Smith OD Monday. Miss Genie Fair and Miss Em ma Betti's of Trenton were among the visitors to our town ou Sunday last. The dance in tho opera house on Monday evening was probably the largest ever given by the Edgefield Cotillion Club. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Dawson Hall of Aiken are on a visit to th? latter's parents, Mr. and Mrs. James A Timmerman. Miss Florence Bush, who num bers her friends in Edgefield by the hundreds, is visiting relatives at Ellenton, her former home. Mr. T. E. Lamb, one of Edge field's prosperous merchants bas recently moved to the place in our northern suburbs where Mr. J. A. Timmel mau formerly resided Capt. J. A. White, who has a lucrative position in Columbia, came home for the holidays. His many friends have greeted bim very cordially. Every place of business was crowded on Saturday last except County Treasurer Williams, office. People are not giviug bim much work to do these days. The talk of the town i? that the eleven o'clock train arrived on time on Monday. Wonder when thia will occur again? Hardly be foreuext Christmas. Mr. Edward Foreman, a very handsome young business man from Macon, Ga., is spending the holidays in Edgefield with his sister&,. Mesdames C. J. Ashley and M. E. Merriman. Capt. Erasmus S. Minis, of Augusta visited his daughter, Mrs. R. IV. Timmons on Sunday laBt. Just twelve months have elapsed Biace his last visit to Edgefieid. Mr. John R; Tompkins could not longer endure the seperation so he betook himself to Hender son, on Saturday last to spend a fortnight with Mrs. Tompkins who is on a prolonged visit to her pa rents. Old Santa Claus purchased lib erally of the holiday goods. Des pite the great volume of holiday merchandise that was brought to Edgefield only traces of it can now be eeen in the stores. Before the new year has far ad vanced'Brother Littlejohn will have all of the young men and young ladies and old bachelors and ord maids of the western half of the county securely bound by the ties of wedlock. So mild has been the weather this Christmas that we would not be surprised to hear that our hand some young friend Patillo Bla lock w?mt to Charleston to enjoy the surf-and, will, we well not say more. . Mr. S. S. Lamb, who was the efficient superintendant of the weave room of the Edgefield cot ton mill several years ago, paid a short visit to his brother in Edge field last week. Mr. Lamb is no? in the employment of a large mill in Birmingham. Wonder why the people did not buy as much "booze" OD Christmas eve this year as they did last? The eales last year amouuted fo $1037, whereas on Saturday last only the sum of $736 fouud its way into the coffers of the dispensary. Many homes were doubtless happier and many stockings fuller by this de crease in the volume of South Carolina's business. While on the train the other day the writer chanced to meet haud Bome young Mr. G. W. Whitlock, the Ben of Mr. J. C. Whitlock who resides in the extieme southern part of the county. It will be re membered by his manv friends in Edgefield that Mr. Whitlock was for several consecutive terms a student of the S. C. C. I. He is now book-keeper for a large mer cantile. c?ncern in southern Geor gia. .There will be fewer chaDges in the county officials of Edgefield on Jauuary the lBt than probably "in a?y other county in the state. Treasurer C. M. Williams volun tarily retires from-public life and Dr. J. T. Pattison will enter upon the duties of county treasurer. Mr. A. A. Edmunds will retire from thd board of county com m?BB?oner8 and Capt John R Blocker will take his place. The preeent supervisors of registration will hold over for a year yet. No-Cure-No-P Miefs Virginia Addison went to Greenwood yesterday to attend a veiswell german. Mr. Wallace Sheppard made a prospecting tour of Florida recent ly and has decided to locate per mauently in Jacksonville. He and Mrs. Sheppard will leave early in January for the "Und of flowers" Mr. Jerome Follette, the plano maker of Augusta, is in Edgefield again doing fine work. If you want .a fine job see Mr. Follette at Mr. Joe Cantelou's or drop him a pos tal at once as his stay is limited to but a few days. .AB au expression of apprecia tion for the very faithful and effi cieut service rendered as organist, "the