Pianos Sold
eine
^1
I am authorized by the manufac
turers of the Clarendon Piano to of
fer 200 of these pianos, style 201
and style 210, at $200.00 for the
style 210, and $250.00 for the style
201.
I expect to be in Edgefield during
the week commencing November
27th, and will make the store of
Collett & Mitchell my headquarters,
and will have on hand one of each
of these styles.
These pianos are as good as the
average piano that is sold for from
$300 to $350. Many piano facto
ries pay as much as $50 for adver
tisement for every piano that they
turn out. The Ladies' Home Jour
nal gets $10,000 for the back cover
of one issue. Instead of doing so
much magazine advertising we pro
pose to sell these pianos at reduced
prices to introduce them.
Call and see each of the two styles mentioned and you will be convinced that
such extremely low values cannot be obtained elsewhere.
I give herewith a testimonial received from the Hon. J. E. Swearingen, who is well known to the read
ers of the papers of Edgefield county.
Soliciting a call from you, I remain,
JOHN A. HOLLAND,
The Greenwood Piano Man.
I have examined the Clarendon Piano, and take^pleasure in stating that in my opinion it is a high-class
instrument. The finish and workmanship are excellent. The tone is sweet, full and sustained. The low
price is unusual, and ought to enable many schools and many homes to purchase a good piano.

LAYING CONDITION OF HENS
Physical Indications Are Time of Molt
ing, Color of Shanks and Lobes
and Texture of Comb.
There are four physical indications
of a hen's laying condition, says O.
B. Kent, poultry instructor at Cornell
.university. These are the time of
molting, color of shanks, texture of
comb and color of ear lobe. The first
and third points apply to all breeds,
the others only to those having yellow
shanks and yellow ear lobes.
Good layers molt late and quickly.
If you go through the flock the first
of October and pick out the hens that
are just beginning to molt, or have not
started, you will get most of those
which are laying.
In yellow skin breeds the paleness
of the shanks after a period of laying
ls a good condition of a hen's ca
pacity. Any bird with bright yellow
shanks after a year of laying may be
picked out as a good producer.
OBJECTS OF POULTRY SHOWS
AB a Rule They Are Not Money-Mak
ing Propositio s-Aid Improvement
of Standard Varieties.
Poultry shows are, as a rule, not a
money making proposition. They are
promoted and conducted by organiza
tions composed of poultry fanciers,
^vho are interested in educating the
public in the breeding of purebred
poultry of all standard varieties. The
door receipts help to pay the many
?ash prizes and other trophies offered
to encourage the breeding of better
specimens of the various varieties of
our domesticated fowls. Without these
exhibitions the progress of Improve
ment in the standard varieties would
be reduced to a minimum, and the
poultry raisers be handicapped In their
endeavor to advance the growth of the
pure-bred poultry industry in tbls
country.
SLOAN'S LINIMENT EASES PAIN
Sloan's Liniment is first thought
of mothers for bumps, bruises and
sprains that are continually happen
ing to children. It quickly pene
trates and soothes without rubbing.
Cleaner and more effective than
mussy plasters or ointments. For
rheumatic aches, neuralgia pain and
that grippy soreness after colds,
Sloan's Liniment gives prompt re
lief. Have a bottle handy for
bruises, strains, sprains and all ex
ternal pain. For the thousands
whose work calls them outdoors,
the pains and aches following ex
posure are relieved by Sloan's Lini
ment. At all Druggists, 25c. 1

All the male citizens between the
ages of 21 years and 60 years, except
those exempt by law, are liable to a
poll tax of One Dollar each. A capita
tion tax of 5o cents each is to be paid

The law prescribes that all male citi

years must pay $2.00 commutation tax
or work six days on the public road9.
As this is optional with the individual,
no commutation tax is included in the
