In Northern Markets. Mr. W. H. Tamer left for New York Friday to make his fall pur chases for the Comer Store. For a number of years it has been his cus tom to go to market early in order to get the first of the season's offer ings and to get io on the bottom prices. Miss Kate Samuel who will have charge of the millinery de partment of the Corner Store as heretofore has also gone to New York to study the late styles and to assist in purchasing: the fall mil linery. ' Back From Europe. Rev. and Mrs. J. R. Walker .reached Edgefield Satui day night after a very pleasant sojourn of several months abroad. On their re turn voyage they reached Montreal August 6 and spent two days off the great lakes, one day on the Hudson and several days in New York city. They have had an exceedingly pleas ant and profitable trip, some phases of which were presented to The Ad vertiser's readers in several inter esting letters which Mr. Walker wrote. They have bejn very affec tionately greeted by their Edge field friends since their return. Death of Mrs. Arthur Webb On last Saturday afternoon Mrs. Arthur Webb passed away at her home near Trenton, having: been vseriously ill only two or three days. For the past year she has not been strong but her friends and loved ones were not anxious about her condition until the few days pre ceding her death. Mrs. Webb is survived by a devoted husband and three children, Cornelius, Roy and Albert, the youngest being a babe ?of nine months of age. The inter ment took place at Ebenezer. Mrs. Webb was a devout Chris tian woman whose life io her .church and community was a force for all that was good and ennobling. She took active interest in the Sun day school and in every department of the church. Her untimely death leaves a vacancy that will not be easily filled- Our sympathy goes out to the bereaved husband and little ones. Large Fa mily Re-union. The term "finally re union'' car ries with it a peculiar sentiment, and anyone who has been present on such occasions might well won der why there are not more of them. Every family, large or small, must in the natural course of events be separated, each member going his or her way to fiil some particular sphere in life. On August 6th the family of Mrs. SallL D. Cheath3m met al the home of Mr. W. E. Sheppard to celebrate her eighty-second birthday. There they were, more than sixty, repre senting four generations, and it would be hard to find a happier j ?fathering. From early morning till noon they came from Green wood, Abbeville and Edgefield counties, each one filled with a spirit of gladness. And there in the seat of honor was Aunt Sallie look ing with pride upon these children, grand-children and great-grand children, feeling, as she might well do, that truly she has done her pan in the making of a state and coun try. May she have many more birth days, and may each one be just as .happy as this one. A Guest. Death of a Child. A dark gloom was cast over the home of Mr. and Mr?. Will Free land Monday August ll, 1913, when death claimed little Mary Ellen their youngest daughter, age 4 years. She was a bright little child and loved by all who knew her. The sympathy of our communi ty is extended to Mr. and Mrs. Freeland and family in their great bereavement. Sad hearts are breaking this bright sunny day, For God called little Ellen and took her away. An innocent darling with soul pure and sweet. Our dear ltttle child in heaven we'll meet. O while you were with us, we loved you so well, But now you have left us no more to dwell. The birds were all singing their praises so well, And with nature were singing a soft funeral knell. Though our hearts break with sor row, and fast fall the tears, We would not call you back dear, you are free from earth's fears. So good-bye little Ellen with your burden of love. Someday may .we greet you iii heaven above.- ' A . Friend. Notice to Music Pupils. I desire to give notice that I will begin my music clas? the third week in September. Mrs. John R. Tompkins. Edgefield, S. C. Greatly Encouraged. Col. F. N. K. Bailey has been in Edgefield several days looking after certain business matters. He is greatly pleased with the outlook for the B. M. I. for the approaching session. Already more rooms have been assigned to young men than were assigned at this season to both young?men and young ladies in the S. C. C. L Col. Bailey is confident that every available room in the building will be engaged by the time the opening day arrives. There ought to be a number of young men from this county to at tend the Bailey Military Institute. Cortright Metal Shingles. The use of metal for covering residences and other building has steadily increased in this section, the Cortright metal shingles lead ing all others for covering resi dences. These reliable shingles are sold in this territory by Messrs. Stewart & Kernaghan, the popular hardware dealers. Among farmers who are now covering their resi dence with Cortright shingles are J. N. Fair, Abner Broadwater and W. F. West. Thus it is seen that Cortright shingles are popular in the rural districts as well as in the towns. Sheriff and His Deputy "Doing Good Work Since farm work has grown light er the evil doers seem to be unusual ly active, but Sheriff Sweanngeu and his deputy, Mr. J. E. Mims, are giving them a hot chase. Within the past week or more they have seized several gallons of whiskey from Joe Oliohant and his son, Charlie ?Oliphant, and also from Charlie Diggs. Charlie Oliphant has been tried and was sent to the public road for thirty days. Joe 0" phant and Charlie Diggs will likely follow him to the gang when they are tried within the next few days. Last Sunday Mr. J. E. Mims, ac companied by Mr. H. C. Watson, went out to Pleasant Grove, a ne gro church near Mr. D. B. Hollings worth^, to see that proper order was observed. During the day they arrested Geoge Abney, a vicious ne gro who lives in the Harmony sec tion, forfeiting whiskey. The negro resisted the officers and would have fired upon them had he been armed. He was brought to jail and was re leased on bond Monday. Later he will answer to the charges of selling whiskey and resisting an officer. Pretty Entertainment by Local Talent, Sept. 2.

