The meeting will be held at Horn's Creek church at 11:00 in the morn ing and after lunch at the church Dr. 1 Burts will go to Republican church j for a similar afternoon meeting at 1 3:30 o'clock. I The announcement that an exami- j nation will be held for the postmas- ^ tership .at Edgefield is causing much ^ speculation as to whose pole will be , long enough to reach this political plum. Owing to the change of admin istration in Washington, the filling ? of postoffices seems to be largely a i matter of politics. Mr. C. M. Melli- 1 champ, the present postmaster, has I many friends, as was indicated by the i recent largely signed petition, who I hope that he will be re-appointed. He i has labored faithfully to give good J and satisfactory service to the pa- j trons of the office. . t Our line of ladies' and gents' ox- 1 fords are prettier than ever. \ L MUKASHY. 1 g The Corner Store is offering son special bargains for the ladies fi Friday of this week.

D. C. DURHAM, Clerk. Dated at Greenville, S. C., February 14, 1922. Death of Mrs. H. H. Scott. "Life we've been long together, Through pleasant and cloudy weath er, 'Tis hard to part when friends are dear, Perhaps it will cost a sigh, a tear. Then steal- away, give little warn ing; Choose thine own time; Say not good-night; But in some brighter clime, Bid me good-morning." With sad and bleeding hearts we bow to the dispensation of an all wise Father, who doeth all things well, though it is liard to see the wisdom in this sad bereavement. Death, when it comes brings a sad knell to some heart, and when the very sudden death of Mrs. Hugh H. Scott, of North Augusta was made known last Thursday, her many friends throughout Edgefield and Ai ken counties received the announce ment with complete and deep sad ness. Mrs. Scott was ill only a few hours and all that kind physicians and her devoted family could do was of no avail. t "Miss Essie," as we all loved to call her, was a beautiful, strong and un selfish character. She could not stay with us always, nor would she desire to be away from her God. She was kind and gentle to all whom she came in contact with and she was very charitable in deeds of mercy. Before her marriage she was Miss Maria Estelle Mays, daughter of Col. and Mrs. William Mays of beloved memory. At the time of her death Mrs. Scott was? fifty-one years of age 'and we thank our Heavenly Father for sparing this woman to us these few years. And we thank Him, too, for the ray of sunshine she always had about her. Besides her devoted husband the deceased is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Norman Law rence of North Augusta, one son, Judd ,Saxon Scott, of Tampa, Fla., an adopted son, George Spires, of Chicago, DI., one sister, Mrs. Henry F. Cooper, whom we are proud to call our friend and neighbor;'three nieces and on? nephew and a dear little granddaughter. The husband has. lost a devoted wife, the children have lost a kinoV, gentle mother, whose every thought ?was for them. Though her son and the adopted son were far away when their precious mother passed . away, they both hastened home to pay their last duty to mother. When Mr. Spires was a small lad, Mrs. Scott, with h r tender heart, took him in her h' f ?nd adopted him and he received e loving deed a real mother would i < own son. She could have ng. more pleasing to her Ma. .v. .be kind to a little child. We are sad and weeping tears of bitter grief; but not for this pure wo man-the tears are for those she loved. "Home is not home for mother is not there, Angels have taken her out of our care.". The funeral services took place at Sweetwater church on the following Sunday ot two o'clock. The services were conducted by Rev. Mr. MacFar lan, of Augusta, who was an old hon ored friend of the deceased? The minister spoke beautifully of the life of this noble good woman. The body was laid to rest in the .family square besides the graves of her mother, father and the three precious little, babes who were waiting with out stretched arms to receive mother. The floral offerings were beautiful and numerous. The pall bearers were : Dr. A. A. Walden, Messrs, T. J. Briggs, S. L. Medlock, Walter Cheathara, Sr., C. W Briggs, D. B. Duke.
