Wednesday, October 1. LOCAL AND PERSONAL, Miss Josie Sheppard has entered upon her duties as a teacher in a graded school at Ward. Misses Elizabeth and Jnne Rains ford returned to Columbia last Wed nesday to resume their studies at the College for Women. Miss Lillian Deas, a charming young lady from Augusta, was the guest of Miss Grace Dobson several days last week. Dr. F. Percy Byrd came over from Batesburg and spent Sunday here with his brothers, Mr. W. A. Byrd and Dr. J. S. Byrd. Some days now cotton wagons are almost as numerous on the public square as fertilizer wagons were in the spring. Mr. J. S. Smith is at home again after spending long enough in Washington to get the Wilson ad ministration started off properly. * Miss Pauline Byrd will leave Fri day for Laurens to teach foi the en suing session the same school she taught last year. \Ber services as teacher gave entire satisfaction. Another evidence of the increas ' ing popularity of the Edgefield cot ton market is found in the receipts here last week. The cotton weigher's figures went up by leaps and bounds. Mr. Jesse F. Ouzts, the efficient jianager of the big store at Ouzts . ville, was in Edgefield OB business Saturday. Every fall he &elle a i.Tge quantity of cotton feeed to th' r" here and then makes heavy purr- ! chases of mc:.1 and hulls. t The Advertiser inadvertently overlooked last week the return of Mr. Francis Sheppard to The Cita del. Mr. Ira Armfield, a hand some young brother of Mr. Roy i Armfield, came by Edgefield while en route to Charleston to enter open his junior year at The Citadel. Mr. Julian Key came over from Columbia and spent the week-end ^"here with his parents. Mr. and Mrs. *~ C. H. Key. We are inclined to the belief, however, that the parental : i . roof ?6 not the sole attraction ;in Edgefield for this exemplary young man. But who can blame him? Doesn't it make a farmer smile to receive around ?80 for a bale of cot- < ton and the seed from the bale. But i who can blame him? It makes the i merchants and doctors smile about ] as broadly as it does the farmer. The < more cash farmers receive, the more 1 others in turn receive. < Miss Sophie Lowrey, of Edgefield, < S. C., arrived in Buchanan Sunday, and will be found in the millinery department at Strickland Bros, at which place she made such a suc cess last season. She would be pleas ed to have her friends cal! upon her , at that place,-Buchanan (Ga) t Tribune. Who said Mrs. Pankhurst will be ] invited to attend the state conven tion of the Daughters of the Con- ! federacyr If she is coming, the Daughters' must let the editor of 1 The Advertiser know in advance so 1 he can leave tewn or take the pre- j caution to increase hi? life and ?fire insurance. 1 ' i That new depot must be open to receive the Daughters of the Con federacy who will attend the con vention from all parts of the state. Unless the passenger accommoda tions are good at the time the con vention is filed, the hundred and more ladies will go away with a very unfavorable impression of Edgefield,and who can blame them? In this issue will be an announce ment of the fall opening of the Johnston Millinery Store which is conducted at Johnston by Mrs. M. E. Norris. She has made large pur chases of fall hats and trimmings and invites the ladies of every part of the county to call at Johnston Millinery Store and inspect the sty lish fall millinery which is now on display. Merchants should not worry be cause business has not opened as briskly as 13 or 14 cents cotton led them to expect. The cotton which has been sold haB for the mest part been used to pay some pressing ob ligations, which means that later cotton will be spent for household necessities that are sold in the stores. The baaks and fertilizer dealers are -having their day now and the mer chants1 day will come later. State Treasurer S.. T. Carter, of Columbia, visited relatives in Edge field and vicinity Friday and Sat urday. The Edgefield Rifles will bold regular semi-monthly meetings the 1st and 2nd Tuesday nights at 8:30 o'clock. Mr. Walter L. Holston has mov ed his family from the Addison building near the Baptist church into the Charlton residence on Main street. Mr. Herbert Geiger of Calhouu county has been in Edgefield sev eral days on business, spending the time while here with his innt, Mrs. Mary J. Norris. Little Ruth Pani, accompaied by her grandmother, Mrs. Geo. Hub bard, spent several days in Augusta last week. Hon. J. C. Sheppard spent Satur day and Sunday in Asheville with bis son, J. C. Sheppard, Jr., whose health, we are delighted to report, is steadily improving. The public cotton weigher at Edgefield averaged weighing more than 100 bale6 of cotton for each day last week. The cotton is coming this way. The Charleston presbytery will con rene in the Edgefield Presbyte rian church next Tuesday night and continue in session two days. Edge field will extend all delagates a very cordial welcome.^ Miss Nannie Gunter of Bates-1 burg and Miss Letitia Fairy of St. ' George, are guests of Mrs. B. B. Jones. These young ladies have visited in Edgefield before and have many friends who always greet them most cordially. Mr. Luther G. Quarks still holds the championship for growing the finest popcorn ?D the county. He brought The Advertiser a dozen or more stalks last week that were heavily laden with well developed ears. One hill of com alone, more properly one grain of eora, produc ed 10 ea^s. No better buggy made than the Brookway. Have you ever used one? Let ns show you our stock. Wilson &-Cantal o u.