Mrs. Sbannonhouse's beautiful voice is always appreciated in Edgefield and a treat is in store for all those who attend. The next on program will be the Sextette from Flora Dora sung by six young ladies and six young men. This will be very attractive and will be sure to bring an encore.

Miller, ) United States Civil-Service Examination, Rural Carrier. At Edgefield, S. C., for Edgefield County, Saturday, September 13, 1913. , The United State9 Civil Service Commission announces an open competitive examination on the date and at the places named above, as a result of which it ?9 expected to make cprtification to fill a vacan cy in the position of rural carrier at Meeting Street, S. C., and other vacancies as they may occur on n. ral routes at post offices in the above-named county, unless it is found to -ie in the interest of the service tn till any vacancy by rein statement, transfer, or promotion. The usual enlrauee salary for rural carriers is from $630 to $1,100 per annum. Age, 18 to 55, on the date of the examination. The maximum age is waived in cases of ptrsons honor ably discharged from the United States military or uaval service. An applicant must have his actu al domicile in the territory supplied by a post office in the county for which the examination is announced. The examination is open to all male citizens of the United States who can comply with the require ments. Application Form 1341, and full information, concerning the re quirements of the examination, can be secured from the secretary of the local examining board or the post master at any of places named above, or from the U. S. Civil Service Commission, Washington, D. C. Eligibles on registers established prior to March 1, 1912, can be con sidered for appointment only at the office for which they were examin ed. Suoh eligibles may be examin ed within one year from the date of their former examinations upon filing applications showing that they meet the requirements of the new examination, their old eligibility for their home offices not being canceled. Applications should be properly executed and filed with the Commis sion at Washington. As examina tion papers are shipped direct from the Commission to the places of examination, it is necessary that applications be received in ample time to arrange for the examina tion desired at the place indicated by the applicant. The Commission will therefore arrange to examine any application that is received in time to permit the shipment of the necessary papers. An eligible register for the po ition of rural letter carrier for each county will be maintainod. A person must be examined in the county in which the post office that supplies his home is situated. As a result of such examination he may become eligible to appointment as rural carrier at any post office in such county. A rural letter carrier after one year's satisfactory service may be transfered to the position of clerk or carrier in a first or sec ond class post office, to the posi tion of railway mail clerk, or to other positions in the classified ser vice, subject to such examination as may be required by the civil-ser vice. John C. Black, President. August 18, 1913. Paint or Not. Paint was never before so high as last year about $2.25 a gallon Devoe and a balf'doller less for trash. What is trash? It looks like paint and pretends to be paint, but isn't worth paint ing. It costs a painter's day's work to put on a gallon of paint, good or bad; and a painter's day's work is $3 or $4. Add that to the price of a gallon. That is the cost of a "gallon. Devoe is $5 or $6 a gallon; and trash a half-dollar less. But Devoe is all paint and more too; you add oil to it; a gallon is 5 or 6 quarts of perfect paint for the painter's pot. But trash is three quarters two-thirds or half paint; you pay a half dollar less for no body-knows- what-it-is. 10 gallons Devoe is enough for the average job; it takes 13 to 20 gallons of trash. And the wear same way. Unfortunately, they look alike when first put on. Stewart & Ker naghan sells it. Costly Treatment. "I was troubled with constipa tion and indigestion and spent hun dreds of dollars for medicine and treatment," writes C H Hines, of Whitlow, Ark. I went to a St. Louis hospital, also to a hospital in New Orleans, but no cure was effected. On returning home I be gan taking Chamberlain's Tablets, and worked right along, I used them for some time and am now all right." Sold by ali dealers. . (Formerly the S. C. C. I. of Edgefield, S. C.)
