"The Advertiser is going to charge
Paul Cogburn big nioney for furnish
ingihis sweethearts with his pictures.
Numbers of Edgefield girls clipped
the cut of the football team from
last week's Advertiser because" it con
tained Paul's picture.
Mr. J. Ransom Timmerman, the
county auditor-elect moved his fam
ily to Edgefield Tuesday .to reside
permanently in our midst. Mr. and
Mrs. Timmerman made many friends
when they lived among us two years
ago and they are being warmly wel
comed since their return.
Since our last issue was published
the writer has received & letter
from Miss Mary T. Nance, president
of the ' State School Improvement
Association stating that she will be
unable to visit Edgefield county un
til after Christmas.
The Advertiser issues a special
Christmas number this week con- \
taining sixteen seven-column pages,
which is the largest paper, ever issu
ed in Edgefield. The paper is two
days late on account of the indispo
sition of a faithful and efficient
member of our force. ?
Mr. C. E. May, the very alert
and active mayor of our town, is be
ing very generally commended for
waging an aggressive war against
the blind tigers. A few more .$75
fines or thirty-day sentences on the
county chaingang will stop them..
. Mr. J. W. Reese, who possesses
very decided mechanical talent, re
cently invented an attachment for
an ordinary monkey-wrench which
when applied converts it into
a pipe wrench. The attachment is
very simple, yet it does the work of
a pipe-wrench prfectly. Mr. Reese
has made application for a patent for
his device, which should sell very
readily when placed on the market.
As Dr. D. A. J. Bell says in his
letter from Parksville this week, The
Advertiser has not yet gone to the
4 poor house" because it refuses to
advertise intoxicating liquor. On
the contrary, this newspaper is en
joying a fuller measure of prosperity
now than at any former time since
the present editor assumed its man
agement nearly seven years ago.
The advertising patronage is larger
and our subscription list is steadily
growing.
Mr. Geo. F. Mims is Edgefield's
most enterprising citizen. He has
already placed, 1909 calendars on the
market that are beautifully adorned
with photographs of local views.
These dainty little calendars are
real works of art, and sell for OnljT
fifteen cents. Mr. Minis also has
a large assortmet of? post cards con
taining local views. His cards
containing the monument recently
erected by the IT. D. C's are partic
ularly good. Every Daughter and
every veteran should ^have one of
these cards displayed on their man
tel. >

Does the
BabyThrive
If not, something must be
wrong with its food. If the
mother's milk doesn't nourish
it;ihe needs Scott's Emulsion.
It supplies the elements of fat
required for the baby. If baby
is not nourished by its artificial
food, then it requires
SCOTT'S
EMULSION
Half a teaspoonful three or
four times a day in its bottle
will have the desired effect. It
? seems to have a magical effect
upon babies and children. A
fifty-cent bottle will prove the
truth of our statements.
Send this advertisement, together with name
of paper in which it appears, your address and
four cents to cover postase, and we will send
yon a "Complete Handy Atlas of the World.'

Death of Mr. Talbert
After being sick for some months
with Bright's Disease Mr. W. L.
Talbert passed away at his home
near Rehoboth early Monday mbrn
ing. His remains were interred in
the Rehoboth cemetery Tuesday
afternoon. The death of Mr. Tal
bert makes another break in the
ranks of the gallant Confederate
veterans. The deceased was a mem
ber of Rehoboth church.
He is a survived by two daughters
Mrs. Dora Lomax and Mrs. Kate
Moultrie, and three sons, Messrs. J.
L., W. A.; and J. D. Talbert.
Series of Losses.
Lightning may never strike twice
in the same place, but one misfor
tune is usually followed by another
misfortune. A very striking instance
of repeated misfortune is found in
the experience of Mr. F. A. Walker
who resides in the "Old Wells" sec
tion of the county. Early in the
fall Mr. Walker had two bales of
cotton destroyed by fire when the gin
nery of Mr. E. M. Padgett burned.
The balance of his crop was carried
to Mr. S T Huhgesxgin, three miles
below Trenton, this being the near
est gin to him after Mr. Padgett's
was burned. About a fortnight ago
Mr. Hughes' ginnery was burned
and in this fire Mr. Walker lost an
other bale of cotton. This was in
deed a very unusual chain or series
of misfortunes.
The Baraca Entertainment

Our Christmas Jug.
Setting near our desk is our Christ
mas jug, which was sent us bj' a |
I very thoughtful friend, Mr. Howard
Walker, but instead of containing
'tangle foot" or "pop-skull", as j
some Christmas jugs will contain,
The Advertiser's j?g contains a gal
lon of good apple vinegar, the best
that ever graced a table. Mr. Walk
er has a very large apple orchard and
presses enough apples every year to
make from 150 to 200 gallons of vin
egar, which he sells very readily.
People who know and appreciate the
superior quality of home-made vine
gar, the kind that our grandmothers
used to make, send for miles to pur
chase some of Mr. Walker's vinegar.
Medicine That is Medicine.
"f have suffered a good deal with
malaria and stomach complaints,
but I have now found a remedy

dy is Electric Bitters; a medicine
that is medicine for stomach and
liver troubles, and for run down con
ditions" says W C Kiestler, of Hal
iday* Ark., Electric Bitters purify
nd enrich the blood, tone up the
erves and impart vigor and oner gy
o the weak. Your money will be re
unded if it fails to help you. 50c at