We take this means of thanking Dur friends and neighbors for the nany kindnesses bestowed during ;he late illness of our mother, Mrs. r Hattie Lanham. Words can not c ;xpres6 the gratitude which we j lave in our hearts. We hope somp Jay to be able to give expression to >ur appreciation by bestowing kind iess in return. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Dorn. ] Rural Telephone Lines. Edgefield county is backward in ? :he matter of establishing farmers' *] telephone lines. While there are ( several lines in the county a :hat are satisfactory and prove to oe a great blesuing to the owners jf telephones, yet there are a num ber of communities that greatly need telephone connection with c ?ear-by towns and with adjoining c rural communities. The Advertiser "? has been informed that the South- J ern Bell t Telephone Company will i soon take up the matter of con- 1 structing rural lines in this county. ? We trust that scores of farmers will ] take this progressive, step, It means ( much, both socially and in a busi- i ness way, for rural homeB to be con- i nected with their neighbors and with the market. Let's all work to the end that a number of lines be constructed over the county. Woman's Christian Temper- ; ance. Monday, October 6, 1918, at the I home of Mrs. W. A. Byrd at 4 o'clock.

Steel labored faithfully in Edge field, closing tbe special services at the Methodist church Friday night. It is generally believed .that in ad dition to the increase in the church membership his efforts will result in lasting good to the community. There have been four' additions to the Methodist church by letter and fiye by experience as a result of the meeting. ? Death of a Christian Woman. Withont a sigh, withont a pain and without a murmur, Mrs. Hattie E. Lanham passed away early Sun day morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. W. H; Dorn.. For more than a year her health had been steadily failing. Hoping that a change would be beneficial, eight months ago she went to Medina, Ohio, and visited her son, Mr. T. J?. Lanham, returning two weeks ago. Instead of improving while away from Edgefield she Bteadily grew weaker. After coming back home ber condition soon became more acute, medical skill and the most devoted ministrations of loved ones failing to stay the malady. For many years Mrs. Lanham has been an angel of mercy in Edge field. Her comforting presence was always found in the sick room whenever she was needed. This was especially true during her younger and more active years. She was a consistent Christian, having been a member of the Baptist church from early life. Her memory will live long in Edgefield and in the Anti och community, where she was reared, because of her kindly, sym pathetic nature and because of her readiness to serve others. Before her marriage to Mr. T. J. Lanham who died about 20 years i go, Mrs. Lanham was Miss Hattie Ed i ms. She leaves two daughter?, Mrs. W. H. Dorn and Mr?. X "P. Nixon, and one son, Mr. T. B. Lanham, one brother, Mr. J. T. Mims, one half-sister, Mrs. J. B. &dams, and one half-brother, Mr. M. A. Miras. The burial took place Sunday af :efnoon, the funeral service being conducted by Dr. M. D. Jeffries. _j" '_L Religious Notices. Rally day last Sunday at the Methodist church was a great suc jess. About 20 new Sunday school nerabers were added. The school is crowing in good work also.
