Blalock could not fill the engage ment which he made to preach in the First Baptist church au Orange burg Sunday. He was taken sick Friday and "his physician advised him to cancel the engagement, stating thatrit would be exceedingly unwise and imprudent to go to Or angeburg. Trenton's Floral Fair. The annual floral fair will be held at Trenton Saturday next in the old Methodist church. Turkey dinner will be served as heretofore for the benefit of the cemetery. The Trenton ladies are noted for both their fine flowers and fsumptous feasts, so all who go will enjoy the day thoroughly. The Advertiser be speaks for these good ladies a gen erous patronage. New Firm Progressive. H?d not the rain interfered with his plans, Mr. Lovick Smith, the popular manager of the Smith-Marsh Company, would have had a beauti ful float in the parade for his firm. The float was partially built but the inclement weather made it unwise to expose the expensive merchandise that was to be used in the decora tions. Mr. Smith says his firm will have a place in next year's parade. He realizes that it is a splendid op portunity to do some effective ad vertising, as well as contributing to the success of the fair. The Amateur Races. The amateur races that were held at the fair (these being altogether devoid of objectionable features) Friday afforded pleasant diversion for those who like to see "fleet footed horse flesh in action." The first was Oantelou & Wil son's "Free Giver" against Mr. B. B. Jones' bay. The former won. The second was Dr. J. H. Carmi chael's horse against Dr. A. H. Corley's gray, the latter being de clared the winner. The third was Mr. B. L. Miras' horse against Col. P. B. Mayson's thoroughbred, the latter winning. The fourth was Col. May so Q'S against Dr. Corley's gray, the gray being the winner. A Series of Sermons. Dr. M. D. Jeffries announced Sunday morning that he has planned to preach? a series ol Sunday evening sermons on ten young men of the Bible. The first of the series upon "Jacob, the grasping young man," was preached Sunday evening last and has boen very favorably com mented upon. Dr. Jeffries' subject for next Sunday night will be "Esau, the easy-going young man." The Sunday evening service may be varied from time to time by occa sionally using other themes than one from the series above mention ed.

That the almost continuous down pour last Friday made the holding of the parade impossible that after noon was very generally regretted. Some who had planned floats and rigs had to give them up altogether on account of the unfavorable weather, and it appeared for a time that the parade would have to be abandoned entirely. But, undaunt ed by rebuffs, discouragements and adverse conditions, the ladies who had labored so assiduously from the outset for its success would not let it fail. Announcing the parade for Saturday afternoon, the ladies of the parade committee got together all of the rigs, floats,school wagons, etc., that had not been injured by the rain and held an exceedingly creditable parade, one that would do credit to a muoL largor place than Edgefield. With Capt. W. A. Collett as marshal of the day the parade was formed in the Evans grove in the following order: Mounted squad from Edgefield Rifles. Commissioned officers of the S. C. C. I. momnted. Horse back riders, Miss Bessie Woodson with Master James Hart, 1st prize; Miss Mamie Cheatham with Master Oscar Cheatham. The Advertiser's decor ated vehicle. Trades display of Beaver Dam Mill, 1st prize. Lott school wagon, 2nd prize. Beaver Dam school, 1st prise. Decorated rigs, Misses Edwardina Blalock and Josephine Woodson 1st prize, Miss Janie Harris and Dr. A. H. Corley. Child's rig, Master Irvin Padgett and Miss Ouida Pattison, represent ing "Uncle Sam" and "Miss Co lumbia" 1st Drize. Wagon of c'owns; Float of U. D. C., and float of Dix ie Chapter, auxiliary of U. D. C. 1st prize. A prettily decorated auto mobile representing Capt. Bright's moving picture show was the lait to enter the parade. Although they were not awarded a prize on their exquisitely beauti ful rig, Miss Harris and Dr. Corley were showered with compliments. The child's rig was also a centre of admiration. Not only was the lit tle turn-out decorated in the best of taste but the costumes and demean or of the occupants were faultless. The fair association is under last ing obligations to the members of the parade committee for the valua ble services which were so unselfish ly rendered. Comment upon the exhibits and fair generally will have to be post poned until next week on account of the crowded conditions of our columns. For Sale.
