Attend the Lee celebration in the r-pera house this afternoon. V. E. DePass, Esq., of Columbia, was in Edgefield Monday on profes sional business.

Holley, of Aiken, has been spending several days in - Edgefield with her daughter, Mrs. J. F. Entzmmger. W,e are indebted to our very kind friend, Mrv James T. Ouzts, for a Jarge bag of very fine turnips. Mr. Ouzts is the champion turnip grow er of the county. Guano wagons on deck! We counted thirty-odd on the public, square from our office window Mon-J day, which is a pretty good showing for^he middle of January. i Miss Mazie Little, of Laurens, is' the guest of Mrs! W, S.

See him or drop him a card ;if yon need any fruit trees. * An order has been placed for a pipe organ for the Baptist church. As it requires about three months S & build such an instrument, the in stallation will not take place before the middle of April. The organ will cost $1500. The members of the local chap ter JJ. D. C. are doing their utmost IQ make the Lee celebration a suc cess this afternoon. Close your of fice or store and contribute to the success of the occasion by your . presence. There has been considerable ac tivity in real estate circles in Edge field recently. Those who contem plate purchasing a home here should do so at once, for Edgefield dirt is increasing in price. It will never be cheaper than it is to-day. " One of the prettiest residences in town is the new cottage of Prof. J. F. Entzminger. Mr. Warren Paul had the contract for the painting and is being complimented upon the very excellent mannt r in which it was done. Mr. Paul lias had many years ! of experience. , . .Rev. Mr. Harmon, who has been . assisting Rev. L. G. Gillespie in the ? revival services at the mill chapel, .filled the Methodist pulpit Sunday 'afternoon last. His zeal, earoest .-ness, fluency of speech and logical reasoning made this carefully pre pared discourse very effective. ' Auditor J. R. Timmerman spent ^.asj week in the western part of the 'jp?tfinfy meeting .the tax payers, and * .thn's week he is ?D the e?stern portion .of-the county taking returns of per enal property and real estate*.

Mr. Winn expects to enter the corn contest later. He has learned by experience itiat'intensive faming, is the only kind that pays. % In spite of the very cold weather cf the past few weeks, the grain has been injured but little. Mr. J; ?. Atkinson went from his home to IJincolnton, Ga., thence to Edge tied last week, and he told the writer that everywhere he had been the grain was look g well, had been injured but iittiule.

Turner, one ?f Joli li ston's most progressive citizens, told the writer a few days ago that he has already had about fifteen' ap plications for ' the two new stores which he is soon to erect next door to Mr. Crouch's store, which is an indication that Johnston is a pros perous town. Mr. T. W. Rearden who purchas a farm near town last year is a hard worker and a good manager. From a half acre planted in turnips last summer he will realize about $00. Mr. Hearder left home Thursday morning for Augusta with a two horse load of turnips and returned the night of the same day. The road5 of the county are un speakably kind to autoists. Hon. Y?1 A. Strom came down in his handsome touring car Monday. Sev eral years ago making the trip to Edgefield from Boles Mountain over the Blocker road in January would have been almost as impossible as ascending Mt. McKinley. The pupils of the music depart ment will give a recital at the col lege Monday evening, January 31st. The public is cordially invited. No admission will be charged. These recitals are always thoroughly en joyed by Edgefield's lovers of mu sic and we feel assured that the air tendance will be large on this occa sion. Mr. H. T. Med lock, who has been assisting County Trea surer James T. Mims since the office opened in Oe tober for the collection of taxes, has returned to his Lome in the lower part of the county. Mr. Medlock is an exemplary young man and Edgefield reluctantly gave him up. He made many warm friends whil? here. Mr. John Clegg bas been spend ing the past week in Edgefield with hi.> nephew, Mr. YV H. Hariing. For the past twelve years he has Oven chief pf police for the town of Greenwood, but having been in de clining: health fx>r several months is now taking a vacation. Mr. Clegg has always made a brave and very efficient ofiieeiVof the law. The. Advertiser had a very pleas ant call'from Prbf. Boling on Sat urday. He is now-teaching a class in vocal music at Red Hill church Since the first of September Prof. Boling has taught large classes at Stevens' Creek,. McKendree Moun tain Creek and Peace Haven. He will close the ten days' course of instruction at Red Hill with a pub lic recital Friday night next. Tn a few days Supervisor R. J. Moultrie will bring his road working force to Edgefield and under the di rection of the town council will open streets through the property which Mrs. Kate Lynch recently had laid off into building lots. The county owes the town sufficient labor to do this work. Through Ab Clark and others Edgefield lias been doing some good work on the public roads of the county during the past year. We desire to call attention to the advertisement of Messrs. May & Ed munds in this issue. The members of this firm, Messrs. A. A. Edmunds and L. T. May, need no introduction to the Edgefield public. Mr. Ed munds is the active manager and assures -the eating public that they wiil be .served in the-best manner possible; Ladies and children will receive careful attention. No drink ing or profanity will' be allowed. When hungry, thirsty or weary give this popular restaurant a call. U. D. C 's, ?ttenti?n! All members of the LT. D. C. are requested to meet at Mis. P. B.

Haltiwanger is making good progress with his company, The Southern States Life Insurance Company, having written policies last week amounting to $7,000. Had the people of the South or ganized insurance companies soon after the war and kept their money at liorae, this section of the county would doubtless be several billions of dollars better off.

All members in good standing and all visiting breth ren are cordiallv invited to attend. W. E. LOTT, W. M. J. R.

Thc music was very attractive and beaut i fal. Tho students themselves perhaps charmed most, and the pictures of tho Hawaiian islands were the best of the kind ever seen in our town. Altogether, it was the most enjoy able occasion Edgefield has had iii a longtime. ? ''Love Story Number." The February number of one of the leading magazines which is fresh from the press is entitled the ''Love Story Number," and The Advertiser contemplates presenting each of thc following young gentlemen with a copy: Dr. Corley, Leslie Kernaghan, Allen Samuel, Henry Mcdlock, Joe Holland, and Vivian Mims with a copj\ It is probable, too, that one or two copies might find congenial companionship among the members of The Advertiser's force. > Mothers Meeting.

January is the month in which is devoted to the subject of Mothers Meetings in the Woman's Christian Tempranee Unions all over the world. Let all who receive an invitation come and bring their mothers. Nurses will not be needed, as the children will be amused by a special committee.
