Mr. Johns, rector of one of ] the Reading Episcopal ch arches inj ? Washington, D. C., has arrived iii Eduefield to spend several weeks with Rev. R. G. Shannonhouse.

Mr. Bean Walker has accepted a position in the ma chi oe shops of the mill at Bath. Edgefield gave up these good peo ple with great rel uctance. , A strong, indication that fourteen cents cotton has put ready cash in somebody's pocket is found in the act that Messrs. Wilson <fe Cante lo? sold about twenty horses and mules during December, receiving) sp?t, cash for every one of them. Heretofore, the demand for stock did not open till after Christmas, and then a large per cent were,sold on credit. Mr. B. J. Day is one of the most succ?ssfal farmers in, the. county, and, the secret of his success is the adoption of modern methods and improved implements. He brought bisVagon to Edgefield last week and carried back a large three borse Deere turn plow, a stalk cut ter and a neavy disk harrow. Mr. Day made 76 bales of cotton on S$\ ores la8tyear. 1 I You will doubtless never have an [Opportunity off hearing vivid ao e^nnta^of polar expeditions from ije.lipg of Cook_or Peary, but: Fri dayTn?ght yon ?aihe'ar one wno ac ~c?.mp"?nied both of the explorers to thVartic regions.

To say that, they greatly pleased the au dience rs but stating the fact mildly. They are born entertainers and sang with ajvim and snap that carried the audience with them from the start.. /Too much cannot be said in praise Jo f the Sextette from the Ha waiian Islands. Every number was encored. The entertainers proved themselves to . be finished singers and instrumentalists. The iJustra ted views of tb.3 Islands, alone, were worth the price of admission."

Entriken, who with his bride is spending a short time in Aiken, has been induced to come to Edge field to deliver a lecture on the Arc tic regions. Mr. Entriken has been on three polar expeditions, having ! accompanied Cook and Peary both A very strong indorsement of bis integrity as a man and quali cations as a lecturer is found in the fact that some years ago he was chosen by the government as one of the par ty of eight who composed the Peary relief expedition. Mr. Entriken will lecture in the opera house Fri day night, beginning at 7:30 o'clock. Besides appearing in Arctic clothing of heavy furs, ht will illustrate his lecture with a very powerful store-j djpticon, giving in all about 200 Views. j For several months you have been reading of the hardships and thrilling experiences of Couk and Peary, neither of whom you will eyer sae or hear, and now you have the opportunity of hearing one who underwent al I of the privations and experienced all of the pleasures of j polar expe lirions. Do not let the j opportunity pass. Take your sweet heart or eveiy membei of your fam ily, as the case may be. The ladies have put the price within reach of j all: 35 cents for reserved seats and | %b cents for general adrnission.Tick ejs on sale at ?lives Bros. store. Meeting' of County Union. A me?tiug o? the Farmers'- XJDion of Edgefield county was hem m the court house-Monday, but-as-the day was very cold the attendance was small. Practically no business was transacted. The . 'members of the County Union desire to go on rec ord as favoring a small tax on all hunters^ say une or two dollars per annum. This meeting was discussed in ^Monday's" meeting. The next matter of the County Union will bi held on Tuesday after the first Monday in April. Special Offer on Pianos. On January 3rd, Mersrs. Holland Bros, of Greenwood, the large and very reliable dealers in musical in struments, received an order for a $300.00-piano, shipping it out the same day. The sale of this instru ment was the result of a special proposition which they have on 100 Farrand pianos at ?3oo. each. The person who ordered the piano had investigated the pianos and prices, and knew a good thing when they saw it. If you want scalp treatment, dan druff cured and your hair to grow, go to see Mrs. W. C. Hatch er at Mrs. N. M. Jones'. Thi> work will be done quickly. If you want braids made, save your combings and take them to Mrs. Hatcher. _??_ I Small Number Examined. Pursuant to the announcement, County Superintendent of Educa tion A. R. Nicholson held the ex amination for teachers Friday last but owing to the cold weather only two white teachers, Miss Janie Rosenswike, of Cleora, and Mr. F. A. Wise, who has been teaching below Trenton, appeared to be ex amined. There was only one color ed applicant. ' County's Roads Good. Supervisor R. J. Moultrie and his co-workers, the members of the board of commissioners, Mr. J. N. Griftis and Mr. J. O.. Herrin, can not be commended too highly for^ the excellent condition of the public roads of the county. Not? ithstand ing the fact that it is now the* mid dle of January, tne roads in the main are in better condition than they were in midsummer some years ago. Supervisor Moultrie is having thorough work done a specimen be ing" the recently worked portion of the road between Edgefield and Johnston. The road has been wi dened in places by opening the old ditches on the sides and the dirt has been i'.raggsd to the centre, which keepi high and dry the beat en track made by vehicles. Statement. Fr om Cemetery As sociation. The annual dues of members of. the C. numery Association will be called for within the next few days. From this time on it will be neces sary to depend upon these for the most part to meet the expenses of the association. Heretofore, these have amounted to less than one hundred dollars. It will take twice that amount to maintain a keeper and meet other expenses. The com mittee must urge, therefore, that those interested in the cemetery contribute more generally and gen erous! y. Shall our cemetery be kept in neat condition, and thus a proper respect be shown thc memory of our dead? Your response to this ap peal will answer the question. C. E. Burts, For Committee. TSiotice. On the fifth !"d?y of' February 1910, the'undersigned will make a final settlement of the estate of Miss Bessie C. Johnson, deceased, in the office of Judge of Probate ,at Edgefield, South Carolina, and will at the same time apply for a final discharge from this trust as admin istrator with the' will annexed of said estate.

He is now recognized as one of the foremost base ball play ers of the south. Everywhere he has played, the press has been unstinted in its praises of his fine plays. The Roanoke Times recently published nearly a half column concerning Joe's record. It was in Roanoke that he made such a fin? record last sum mer. About the middle of February Joe will go to Clemson to coach the team for two months. They are very fortunate in <-ecuring his ser vices. He has signed up with Roa noke for another season, which will open about the middle of April. 1 Southern Schedule The following schedule went in to effect Monday, January 3rd: Between Aiken and Edgefield: N o. 207Jeave EcTg(field 6:50 p. m . arrieve Tienten 7:10, same as at pres f?t.

I want to begin the new year in business by thanking my friends and customers for the success which I have had during . the year -just | closed. In both the watchwork and Op tical branches of my business, I am very much gratified to have seen a steady and substancial improve ment, which goes to show that the efforts which I have made during the past year 1909 to continually raise the standard of my business wherever possible, has not been overlooked by my patrons. And now for 1910, with better appliances, better equippment, bet ter methods and new ideas, and with a double soled stock of determina tion to still raise the standard, if possible. I beg a continuance ?/f| the patronage whicn the public has kindly given me. . Respectfully yours GEORGE F MIMS, Edgefield, - ? - S.C. Nature's Warning.
