The Woman's Christian Tem perance Union will, hold their monthly meeting at tbe home of Mrs. J. L. Mims on Monday af ternoon next at 5 o'clock. All members ere urged to be present. An exchange says: Arv editor of a western paper wrote a squib calling attention to tbe old win dows. Tho pr inters made bim say, "The old widows about town need a thorough washing." Mrs. J. Frank Fair left for Beech Island on Monday to spend several days with Mr. and Mrs. Warren Fair, and from there ehe will go to her home in Atlanta. She greatly endeared herself to all with whom she met and there was much genuine regret in Edgefield when the day for her departure arrived. There seems to be. something in or round about Edgefield that is more conducive . to longevity among women than men. A lady has informed us that an aotual census or. count reveals the fact that there are thirty-seven widows and only tao widowers in Edge field. A special sale of under muslin is now on at the Cor ner Store. Attention ia direc ted to their new advertise ment in this issue. A Farmers' Union was or ganized by Mr. W. L.Ken nedy at Harmony on Monday with 17 members. We have been unable to get a list of the officers. Mr. Geo. W.

Burgess has accepted an invitation to fill the pulpit of one of the lead ing Presbyterian churches in Charleston for two Sundays while the pastor is on a vaca tion. . Mr. and Mrs, Burgess accompanied by their chil dren, will leave the latter part of the week for Sullivan's Is land, where they will pass the time enjoying the sea breezes. The Advertiser wishes them much happiness while away, and a safe return to Edgefield. Always Kakes Good Yield. In spite of the fact that for some years the yield from the oat crop has been a doubtful and un certain quantity with tbe majori ty of farmers, Dr. W. D. Ouzts has year after year realized a very satisfactory yield. This is largely due to bia method of planting. In stead of sowing broadcast, as is almost the universal practice, Dr. Ouzts puts his oats in early with a one-horse drill. He runs the drill on each side of the cotton row and then in. the middle, mak ing three rows of ? oats for each row of cotton. Dr. Ouzts recently had a portion of bis crop of oats thrashed out and realized 238 bushels from 232 dozen bundles. Just as the Williamson method, properly followed, will increase the yield of corn, so will Dr. Ouzts' method of growing oats increase the yield of oats. Edgefield'B Weather Prophet. Wbehever you are in doubt about the coming of rain, ask Mr. R L.. Dunovant for his opinion. It will hit the mark. He bas so many tigue that some of them are bound to be as true as a barome ter. The writer stopped in at Mr. Dunovant's store Friday morning while it was very hot, dry and dusty-not a heavy cloud to be seen anywhere. Mr. Dunovant re marked that we needed rain aud that it would come before Sunday night. Io the first plac-i, he paid there was no dew Thursday morn ing ind that rain can be confi dently looked for within three days after a "dry" morning. He said aleo that the smokey was go ing straight up from the stack at the mill. Furthermore, said he, it had been lightning in the north, the night before and the sun went.down behind a bank of clouds 'he afternoon before. In view of this multiplicity of signs, Mr. Dunover* said: "Look for rain before Sunday night." Sure enough, abont noon on Friday a glorious rain fall. Don't worry about the rain any more. When on are anxious and m doubt, go to Mr. Dunovant and ask him what his signB say about the weafbpr. Pure-Food Law Vinegar. Just received fresh lot pure 4 pp le and YVbite Wine Ymegar.

Owing to tho fact that Mr. Tompkins holds a lucrative position with the Ba timora and Ohio railway system* they may reside many years in the north but to the last moment of their earthly sojourn Mr. and Mrs. Tompkins will be loyal southern ers who IOYB every inch of Edge field soil. Mallalieu's Goat Happy Alto. The Bailey children have ar rived and are now at the college. Everybody is glad to see them back among us again, but Malla lieu's big white Billy goat is tho happiest animal (biped or quad ruped) in Edgefield. Although the old fellow assumed an independ ent and "sassy" air all summer, he has had rather a hand-to mouth existence during his mas ter's absence. Instead of continu ing to ft ed upon brick-bats and barbed-wire, Billy will now share his master's, menu-ice cream, slicpd tomatoes, etc Another Large Contract. The Advertiser announced sev eral weeks ago that the . quarry would close down indefinitely, owing to having filled all out standing contracts. Since that time, Mr. Boss has been awarded a contract that will require five or six months to fill, consequently work at the quarry has opened up again. The force at present num bers 150 and it will probably be increased. During 'the time that the newly awarded contract is being filled thousands of dollars will be turned loose iu Edgefield and Trenton that will contribute largely toward lubricating the wheels of trade and commerce. Death of jd. H. Anderson. The many newly made graves in our village cemetery bear evi dence to the fact that Death hae made frequent visitations to this community in recent months. Some were taken in infancy and others after they had run their race and their lives were crowned with full fruition. But the last was a young man who had just reached the meridian of life. Mr. Hugh Anderson breathed his last on Thursday night, hav ing been in failing health for some months. For several weeks preceding the end, Hugh was confined to bis bed but seemed to bear it all patiently and sub missively. Being kind hearted, affable in manner and very gen erous by nature, Hugh had many warm friends who would have made any sacrifice if thereby thoy could have prolonged his life. Devoted loved ones ministered to him by day and by night, but no human agenoy could stay the hand of Death. The interment was held on Fri day afternoon, the funeral exercis es being conducted by Rev. T- P. Burgess and Rev. Royal Shannon bouse. Hugh was a member of the Woodmen of the World and of the Odd Fellows and hie brethren ol these orders pronounced the last sad rites at the grave.

