On Sunday evening next the regular monthly union Bervice will be held in our Methodist church. The sermon will be preach ed by Rev. C. E. Burts. These meetings are always very largely attended by members of all the churches and by many who are not members of any church. The building, being always well heat-] ed, will be-very comfortable and there is no good reason, even should the weather be somewhat inclement, why every seat in the church should not bo taken. Fresh Citron, Currants, Sepded Raisins, Figs, Nuts, Dates Prunes can Joe had from us at very reason able prices. TIMMONS BROS. ?

She, was honored by being chosen one of the brides maids. The Advertiser is indebted to Senator B. R. Tillman for a beau tifully and substantially bound copy of the Congressional Direct ory. It coutains a great deal of I valuable information. During the last week we have noticed that a great number of j large loads of hay and fodder bave been brought in and sold on this market. This indicates that many farmers have made all they ueed at home and have a surplus | which is being converted into cash. A great number of bogs are being^fattened and killed this fall, ?nd the weather has been ideal for curing meat.

A m ou g tBoB?" who will share the pleasures of the occaiion will he Mr. and Mrs. Joenph Maner Lawton, of Savan nah, who will then make their first visit to Edgefield since their marriage aud departure upon their wedding journey. A very cordial greeting awaits them. The-wise and prudeut farmer will make all of the barn-yard cnanute that he can and will then supplement that with commercial fertilizers, buying tho latter ac cording to the need of his soil and the crops that he contemplates growing. The Edgefield Mercantile Company is now ready' to mak-3 very reasonable prices ?o all kiu'ds and grades of fertilizers. Call and let them figure with you ou ou? sack, one ton or one hun dred tons. At the regular meeting of Con cordia lodge, A. F. M. on Friday evening laBt the following officers were elected to serve for the en suing year: B. E. Nicholson, worshipful master ; W. W.

Holstoo, and W. B. Duuovant, stewards. The season for "moving kitchen furniture*' has arrived aud it ia not ui'common to see now, almost daily, large wagons piled high with household effects. New plans and uow contracts have caused some, especially colored people, to change their base of operations. Doubtless it would be .better for mauy who have nut been satisfied with their lot for the past year aud who fancy that they can bet ter their condition to "endure the ills they have rather than fly to those they know not off" The missionory society of our Baptist church, like those of the other churches of our town, baB steadily grown iu numbers, in zeal, in power, in usefulness, and much lasting good is bei?g accom plished by these consecrated Chriatiau women. They haye juat seut a barrel of sundry articles of clothing to Miss Maria Jones,a statp missionary located in Colum bia, to be distributed according to their needs among the poor in the mill villages of the capital city. The barrel is estimated to be worth $25 which is probably but half of its real value. Dr. James Byrd and Dr. James Dobey have returned from the Atlanta Dental collage to be with the homefolks during the holidays. Notwithstanding the very hard work that Dr. Byrd bas been doing at college, he has gained consider ably in avoidupois, looking as fresh and bright as a brand new dollar. We have not yet laid ey^s upon our esteemed young friend, Dr. Dobey. Rumor has it that Cupid directed him to Parksville before coming to Edgefield-and we are inclined to believe that ere is much truth in it. In the new county election those of the voters liviuginthe territory proposed to be cut. who formerly voted et Pleasant Lane will vote at Liberty Hill precinct, and those in Meriwether at Modoc. Remem ber this, and even though it wi'l entail some trouble, get your registration tickets and turn out and .vote. Mr. John M. Daniel, youngest son of Dr. and Mrs. J. F.

In the ages of children up to twelve years, their misfortunes, from baby's prickly heat to .1 he boy's open 6ore, aie many. Few parents realise the therapeutic value of sulphur for skin diseases and impure blood. Hancock's Liquid Sulphur, Na ture's Greatest Germicide, is in dispensable iu a home where are children-it may be taken inter nally or applied direct to the affected parts. Here is *the opinion of Mr. H. J. Lamar, Viueville, Macon, Ga: We used your Liquid Sulphur on our one year old baby, who suffer ed intensely from prickly heat over her entire body. A half dozen applications in two deyR entirely relieved'her and she slept soundly. You should recommend Liquid Sulphur strongly to mothers.
