Photographed Bone of Arm.
Several weeks ago the little son
of Capt: and Mrs. John R. Blocker
fell from a horse and broke his left
arm near the shoulder, and as the
wound seemed to be healing very
slowly Capt. Blocker carried him
to Columbia last week for examina
tion. The surgeon made an X-ray
examination which enabled him to
determine the character of the frac
ture. Capt. Blooker brought home
an X-ray photograph which showed
the broken bone in the arm. The
surgeon assured Capt. Blocker that
the arm woald soon heal and leave
BO permanent injury of any kind.
Trenton Lyceum.
The lyceum course at Trenton on
Monday night was an entertainment
most entertaining. All seemed we!!
iepaid for their being present. S^me
could not possibly be there on ac
count of circumstances over which
they had no control; others, sad to
say, have no taste for good things;
others were too poor; still, others
too stingy to smell & few flowers,
drink a little spring water, enjoy a
good laugh, and have an innocent
pleasure time while passing through
life. Alas, some folks are so hard
on themselves. They seem to be get
ting very little out of either
life. B.
Responded to Our Request
Last week the editor of The Ad
vertiser requested those who have
old copies of the paper and do not
particularly prizs or value them to
send them to ns. In responses to the
request, Prof. G. F. Long came in
Saturday and brought us about a
half dozen copies of The Advertis
er. One was published as early as
March 1, 1843. Another highly
prized copy was that published in
red ink on August 15, 1878, in
commemoration of the campaign ol'
187(5. We appreciate Prof. Long'8
kindness in responding to our re
quest of last week. The eopies
which he gave us were preserved by
Mrs. Long. They bear the name of
ber father, the late Samuel Marsh.
Mr. Cooper's Generosity.
La-t week in reporting the work
that was contributed in improving
the Five-Notch road through co
operation with Supervisor Edmunds,
The Advertiser made an uninten
tional error in stating what work
was contributed by Mr. John V.
Cooper. We should have stated that
he sent a two-horse wagon and
driver 6 days and in addition gave
.sn extra hand one day. This was

iot all that Mr. Cooper contributed.
So well was he pleased with the
splendid work of Supervisor Ed
munds, that he gave a hog which
was barbeoued by Chef Edmunds,
making: a royal feast for the super
visor, foreman guards and convicts.
Mr. Cooper not only contributed
generously but did it in such a gra
cious manner. His kindness was
greatly appreciated by the supervi
sor and his co-workers.
Letter From Pine Grove School.
Dear Advertiser: As none of ns
have written a letter from our
school iu sometime, I will write a
few lines to you this beautiful morn
ing.
In spite of all the bad weather
the farmers have hauled their ga
ano,and are buiy preparing their land
for a big crop.
We have had several days of
oold weather, but we trust that
Jack Frost will stay away for the
trees are in full bloom, and weare
expecting a large crop ot fruit.
We feel encouraged to write an
essay for another year if we didn't
win a prize this year. I expeot
to follow the old motto: If you
don't at first succeed, try, try,
again.
Air. W. W. Fuller has visited
our school, and we are glad to say
that he thinks we are progressing
nicely.
Last Friday afternoon our teach
er Mrs. M. E. Thurmond, gave
an Easter hunt, on the school
grounds, which we all enjoyed very
much.
Our school will close next month,
and I will be sorry when it closes.
I will come again when there is
more news in our neighborhood.
With best wishes to you a. d to the
readers cf the Advertiser.

Graded School Entertainment.
A large audience assembled in
the college auditorium Monday
evening to witness the entertain
ment which was given by the pupils
of the graded school. Each number
on the carefully prepared program
was thoroughly enjoyed, the per
formers winning many honors for
themselves as well as reflecting last
ing credit upon the corps ot lady
teacher who have worked so un
selfi ?lily for the success of the school
from every standpoint. Tho pro
gram of the entertainment will be
found on the 2nd page of tins issue. !
We reg ret that we have not the J
space to make a personal reference
Wall of the little folks and young
people who presented their parts so
faultlessly. Edgetield children are
in t (1 fin their gifts as entertainers,
and on .\londay evening they kept
the splendid record unbroken. The
teachers ?ealized about $05 from
the door -eceiptf?. The Advertiser's
wnly regret ?B that the sum was nv>t
twice as large. Then it would have
been more in keeping wita the
efforts that were put forth in train
ing the children for the entertain
ment. A feature of the entertain
ment that must not be overlooked
was the mnsic supplied by the or
chestra. Prof. Entzrainger and his
corps of musicians were compli
mented on every hand.

Letter From Antioch School.
Mr. Editor: I have enjoyed read
ing the school letters so mnoh, in
fact, ali of ns do. There are 28 pu
pils in our school and the mail al
ways comes at the noon hour so on
Thursday we all rush for The Ad
vertiser to see who has written this
week, so maybe some other children
would be glad to see a letter from
our school.
We have a right' good time at
school, but have to study mighty
hard I think. Our teacher's motto
must be "work while you work and
play while yon play," so we do
both. We had a nioe egg hunt last
Friday afternoon. The prize was
awarded to Aleen Bussey, the one
who found the golden egg. Every
Friday afternoon we have a nice
program and very often have lots
of company.
We enjoyed "Sohool girl's" let
ter from White Town sohool and I
know they do enjoy hearing their
teacher tell about her trip to Wash
ington, and all about the inaugura
tion of President Wilson.
We are planning for a pionio at
the close of school and I know we
are going to have a nice time. I
think we have about three more
weeks to go to school.
Mr. Editor, I don't keep up with
the news of the neighborhood, but
Messrs. West' & Jones have put a
piazza to their store. Their store is
almost in our school yard, and that
piazza is a good place for the men
to sit out in the sun.
