Herlong for a large bas ket of peaches, the finest that we have seen this season. Music in The Home. There is no home which can claim to be the best type of a Christian home that does not have the right kind of home music. Music that de velops, music that modifies tenden cies to evil, music that makes chil dren obedient, music .hat makes the parents patient and loving, that brings brother and sister together in a bond of love that shall never be broken, music which brings the hearts of lovers together, music that awakens all the associations of the past and quickens reverence in the minds of those who would wor ship God-music in the home where the family altar is set up. Music has such power that the greatest of writers through the ages have paid their tribute*to it. One of the things I would recommend to you is the practice of "singing grace" at the table instead of the usual form of asking a blessing. Begin when two of you, husband and wife, set up your home together. There was a family in Kentucky who began in that wa3r. Every child, as it grew up, joined in. Like a harp, it began with two strings, and every child that came was an added string. Suing after string was added until there were ten children, and thus twelve strings. Their voices were harmonious, and the sound of their "singing grace" was waited for by the children passing on the street and the neighbors opened their windows to hear it. As the years went on the harp strings were bro ken. One child died, then another; until at last only two strings to the old harp, the mother and one son, remained. The old mother had a friend staying with her for compan ionship. One day, after an absence, the son returned home, and the mother said to him, "I am glad that you have come, I want to 'sing grace' once more at the table." So the table was brought up from the kitchen, where they had been eating their meals, the son sat opposite her and they sang "grace" again at the table. Think of the associations of the years of family life which that singing brought up to that mother. -The Examiner. Death of a Christian Woman. As the major portion of her life was spent in or near Edgefield, the announcement of tlie death of Mrs. Henrietta G. Carter, which occurred in Columbia last Wednesday, caus ed much gen nine sorrow here. Her body was oro?ght to Edgefield Thursday morning and interred in the family square in our village cemetery. The funeral was conduct ed by Rev. R. N. Pratt, a Baptist minister of Columbia who accompa nied the family to Edgefield. Mrs. Carter is survived by two brothers, J. B. Tompkins and D. H. Tompkins of Ninety Six, Mrs. R. W. Townsend of Ninety Six, and four children, Miss Kate G. Carter, S. T. Carter and W. M. Carter, of Columbia. She was born in Edgefield July 1345, being the only daughter of the late Maj. S. S. Tompkins. She was married on November 22nd, 1870 to the late Capt. J. H. Carter, who served in the United States navy prior to the Civil War, dur ing that struggle he was a captain in the Confederate army. Mrs. Carter was a devout Chris tian woman, reflecting by her in nate modesty and gentleness the true southern woman. She was a member of the Edgefield Baptist church, and during her residence here took an active interest in the affairs of her church. m Death of Mr. Vaughn. Mr. J. M. Vaughn died at the home of his son Saturday morning. The funeral was conducted Sunday evening at 8:30 by Rev. P. B. Lan ham and the interment took place in the village cemetery immediately thereafter. The funeral was delay ed in order to give his daughter who resides in Newberry opportu nity to reach Edgefield. Mr. Vaughn was a quiet, lawa biding citizen. He was a Confeder ate veteran and was highly esteem ed by his comrades in arms. He was a member of the South Side Baptist church. Good Yield of Wheat. In spite of the very dry spring, a larger yield of wheat has been har vested in the county than for sever al years-possibly the largest yield ever made. Besides the farmers who entered The Advertiser's wheat contest, we have heard of a number of very satisfactory yields. Mr. Henry W. McKie made over 59 bushels on between two and three acres, and Mr. H. M. Herlong threshed 50 bushels from two acres. As long as Edgefield county soil will make such yields of wheat there ought not to be much western flour shipped into this territory. Union Meeting. The union meeting of the 2nd di vision of the Edgefield Baptist as sociation will meet with Ebenezer church on Saturday and Sunday, July 29th and 30, 1911 at ll a. m Devotional exercises conducted by J D Hughey, moderator.

Whether light run-about or heavy touring car, the Ford has held its place among the cars that have the wearing qualities. As these cars are only sold in this coun ty by the Lott-Walker Co., of John ston, those who contemplate pur chasing an automobile should drop this firm a card and ask for a dem onstration of their merits. The Fords are not only properly con structed and made of the best ma terial, but the price is very reason able. Communicate with the Lott Walker Company before you place your order for a car. Mr. J. U. Rives lei yesterday for Cedar Mountain, N. C., making the trip in his buggy7. His family will go by rail the latter part of the week. As soon as Mr. Rives sets everything in order about his moun tain home, where his family will remain for the summer, he will re turn to his business in Edgefield. Union Meeting.

No better proof of merit can be had than the experience of friends and neighbors. Read this case: Mrs. L K Dunn, Edgefield, S. C., says: I have found Doan's kidney pills to be the best kidney remedy I ever used and I do not hesitate to recommend them. Kidney complaint came on me quickly, undermining my health with its torturing pains and wsikness. My kidneys and bladder both caused me much suffering and I had fainting and dizzy spells. Doan's kidney pills had been very beneficial to other members of our family and deciding to try them myself, I got a supply. I was not disappointed with the re sults, for this remedy relieved me from the first and soon restored me to health. I shall always recommend Doan's kidney pills for I do not think there is another kidney medi cine quite as effective." Fur sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
