J$ Office No. 61. fjLft Residence, No. 17. Wednesday, June II. LOCAL AND PERSONAL Misses Elizabeth and Jane Rains ford are at home from the College for women of Columbia. Miss Lena Ouzts of Kirksey spent last week here with her sister, Mrs. Albert Kemp. Misses Eva and Bess Lassater left here Monday evening for their home in Luthersville, Ga. Misses Mary Talbert and Julia Folk will leave here Friday for an extended visit to friends in New berry. Capt N. G. Evans, Mr. W. T. Kinnaird and Mr. W. M. Hudgens attended the United States court in Charleston last week. Col. F. N. K. Bailey was in town Monday. He announces that the B. M. I. will have an office open here by June 15th.-Greenwood Index. The Colliers community has been made happy by the return of Miss Ellie Mae Miller from Limestone college. Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Prince, Mrs. Jane Harling and Mr. M. H. Deal spent Sunday at Johnston with Mr. and Mrs. Yancy May. Mr. R. L. Dunovant attended the commencement exercises of Win throp college last week to witness the graduating exercises of his daughter, Miss Mamie Dunovant. While cotton generally is very late, one farmer told The Advertis er's representative Saturday that he has "squares" and expects cotton blooms at the usual time. Ropers and Colliers are now rep resented in The Advertiser's oom contest. Mr. B. T. Lanham and Master Hart Miller were the last names enrolled. Wo yet have room for others to enroll. Miss Mamie Dunovant and Miss JM&ry Adams Hughes are at home from Winthrop college. .They have completed the full course of four years. Edgetield is very proud of the record that these ye ung ladies made at this splendid institution. Miss Hattie Strom was the guest of Misses Lila and Ethel Logan Sat urday, having stopped in Edgefield while en route from Latta where she has been spending several weeks ?with her sister, Mrs. Annie Mae Fields. "We passed the prize aere of Mr. B. R. . Smith Sunday. His stand seems to be perfect and for the sea son the corn is all that it is possi ble for it to be- Of course many un toward things could happen before the corn is harvested. It seems to be the universal opin ion that in spite of the prolonged drought, the crop of grain re cently harvested was the largest yield ever made in the county. An unusually large acreage was sown, very little of it being killed in the .winter. Mr. W. D. Allen and Mr. S. B. Mays, Jr., left Monday morning for the West. They will probably lo cate in Kansas. The Edgefield friends of these young men wish them well, trusting that they will ha successful in whatever line of business they engage. Sergt. R. P. Staley, Corporal O. L. L. Neely and Corporal James B. Jones, of Charleston, all members of the United States marine corps, have been visiting Mrs. Sallie J?rooks Moseley. Mr. Willim Hayes and Mr. Milledge Bonham Brooks, also of Charleston, have been guests at the home of Mrs. Moseley. Misses May Tompkins, Gladys Rives, Snow Jeffries and Natalie Padgett reached home Saturday from the Greenville Female college. In- j stead of coming directly to Edgefield after the commencement of theG. F. C. Miss Helen Tillman went from Greenville to Sullivan's Island to spend some time. Mr. and tirs. J. L. Mirna spent Sunday at Johnston with Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Walton. The very suc cessful manner in which Mr. Wal ton conducts his farm entitles him to first place among the farmers of the county. His cotton is the finest that we have Been. He only plants ti ve acres in corn and every acre has the appearance of being a "pet" acre. Mr. Walton will thresh about 1,400 bushels of oats from 33 acres. You can feed both your land ar stock by sowing liberally ( peas. Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Sanders le Monday to spend several days Jacksonville, Fla. Mrs. ?. T. Samuel returned Fi day last from Blun, Ga., where si spent a fortnight with her aunt. Mr. James E. Hart, Jr..has arri ed from Florida to spend the mom of June. The late autumn temperature sn gests the usual question: How mar shopping days before Christmas? The picnic spirit is no longer i the atmosphere. Several have bee postponed because of the weathe Mrs. Mamie N. Tillman went 1 Charleston last Thursday to coi duct a Missionary Institute for sei eral days. Mr. Benjamin Greneker has a rived from Wofford colleg where he has been applying himsel closely for