Mr. Bettis Cantelou has rented the well equipped stalls on the coun ty fair' grounds and will conduct his stock business there during the approaching season.. The arena will afford an ideal place for exhibiting j or showing horses and mules to prospective purchasers. Mr. M. B. Starkey was in Edge-1 field on b sinessMoaday,and we wvr pleased to learn from him, as well j as from other Plum Branch citizens I that the new ferry across the Sa vannah river is swelling the volume cf business, of that growing town. Dre. Tompkins and Marsh have moved into the Sheppard building, and Messrs. Thurmond & Nichol son have moved into the office which they recently purchased from Drs. Tompkins & Marsh. Wm. P Calhoun, Esq., now . occupies th office which Mr. Thurmond former ly occupied. The writer took a hurried look at the poultry exhibited at the state Fair Saturday last, and while there were a greater number of Rhode Is land Reds than any other one breed, yet we saw none that excelled the Rhode Island Reds that Mr. J. H. P. Roper won the four blue ribboDS on at our County Fair. In his speech at the County Fair Congressman Lever said: "It is a sad picture to see a farmer come to town in the spring to buy hay to feed amule t? kill grass in order to make cotton with which to buy more hay." If you do not want a place in such a picture sow a large acre-: age in wheat and oats: The friends of Mr. Orlando Shep pard, who has been quite indispos-: ed for three weeks, will be glad to kno.w that he is now steadily im proving. Acting upon the advice of his physician, Mr. Sheppard, ac companied by Mrs. Sheppard, will leave for Hot Springs, N. C., this week. A Tienten lady stepped the wri ter on the streets of her own little city Saturday morning and in speaking of the great success of the County Fair remarked that she was f/ery "proud of Edgetleld." We thanked her for the kindly and cor dial feeling for our town and for the beautiful spirit of co-operation manifested toward the Fair. Mrs. A. S. Tompkins went down to Augusta Monday and at the re quest of Mr. Robert Berckmans car ried a number of her fine chrysan themums to exhibit at the Georgia Carolina Fair. Mr. Berckmans has said on more than one occasion that he has never seen finer chrysanthe mums grown anywhere than those exhibited at Edgefield's Fairs. It was a great disappointment to Mrs. Abner Broadwater that her v.iry fine chrysanthemums were ex cluded from the Johnston Flower Show, having arrived about ten min utes after the hour /for closing en tries. However, Mr. Balk, the ex perienced florist from Augusta who acted as judge, pronounced them to be among the finest chrysanthemums that he had ever seen anywhere. In renewing his subscription a few days ago, and remarked that he would rather pay $2.50 than do without The Advertiser. Yet there are a few persons who think a coun ty paper should be published for ?1 per year, only a few however. To publish a paper such as The Adver tiser is, requires a considerable sum of money each month. Death of Little Louise Miner The friends of Mr. and Mrs. T. ?. Miner sympathize deeply with them in the death of their youngest child, Louise, a sweet little girl of five years, which occurred at their home at Plum Branch Friday after noon last. This is the first death that has ever occurred in this happy home. The bereaved parents should find comfort in the fact that little Louise now rests safely in the arms of Jesus. Very Elaborate Stag Dinner. Mrs. John R. Tompkins is an artist, a musician, is skilled with the needle, an excellent housekeep er, and her esthetic taste and very unselfish nature make her a queen among entertainers. Wednesday evening last Mr. and Mrs. Tomp kins gave a stag dinner in honor of 'heir brother-in-law, Hon. H. F. Powell, and, with one accord, the twenty-odd guests declared it to be the most delightful function of the kind ever held in Edgefield. Al though no member of the fair sex appeared upon the scene it could be easily discerned that a woman of exquisite taste and possessing un usual gifts as an entertainer planned and directed everything pertaining to the dinner. The menu which was more elaborate than that of the lun cheon given in Columbia in honor of the Presideut was as follows: Oyster Cocktail Salted Wafers Stewed Oysters Oysterettes Turkey Cranberry Sauce Celery Potato, Chips Green Peas on Rosette Wafers Pickles Biscuits Crackers Coffee and Whipped Cream Waldorf Salad on Lettuce Crackers Ambrosia Three kinds of Cake Coffee Ch 26 .e Sandwiches .Cigars Among the guests were thc fol lowing gentlemen: Henry T.

