Every farmer is having his Field Day now-from sun to sun. Nothing safer than'.i Government bond. Instead of "gilt-edge," it is gold all over. Fire-stricken Atlanta and storm stricken illinois can now more deeply sympathize with war-stricken Belgium. The people of Berlin, Wisconsin, who are patri?t?c and loyal to the core, are ashamed of the name and are taking step3 to have an Indian name substituted for "Berlin." Send in your registration fee for your car and thus do your bit toward highway building. An exchange says, the acid test for a pi?. : v' woman is to see her in a day coach at 12o'clock at night. Another, is to see her in the kitchen on a July day just before the first call for din ner. The Buy-a-Bond movement should advance with accelerated velocity. The great war will require billions and the best way to raise the billions is to issue bonds. Let there be no slackers in Edgefield | county. Every man, white and color ed, between 21 and 30, both inclusive, should walk up to the precincts next Tuesday and register like aman-like a true-blue Edgelield man. Flower Mission Meeting.

It is certain that your income will be missed if you are the breadwinner. It is certain that insurance is the only certain "SAFEGUARD" against this uncertainty. It is certain that the Southeastern is the oldest and largest old-line legal reserve company in South Carolina. The Southeastern led the State in 1916 in the production of new busi ness.
