Miss Lillian Smith has arrived from Co'umbia to spend several days at home, her school being tem-, porarily closed on account of the, quarantine against meningitis. There will be a box party at the residence of Mr. M. A. Watson on Friday night, February 15, for j the benefit of the Waycross school. The public is cordially invited. Mr. E. S. Rives is now in New York making large purchases ol' spring merchandise. He is a buyer of large experience and knows how and where to buy to the best advan tage. A cold church curtails attend ance upon public worship. Persons who are seeking an excuse to re main away can easily rind an ex cuse upon this ground-a very good excuse, too. Farmers are so eager to get their fertilizers under the sheller on the farm that they are not wailing for the roads to dry thoroughly. The public square has scores of guano wagons on it this morning. The Edgelield teachers have res ponded to the appeal of President Wilson and Governor Manning and are making a card index of the .?jHesiiouuair?s. They have voiun ?tered for this patriotic service. Mr, Carroll Rainsford who has been making a good record at the Citadel for the past two years spent several days at home last week, ile has gone to Annapolis to study for entrance at the Naval Academy. The coming of Sergt. Flahiff of Canuda for the Lyceum entertain ment is creating considerable inter est. He has been "over the top" in several drives and will give his personal experiences in trench war fare. Unless the roads improve rapidly fertizer hauling will be greatly de layed. Every pound of fertilizer should be hauled to the farm as early as possible, giving the stock a rest period before the plowing begins. Civic League will meet Monday, lith inst., at four o'clock. Each member is urged to attend, as there is business of importance to attend to. The meeting will be at the home of Mrs. R. G. Shannonhouse. Let's greet the young Canadian with a large audience Friday night of next week, thus showing; our pa triotic interest in the cause of the Allies. A small audience will lead him to believe that we are apathetic and lack interest in the war. On account of the severe weather in December and .January, there is more "scattering" cotton in the fields than usual at this season. The prevailing; price will cause every lock to be picked as soon as the weather is favorable. N Mrs. C. W. DeLoach now occu pies tho residence on Columbia street which she recently purchased from Mrs. S. A. M orrall and Mr. and Mrs. P. P. Blalock, Jr., will move into the brick residence near the Methodist church from which Mrs, DeLoach moved. The lyceum entertainment Fridav night of next week will be the most thrilling- and most interesting ever given in Edgefield. A brave young Canadian soldier will bring the trench warfare to us. This learn ing of actual conditions by proxy is the only way that most of us want to learn. The beautiful sunshine of this morning is infusing new life into everything- and everybody. The man^who has grown lazy during the long period of hibernation is stretching: his limbs and feels the blood circulating again. If this favorable weather continues, there will not only be "something doing" but something done in every line of business. False Impression Corrected. ?Some persons are under the im pression that a registrant who has a wife and children should not be given deferred classification by a local board if a relative will,.con tribute to the support of the depen dents should the registrant be drafted for military service. The regulations plainly state that case of dependent wife and children support from other sources should NOT be considered. Classification Completed. The local board has completed the classification of all question naires that have been returned. Some of the colored registrants who have not yet received questionnaires are being located everv day. The board appreciates the co-operation which has been given by a number of citizens over the county in loca ting registrants who seldom receive mail, and for that reason cannot be located by the mail carriers. Up to this time, not including the ques tionnaires that have not been deliv ered to registrants, the board haa placed about 4t?u registrants in class one, this being about 30 per cent. These men will be examined next week. Examinations were com menced last Friday, but owing to the issuing of new regulations for the physical examination, General Crowder telegraphed the local boards to hold up on the examina tions until the new regulations were received. The men who were noti fied to appear for examination last Monday will report next Monday; those who were notified to report to-day will report next Wednesday, [and those who have been notified to report Friday of this week for ex lamination will report Friday of next week. Other registrants will i be ordered to report Tuesday, I Thursday and Saturday of next week also, which will enable the board to examine all of the men in Class I next week. The remainder of the present quota will be ordered out during the live days following February 23. It has not been announced what day Edgefield will mobilize men for Camp Jackson. This county is yet due 102 colored men on its first quota. The local board had this number of men ready for mobilization in October, but they were never ordered out. The men will receive notice what day to re port for mobilization. One solid car of buggies just un loaded and two more on the road from the best factories. B. 13. Jones.

Prominent Veterinarian's Wife Tells of Long Suffering, Despaired of Finding a Cure. TOOK ACID IRON MINERAL AND IS PRAISING IT NOW.
