Civic League Meeting.
The Civic League met Monday,
July 18, 1921.
Miss Cline, a pupil of Signora De
Fabritiis, asked to give a concert
sometime in August under the aus
pices of the Civic League. The league
will gladly cooperate with Miss Cline.
Fuller announcements will be made
later.
It was suggested that we have
short programs at our meetings to
stimulate interest in a Library Com
mission. It was stated that if we
could get a Library Commission, the
State would duplicate the $600 we
receive from the D. A. Tompkins es
tate, then the Federal Government
would duplicate the $1200.
Attention was called to the fact
that mosquitoes are plentiful.
: At the Flower Show this fall prizes
will be offered for canning, preserv
ing, fancy work, etc.
Civic League Sponsors for Con
cert of Southern Folk Tales
and Folk Songs.
The people of Edgefield will be de
lighted to leam that the recital of
Southern Folk Tales and Songs, be
ing prepared by Miss Mary Helen
Hynes and Miss Agnes Cline, pupils
of Signora De Fabritiis during the
summer session, will receive its initial
appearance under the auspices of the
Civic League' of Edgefield on the
evening of Monday, August 1st, at
the Opera House.
A rare enjoyment is promised for
all fortunate enough to attend, and
the eager interest shown in the pre
public announcement of this eventj
makes a capacity house quite to be
expected.
It seems particularly fitting that
Edgefield, with its historic atmos
phere and cultural tradition should
be the first place where this program
will be staged.
A widespread interest from neigh
boring towns and summering places
in North Carolina predicts a busy
season for these talented performers.
Interesting Meeting at Trenton.
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. Harmony, Edgefield,
Johnston, and Trenton were repre
sented at this meeting by men who
are really interested in making for
?a befter market for the truck prod
ucts of the Ridge. Dr. Long told of
[plans being worked out to organize
the truckers of Western Carolina into
one complete organization so as to
better grade and market such crops
as cantelopes, watermelons, cucum
bers, asparagus, etc. Also, Dr. Long
stressed the benefits of proper grad
ing and packing and cited instances
after instances where farmers had
lost and gained by poor and good
preparation for sale.
At the Trenton meeting delegates
from Edgefield, Trenton and John
ston were appointed to attend a gen
eral meeting to be held at a latex
date in the lower part of the State.
Mr. Johnson, District Agent, told
of how the sweet potato growers had
done good work towards getting low
er rates from the railroads and of
how well the Sweet Potato Associa
tion had managed their sales for the
past year.

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.

"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."
