Hi ALL, The Edgefield Advertiser has been a great source of information. I have copies and clippings from many dated in the early 1900's and they have provided a great source to my genealogy files. This newspaper has been in the Mims family for many years. It's editor, Mrs Suzanne Mims Derrick, has been very helpful in organizing our Mims Family Reunion to be held in Edgefield, SC the Weekend of October 23, 2004. I began a subscription ($20 per year) after my visit in June and have enjoyed reading about recent events in Edgefield even though my direct ancestors left there in 1892. Here is a link to The Edgefield Advertiser online: http://www.edgefieldadvertiser.com/index.php?SS=2 The recent taking of the newspaper museum building by the town is wrong and we should all throw our support to The Edgefield Advertiser by writing letters. We Mims and Mims relatives should not let this happen without a fight. You can contact Mrs. Suzanne Mims Derrick through the link above to show your support. Jim Mims Houston, TX
