The Edgefield graded and high schools will not close this .year until early in June, the session of 1914 15 being the longest we have yet had. The money spent for the street sprinkler is the best investment that the town ever made. Automobiles even can not now "kick up" a dust on the streets of Edgefield. Do not let the rise in the price of cotton cause you to plant more, than you planned for early in the year. The staple may drop to six cents by the harvesting of the crop of 1915.

( Bishop Guerry Coming The announcement that Bishop Guerry will visit this parish is al ways received with joy and gladness, irrespective of church affiliation. Large congregations always greet bim.

Making the announcement ot* his coming is all ?hat is necessary. Remember the time, Sunday night in Trenton and Monday night in Edgefield. Sales of Ford Cars Large.

In The Advertiser's columns this week will be found an itemized statement of the funds received for the erection of the handsome new school building in the town of John ston and the statement also shows how the money was paid out. Those who know the personnel of the board of trustees that have had charge of the building and the dis bursing of the funds know that every cent intrusted to them has been wisely spent. They are men who are not only above reproach but they have good sound judg ment and they concentrated their best efforts to the end that the people receive a maximum re turn for their money. Study the re port and you will see what money wa? received and how it was spent. Johnston will never regret the day that the bonds were voted for the new building. It was a good invest ment, one that will bring large re turns-both visible and invisible. Death of Mr. W. S. Covar.

Covar who died at the home of his son, Mr. W. R. Covar, Thursday at noon. Mr. Covar enlisted in the Confederate army at the beginning of the war and served for four years. He went to the front with the first company that was formed in this county. All down through the years he has been loyal to the cause, the events of the var being as fresh in his mind as if they occurred only a month ago. Mr. Covar was a member of the Methodist church and was a regu lar attendant until the weight of years bore heavily upon him. To his pastor, Rev. J. R. Walker who visited him frequently in His last illness, he spok i of his readiness to pass through ,he Valley of the Shadow of Death. Mr. Covar was buried from the Methodist church Friday morning, Rev. J. R. Wal ker being assisted in ?the funeral service by Dr. Jones and Rev. R. G. Shannon h 01 se. Unfurled near the altar of the church was the old time-worn, batt-e-scarred flag which Mr. Covar so bravely carried in the war as color corporal of bis compa ny. He loved the old rlag as tender ly as ie did the members of his home circle, and it was peculiarly fitting thu it should have a place in paying the last tribute to this faith ful and brave Confederate veteran. The interment took place in the village cemetery at noon Friday. Mr. Covar leaves, one son, Mr. W. R. Covar, and two sisters, Mrs. Emeline Cartlidge and Miss Sudie Covar. \ * II i ?
