GEFiELD ADVERTISED ?V? J^SSI??Y. NOV. ?4,1809,. rj% Office^ No. 61, R?sidence, No? 17. The skating rink in the county fair building is now* a popular ren dezvous for the. young people. : Tax payers are paying up slowly, the receipts ;> being scarcely large j enough to meet'the current expenses of the comity. Mrs. G. C. Mayson, of Cali i son, Greenwood county, has been visit ing her sister, Miss Fannie Sullivan, . at her home near Horn's Creek. ?r The ladies of the town and vi cinity are invited to go .to the store j of Messrs Stewart & Kernaghan to see the new Aluminum ware. . We do not understand how it is that some Edgetield boys are said to be light-headed, when their heads can ?hit a skating rink floor, with such great force. Watch next week's Advertiser for the tull announcement of the awards in the corn contest. All reports have been sent in to the central commit too. Married, by Rev. L. D. Gillespie^ at the Methodist parsonage, Sunday afternoon, Nevember ?lst, Mr. Jen | seph P. Herlong and .Miss. "Chloe Bush, both of Trenton. ~ "? ** Married, at the residence of Rev? L. B. White, Miss Annie Stone, of Rehoboth, to Mr. Jesse Stone, of | Modoc. We wish these young peo1 |; a lon*, life and much happiness. It is easy to understand why some of the girls are wearing long faces and some of the boys have' beaming countenances since Joe Holland left ) town. Joe's winnings are not con fined to baseball innings. Miss Kathrine Fitzmaurice and Miss Marie Bradys two popular young ladies from Columbia, are vis iting at the home of Dr. and Mrs. J. & Byrd. Mrs. VR. L. Foley, of Wayne, West Va., has been spending six weeks at her old home near Horn's Creek, having come down to be with her father, Mr. Jick Sullivan, in hi? last illness. . - Judging from the reports that? come in as to the large acreage of grain that is being sown, if farmers increase their cotton crop next year | they will have to clean up the brier ] ia tc hes. Besides a yoke of steers and a| ...mule, Mr. D. E. Lanham advertises a three year old colt in this issue., He is one of the few farmers who j^y^aise horses and mules to sell. Mr., Lanham has-, three three-year^ld.) colts on hand' now that he raised. gk We greatly appreciate the kind ff and urgent invitation to attend the ' ^Fair at Parksville Friday and Sat urday of this week, and regret ex ceedingly that we cannot be present. - The Advertiser hopes that the pro moters of the fair will be abundant ly rewarded for their efforts. Mr. J. Gordon Holland is now coaching Clemson's football team, and if the cadets respond to his in struction they will-make a brilliant record this season. Joe not only understands the theory and science of the game but he is a practical athlete. He knows how to do'j things himself. ?r. Orlando Sheppard has steadi ly but surely improved during th? five weeks that he has been confin ed to his home. Feeling that ? change will lead to more rapid im provement, he has decided to g*> down to I 'ine Heights Sanitarium in- j North Augusta to re main for sever- ? al days. ?? Mrs. J. S. B^rd^ and little John Fitzmaurice Byrd will go to Colum bia to-morrow to remain until the new year. Dr.. By rd will accompa ny them to the capital city but will return the next day to pass a dull, dreary month alone,ip his'Buncomhe home. Our sympathy goes out to. Mm. . Col. R. B. Watson stopped over in Edgefield Sunday with his niece, I MrsV J. P. Ouzts, while on his wav\ >to make his brother, Mr. M. A. Watson; a visit. Col. Watson had the misfortune to step on a n?i several months ago and, has nutfer?a greatly from, tf*e wwi hut has a; "nisst entirely r-eeovereil UQW. Capt, W. E. Gonzales1 explanation of that Taft luncheon in Columbia has changed the opinion of a good many folk down this way. They view it now in a different ligjttf altogeth-1 er, and see no hrea.ch. of good man ners in the way it was gotten up. Orftttgebttrg times and Dem ocr?t. Come out to the temperance ral?y on Sunday evening at the Baptist (Murch, when all the children and young people of all the Sunday Schools of our town will take part.

While Mr. D. T. Mathis will not ?be one of the prize winuers in the x;orn contest, he is delighted with the results obtained. Mr. Mathis told us on Monday that he will clear fifty bushels of corn from his pet acre. The twenty-odd bushels which lie made above the fifty will pay all expenses. Is not clearing over fifty bushels of corn from one acre good farming? Crosses of Honor Confederate Veterans and the old est descendant of deceased veterans wishing to secure crosses of honor will please send in their applications as soon as possible to the president of the Edgefield Chapter, U. D. C. Edgefield, S. C. Application blanks will be furnished by Mrs. C. A Grif fin at the Bank of Edgefield. Crosses will be delivered on Lee's birthday and to have them by that date, it is necessary to send in appli cations at once. The manner in which widows of veterans can secure crosses will be explained to those wishing to procure same. MRS. WM. P. CALHOUN, Pres. MRS. JAMES W. DEVORE, Sec. Holds Championship. ^So far as we know. Mr. P. W. Cheatham, of Cleora, holds the championship for being the most successful turkey raiser m the county this year. He was in town Saturday and stated that he has 42 very fine turkeys at hon?e. And with bacon-plain, common hog-selling at 15 cents per. pound, Mr. Cheat ham should have no trouble in realizing a good price for his "birds." For getting rich quick, next to the account of an African hunting expedition, for which Mr. Roosevelt is receiving $1 per word, or the ?account of a North pole dis covery, for which Mr. Peary re ceives 81.20 per word, the writer would choose a fl k of fine turkeys on the eye of Thanksgiving and the Yuletide. Union Thanksgiving Service. According to a custom establish ed several years ago, union Thanks giving service will be held in- the Methodist church to-morrow (Thurs day ) morning at nine o'clock. It is desired that a large number of our citizens attend this meeting. Surely wVihave much to be thankful for. SJitjrt talks^wiif-be-made, but tbe service will consist chiefly of prayer an-lj praise. An early hour has Heen selected so as to enable those to .attend who have planned to spend the day out of town. Who in ?dgefie^d will be so ungrateful as not to offer thanks on to-morrow to the Great Giver of all "good and perfect gifts" for the many blessings vouchsafed during the past year? Crop Very Short. Mr. T. P. Morgan, the public cob ton weigher, told us yesterday that up to this time he has weighed about 4,000 bales. Of course, this does not include all of the cotton that has been brought to Edgefield. The shipments to factors in Augusta have been quite heavy. A numb ^r of farmers obligated in the sr^g. to ship their cotton to the c<jmmj8_ sion men, having obtained advances from them. However t'je rece?ptg all told are very light, indicating a short crop. Frost Bitten Corn? In spite of the fact that this has been an exceptionally late fall, some corn here and there over the county has been caught by the frost. Faro! srs who lost their early corn th^agl the excessive rain of ,^&t s^rinv planted again very late fa dtt son and- it is soma of the- Jato j. ing that has damaged by fro ^ Concerning th.e dangei? of Win? froayd?tten, - corn, tb/* foUr,iyjn{, from the-Atianta Cans^^tio1:!shoul." be of interest to ^a?y farmers ii our county: ^HIf the oorn, be> permitted to b, come th.or?*gtily dry before gathei ing and p\ Ui?g in bulk 1 do not be lieve there would be any dancer ii feeding tc mules or horses, heit i l .illowed to sour and mold it wouh I oe more or less dangerous, 1 thin) would feed it to hogs, chickens am other animals less valuable tha?
