Y.W. A. Will Meet Saturday.
The Young Woman's Auxiliary
of the Baptist church will meet
Saturday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock
at the home of Mrs. W. B. Cog
burn. This organization is prepar
ing for their fancy work bazaar
-early in March, fand ask contribu
tions ol this kind from all who will
aid them. Always encourage the
young in all their undertakings, for
commendable objects, for with them
in the words of George Eliot,
"every crucial moment is a climax."
[ New Spring Arrivals.
The attention of the early shop
.pers is directed to the announce
ments in Messrs. Rives Bros. ad
vertisements, in which ?they call at
tention to the many new spring ar
rivals. They have stylish oxfords
.direct from the leading manufactur
ers, large assortment of beautiful
?laces and embroideries, boys' knick
erbocker pants, ladies voile .erge
-skirts. Bunter Brown hosa, and
large assortment of spring: ging
hams. These goods %were all care
fully selected, a great deal of taste
being exercised. Shoppers should see
them before buying.
James T. Bacon.
lt is pleasing to note the monu
ment which has been placed at the
grave of Col. Jas. T. Bacon in Edge
field is a plain, modest cross. Any
thing ornate or pretentious, any
thing not of exquisite taste, would
?desecrate the memory of the simple
.hearted gentleman whose quiet rest
ing place has been marked by this
?ross. Col. Bacon's memory of
coarse needs no stone to perpetuate
it. He was long ago securely placed
ia the choicest traditions of old
JEa?ofieldv rich in traditions as

in piano tuning and regulating at
the Chicago Conservatory of piano
tuning, and is fully qualified, to do
reliable work. He hereby solicits
your patronage. Have your piano

get your orders at The Advertiser

later at Greenwood.-Adv.
Edgefield Girl Honored
Miss Dorothy Miller, now a stu
dent at Orangeburg, who taught
last year at Plum Branch, has sent
iu a communication from the Or
angeburg Collegiate Institute and a
.greeting to her old Edgefield friends.
Among other items of interest is
the statement that Miss Mary

now president of the Literary So
ciety, and that she has been elected
by the college Young Woman's
Christian Association as a delegate
io the state Y. W. G. A. which
will be held at Lander College,

brance of The Advertiser.

In Memory of Mn. LE. Jackson
The beautiful and useful life of
I Mrs. JJ. E. Jackson came to a close
?on Nov. 16th. Mrs. Jackson was
Miss Nannie- Elizabeth Holstein.
She was first married to Mr. John
Mundy. After his death she mar
ried Mr. Luther Jackson, who with
one daughter, Mrs. E. S. Johnson,
survive her. She was the mother
of only two children, Minnie and
Corrie Jackson. Her youngest)
daughter, Mrs. W. E. Holstein died
ten years ago, leaving a little infant)
daughter ten months old. Since
then this child has been under the
special care of Mrs. Js.ckson, and
so beautifully and tenderly was the
child cared for by her devoted
grandmother.
Ia early childhood Mrs. Jackson
joined the Baptist ehurch. She was
a member of this church until after
she married Mr. Jackson, then she
joined the Methodist church with
her husband.
There is never a time when we
are willing ?to give up our loved
ones, but I think we should feel
thankful that this beautiful spirit
was spared this long, and as she
was so well prepared and willing,
we should cheerfully wait for that
glorious morning when the saints
shall rise. The memory and influ
ence of her long devoted and con
secrated life will never be forgotten
by her one daughter and grand-]
children to whom she* was so faith
ful.
Her grandchildren are, Corrie)
Holstein, Luther, Elizabeth and
Ethelyn Johnson.
"We shall sleep but not forever
There will be a glorious dawn,
We shall meet to part no, never,
On the resurrection more."
Niece.

The Pity of it
Hearing the crash of China,
Dinah's mistress arrived in time to
iee her favorite coffee-set in pieces.
The sL.ht was too mach for her
mercurial temper. "Dinah," said she
"I cannot stand it any longer. I
want you to go. I want you to go
soon, I want you to go right now."
'-"Lawzee," replied Dinah, "this
Barely am a co-instence. I was this
very minute cogitatin' that same
thought in my own mind-I want
to go, I thank the good Lawd I kin
go, and I pity your husband, ma'am,
that he cant go."
