Mr. Merchant, have you read "The Advertiser's Proposition" in this issue? The merchants of the town have very generously conated piizes for the Chrysanthemum Fair. Now, The Advertiser gives them an apportuuity to win a prize. Read "Tho Advertiser's Proposi tion" in this iscue. Mr.vW. H. Turner is making a great success with his millinery department, also with, his ladies coat suit department. Sis new advertisement this week should be of special interest to the ladies, ?lead it At their elegant home in south Edgefield, Hon. and Mrs. J. Wm. Thurmond entertained in honor of Judge George Johnstone last evening, all the members of the Edgefield bar being present. The familiar f*ce and form of Hon. J. W. DeVore bave been greatly missed by his friends, particularly in tbe court room. Mr. DeVore has been quite sick for several weeks but we are glad to state that he is now able to sit up. P was reported on the streets of Edgefield on Monday morning that the Trenton hotel, which is owned and Operated by Mr. Geo. W. Wife, wau burued. The rumor proved to be untrue. Tbe building caught fire but was extinguished before any considerable da.nage was done. Capt. Thomas Getzen. of Fort White, Fla., returned home after spending a while with his daugh ter, Mrs! B. M. Adams, and other relatives. Capt. Geizen was a member of the 19th. regiment, South Carolina Volunteers, and was its last commander.-North Augusta Gazette.

Friday, November the 8?b, bas been- selected as the day for hold ing the Chrysanthemum Fair. Tbe occasion was a greater suc cess last year than even the rorm b?rs of' the. association expected it to b*, bnt from the present out look the Fair of11907 will by great odds eclipse that of last year. The floral parade, will be the crowning feature this year. Already a score of contestauts have eutered, one or two ladies from Trenton beiug among them. The Advertiser's Proposition. Realizing that through the Chrysanthemum Fair the Edge field ladies were enabled a year ago to raise a. goodly sum .of money for the improvement of tbe village cemetery, and reali zing further that on the success of the Fair.this year depends the amouut that will be again raised, The Advertiser purposes aiding these good ladies in every possi ble way to make a success of the occasion. Now, they believe that much will be added to the Fair by having all the stores decorated. And that this will cause the Fair to be more largely attended and better patronized, no one will question. Therefore, iu order to induce the merchants to decorate their store fronts, The Advertiser will, provided as mapy as ten merchants enter the contest, give, free of cost, a quarter page adver tisement, oue insertion, to the merchant that bas the most at tractive ht?re froi.t on the day of the Fair. This priz-i is placed at the disposal of tho lad.es, and will be awarded by a committee of judges to be selected by them. Now ia the time to purchase Heavy Underwear. JOur stock is complete.

Recently Mr. Jobn M. May purchased the home of Mr. Wal ter Adams in south Edgefield, and bas given it to his daughter, Ethel, as a bridal p.?sent. This was an act of thoughtful generosi ty that is seldom equalled. Mr. and Mrs. Kemp, who ar? at pres ent with Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Harling, will pccupy their home about November the 1st. The FIoral Parade. The coming Chrysa?themu m Fair, with the floral parade as a distinctive feature, is now the talk of the towu, particularly among those who purpose entering the contest. The parade will consist of -decorated buggies, carriages, wagons, ox carts, goat wagons, donkey teams, etc. Already about] fifteen entries have been booked and there will be a number of | others. More Than Half a Crop. A few dava ago the writPr asked Mr. L. R. Bruosou about the out look of the crops above Cleora that had to be replanted after the terrific hail storm of last summer, and be paid thtit if a killing frost will bold off a little longer half a ;rop or possibly/ more will bp made. The crcps in that section being late were not injured by the drought in August and September. Change of.Schedule. A slight change in the raiiway schedules went into efftct on Sun day last. Instead of arriving at 12:40, what is known as the mid day train is due now at 1:20 p. m" and hereafter the afternoon train will leave Edgefield at 3:30 in stead of 4:20 p. m. The arrivals and departures of the other trains remain unchanged. Dr. Smith Loses Heavily. The many friends in Edgefield and vicinitv will regret to learn tbKt Dr. Ernest C. Smith, of Wil li Bron ? recently lost his eaw mill, grist mill, gin house, four balen of cotton aud about 400 bushels of cotton seed by fire. The prop erty was unmsured, making the total loss about. $3,000. Though the loss is heavy, Dr. Smith is not a man to be dowu cast Ky such reverses of fortune. He will with greater determination than ever press forward and replace that which has been reduced to ashes by the merciless flames. Court Proceedings.

YoCrs truly, Woman's Work at the Fair. Mr. Elroy C, Denton, chairman of the woman's work departmenr of the Georgia-Carolina Fair, states that inquiries as to entry fees, prize list, judges, etc., are pouring in from many sources aud that present prospects au gured well for the success of this pbase of exhibit work at the greatest annual event in Augus ta's calendar. Active interest'on the part of the ladies of Augusta and surround ing territory is the one essential factor of success in an undertak ing of this character, and many V70men are expected and have al ready signified their indention of doing all in their power to make tbe women's exhibits a distinc' Fuccers. One of the attn ctivn features of this year's, exhibit work will be the fact that all the exhibits may be sold, without cost, after the judg'-s have examined the dis plays.