the past nine months. Miss Mojeeka Moody of Augni ta is here spending the summer a the home of her aunt, Mrs. A. A Edmunds. The weather man has leaped ove about four months. Instead of cot ton planting season it is .now cot to: picking season. Mrs. A. A. Woodson arnvei from Augns!:'. yesterday to visi Mrs. E. E. Adams and Mrs. J. I Minus. The regular quarterly etatemen of the Bank of Edgefield is publish ed in this issue in response to the call of the state bauk examiner. June is said to be the ideal monti in whioh to have the nuptial knoi tied. Cerrainly no objection can b< raised to the June of 1913. Ice'wagons have been supplanted by coal wagons. Better order suffi cient coal to carry yoi through the summer before the sup ply is exhausted. A eold snap in June serves at least one good purpose. It make? the ladies wear a normal amount of clothing in spite of the prevailing fashion. Mr. R. L. Dunovant has a cow that will give seven gallons of milk per day. Our friend Sam Taylor ie the authority upon ' which we base the statement. The Lynch-Penn-Holstein-Tim mons-Morgan drug stores now have formidable competition. Mr. E. J. Mims served frozen strawberries from his patch this morning. Rev. and Mrs. J. R. Walker left last Saturday to be absent two months attending the World's In ter-Denominational Sunday School convention which is to be held in Switzerland. The large harvest of oats will cause every old threshing machine in the county to be resurrected. Un less competition becomes too sharp, there will be some profit in opera ting a th res h er J th is year. Messrs. B. F. Zimmerman, D. 0. Albert and R. M. Scurry returned from Atlanta Saturday. They at tended a convention of oil mill sup erintendents which waa held there during the week. The cold snap drove the straw hats, ice cream signs, peek-a-boo shirt waists and short sleeves into their places of hiding, and over coats, gloves, hot drinks, etc., have taken their places. Miss Annie Quarles. the daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Quarles, came home Sunday afternoon from the hospital in Augusta where she recently underwent an operation for appendicitis. While not entirely weil, she is steadily improving. The railroads are arranging for a heavy passenger traffic northward for the summer, but unless there is a considerable change in ythe tem perature, the mountaineers will come to Edgefield instead of Edge field people going to the niountainc. The mercury dropped lower Mon day night aud Tuesday than ever before in this section in June. There is no record of a lower temperature at this season in the past. The winds have been ^whistling and (he fires roaring as if it wyre January in stead of June. Mri. W. L. Dunovant and Mr?. George F. Mims attended the funer al of their uncle, Mr. Hugh F. Buist, which was held in Greenville Saturday. Mrs. Douorant returned Monday and Mrs. Mirna went to Moore, Spartanburg eoanty, to vis it her brother, Mr. Baiat Aaderaoa. ! Cupid says it is too unseasonable ?for orange blossoms in Edgefield ! this June. That possibly accounts for the fact that he has been con centrating his forces elsewhere. The extremely critijal condition of Mr. W. W. Adams has cas* a gloom over the entire community. Our people are greatly depressed jun account of his hopeless condi | tion. * The Advertiser has just a few bushels of Iron peas for sale at the market price. We find that we i bought several bushels more than we need. We always have to buy seed as we can never have any pick ed in town. j What will you do with the vast acres from which you have just har vested oats? Before thirty days pass have another growing crop on th?? land-eith?r peas or corn. Western corn and hay may be higher next spring than last. If those people in Augusta who are conducting an excursion to Jacksonville this week had announc ed that the cold wave was headed this way, they would have had practically all of Edgefield on their trains bound for Florida. Time hangs heavy on the hands of the soda water clerks. But we rather suspect that they miss the smiles of the young ladies more than they do the nickels and dimes that flow into the coffers of the pro prietors during hot weather. Little Eleanor Mime, the eight year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Mime, gave a birthday party Friday afternoon. She invited the members of her class at school dur ing the past session to be her