Dinner at Republican. The Advertiser has been request ed to announce that the ladies of Republican church will give a din ner at the church on Wednesday, the 27 th, for the benefit of the church. Adults will be charged 35 cents and children 25 cents. These ?very earnest workers deserve a gen ?erous patronage. How They Will Spend Christ mas. Col. and Mrs. F. N. K. Bailey have gone to Florida; Miss Tisdale is at home in North Carolina; Miss Minnie Dicks left for her home in Chattanooga; Capt. R. B. Cain will pass the holidays at his home near Sumter; Prof. R.

Friday night, December 22nd, "beginning at eight o'clock, an en tertainment will be given for the 'benefit of the library of the Parks ville school. A very interesting program has been arranged and will be well carried out by local talent. It is hoped that the entertainment will be largely patronized as the ob ject for which it is given isa very worthy one. Adults will be charg ed 10 cents admission,childrenwill be admitted free. Musical at Trenton. A very pleasant occasion will be the musical to be given At Trenton by the music pupils of the Trenton High School next Friday night. A very interesting program has been arranged by Miss Ed ward ina Bla lock, the teacher of the music de partment. The exercise* will begin at eight o'clock. A small admission fee will be charged in erder to pay off a balance that is due on the piano which was purchased by the school. A Near-Ideal Condition. With the coming of Rev. E. C. ' Bailey, the Presbyterian minister, 1 early in the new year, Edgefield will again have her full quota of ; ministers, and we have reason to believe that the same spirit of cor- I dial good fellowship and brotherly 1 love will continue to prevail among ; them in the future as during the 1 past eight years. Some communities ' are so unfortunate as to have at ; times an undercurrent of sectarian ism or denominational antagonism. * For many years Edgefield has been J spared this unpleasant and unprofi table experience. May it be so on and on and on till tbe final bugle 1 blast is heard!

The leading social event of last week was an elaborate reception that was given Thursday afternoon from 3:30 to 5:30 by Mrs. A. E. Padgett in honor of Miss Lois Shores of Spartanburg. A spirited guessing contest was engaged in soon after the 6core and more of guests arrived. The prize, a silver hat pin, fell to the lot of Alias Pearl Padgett. The hostess presented the guest of honor with a beautifully bound copy of Byron's poems. The vocal solos by Miss Madge Turner and the instrumental selections by Miss Edwardina Blalock, two of Edgefield's most gifted young mu sicians, added greatly to the pleas ure of the afternoon. Beautiful Christmas cards were pre3ented to the guests as souvenirs. The hostess served asilad courae. Death of Miss Ruth Mays. The newly-made mound in Horn's Creek cemetery marks the resting place of all that was mortal of Miss Ruth Mays, her body being borne to the grave by her class-mates, young men of the senior class of the South Carolina Co-Educational In stitute. The announcement of her death last Thursday fell like a pall upon this community, where she was so widdy and sincerely beloved. Being gentle, amiable, sweet spirited, always kind and thought ful of others, everybody was Ruth Mays' friend. What wonder then that her death has caused such pro found sorrow among the host of friends who loved her. Though 6he was upon the threshold of young womanhood, yet we think of her < as but a little girl with a sweet smile and bright, cheery word for her friends wherever she met them. She was a member of Horn's < Creek church, where the funeral was conducted Friday afternoon, Dr. M. D. Jeffries officiating. Lightning Kills Few. In 1900 lightning killed only IOU people in this whole country. One's chance? of death by lightning are ess than two in a million. The chance of death from liver, kidney ' or stomach trouble is vastly greater, but not if Electric Bitters be used, ss Robert Madsen, of West Bur lington, Ia;, proved. Four doctor* ?ave him up? after eight months of suffering from virulent liver trouble and yellow jaundice. He was then completely cured by Electric Bit- 1 tors. They're the best stomach, liver, nerve and kidney remedj and blood purifier on earth. Only 50c at Penn & Holstein's W E Lynch ds Co., B Timmons. Farm For Sale: In Ridge sec tion, Ask for free list.

He wrote all of the boys who ente red and urged them to make a report, filing a certain day for the close. When the day arrived only a few reports were in hand but he had to award the prizes anyway. Mr. Bennie Haston was awarded the shotgun as a prize for the lar gest yield, and $5 in money for the best singk ear. Mr. J. T. McManus, Jr., wai awarded $5 in cash for the best ten acres of corn. f Although the past year has been unfavorable and in consequence the interest somewhat lagged, yet Mr. Fuller is not discouraged. It is his purpose to organize another club for a corn contest next year. The prizes that are now on hand will be held and offered in the contest next year. Schedules Southern Railway.

The people are not falling over each ocher to get to the county treasurer's desk, this being shown by the very small number of receipts that have been issued up to this time. Mr. J. T. Mims, the county treasurer, told the Advertiser's rep resentative yesterday that up to this date he has collected oily about $12,000 which is but little more 12 per cent of the entire amount of taxes on the books. The collec tions last year were much larger than for the same period this year. Ends Winter's Trouble!. To many winter is a season of trouble.
