Director Long, of the Extension Service of Clemson College, and Mr. Henry S. Johnson, Dist. Agent Wes tern District, were at Trenton Sat urday to confer with farmers of the county regarding the marketing of truck crops.

Burleigh Edward Peple Brilliant Card Party for Mrs. A. R. Nicholson. Mrs. A. R. Nicholson was honoree at Mrs. Hugh Mitchell's card party on Tuesday afternoon, the brilliant function coming as a climax to the series of affairs given for the popular bride. Miss Gladys Rives met the guests on the veranda, inviting them to par take of the refreshing iced punch, served by Misses Eleanor Mims and . Mae Rives. The pretty cut glass bowl was imbedded in the pink blossoms of crepe myrtle gathered from the heavily laden trees which are such an adornment of the spacious grounds. Little Ethelyn Byrd and Marjorie Mitchell dispensed the at . tractive score cards for bridge. Twelve tables were arranged in the living room, library and dining room, which were thrown together by big open doors. At the conclusion of the games, i,the hostess assisted by Mrs. Julian Bland and Misses Elizabeth Rains ford and Marjorie Tompkins, served a dainty sweet course. , Mrs. Nicholson was presented with a couple of hand embroidered guest towels as a souvenir of the happy oc casion. The head prize, an embroid ered card table cover, was won by j Mrs. W. W. Adams, and to Miss Kel j ly went the package of gum, which ! was given as the booby prize. A number of guests from Johnston '. were present and the many out-of town visitors who are house guests in Edgefield, making a very pleasant feature of Mrs. Mitchell's charming party. A Distinguishing Characteris tic of Quaint, Old Edgefield. Possibly no place has retained more of the ante-bellum charms urough the trying reconstruction periods than quaint, old Edgefield. The old families linked together by ties of blood and loyal friendship, re tain customs of those former days when the colored people lived in "the quarters." The strife betwee the races occurs between very different types from these. On last Thursday afternoon there was given a tea, distinguished by genuine hospitality and old South ern interest. Ella Simkins, who, like her worthy ancestors, has always been indentified with Edgefield fam ilies, invited some of her "white folks" to come to her immaculate cottage 'on the "Abneywood" estate. The guests arrived promptly at five and were seated at a prettily laid, snowy white table, where an elegant two course tea was served. Delicious steamed, home cured ham, fried chicken, Irish potato sal ad, sliced tomatoes, hot biscuit and ice tea was followed by pound cake and ice cream. Nearly every item of the menu was grown by the thrifty hostess,'whose loyalty and friendship is prized by her many friens among her white neighbors. Those present included: Mrs. Willis Duncan, Mrs. J. W. De Vore, Mrs. Maner Lawton, Mrs. Hugh Mitchell, Mrs. P. M. Feltham and Misses Marjorie Tompkins, Gladys iRives, 'Elizabeth Rainsford, Mary Lawton, Marjorie and Emmie Dozier Mitchell. c m Just received a beautiful line of ladies' georgette and crepe-de-chine waists. L MUKA SHY. V Hynes a . Round ot ornin' Cline rn Hynes "Asleep in Jesus." ,0n Saturday morning, July 9, the death angel entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Holmes and took lit tle Herbert, the eleven months old adopted son. The little one had been ill only a few days. All was done that loving hands could do, but of no avail. He had lived with ?hem and bright ened the home only eight months, being three months of age when they took him for their own. His sweet smiles will be sadly missed in th?{ home, but we would not call him back i * for he is safe in the arms of Jesus. Grieve not, fond parents, at the (thought of parting. He has only gone before, and awaits you in a land far beyond the starry skies. Though his mission is finished here, he will al ways beckon us heavenward. The ways of God often seem mys terious, and sometimes hard to bear, but we humbly submit to the will of an all-wise Father, . who doeth all things well. His' little body was laid to rest beneath a mound of flowers in Red Hill' cemetery, Rev. W. R. Barnes conducting the funeral ser vices. "Ere sin could blight or sorrow fade, Death came with friendly care; The opening bud to heav'n conveyed And bade it blossom there." Abbeville-Greenwood Mu tual Insurance Asso ciation. ORGANIZED 1892.
