According to reports that are re ceived in Edgefield, there is a greater quantity of damaged cotton this year than usual. The prolonged rains kept the bales from drying and the water penetrated to a considerable depth. The new merchandise which Mr. W. H. Turner and Miss Kate Samuel recently purchased in New York is daily arriving at the Corner Store. The entire stock of spring goods will soon be displaved. Mr. E. S. Rives made a trip to northern and eastern markets last week, purchasing the newest and best of everything for the natrons of his popular store. Watch for his an nouncement in The Advertiser. The universal opinion is that many years have passed since farm work in every section was as backward at this season as it is this year. Unless the rains hold up for several weeks, j the cotton acreage will be reduced in j spite of the farmers themselves. Our genial friend George Swearing gen expressed the wish a short time I ago that the rains continue until the first of June, so a big crop of cotton could not be planted. It appears that ?his wish will be granted and the cot ton acreage reduced. Mrs. Eva Ouzts received a tele gram this morning from the War De partment stating that her son, Percy W. Ouzts, was buried on July 26, 1918. A letter giving full particulars will follow. A fuller statement will be made next week.

Aiken Village Flayers. When the Edgefield public learn that the Aiken Village Players are corning over to Edgefield on Friday evening for another of their splendid entertainments, we feel sure the Opera House will be full of people to greet them on their second visit. Since the people have been unable for so long a time to indulge in a pleasurable and profitable evening to gether, they will greet this opportu nity eagerly. Parsonage to be Built. As about $4,000 has been sub scribed above the indebtedness on the Baptist church, this sum will be applied to the erection of a parson age, the matter having been placed in the hands of the following commit tee, Rev. R. G. Lee, B. B. Jones, Ab ner Broadwater and Bettis Cantelou. A lot will be purchased and actual work upon the building will doubtless be commenced as soon as the materi al can be secured. The enterprise is in the hands of a good committee and it is safe to say that it will be well done. Mrs. Timmerman Entertained. Mrs. W. R. Timmerman entertain ed with a delightful spend-thc-day party last Tuesday. The fortunate guests were Mesdames Emma Fair, Sadie Hill, Tunie Mayson, Maria Rainsford, Sabrina Cheatham and Miss Fannie Sullivan. As we sat and listened to the con versation of the day we realized we were in the midst of the past, present and future. The elderly ladies spoke of the dear old by-gone days, then the present happenings and the cute little sayings of little Misses Sadie Hill Rainsford and Lula Carswell Timmerman brought glimpses of the future. As the clock struck five, we real ized that all things have an ending so wc regretfully bade adieu to our kind hostess buty taking with us many pleasant memories of the day. Unoin Meeting.