Lvneh ? Co. ICaatelou Corn the Standard. The Cautelou. brothers have been euch successful growers of |coru year after year, even wheo others failed, that, in speaking of fine corn, people have become ac customed to saying that "Mr. So and-so's corn is regular Cautelou corn." A gentleman who bas traveled in several different parts, of the county recently, remarked to ns that he saw "Cantelou" corn everywhere he went this year. I Voil Criba and Barna : Mr. Robt. H. Nicholson has great droves and herds of stock and he ?B always fortunate enough to make plenty of feed at horne. 1 His grain crop yielded an abun dant harvest this year. He bad over 400 bushels of oats thrashed last week, and he will make some thing like a thousand bushell of j corn. Mr. Nicholson's cotton ie j also very promising. Can't Tell on Him. A very generous and kind hearted gentleman who resides] eight or nine miles from Edgefield pulled an "ox" ont of the ditch last Sunday morning by going in his garden and picking more than a bushel of fine tomatoes in-order j to keep the chickens from devour ing them. As he has promised to send us some of the tomatoes, we must withhold the name of. this gentleman who labored with bis bands on the Sabbath , day. [ Returned Greatly??mproved. Mr. J. P. Ouzts, manager of the Edgefield Mercantile Company, returned on Monday after an ab sence of two months in Baltimore, where he has been under treat ment by specialists at the Johns Hopkins hospital. Mr. Ouzts says he feels like a new man. He bar gained about twenty pounds in weight and appears to be fully restored to his accustomed state of health. Mr. Ouzts' friends are greatly rejoiced over bis very marked improvement and are" greeting bim most cordially. Large Stale ol Cotton. Among the jurors who were in attendance upon court last week; was Mr. J. P. Sullivan who re sides in the northwestern portiou ?of the county near the Greenwood line. He owns a large and verv valuable plantation that yinJriR an abundant harvest every*55aj Mr. Sullivan recently sold 30 bales ol: cotton for something over $1,700. He learned to grow water- ? melons also while he lived in the Horn's Creek section and has never lost the art, Having pulled a number of sixty-pound melons from his patch this year. Old Landmark Being Removed. The work of tearing down old Red Oak Grove church, which was built somewhere about the year 1812, is going rapidly for ward this week, and as soon as everything is cleared away the. foundation for the new building will be laid. The spirit that pre vails in the community concern ing the ereotion of this church is | beautiful and very commendable. Mr. G. D. Mims drew the plans and will superintend the con struction of the church, and de clines to accept ft. cent by way of j compensation for bis services.] The members of the church,' be- j sides making very liberal cash subscriptions, will render valua ble service with their teams and with their own hands without I receiving a dollar for it. But bet ter than all this, perfect unity and harmony has characterized I every step in the planning for the new church. This is a Godly flock with a Godly shepherd. Rev. Geo. W.

DRUGGISTS i i Ninety-third Birthday. Recently Mr. John Sullivan celebrated his ninety-third birth day; He is doubtless the oldest person iu the county and, con sidering his extreme age, ie bate, hearty and activo, enjoying three square meals a day. Mr. 8ullivan lives near Horn's Creek church, where he has resided for forty years. Several of hie children and grand-cbildnn were with him on his ninety-third birthday, which made the # occasion exceedingly pleasant for thia aged gentleman. A Delightful House Party. Miss Cecil Johnson, the beauti ful daughter of Mr. aDd Mrs. F. P. Johnson, is entertaining a large house party this week at her home near Mountain Creek chursb. Her gueets are Misses Pearl Mc Manus and Susie Corbin, of Thompson, Ga., and two young ladies *from Graniteville. When these lovely young ladies depart to their respective homes the lamentations among the young men of the Mountain Creek sec tion will be very great. -- Protracted Meeting: at Stevens ff Creek.; The writer enjoyed the delight ful privilege of attending services at old Stevens Creek church ou Sunday last. The meeting is being conducted by the pastor, Rev. Mir. Cox, assisted by a minister from A.ugusta. The attendance,, as is usual on this annual occasion, was very large, and a, delightful dinner was served. Genuine, old time hospitality, for which the good people'around Sfrevsus Creek are hoted, seemed to permeate the atmosphere. Few pleasures are more heartily enjoyed by us than that of mingling with kindred and friends of our boyhood divs who gather at this historic old church on the secoud Sun-Jay in August of each year. Long Staple Cotton There is probably more long staple cotton, chie fly of the Flora dora variety, planted io the Meet ing Street section than in any other portion of the county. Sev eral of the leading Meeting Street farmers having obtained very profitable results from Floradora cotton during the last two y ara, oUrers were ' induced to plant it BHP^W^are in a position to form au intelligent opinion, some thing like two hundred bales of long staple cottou will be pro duced in the vicinity of Meeting Street this year. Mr. J. F. Payne is contemplating adding a long staple gin to his ginnery. When Floradora cotton is gin ued upon a specially constructed gin the sta ple is superior to that ginned upon the ordinary gin. and will command from 25 to 50 per cont more on the market. Miss Lula Tisdale. Prof. W. D. Burns, principal of the Piedmont High School, Lawn dale, N. C., bas the following to say of Miss' Tisdale who will ? teach vocal music, elocution and physical culture in the S. C. C. I during the approaching session: "This certifies that Miss Lula Tisdale taught Music and Elocu tion at this institution for two years, and that her work gave me' perfect satisfaction. She left us in order to secure a position nearer to her home. I know Miss Tisdale to be a Christian woman of cul ture and refinement whose influ ence over girls is wholesome and elevating. At Piedmont her work in the class-room,- her Christian character, her re Sued manners and her evenness of temper endeared her alike to her students and to her fellow teachers. Knowing Miss Tisdale as I do, I cheerfully com mend her as a woman of ability and character who has already made a success as a teacher."
