- Edgefield Advertiser WEDNESDAY, JAN. 22, 1902. Advertised Letters. List of letters remaining in the Post Office at Edgefield C. H., January 18, 1902: Miss Sarah Dantzler, Miss Annnie Hain, Miss Dina ?Jrow, Miss Lucy Da vis, Mrs ? Brown, S W Anderson, and Amos McConnell. When asking for letters on this list say "advertised." 7ery respectfully, W. H.BRUNSOS, P. M. Sad News. 'We learn from Mr Trapp McMa rins that Mrs Mack Johnson, of Monntain Cieek, while sweeping her house Sunday her clothing in 'S.-IUDC way caught afire and were al fnost entirely burned off of her. ss the oldest iaugh u v. Q Cogburn. It is very doubtful whether the unfortunate woman will recover. Measles In Greenwood Rev George W Davis sp:nt a portion of last week in Greenwood, with Mrs Davis and children. Mr? Devis went up there before Xmas "and while there the children have been taking time about having the measles, so Mrs Davis has been nursing instead of enjoying her visit. They have all bloomed now, and will reiurn as soon as it, is advisable to bring the chil dren, It was unnecessary to leave home to catch the measles-Edge field is up-to-date and can fur nish measles, mumps, whooping cough, etc., on short notice. Remember " the Park." We do not believe in always making- remarks, but we have rema* ked several times about the condition of "the park." Our rea sons for doing so was that we folt a pride in Edgefield. It would make a mule laugh to know that Edgefield called his hitching ground a "park," Why the idea of a park being used as a place for all sorts of refuse-ashes, straw, pa per, excelsior, etc. It is a disgrace for the mouument, erected by the good ladies in memory of thu Con federate dead, to be surrounded by filth and shaded by decayed trees. If Edgefield has any pride for her dear, old and far-famed town, let it be known by having the barn lot, knowu as "the park," cleaned aud kept in a respectable condi tion. Remember "tho pa k." Handsome 1902 Calendars. We have received a beautifi.. calendar of the New York Life In surance company, presented by tb>ir agents. Gaffney & Mims. Messrs Gaffney and Mims have .been Edgefield only a few months, but by their pleasant mauner 'and strictly business methods have built up an enviable business and madp. hosts of friends. ~^We all admire pretty girls and pretty pictures, and need aLd ap preciate calendars. Mr E J Nor ris has given us two calendars, one is from thc McCormick machine vori ir.tl . \h picture, of a . bering L- u HS in her hand a pla cird reading 'buy the McCormick mower, and reaper," and of course Mr Norris, the agent, is the one to buy from. Remember this. GOES TO GEORGIA. Rev. L. R. Gwaltney Resigns the Pastorate of Baptist Church. The members of the Edgefiela Baptist church were greatly sur prised when their beloved pastor's resignation was presented to the conference last Sunday mevning. The resignation was as unex pected as lightning from a clear sky. Dr Gwaltney's congregation is loathe to give him up and that the severance of the sweet and sa cred ties that bind pastor aud peo ple caused profound grief aud sor row was evidenced by the many husky voices and the tears that flowed freely. The resignation becomes effec tive ou 31st of January Dr Gwalt ney will leave about February 1st to fill the chair of Psychology and Christian Ethics in Shorter col lege Rome, Georgia. He will also serve the college as chaplain, preaching every Sunday evening to the collage family and being present at chapel exercises every morning. The position was ten dered him by the trustees without solicitation on his part. Dr Gwaltney is loved, honored and revered by every one in Edge field, irrespective of church affili ation. Tb.338 who are not avow ed believers in the Savior, whom he serves eo devotedly and whose life he exemplifies so perfectly, hold bim in high esteem and are by his daily walk and conversa tion constrained to believe that there is something REAL in Chris tianity. In the departure of this conse crated mau of God from our midst the entire community-not only the Bapt ist congregation-sustains an irreparable loss. The peiple of Edgefield have pot been fully cognizant nor appreciative of the good he has dene during the past niue year3. It will only he reveal-, ed hy comparing Edgefield of to day with the sweet benediction of his spotless lift and beneficent in fluence with Edgefield of the fu wilhoni bim. .'c. family will not b u me until early in the p.um* mer, hiter the dose of the scholis tip year Suing and I oan.

PAY UP. J. M. COBB. Why should citizens of Edge field patronize outsiders when they can get the same high class of art from their home photographer. It is an undisputed fact that Pho tographer Mims, who is a resident of our town, can make just as up to-date photographs as any man, but some people had rather help built, up a resident of Columbia or elsewhere, than to build up old Edgefield by patronizing home.
