Doctors
say take Cod Litter Oil-they
undoubtedly mean Scott's
Emulsion,
It would be just as sensible
for them to prescribe Quinine
in its crude form as to pre
scribe Cod Liver Oil in its
natural state. In
Scott's
Emulsion
the oil is emulsified and made
easy to take-easy to digest
and easy to be absorbed in to
the body-and is the most
natural and useful fatty food to
feed and nourish the wasted
body that is known in medicine
today.
Nothing can be found to take
its place. If you are run-down
you should take it.

The Best Salv? In Hie World.
Established in 1873.
Trenton has the distinction of
having one of the oldest mercantile
establishments in this part' of the
state. Mr. S. T. Hughes has been
engaged in the mercantile business
at Trenton continuously since 1878,
occupying throughout th? entire 3d
years" the building on the corner
which he now occupies. Through
honest dealing ahd courteous treat
ment of his- patrons; Mr. Hughes
long ago won the confidence of the
public and has gained a valuable
prestige in the business world that
only a few men enjoy. May his suc
cessful career continue yet for many
years!
Card From Mr Morgan.
To the Farmers who market their
cotton at Ed^efield :
As there is very little cotton being
marketed here now, and that which
is sold is weighed at the warehouses
for the buyersjl can not afford to re
main at Edgefield on expense, and
have decided to return to my home.
Knowing that the farmers under
stand my position, I do not believe
thev will censure me for this action.
. T. P. Morgan.
Beautiful Gift Books.
In buying the Christmas stock
for the Lynch drug store, Mr.
Charlton Lynch paid especial at
tention to the book department. Be
sides beautifully bound poems and
other gift books, on? can find some
of the latest books of high class fic
tion at this popular store. The peo
ple of our town need to .be educated
along the line . of purchasing ?rood
books, and nothing else will aid so
effectively in bringing about the de
sired end as the carrying of a well
selected assortment of good books
by Edgefield merchants.
Received Much Encouragement
The echoes that reached our ears
from different parts of the county
by letters and in person commend
ing the enterprise displayed in is
suing the sixteen-page Christmas
number of The Advertiser last week
are very encouraging to the editor.
If the people appreciate the in
creased expenditures and efforts that
we have put forth to give them a
high class paper from week to week
and will continue to respond in a
business way, the management is
willing to make additional outlay
for still further improvement.
