Morgan, Sr., the sage | of Faifa, says he has selected his best land for wheat and oats, and that cotton must "take a back seat."

Boling is teaching a class in vocal music at McKendree chureh and will close with a .musical concert Friday evening, October 29th. Mr. Boling taught a large class very successfully at Stevens creek some wesks ago. Any church or community is very fortu?atein securing his services. ?fcev. R. B. Seals, the Baptist min ister who spent the summerat John ston regaining his health, is now I teaching a large school at Stella ville, Ga., .and is also serving sever al country churches. It was the wri jter's pleasure to meet him in Augus ta a few days ago. The officers of the County Fair Association have secured a good, clean Carnival to give exhibition on the fair grounds this week and to, furnish music for the occasion.tThe writer has inquired as to the stand ing, character, etc., of the Carnival and it has been hi srhly recommended on every hand. There are no im moral or objectionable features. When you want any article of .merchandise buy it of a reputable home dealer, that the profit may re main to enrich the community. Send your money abroad only for what you cannot purehase at home. Home talent, home labor, home industry, home capital, and home pleasures are things to be fostered, encouraged* and patronized. " Messrs. L. J.1 Schaul & Co., of Augusta, extend an invitation to" thVpeople of Edgefield to visit their up-to-date jewelry store when in the city. They are centrally lo caled on Broad street, and carry a large stock of dependable jewelry, I silverware, watches, clocks, dia-, monds and silver novelties. Call to see Messrs. Schaul & Co. The big folks and the little folks, the old folks and the young folks, I the homely folks-and the handsome folks, the rich folki and the poor folks, and all. of the other folks not hitherto mentioned, are' going to ride, on the Merry-go-round daily and nightly throughout the week. You'll be lonesome i f you are .not there too. In the matter of building floats for Friday's parade, a spirit of keen est rivalry has sprung up between the young men who work in the cot ton mill and those who work in the oil mill. As a result of this deter mination of one side to "down" the other, watch for two splendid floats from thfe Beaver Dam Mills instead of one. ; Jimmie Tompkins is the leader of one set and Wad Allen leads the other. Interest in this is second jonly to the Cook-Peary con troversy. Wanted: To buy 6 cows fresh & pail. Each must give not less than 3 'gallons of milk daily. F. N. K. Bailey. Large supply of Patton's Sun proof paint. All colors for inside or outsid?'work. Get my price before buying. B. Timmons. Large assortment of heating stoves, coal and wood burners.

Timmons. Nature makes the cures after all. Now and then she gets into ?- tight place and needs ^helping out. Things get started in the wrong direction. Something is needed to check i disease and start the system in the right direction toward health. Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil with hypo phosphites can do just this. It strengthens the nerves, feeds famished tis sues, and makes rich blood.

Among the attractions at the Coun ty Fair this week will be Mr. Berry's four mule team. Mr. J. C. Berry, a very prosperous farmer of the Johnston-Trenton section, will bring ten bales of cotton on his heavy wagon, drawn by four large spick and span mules. The wagon and team will be dressed in gala attire. Do you not think that'this alone wiii be an inspiring sight? Advertiser Force Enlarged. The great increase in the volume of The Advertiser's business has made it necessary for us to employ an additional printer, and we consid er ourselves fortunate in being able to secure Mr. Roy Armfieid who made many warm friends in Edge field while he worked for the Edge field News last spring. Roy is not only a good printer, one who can set type accurately and rapidly, but he is a -splendid young fellow, and withal very handsome.
