Sunday was a most beautiful spring like day. Yesterday was clear and cold. The sudden changes in the weather Is productive of la grippe, coughs and colds. Squire John Alexander was ? the city yesterday. Mr. Alexander we regret to learn, is not well. He is getting up in years and it is difficult for him to recuperate from an indis- prosition. Old Man Gus Folger is a grand- daddy, a fine young gentleman hav ing been born to Mr. and Mrs. V. Me- Williams* of Greenville, last Friday. Here's to the old man as well as the new arrival. The entertainment by local talent for the benefit of the Methodist church will be given at the Star Theatre next Friday night. Look out for the program in the next issue of The Ledger.

Jr., entertained a number of their lady friends at a Valentine par ty Friday afternoon from 3:30 to 5 o’clock. The afternoon was most pleasantly spent by those in attend ance and each and every one repair- to their homes full of praise for the most cordial reception tendered by Mrs. Harris and Mrs. Hopper. A negro giving his name as Whel- chell, who lives on Sheriff Thomas’ plantation went to a festival on the Sam Whelchel (old Purser) place Friday night and raised a disturb ance. He drew a pistol and frighten ed the women and children. He was arrested Saturday and brought to jail and given a hearing before Squire John Alexander yesterday. At the First Baptist church Sunday morning Dr. Simms preached an able, im.tructive and interesting sermon from Genesis 12:1: “Now the Lord said unto Abraham. Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house unto a land that 1 will show thee.” The music was a.feature of the service, Mrs. Gooding’s organ solo being es peciallv fine. rv and environment he depicts. There in lies the charm of all he does. Truth—truth to the South of Suwanee river, of the .Tucklines and of the waters of Caney Fork. For richness of color, one could not well surpass , a study In the mountains of Tennes- j't' see. Virginia or North Carolina. For 1IM a languorous, dreamy day of match less ease and leisure, one could not surpass the valleys farther south. Few know this life so well as Opie Read, and none have so well express ed it. jjpdeed, so virgin is this field that both Read and the South would be serious losers should Read be tempted to forsake it. But he never will. Once the Southern dream, the witchery 'of the Southand’s moon light and the spell of the wild honey suckle and the sweetbrier perfume get into the blood they bum like blue fire, like the madness of the blue rose, as long as life lasts. Read’s senses are permeated with the breath of the South’s blue rose.” Before buying or selling a farm or anv property, write to The Carolina Realty and Trust Company. Bishop- ville, S. C.

At Limestone College Tonight. Mr. Edwin Wilson, the baritone, will be at Limestone College tonight, He is regarded as one of the fore most singers of the day. Of him the Musical Courier says: “The song recital of Friday eve ning of last week, was a brilliant en tertainment which was enjoyed by an audience which filled every seat. Many late comers were content to enjoy the music standing. The fine , urogram was given by Edwin Wilson, an admired baritone whose artistic singing always is delightful. The wide range of songs enabled the sing er to show his uncommon verltillty. Mr Wilson is at home in all vocal forms. He possesses great dramatic talents and invests with intense fer vor such songs as demand this treat ment. He Is equally great at the other extreme, singing with simplicl ty and daintiness such songs as do not demand force and fervor. Mr. Wlson’s method of vocalization is legitimate, and in all the essays he discloses a bright musical Intel ligence. From whatever view con- sided, the song recital Friday night was a success” The dummy will. run. leaving the depot at 7:30 o’clock. The disigns are prettier than ever before.