membeis of our Baptist church presented Mrs. Robert H. Mime with a handpome hand bag con? faining twenty five dollars asa Christmas present. Undaunted by the rain, sleet aud snow of win ter and the sweltering heat of midsummer, Mrs. Mims ?as for more than f^rty years beeu regu larly at her post an orgauist. Where is auother laborer iu the Lord's vineyard more faithful or another church more fortunate. . It was our good foi tune not many days ago to have a very in teresting conversation with Rev. J. E. Crim who is associated with Rev. B. D. Thames in the manr agementof ? large boarding school at Murphy, N. C. Thia mountain village is located one huudred and twenty miles west of Asheville These young men are doing a splendid work in the cause of Christian education in that hither to undeveloped mountain region. The typesetting of this issue of the Advertiser must be cut short in order to enable the force to enjoy at least a part of the holiday season, therefore we must refrain from doing what we would like, that is, to write at length of the beautiful Christmas tree that was given for the Sunday school ..of the Baptist church on Monday eveuiuglast. It waa indeed a bril liant success from every stand point, and the church and Sunday school owe the pastor and tho committee in charge a lasting debt of gratitude for the splendid manner in which it was managed. Just received a car load of "Old Hickory" and "Blue Grass" wagons and two cr loada of "Kock Hill" aud "Hackney" buggies. We want to sell you. RA MSEY & JONES M iss Lillian Smith is at home from her school at Limestone Miss Sue Collett has laid aside h?r school duties at Meeting Street for the holidays. Miss Hortense Padgett, who teaches the Antioch school, is speudiug the holidays in Edgefield with relatives. Miss Mary Holston is at home from the Colliers school. Miss Mae Walker who teaches the school at Effie is with the home-folks ' near Pleasant Lane for the Chrisimj?:| vacation. Mr. James Harling who teaches a flourishing school in Kershaw county is with his pa rents, Mr. and Mrs. Luther Har ling, near Cleora. Many hearts were made glad at the mill chapel on Saturday even ing last whan^the nice things were taken from the beautiful Christ mas tree and distributed among the Sunday school children. The exercises were opened with pray er by Rev. C. E. Burls, which was followed by appropriate recitations and songs by the pupils of the mill school which is taught by Miss Grace Tompkins. Then Santa Claus, in the person of Mr. C. W. Watson, aud Mrs. Santa Claus who was represented by Mr. Jehu Shiped, appeared upon the scene and distributed the gifts among the children. Everythiug had been provided in great abuu dauce by the committee in charge. After the children had beeu boun tifully helped to nico things enough fruits and confections were left to distribute among the visitors. The officers and teachers are to be commended for their un tiring efforts in so worthy a cause. Let tho Christmas tree at the mill chapel be given regularly every [year. The Tom pk i ns-War re ii Wedding (Contributed) A beautiful marriage at Centre Spring ou December the 22nd was that of M ins Sara Johnson Warren to Mr. Wallacn Elbert BlaDd Tompkins, who proudly bears the name of his distinguished grandfather, too lamented Col. Elbert Bland. When did Sara look moro beautiful and queenly than cn this occasion. She was attired in a gown of handsome blue Bilk trim med with old lace, wearing jewels of pearl and amethyst. The knight ly groom uever looked handsome or more radient thau wheu he bore upon his arm to the altar his beautiful bride. Thus they were made mau aud wifo by tbe Rev. Charles E. Burts, who beau tifully and impressively pro' nounced the ceremouy. The guests were the aristocratic relatives of the bride and groom ! A delightful luncheon was served Jin the spacious diuiDg room that was so beautifully- decorated by the skillful bauds of the hand some Miss Elizabeth Hill. The pre< euts were numerous and very handsome, attesting the uni versal popularity and'love for the bride and groom. The happy pair left immediately after the ceremo uy for the beautiful home of .the groom's parents, where they will reside. Many wishes to the happy couple for a long and blissful life ilr. W. H.
