The floral department of the fair .will be more attractive this year than it has been in several years. If you do not care anything about j the fair, and unfortunately a large j number of farmers do not, briner the children in to see the carnival. It is composed of an aggregation of good clean shows. The Corner Store hap two attract ive advertisements in this issue thar should prove to be of especial inter est to the ladies. Mr. Turner call h attention to bis large stock of shoes and to the ladies coat suit and millinery department. Our furniture department is well supplied with all grades.

As announced in a formal notice published elsewhere in this issue the law firm of Thurmond and Nichol son bas been mutually dissolved. Mr. Thurmond will continue to practice law in the office heretofore occupied by the firm, and Mr. Nicholson will occupy the office on the ground floor of the Addison building, being next door to the office of Messrs. Sheppard Brou There is no work pressing on the farm at this season. Practically all .?c: rn has been gathered, most of the cats have been sown and but little cotton remains in the field, so come in to the county fair Thursday and Friday and bring the whole family. Encourage the managers by your presence, if you can do nothing more. Inspect my exhibit carefully at fair ground. L. T. May. Come to the fair to-morrow and Friday and you will see the most gorgeous parades ever seen iu Edge field. That is saving a great deal, considering the successful parades of former years, yet we are confi dent of what we say. The Adver tiser man has already seen some of the finished rigs and floats, and there is no gainsaying the fact that nothing more artistic has ever been -seen in Edgetield. It's a very small, selfish father -who will not stop a day and take the children to the county fair. You may not be able to take the whole family to the large fairs in Colum bia and Augusta but surely you cati bring them to Edgefield. The lit tle fellows will greatly enjoy a day spent on the fair grounds. The carnival will give practically a con tint oue performance. The concert given by the Beulah Buck Company, under the auspices of the Beethoven club at Liberty bail Monday evening drew an audi ence which filled the auditorium. Taken as whole the concert was very good, the duet and quartet numbers being particularly pleasing. As a nader Mrs. Buck proved most) pleasing, and each member of the company gave their numbers in a .way that both pleased and gratified the audience.-Albert Lea (Minn.) Tribune. Be sure and see my exhibit at fair ground. L. T. May. Discard the old cook stove that smokes and wastes wood. Let us aell you an Excelsior, Star Leader or Derby. We buy in large quanti ties and can make very close prices. Ramsey & Jones. v i. Miss Nannie Gunter of Batesburg is visiting Mrs. B. B. Jones.

Very large stock of art squares, rugs, matting, etc. We have never shown a prettier assortmen t of these goods. Ramsey & Jones. Mr. S. Cheatham is over ac-in from his Georgia home looking after business interests. We rather suspect -our good friend is home sick but will not admit it.

If you do uot believe what oth ers nay about this market, bring a load of cotton here and see what you will be paid for it, A new line of ladies long coats, just received. Prices about half of regular price. Rubenstein. As has been his custom for the past four years, Steward John Scur ry will come in Friday with his team of four fine mules and have his wagon converted into an at tractive band wagon, which will lead the parade.

May. Oats Sown on West Side. While the writer was at dinner a few days ago "Uncle" Iv Morgan called at The Advertiser office, as is his wont when he comes to Edge field. When we returned lo the office this terse little self-explanato ry note was lying on our desk: "Any oats sown on the west side? Yes, sir. Any of them up? Yes, sir. Through sowing? No, sir. And if the sowing of oats continues for the next two weeks we will have to clear up the briar patches, buru off the straw fields and cultivate the pasture lands next year. Selah! Uncle Iv. Fuller-Hilton. The elegant country home of Mr. and Mrs. U. C. Fuller wis the scene of a lovely wedding last Wednes day, November 6. It was on this day that their daughter Miss Minnie was married to Mr. W7alter R. Hilton of Abbeville. The Rev. J. S. Harris of McCormick officiat ed. The wedding march was played by Miss Louise Solomons of Troy. The attendants were Miss Lila Fuller, Miss Lillie Hackett, Mi?s Amelia Barnes, Messrs. James K. McDerman, W. W. Hilton and T. E. Fuller. An elaborate wedding dinner was served in true old south ern style. Early in the afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Hilton left for their wedding tour which will include several northern cities. These young people have a host of admiring friends who extend congratulations and many sincere wishes for a hap py future. Timmono and Morgan. This ii the name of the new drug* firm. The friends of Mr. S., E. Morgan will be pleased to learn that he has purchased an interest in the drug store of Mr. Beauregard Tim mons and henceforth the style of the business will be Timmons & Morgan. They will enlarge their stock and add many improvements. The Advertiser salutes the new firm and wishes it a successful career. Death of Mrs. Wiley. The oldest inmate of the County Home,Mrs. Rosa Wiley, died on the 25th of October and was buried the next day in the cemetery adjoining the Home. Mrs. Wiley was a unique character. She has been living at the Home for more than 20 years and will be missed by those who came in contact with her daily. She spent most of her time making rugs of scraps of cloth and material of that kind. She also made hats. She possessed a bright sunny disposition in spite of her misfortune. Good Cotton and Cotton Seed Market. Many Regrets That Mr. Freeman Will Leave Here. Dear Old Advertiser:- I missed getiinR in anything in your paper last week and am getting in late this week. This Monday morning, our cotton market opened up with Augusta prices and by noon was in advance of the Augusta market. The result is that only three of us out of six buyers remained in the market. Not only the cotton market in ahead of the Augusta market but the cotton seed market is up and above Augusta. We had another one of Brother Freeman's good logical sermons in the Baptist church yesterday like all of his sermons are forceful, en tertaining and edifying. Last Fri day night brother Freeman gave the young people of the B. Y. P. TJ. a nice entertainment which was very much enioyed and appieciated by all the young people. There has not been a minister of either the Bap tist or Methodist churches here that has been loved and appreciated more or equal to what Brother Freeman has with the young of both churches and they regret his leaving. ,. Our town is moving to the front with a vim and with a determina tion to be in the forefront. The prices we are paying the farmer for his produce speak well for itself. Property prices and the demand for town lots and for farming lands out side of town is a sign of prosperity, and one other good feature is that our people are a unit in booming our town and especially our high school, which I think is as good as you will find in any small town in the state. Our fanners are sowing extensively of small grain, i. e., oats to make up for th i short eiop of both corn and cotton. A loo of the small farming especially those who rent will be hard pressed if the mer chants and banks don't bear with them and there seems to be a dispo sition as far as the banks and mer chants are able to do to carry them over. There are a few things we want to help our town. One is an up-to date drug store, and more stores and larger ones with good business men at the head of them. Mr. Editor, we have not entirely abandoned the idea of a troliey line to Edgefield. We will say more by and by. Don Carlos. CHURCH NOTICES The regular monthly union ser vice will be held next Sunday even ing at the Presbyterian church. The sermon will be preached by Rev. J. R. Walker.
