His chief delight is to come up from Aiken for an annual visit to his brothers. Edgefield shoppers have never had a larger or more complete stock from which to make their holiday purchases. The merchants seem to have anticipated the wants of every j age, of every class, and of every purse. Mules ?are unusually high this year. While in Lexington, Ky., recently Mr. Bettis Cantelou saw a | stock dealer fill an order for 100 mules from Pennsylvania at $4 each. Of course these were excep-1 tionally fine, but ordinary mules are much higher than a year ago. Mr. Orlando Sheppard was great ly bencfitted by his s ay at White Springs, Fla.

Mr. S. A. Branson will lesign his position with Messrs. Ramsey & Jones the first of the new year and return to his farm near town. Mr. T. C. Strom, who has rented Mr. Branson's farm, for several years, has purchased a farm in the Antioch section formerly owned by Mr. A. A. Glover. One of the most progressive firms at Parksville is Messrs. Robertson Bros. & Elkins. They . carry a large stock of general merchandise, ?very department of which is well supplied for the holiday rush. This popular firm sells the celebrated Miles shoes which look well, fit veil and wear well. This wide awake firm has a large warehouse in the rear of their brick store, in which they* carry their reserve stock .md farming implements. While, in town Saturday, Mr. C. A. Long rt^as booking orders for home-grown pecans for Chistraas delivery. The writer was allowed the privilege of "sampling" the Long pecans, and we found them to be large thin shelled, very rich and possessing a delightful flavor. Mr. Long's trees bore about four bushels this year and he will have no diffi culty in selling them at 20c per lound or three pounds for 50 cents. South Carolina pecans are superior to the Texas pecan. Follow the crowd .to Rabenstein's department store, Edgefield, S. C.

Will Reside Permanently in Oklahoma City A few clays ago the writer Wils delighted to find in The Adver tiser's mail a very interesting letter from Mr. A. Lester Broadwater who went to Oklahoma City last spring. At the time of his going away, Lester thought he would only be away from the old Palmetto state a few months, but since learn ing something of the resources and possibilities of Oklahoma he has de-1 cided to make that his future home. We regret to see a younfe man so well equipped for life and so full of promise leave the borders of our count}, permanently. Lester is now in the real estate business, being connected with a large firm whose president has made something like $2,000,000 in his real estate deals during the past eight years. Dirt round about Oklahoma City is ad vancing 25 per cent each year. For the benefit of our readere we publish the following paragraph of this very interesting letter: ' Since I have been in this state I have had several inquiries from different ones concerning farm lands and other conditions here, but at the time I was unable to give the desired information. As I am now wit'i one of the strongest and most reliable real estate concerns in the state, I will gladly furnish any in formation to parties wishing to | make this their home, or desiring to invest here." The Advertiser hopes that this handsome young son of. Edgefield will make millions in a few years and then turn his face to South Carolina again. Will Develop Rural Telephone Service. , Mr. F. W. Webster and S. H. Fowlkes, representing the Farmers' Line Department of the Southern Bell Telephone Company, are in Edgefield and will remain in this vicinity during the nexV week or so. The gentlemen are looking to the development of farmers telephone lines in this section, and will visit a number of farmers who are inter ested in having telephone service in their homes. A number of progress ive farmers in this county are al ready en joying telephone service, and the indications are that a num ber of new lines will be construct ed-and connected with Edgefield within the course of'the "next few months. The increado in the number of telephones is of value to local mer chants and business men, and places Edgefield in constant communica tion with people who otherwise would not visit the city more than once or twice a week. Both Mr. Webster and Mr. Fowlkes fee I great! y encouraged over the pros -pects for new lines in this section.
