ; and most of the dinner was served ] hot. > Those of the chapter that went j carried the contributions of sweets and fruits. . 'The inmates were all in readiness, , and greatly enjoyed the day. In the , afternoon a servci ewas held in the ? little chapel on the hill. It speaks , well for the. county that there are so ? few inmates here. The present manager is the man for the~ place, and his big heartedness makes him care for these poor un- , fortunates that is not the outcome of his being steward. The home seemed to be in a very progressive state, and there was plenty. There was plenty of wood for the winter fires and quantities of milk and butter, and one of the la dies who had been experiencing some difficulty in procuring the above named has almost decided that she will go out to the home for the win ter. Miss Bell of Ellenton is the guest of her sister. Mrs. W. P. Cassells. Dr. Connerly returned on Satur day evening from the bedside of his mother in North Carolina who has been critically ill. She was operated on last Wednesday and is now im proving. Rev. and Mrs. Chester have been for a visit to their son, Mr. Leland Chester. His condition remains about the same. The bird season starting in on Thanksgiving Day a number of hunt ing parties left town at various hours and much game was bagged. All hav ing more than they wanted, were very generous and there was scarce ly a family the next morning that did not breakfast on game. Mrs. M. T. Turner and Mrs. O. D. Black attended the D. A. R. meeting at; the home of Mrs. Agatha Wood son, going 'upon invitation. Mrs. Turner gave a report of the work/ of Tomassee Industrial School, as ? part of the State conference report. At the Trenton meeting D. A. R., Mrs. Turner and Miss Zena Payne at tended and gave their impressions of the State conference at Anderson. The pleasant co-operative spirit that exists among these sister towns in such work is beautiful to see. The young people of the town had a very joyous hour on Saturday ,this> being spent with Santa Claus him self. At twelve o'clock he arrived via Augusta and his big car was filled with .every kind of toy and to every child that had come to meet him he gave a balloon. Many of the children gave him a memoranda of things wanted, while some were too awed to even speak, but all had a hand shake and some of the real good ones were held" in Santa Claus' arms. Old Santa was his usuaal jolly, self, and left town to the deep regret of every little heart. Many of the mothers find various changes for quietness, etc., on the part of many since Santa inquired of them if they were good. Mrs. David Kellar entertained the Apollo Music club Tuesday after noon and after business a most de lightful program was held. Mrs. W. J. Hatcher gave a paper on "Music as a Medium for Praise and Thanksgiving." Piano, "Stabat Mater"-Mrs. ? G. D. Walker. Piano, "McDowell's A. D.- 1620" -Miss Gladys Sawyer. Song-Mrs. Kellar.

Mobley has gone to Florida for the winter, and after Christmas Mrs. Mobley will join him. Mrs.- S. G. Mobley has gone to Hartsville to visit her daughter, Mrs. Eugene McAlpine. Guests last week in the home, of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Cox were Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Hames, Miss Marie Mc Whirter, of Jonesville, Miss Grace Zimmerman of Union, Mr. and Mrs.. F. S. Blair of Chesterfield. Mrs. I. T. Welling and little son are guests of relatives here. Mrs. C. P. Corn entertained with a bridge party on Monday afternoon in honor of her cousin, Mrs. Carl Richards. The rooms were cozy and bright with flowers, Mrs. Wilmot Ouzts won the prize, a bottle of toilet water and Mrs. McCalla, a visitor, as well as the honoree was presented with a box of correspondence cards. A tempting salad course was served. Mr. Arthur Gives Origin of Sousa's Name. Editor Advertiser: .Tn Miss Florence. Mims' article on "Sousa's Band" published -in-, last week's'Advertiser she.says: "One- can ?'g^t-:?o -'clue'- -frcrmthe sound of it as' to what the national ity of John Philip Sousa may be. The first part is good plain American. The second part might be French or Spanish or Italian and the latter part belong to almost any one'of a number of European nationalities." * I was fortunate enough to hear Sousa's Band fourteen years ago while they were on a tour of the Southeastern States, and thinking perhaps it may be of interest to some of your readers am sending you a story of Sousa's name as it appeared in some of his press notices, as near ly as I can remember. He is an Italian by birth, but came to America when a very small child. After attaining some small degree of . prominence, and having his name al most involuntarily misspelled or mis pronounced he decided to have his name changed. He accordingly made application to the Courts of New . York to be allowed to change his Italian to a good old Anglo-Saxon name, but he was unable to decide on the name he wished to bear. After some delay the judge decided to dis pose of the matter and did so in short order by "John, you wish an Ameri can name, very well, we'll just add U. S. A. to your last name and then divide it into two words. Your name is changed from John Philipso to John Philip Sousa. HENRY ARTHUR. Trenton, S. C. Meeting of W. C. T. U.

