Office No 61 Residence, No. 1 7 Wednesday, November 6 LOCAL AND PERSONAL. Mr. and Mrs. Julius M. Vann of Trenton were among the visitors in Edgefield Tuesday. These crisp mornings make one feel that the sausage and spare-rib aeson will soon open. Hon. and Mrs. Walter McDonald * of Augusta spent Sunday in Edgefield with Mrs. Agatha A. Woodson. Mrs. T. B. Culbreath, Misses Lu cile and Annie Mae Culbreath, were among visitors in Edgefield Monday Tell your friends about the raising of the County Service Flag at Edge field Friday afternoon, November 15. Julian D. Holstein, Jr., came down from Camp Sevier on a furlough of l?verai days, being very cordially greeted by his friends. A* trio of pretty Meeting Street girls, Miss Mary Lewis and Misses Emma and Margaret Blocker, were visitors in Edgefield yesterday. The many friends of Mr. Ben Ru benstein will be pleased to know he is able to be up after an attack of in fluenza at his home in Augusta. The influenza has kept people so close at home that the newspapers liave little to chronicle by way of the coming and going of people. Grain sowing goes merrily on in every section of the county. We have observed more seed oats shipped to Edgefield this fall than probably ever before. Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Cogburn have two sons in the service. Horace ar rived safely Overseas a short time ago and Paul sailed from an Atlantic port last week. People did not have to vote early to avoid the rush at the polls yester day. Our people are entirely too in different in the matter of voting in the general election. Mr. Willie Salter of Columbia vis ited the home folk last Sunday. He is just up from an attack of influen za. His many friends are delighted that he has recuperated. The Advertiser household had mus tard salad, tomatoes, butter-beans, new-crop Irish potatoes and lettuce from our fall garden yesterday. But our hens never lay an egg. 1 Three Edgefield boys who volun teered for Naval service, Albert Cheatham, George Broadwater and Roy Ryan, are up from Charleston on a furlough of a few days. Will you be satisfied to do just a bit for our boys at the front when you are approached for a contribu tion to the United War Work Fund? DO YOUR BEST, not your bit. J. T. McManus, Jr., who is at home .n a furlough, entertained his friend^ last week with an ever-interesting hallowe'en party which was greatly ?njoyed by all the young people. Corporals Cephas Posey Derrick, George C. Craig and Private Law rence Lott of Camp Jackson spent last week-end with friends and rela tives in the Philippi community. After the harvesting season closes it is a mighty good time to have some deep fall plowing done. Just how much should, be done depends upon the character of the land one culti vates. Since cotton dropped so low, the sale has practically stopped, which is as it should be. The public square has been almost as free of cotton the past few days as it is during the month of August. The many friends of Mrs. T. A. Hightower will be glad to learn that she is now steadily improving at the Steedly hospital in Spartanburg. It is hoped that she will soon be suffi ciently strong to return home. The heavy rush of ginning is prac tically over in this neck of the woods. Instead of running until the small hours of the night, the gins are idle much of the time. Watch for a heavy falling off of the gin figures in the next report. The corn crop has been very fine throughout Edgefield county this year. You hear a greater number of farmers than usual say, "I have made enough corn to do me." Quite a number say they will have corn to sell. While nearly evat* htf?e ia Edge field has been visited by influenae, we should all devoutly give thanks that there were but few cases of se rious illness. Edgefield has been pe culiarly blessed daring the influenza scourge. There are more eetton seed on the' farms of Edgefield county HOW than there has been for twenty years dur ing November. The price-fixing has almost stopped tho sale. However, be fore planting time most of them will find their way to market. Mrs. Manly Timmons, Manly Sim mons, Jr., and little Jeanette Tim mons have gone to Winterseat to spend several weeks. It is probable that Dr. Manly Timmons will return with them and locate permanently in Edgefield. Send The Advertiser the letter* you receive from our soldier boys. The relatives and friends bf the boys in all parts of the county enjoy read ing them. The Advertiser cheerfully gives space to them-will devote a page every week if necessary. Probably the most inspiring e&ea sion ever held in Edgefield will be the raising of the County Service Flag on the public square the afternoon of November 15. The flag will contain a star for every Edgefield county boy in the naval and military servie*. In the list of Liberty Bond sub scribers through the Farmers bank, as published in The Advertiser, the following: names were inadvertently omitted: Mr. M. B. Byrd, $500; Mr. L. H. Hamilton, $500, and Mr. F. P. Walker, $200, A. Daitch $200, and C. M. Williams, $100. Mrs. D. T. Mathis, Jr., carno home from her school at Pacolet^and spent several days with her father and sisters at Ropers. Miss Emmie Lan ham went up to Pacolet to nurse Mrs. Mathis who had a case of influenza. She has sufficiently improved to re turn to her school this week. The autumn vacation, due to the closing of the school to head-off the influenza, has enabled many children to aid in harvesting the cotton crop. The Advertiser children have packed about a bale and put their money every week-end in thrift and war savings stamps. The children are ap prehensive lest there be no more thrift stamps after the war: Carroll Rainsford, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas H. Rainsford, who has been attending the Citadel has volunteered for military service and will the latter part of November be sent by the local board to the infan try officers' training school at Camp Fremont, California. Carroll is only 18 years of age, and his acceptance for the officers' training school by the Provost Marshal General is a de cided compliment to him. He has made an excellent record at the Citadel. About Croup. If your children are subject to croup, or if you have reason to fear their being attacked by that disease, you should procure a bottle of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy and study the directions for use, so that in case of an attack you will know exactly what course to pursue. This is a fav orite and very successful remedy for croup, and it is important that you observe the directions carefully. - Adv.

The Community Cen ters of the Washington Public Schools hold dances in the centrally (located school houses nightly for the entertainment of the girls and men in the service.

Sleep, thou little child of sorrows, War's harsh din fright not thine ear; Sleep, and dream of happier morrows, Rest thine heart and feel no fear. Bends thy mother's angel 'bove thee, Leans thy father's spirit near; France, thy Mother-Land, will love thee, She'll defend thee, baby dear. Sorrow's child, did f oemen wrest thee From the breast, serene and sweet, Where a mother's love would nest thee; O'er a heart which for thee beat? Sleep, thy Mother France will hold thee; Sleep, for other loving arms Shall with tenderness enfold thee; Shield thee safe from war's alarms. Now the sun sinks to its setting; Shadows slant across the sky. Dream, sweet child, in sleep forget ting War's grim specter. Lullaby! Rises o'er thy birth-land stricken Hope's clear, shining star of light. Sleep, no shadows 'round thee thicken ; Wake to day-dawn, blest and bright. ^L. L. F. are taking in the movement.