Quarterly Conference at Parks v ville. Tbe fourth quarterly conference was held at Parksville Saturday, December 6th. New trustees were elected for the parsonage at Parks ville, and the conference empower ed them to receive bids on the par sonage to be put before the 5th quarterly meeting to be held at Plum Branch December 2nd. We will then have a sermon by Rev. J. C. Roper in the morning, dinner on the ground and conference in the afternoon. We hope to have a large attendance and hope every member will bc present. It is desired of the Plum Branch church to move or sell the parson age at Parksville and re-invest same at Plum Branch. All who wish to make bids on the parsonage can submit same to either of the follow ing trustees, J. J. Langley, T. J. Scott or T. M. Garrett. We will want all bids to be in by December 2nd. J. J. Langlej\ Plum Branch, S. C. Resolutions by Friendship Ma sonic Lodge. Whereas it has pleased Almighty God, the Great Architect of the Uni verse to remove by death from time to eternity Dr. Robert C. Mason, therefore, be it resolved: 1st. That by the death of Bro. Mason, Friendship Lodge loses one of its oldest, as well as one of its most worthy and faithful members, the country a patriotic and upright citizen, the medical profession an energetic and successful physician and his family a kind and indulgent father and husband. 2nd. That we extend to the be reaved family our hearty sympathy in this great sorrow, and commend them to our Heavenly father who in all his dealings with his children never makes a mistake. 3rd. That a blank page in our minute book be inscribed to his memory, and that the Lodge be draped, and that the brethren wear the usual badge for thirty days. 4th. That a copy of these resolu tions be sent to the family, and that they be published in two county pa pers. P. B. KEMP, ) J. F. OUZTS, jr. V Com. J. M.

Hundreds ol' indhiduals allover the county are eagerly awaiting the announcement of the result of The Advertiser's corn contesi. The an nouncement has been delayed, on account of the late planting of some of the "pet acres." At the earliest possible moment, after all of the corn has been gathered and tile cen tral committee has made its report the result will be made public. The Advertiser already has the gold on hand, ready to be awarded. In whose pockets will it jingle? Have Learned at Last. Farmers are responding all along the line to The Advertiser's appeals in the matter of sowing wheat and oats. Mr. C. M. Williams, one of the leading wheat growers of the co' nty, some time ago reserved about seventy-five bushels of wheat to sell for seed instead of having it ground into flour. As The Adver tiser man is in the market for some seed wheat, we asked Mr. Williams' son a few days ago whether his father could supply our need, and his reply was: ' We have sold all of the seed wheat we had and could have sold 500. bushels more." To speak plainly: the farmers of Edge field county (the writer included) are "learning some sense." They are tired of putting their hard earned dollars into the pockets of the growers of western eora and wheat. They have learned that they can grow these necessities at home cheaper than they ~ can* buy them, even with fifteen cents cotton. Shirts made to order by F. G. MERTINS. Augusta, Ga. Enlarging Their Stock. Messrs. Stewart & Kernaghan are wide-awake, aggressive mer chants and are making a success of the hardware business. They pur chase in lar??e quantities and give their patrons the advantage of their close buying. This firm has leased the second story of the Parker building and will convert it into a large storage room. A stairway will be erected on the inside of their store leading to the second floor and a freight elevator will be b uilt on the rear end of the building. Lecture Bore Fruit immediately The Womau's Christian Tem per ice Union,* whioh organization is misunderstood and misjudged by some persons, never loses an oppor tunity to scatter sunshine and flow ers in the pathway of the needy and deserving. Its members pre sented Dr. Sears, the inimitable ly ceum lecturer, with a large bouquet of very fine ch ry g nt hemums at the train when he departed Tuesday morning. This was a beautiful ex pression of commendation and a bidding of G??d-speed from these thoughtful Christian ladies. J. D. Hankinson the smiling South Carolinian, is with F. G.