At the last meeting of the Civic League on the suggestion of Mrs. W. B. Cogburn, who was largely instru mental in making this undertaking a success some-years ago, the Civic League decided to begin the associa tion again and everybody is asked to begin thinking and planning for an exhibit next fall. This is a splendid idea and no doubt will be followed with enthusiasm. The money for this will be used in keeping up our town cemeteries Big reduction on all Blankets. SMIT*H-MARSH CO. Miss Flor?nce Mims' Impres sions of Minnesota-Wisconsin Football Game. Dear Advertiser: .The north and west are great places for sports of all kinds. I think the bracing climate and crisp air are responsible for this physical v?gi or. The people here were surprised that I -witnessed my first football game here in Aurora several weeks ago. The sport page of the papers have always been a closed book to me, so to speak. I tolerated them for the information ?hat I found on the oth er side. In an article for the High School paper the other day I stated that I would willingly substitute the waffle iron/for the. gridiron. I was not quite sure of the spelling of the term gridiron, so I asked a little seventh grade boy, who knew all about that subject, and he told me, wondering I suppose, how I. could be so ignorant, being a teacher. I have learned to have great re spect for the game, because of the admiration for it by many responsi ble people, but I have a dark sus picion that it can be comprehended only by the all-knowing masculine mind, so I attend the game, look wise, and say nothing, assuming me- ? chanically a pleased expression when ; I hear shouts of victory, for the side ' in which I am interested, and lapse back into a dull state nf non-compre hension when there are "no shouts.' Such is the way of the feminine mind. ; There are some things that we at tend because other. people do, and we think as a matter of course that we. must enjoy them, too. It waa some such motive that led be through the tall gates of the Minnesota Uni versity grounds the other day at Minneapolis to attend the football game between the Universities of : Minnesota and Wisconsin. There is something about a seated crowd that . is inspiring, and I like to be in the , midst of one. I am convinced that ij the audience is quite half of the oc casion, for were there no shouts of victory there would-be much less, ' pleasure in playing. . The. cheer. Jeaders, seemed'.like con ductors, of great orchestras, ;and skill-1 : fully playe'd . upon, the school ^spirit . of'/the students, making the, air f air^k ly resound ^vith''songs'' and' gripping : yells. I thought that I did well just ? to remember which were the Wis consin and which the Minnesota ' boys. At the conclusion of the game I felt as dejected as the rest when 1 Wisconsin won, though had Wiscon- \ sin been one of my neighboring ! Southern States I would have stood ; up for her against all the friends of Minnesota. The game ended abruptly when I , thought the fight at its height, and \ by us passed little boys, girls, grown ups, students and people of all ages, . young a^ain and living over their own youthful days. We left the crowd back in Minneapolis and sped 1 back to St. Paul for a more quiet time at the theatre. FLORENCE MIMS. Aurora, Minnesota. - " . Cleora News. (Written for Last Week.) ' The Brunson school opened on the ; 8th inst with Miss Emma Ligon of Bradleys, S. C., as teacher and about : 25 scholars. ' Mr. Jim Gilchrist will move to Edgefield soon and Mr. Sam Coth ran will move to Mr. Bunch Tim merman's place which he leaves. Mx*. Jim Griffis has bought a place on the Dixie Highway and will move to it as soon as he finishes gathering. Mr. and Mrs. Albert Reel were up Sunday visiting their kinfolks. Messrs. Yonce & Mooney demon strated their Fordson tractor and Disk plow and harrow on the farm of Mr. A. B. Holmes last week. Crops in this section turned out. fairly well, but the price continues to go down, which puts farmers in a pretty bad shape to make and sell a crop for about 50 per cent of what it cost to make it. If some wiseacre like^the editor of the Columbia Rec ord had com$ a little earlier with his warning against Mr. Wanamaker and Mr. Harris who are "fooling the farmers and are working only to pro mote their own interest" we might have been saved, but it came too late. I am surprised at any paper publish ing any such "rot." Some of the colored brothers were discussing the hard times the other day and one said he had seen hard times before and known some to be put in jail, but this year they were putting some "niggers" in jail and making them pay board while there. Day labor is still* scarce and high around here. Crops are about gather ed and the people are trying to put in good grain crops. .SUBSCRIBER. Cleora, S. C.

All the house was. artistically dec oi^d" in autumn leaves and the ta bl^ad as a centerpiece a high and syininetrical branch of oak leaves, through whjch the electric lights shdne'. and vases of lovely roses add ed ; a cheery aspect to th?occasion. We thought as we looked at the au tumn'leaves 'and of the season as ono^of sadness and farewell, that nature does not, so clothe herself be came as they say their autumn good bye^the trees and leaves put on their gayest colors of red and gold and seejri to regard it as a festive rather tha^a gloomy season.

Edgefield will have work to io in the next six months for this li brary of ours. Mr. D. A. Tompkins intended the town to do her part be fore this generous gift of his was turned over to the town. The Civic League is doing all it can but it seems to me the League is "Atlas fvith the world on its shoulders.' While in Savannah I shall visit meir beautiful Carnegie Library and familiarize myself with many of their methods. . . MARIE ABNEY, Librarian. ,???U~"\ ?_ Program of Music Club.

E. D. Kerr and was witnessed by a large assembly of relatives and friends. The church was transformed into a bower of loveliness with its pretty and effective decorations in a color motif of white and green-.-State ly palms and ferns were artistically arranged and lent an attractive set-* ting for . the graceful" traceries of I southern smilax, ?myriads of gleam-j ing candles and lovely white chry santhemums. Before the ceremony a throng of invited guests awaiting the appointed hour were entertained with a delight- , ful musical program by Miss Marga- ? ret JBurton, and "For You Alone" was sweetly .'sung by Miss M?ud Ep ting.

Just preceding thc bride came little Everette Deaver Evans, the ring bearer, carrying the ring in the reart of a large white chrysan themum. The. bride, who entered on the arm of her uncle, Charles Griffin of Edgefield, was lovely in her wed ding gown of heavy satin draped with effective grace, part.of the bod ice, the dainty sleeves and front panel extending to the bottom of the skirt were of handsome lace and over her whole figure fell the misty folds of the wedding veil, caught to her hair with orange blossoms.
