L and everything is moving along as systematically as if there had been no interruption cf the routine work by the L -didays. Everybody is talking parcel post but The Advertiser is of the opinion that an old-fashioned registered let ter is preferable to a bundle, bale or box a la parcel post.

Some of the merchants have been spending the past" week taking stock 'and closing up the old year's busi ness.

Jasper Talbert of Edgefield as representative from South Carolina on the Gettysburg battle commis sion to take the place made vacant by the death of Gen. James W. Moore. While very few farmers will now be benefitted by a rise, it is proba ble that cotton seed will go still higher. Cotton seed meal is selling for $29 per ton and hulls at $12 per ton. These prices are unusually high for the season, and it is proba ble that meal will advance still more. The Knights of Pythias will give their annual banquet in the college dining room on Monday night, January 16. Each Knight will have the privilege of taking his wife, sis ter or sweetheart.

The Daughters of the Confedera cy were delightfully entertained Tuesday afternoon by Mrs. J. P. Ouzts. As the guests arrived they were received by the hostess and con ducted into the parlor where Mrs. F. F. Moseley served them with de licious fruit nectar. The meeting was held in the spa cious dining room affording ample room for the score or more of la dies present. The national convention recently held in Washington, D. C., was the main point of interest on the pro gram and the readings and reports were echoes of that memorable oc casion.

The refreshments consisted of chicken salad, sandwiches and coffee and were served by little Edith, the youngest daughter of Mrs. Ouzt8. Monthly Meeting of W. C. T. U.

It was the first meeting of the New Year and each member told in a few words her resolutions for j 913. This exchange of thought and pur pose was inspiring, serving to stim ulate to higher ideals and nobler impulses. Mrs. T. H. Rainsford led the de votional exercises using appropriate passages of scripture with prayer. The president, Mrs. Mims, gave a j resume of last year's progress and read a comprehensive and optimis tic paper containing wise and help ful suggestions for the plan of work for the union during the com ing year, pointing out many oppor tunities for effective work along temperance lines. Scientific tem perance instruction in the schools and through medal contests was emphasized as a potent factor to wards creating sentiment against the liquor evil. In the report of what had been accomplished through the efforts of the W. C. T. U., was mentioned that nearly every church in Edge field association, both white and colored, had adopted the use of un fermented wine for the sacra ment. It is a raie occurrence also that wine is served at private homes for social functions due to a change in public opinion from the ante bellum custom when it was found in every household. Mrs. Shannonhouse and Mrs. Tompkins sang a beautiful duet well suited to their voices that blended in sweet harmony. Mrs. W. E. Lott read current events that were full nf encourag ing and surprising facts to those in terested in temp?rance reform, which is fast becoming world-wide in its influence. Afier a reading by Mrs. W. L. Dnnovant, the hostess served or ange blanc mange and fruit cake and presented each guest with New Year greetings, neatly printed j ou a small slip of paper and tied with the emblem of the W. C. T. LT.! a white ribbon. Guest. Honor Roll For December.
