The Beautiful Triplets.
Wherever the three little girls,
triplets, of Mr. and Mrs. W- F.
.Vance go, they are always the cen
tre of attraction. They were at Red
Hill during the convention last
Thursday and on every hand they
were petted and caressed, being
greatly admired by old and young.
Their names are Effie, Eva and
Ethel. They are all the same size,
look alike and are always dressed
alike. The wonder is how even their
parents can tell one from the other.
' Well Kept Cemetery,
While passing Philippi church
Saturday the editor of The Adverti
ser was deeply and very favorably
impressed with the excellent man
ner in Avhich the people of that com
munity keep the cemetery. It has
been enclosed by a heavy, artistic
iron fence and every portion seems
to receive constant attention. We
did not observe a neglected square
in .the entire enclosure. In this
particular, thegood people of Philip
pi set the other churches of the
county an example worthy of being
followed.
Unprofitable Season.
With the heavy shipping season
practically over, the Clark's Hill
peach growers can now take a rest,
and incidentally figure out their net
profits. While much fine fruit has
been grown this year, shippers say
the season has not been altogether
satisfactory. Peaoues have not
commanded prices that comported
with their very excellent quality.
This was especially true of the
Elbertas, the supply at the time be
ing greater than the demand. Mr.
L. G. Bell, one of the Clark's Hill
peach growers, told the writer Sun
day^hat he shipped 250 crates last
season and made more money
on them than he did on G50 crates
this year. From these figures one
can iojtn some idea of how unsatis
factory the season has beeti.
The Best Hour of Life
is when you do some' great deed
or discover some wonderful fact.
This hour came to J R Pitt, of
Rocky Mt., N. C., when he was
suffering intensely, as he says,
"from the worst cold I eyer had, I
then proved to my great satisfaction,
what a wonderful oold and cough
cure Pr. King's New Discovery is.
For, after taking one bottle, I was
entirely cured. You can't say any
thing too good f a medicine like
that." It's the surest and best reme

Organ Recital.
Friday evening was a most aus
picious occasion for the organ re
citai given by the Misses Bush of
Spartanburg, in the Baptist church.
These accomplished and beautiful1
young ladies are nieces of Mrs.A.B.
Broadwater and have received many
pleasant social attentions since their
stay in our midst.
The Baptist church on Friday
evening was full of an interested
and expectant audience, anticipating
an hours's musical treat. Miss Ola
Bush is a graduate and post
graduate of pipe organ at Converse
college, and delighted all who heard
her tasteful and skilled manipula
tion of the organ. Her selections
were of varied style and all pleas
ing.
Miss Annie Bush , graduate of
Converse College school of singing,
gave a number of beautiful and at
tractive vocal selections. The whole
evening was one of enjoyment, and
the people of Edgefield are greatly
indebted to the Misses Bush for
their gracious service.

pain in the back, kid

hold water and scalding pain in passing it,
or bad effects following use of liquor, wine
or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
through the day, and to get up manj
times during the night.
Swamp-Root is not recommended for
everything but if you have kidney, liver
or bladder trouble, it will be found just
the remedy you need. Jt has been thor
oughly tested in private practice, and has
proved so successful that a special ar
rangement has been made by which all
readers of this paper; who have not al
ready tried it, may have a sample bottle
sent free by mail, also a book telling
more about Swamp-Root, and how to
find out if you have kid
ney or bladder trouble.

Mrs. B F Matheny, 934 Barnes

Doan's kidney pills with great bene
fit. I was a sufferer from backache
and pains through my loins and kid
neys and I could hardly get around
for days. It was almost impossible
for me to rest, I had but little
strength or energy and suffered
from headaches. I spent a lot of
money doctoring, but did not get
satisfactory results until I heard
about Doan's kidney pills and pro
cured a box. Since using them ray
back does not pain mo and ray kid
neys are normal. I now feel like a
different woman and have told
many of my friends about Doan's
