Citizens Met and Urged Dr. Burts to Remain in Edgefield. On Wednesday afternoon last one of the most remarkable meet ings ever held in Edgefield, and the only one of ifs kind, ever re membered here took place in the Baptist church. Edgefield has had many citizens of worth, but in the history of the town this is the first mass meeting ever held for tbe .ivowed purpose of giving expres sion to the esteem of the commu nity and to entreaties, that there be no separation. When the uews began to spread that Dr. Burts had given serious consideration to a call to leave Edgefield and go to Macon, Ga., as if by magic, so spontaneously was it doue, Bap tists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Episcopalians and citizens w'th out creed came together to deplore the leave taking of Dr. Burts, and use every effort to dissuade him from his purpose. After the cou grpgation had assembled, it was ifcided to invite Dr. Burts to meet the citizens at the church, instead cf at bis home, as was originally intended. Mr. W. B. Cogburn was asked to take the chair, and a committee consisting of Messrs. A. E. Padgett, W. H. Harliug and A. S. Tompkins, were appointed to go to Dr. Burts and requebt bis presence Mr. Cogburn explained to Dr. Burts the reason for the meeting, which was to bring to b<-ar on him every influence pos sible to havp him remain in E dge fijld-aud 11 express regret athis intention to go away. The argu ments and appeals of the brethren at.d the manifest grief of the good women were touching in the PX treme. Dr. Burts made a talk in re-pom=e, which was in keeping with his great heart and mind, and he promis? d to give the mat ter weighty aud serious considera tion; although his arrangements to go had gone very, vary far. He S3id that he would be happy and satisfied to reside in Edgefield the remainder of his life if he could know it to be the willoi the Lord. The prayers of the people are that Dr. Burts will remain in Edgnfield. Those who have tried our "White Star" Coffee will use no other. G. L Penn & Son.