guests. After the guests were surfeited on games and outdoor sport refresh ments were served. The people of Edgefield are grate ful to the Southern railroad for the splendid passenger schedule that is now maintained. ^01 only is tho time of the departures and arrivals of the three trains a day each way convenient, but the trains usually make the schedules promptly. Very soon the work of remodel ling the college building will begin. The interior will be changed to suit the needs of the High School. Edgefield will have one of the best equipments in the stat? for a High School and there is no good reason why we ean not also ~h?ve a school that will be second to none. The intelligence of the death of Rev. Whitefoid McKendree Dun can, presiding elder of the Colum bia district of the Methodist church, caused much genuine sorrow among his friends in Edgefield. He died at his home in Columbia Monday morning and was buried in the graveyard of the Washington street church of that city. Miss Mamie Dunevent has been eciployed to teach in the Williston High School. She made a splendid record at Winthrop during the en tire four years and graduated wi tfc honois last week. The trustees of the High School at Willistou aro fortunate in being able to secure her.Three of Miss Dunovant'? class mates will also teach in the school with her. No better buggy nqade than the Brockway. Have you ever used one? Let us Dhow you our stock. Wilson & Cantelou. With Large Railroad Contrac tor. Our young friend Afred Covar, eldeBt son of Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Covar, holds a responsible position with Mr. W. M. Spencer, a laige railroad contractor of Excelsior Springs, Mo. Several days ago the writer received a letter from Al fred requesting us to give him some information concerning the pro posed electric road from Augusta to Columbia. Possibly Edgefield can induce Alfred and Mr. Spencer to build ns a road from here to Greenwood on credit. Southern Railway Schedule Changes. Effective Sunday, May 25, 1913, the Southern Railway announces the following schedule changes. Train 23*2 from Aiken, arrive Edgefield 4:45 p. m., instead of 5:40 p. m. as at present. Train No. 20 will leave Trenton 7:15 p. m. instead vf 5:20 p. m. as at pres ent, affording connection to Colum bia leaving Edgefield on No. 207 at 6:50 p. m. A. H. Acker, TP A, Augusta, Ga. Will Seek Ocular Corroboration. As soon as a favorable opportuni ty is presented The Advertiser man will hie himself away to Samter county to inspect in person tho 200 acre pond of Capt. R. B. Cain, that aquatic Mecca of the Edgefield dis ciples of Isaac Walton, who upon their return rela:e fish stories with out any compunction of conscience that eclipse Jonah's swallowing tue whale. In order to protect their reputation for veracity we are go ing in search of ocular corrobora tion. Annual County Home Picnic. On Tuesday of this week, the Edgefield County Woman's Chris tian Temperance Union held the annual picnic in commemoration of the life of Jennie Casseday, the originator of the Flower Mission. For a number of years the W. C. T. U. has observed this day, and on Tuesday there were representa tive? from Philippi, Harmon}', Johnston, Edgefield and Colliers unions. Each brought an abun dant supply of delightful eatables, and on a long table prepared by Mr. Scurry, boxc- were filled with chicken, meats of all kinds, salads, cakes and pies, and bent to the va rious homes where dwelt the seven teen inmates of the county home. Each one had also a gift presented with their box, something that they each most desired. Although it was June the 10th, the weather was as cold as Decem ber and all who went, were almost convinced that it was a Christmas visit instead of the flowery month of Juue. Mr. and Mrs. Scurry had made ready alor all in the most acceptable way, by having a roaring fire, around which a large circle gathered and planned tor the serving of the dinner. Coffee was served by Mr. and Mrs. Scurry to all who partook of the picnic dinner. After everybody had been served at the home and all the visitors, a large box of eatables was given to Mr. Edmunds for the chaiegang and six boxes to the jail. A religious service was held at the chapel, over which Mr. Walter Smith of the Harmony community presided most acceptably, music and the reading of the scriptures, and a short talk by Mr. Smith com posed the service.