The Corner Store. Red and Blue Ribbon Contest We learned Monday, through that very excellent citizen, Mr. John W. Adams, that the members of the Colliers Woman's Christian Tem perance Union have inaugurated a very spirited Red and Blue mem bership contest. The plan is this: The membership is divided, one side adopting red as their color and the other wearing a small piece of blue ribbon. The two sides vie with each other in their efforts to secure the greatest number of new mem bers. The side that loses-secures the smallest number of members entertains the members of the win ning side. Such contests not only ad vertise the organization and increase the membership of the local union but'afford'a great deal of pleasure and diversion for the members. "They say the Joneses are a very happy couple." "But Jones is a traveling man and is very seldom at home." "Exactly. "-Cleveland Leader. Sho lld Break Land in the Fall. The larger part of the land should be broken in the fall for the follow ing reasons: V. We are not as busy in the late fall and winter as we are in the spring: 2. The grass, tr?sli, etc;, is turned under to decay. 3. Insoluble plant food is brought to the surface where the frost and air can change it to soluble plant food. 4. Housed insects are exposed and frozen. . 5. The soil is rough and loose so that it will drink in the rain that falls. G. To permit the air to circulate in the subsoil. 7. To let the water escape from the surface without rur.ning over the ground and wishing ' off. "Do you take *'\ . oman for bet ter or worse?" "I do, jedgt; do.

HINTS ~FO^ 'FARMERS] The Farm Wood Lot. The first snow of winter should ba made use of in getting up the supply of fuel for another year, says Ameri - can Cultivator. It ls much better to do this before the snow becomes so deep as to make the work harder. The careful farmer has looked over his wood- lot and calculated as to what portion should be taken out for wood or timber. As these products are be coming scarcer every year, it ?should be the aim of every farmer to tc the best care of the wood lot and select out the trees for wood and timber that lt may be kept in a thrifty, growing condition right along. The past season, owing to the long period of dry weather, much timber j was killed by the forest fires that pre vailed in so many places, causing dis aster and loss. Of course on such tracts the burned and ruined trees will have to be removed and used to i the best advantage possible. The value of the wood lot should" eyer be in mind | and its future usefulness insured. Poultry In Winter. Keep the scratching sheds or the floors of the poultry houses well bed ded, as the fowls need exercise to warm np their bodies these cold, frosty mornings. Give an extra allowance of grain at night, scattering lt among the litter so that the fowls can be induced to ex ercise before they get their regular breakfast. There is no better winter breakfast for the stock than equal parts, by weight, of bran, middlings, ground oats, cornmeal and meat scraps, to which add its bulk in cooked cut clo ver hay and 5 per cent of linseed meal. Mix the ground grain with the tea. made by cooking the clover. At noon g' - some cut up vegetables, and twice a week give some cut green bone. The grain food at night should be ab equal part each of wheat and cora. Cracked corn is preferred.-Farm JotnS nal. Cottonseed Meal For Cows. Cottonseed meal is one of the more Important nitrogenous concentrates used in feeding live stock. There is a prevalent belief, however, that if fed for long periods to dairy cows it will injure the health of the animals to a certain extent. The South Carolina experiment station undertook a ifeed ing test with dairy cows to show the fallacy of this theory and that when free of the hulls there were no injuri ous effects. Corn silage and cotton: seed meal were fed to ten cows, and the results obtained were entirely sat isfactory. They .showed that cotton ann A mool TTT>I?.TI fn? in / n ?iin/ttfnn seed meal when fed in c nj unction, with good silage may be fed to the ex- . tent of from five to six pounds per cow dally without affecting the health of the animal. Instead, thc cows kept iu an exceptionally good state of health. The yield of butter fat was increuscd. ES was also the milk flow.-Drovers' ?jg Journal. -~ New Cow Feeding Tests. An experiment in feeding cows which it is believed will be watched with keen interest by the dairymen of the state has just been started with the college herd at the Connecticut Agricultural college. The test will run for an Indefinite..period and,will con-_ slst of feeding two separate rations to 1| two different groups of cows. One group will be fed a- very narrow and the other a very wide ration, ?nd'the outcome of this experiment will deter mine whfther high or low feeding has any effect on the vigor, fertility or pro duction of the dairy cow. It is hoped to have these experiments carried on for at least twenty years.-American Cultivator. Grote and His Wife. The wife of the historian Grote must have been an extraordinary wo man. She rode without a saddle, she was not afraid to put off in a boat without a man. and she was plucky enough to marry her lover without permission and return home without saying a word about it. Sydney Smith described this lady and her lord in his happy fashion, "I do like them both so much, for he is ladylike, and shelf a perfect gentleman."
