Harmony's Successful Florists. Notwithstanding the absence of the April showers and the belated May rains, one sees in driving hith er and thither many beautiful flow ers. The fact Is, be it said to the credit of the Edgefield ladies, both in the towns and rural districts, more attention seems to be given to cultivating flowers now than in former years. Two of the most beautiful sights the writer's eyes have beheld this spring were the geraniums of Mrs. Manly DcLoach and Miss Annie DeLoach. We were impressed both jvith the va riety of colors and the great pro fusion of blooms. "In The Arms of Jesus.''

Should Act Speedily To. the Voters of-the G th Ward: For six years ? have'served the town of Edgefield as warden, which public service' during that time has involved no small degree of sac rifice on my part. And now that the work of my office and the de mands upon my time have so ma terially increased, I am forced to decline to serve another term. It, therefore, behooves the citizens of ward six to take the matter under consideration at once, nominating some one to be voted for in the aj> proaching election. As the time is limited, I have deemed it my duty to apprise the voters of my decision, abd to urge immediate action. J. L. M i ms Commencement 1910.

De livery ci" Diplomas, Ex-Governor .Ino. C. Sheppard; Edgefield, S. C. Remained Faithful Ur.to Death. While the .Confederate veterans are being honored let us not forget the faithful slaves, for whom the veterans themselves have a very tender regard. Wherever they are found, the few- remaining slaves of former years should receive kindly consideration, not only for past faithfulness as servants but for their protection of the wives and chil dren at home during the.war, which fidelity is without a parallel in his tory. In this connection, the wri ter desires to pay a tribute to "Un cle" Alfred Butler who died last week. He it was who slept many a night during the Civil war upon the front piazza of our great grand mother, protecting the inmates of the house. Soon after the war "l?? ele" Alfred entered the employment' of Mr. A. .T. Norris and remained with the .family until his death. During the prolonged illness of Mr. Norris "Uncle" Alfred was constant ly with him, rendering in his hum ble way whatever service he could. Remaining, true to the promise made Mr. Norris, "Uncle" Alfred has been loyal and faithful to Mrs. Norris and Mrs. Tillman. He al was carried the keys and protected their property as if it had been his own. When a suspicious noise was heard about the premises he would get down his old gun and stay up the remainder of the night, saying "Miss Mary, you all go to bed. If anything harms you, it will be over ray dead body." Who does not ad mire and honor such loyalty, such faithfulness, such devotion to duty? The.faithfulness of "Uncle" Al fred was not without reward and ?incere appreciation on the part of those whom he served. Mrs. Nor ris and Mrs. Tillman gratified his every wish when in health, and when the good old man waTstrick en, occupying a house in the yard, they ministered to him with their own hands, personally seeing that nothing was left undone that would contribute to his comfort or allevi ate his suffering. In bis death they have lost a life-long friend,"-which loss has been very keenly felt. As an expression of their appreciation of his faithfulness and valuable ser vices, Mrs. Norris and Mrs. Till man will erect a modest but be coming monument over "Uncle" Alfred's grave in Macedinia cem etery. May the virtues and noble traits of Alfred Butler be emulated by the members of his race who shall come after him! Sewing Club Entertained. Miss Ora R'res entertained "the young: ladies' sewing club very beau tifully Wednesday afternoon last. The musical program and the spirit ed contests that were engaged in causad the time to speed rapidly by. Before adieus were said elegant re fresh ment? were -served.
