The Yonce Motor Company calls attention this week to the importance of having your Ford car properly looked after, by mechanics who make a study of Ford machines. Mr. Yonce ?has in his employment a mechanic who was trained in the Ford factory, consequently he is in a position to give Ford cars and trucks the best possible attention. What can be bet ter than having your Ford car repair ed with genuine Ford parts by a Ford-trained mechanic? That is real Ford service from start to finish. The Yonce Motor Company sells the Has sler Shock Absorbers that are sold with ten days' trial free. Wires Damaged by Falling Trees. For the first time since the elec tric light plant was installed the ser vice was stopped Tuesday morning about eleven o'clock by damage to the wires by trees being blown across them. Superintendent Hading and his assistants got busy at once and re paired the damage, turning on the current again about six o'clock Tues day afternoon. However during the time that the plant was out of com mission, The Advertiser had no power and all the machinery in the office, in cluding the linotype machine, was stopped. This accounts for the delay of nearly a day in publishing the pa per this week. STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA County of Edgefield By W. T.

I Baby has left her cradle for the ". happy shore. We were not prepared'! to part from our darling. Like a bolt from a cloudless sky came God's I message "Come." We weep and won- ' der why God took this pure darling from us; so pure, so sweet, just three . months old. Our darling is not dead, ; the star has gone down to rise in par- ? adise, to brighten heaven the more. 1 She now is a bright, shining angel in God's home with no tears in her eyes, no pain and no trouble. Sometime our eyes shall see our darling, that sweet face still in our memory: sometime that dear little hand will beckon to us to come. When the baby angel meets us, as we go to join the happy band, we shall know 'our darling by her shining eyes and face. We can see her now, her sweet i voice floating to us through the calm j air, that whispers "I'm watching for | thee." She is not dead-she no longer needs our poor protection. God Him self doth rule day after day. She is not dead-there is just a night between, and sometime we will see her, she will never be taken from us in heaven. "Consider the lillies of the field how they grow, they toil not, neither do they spin, and yet I say Solomon in all his glory was not ar rayed like ene of these." God has tak en thee to His holy resting place. Her Mama, Carrie M. Bailey. An Old Fault Finder. An irritable and fault finding dis position is often caused by indiges tion. A man with good digestion and bowels that act regularly is usually good natured. When troubled with indigestion or enstipation take Chamberlain's Tablets. They strength en the stomach and enable it to per form its functions naturally. They also cause a gentle movement of the bowels. I First Sunday School Conven tion. Editor The Advertiser: In reading Mrs. Minis' interesting paper, read before the Sunday School convention, it brought to my mind memories of the days that are gone. Forty-nine years ago the Sunday School convention of Edgefield coun ty was organized at Horn's Creek by electing J. P. Mealing as president, Luther Broadus, vice-president and Dr. Pat Adams as secretary. Among the select choir on that oc casion were Capt. Markeri, William Bryan, Hugh Harrison, Will Penn, Dick Bonham, Hammet Teague and some others that I do not now recall. Miss Emma Roper, now Mrs. J. N. Fair, presided at the organ. She is the only one of the ladies and Dr. Teague of the men now on this side of the river as far as I know. The opening address was delivered by D. D. Branson who gave a.history of the Sunday School movement from iti beginning up to that time. Out of eight or ten preachers who were present, not one of them are now liv ing. The Horn's Creek communty at that time was noted for its prosperi ty, hospitality, gallant men and beau tiful women. In thinking over the happy hours spent there in my youth ful days, I can to some extent, sympa thize with, what must have been the state of mind of him who wrote: "I feel as one who walks alone Some banquet hall deserted.'' One must grow (what the world calls) old, in order to realize how fast times change. Of all the hundreds' of people who were present at that first Sunday School convention, you would be surprised to know how few are living to-day. There were no min utes published the first year but the sceond year at Stevens Creek the minutes will show a long list of del egates that are numbered among chose who sing in nobler, sweeter strain, the power of Jesus to save. G. W. MEDLOCK. North Augusta, S. C. Letter From an Edgefield Boy | in Coblenz, Germany. Dear Mr. Minis: I will write you a few lines to let 1,-ou hear from me. I am well and hope you are too. Am still in Coblenz but ;hink I will be back in Edgefield by ;he middle of September. I sure have had a wonderful trip ?ince I left home. Was on two fronts, ;he Meuse- Argonne and St. Mihiel, md believe me, that country was sure torn up. Of course I was not in ;he trenches at all, was a litle behind : ;he lines dishing out c. c. pills and painting the boys with iodine. j I have seen French towns that did ] lot have a house standing at all. A < few rock walls were all that was left, ? and all kinds of dug outs that the i Huns had dug. They did not think i they would ever have to leave them, s but when the Yanks got in after them < they left in a hurry. I have heard the ? big guns bark for 72 hours without < stopping so you know they had to i move. The Germans said it was the Vanks that won the war, but they hate the French and English worse than they do us. You know the English tried to move the Huns from the Verdun front and couldn't do it, so we had a song about them being a bunch of "Yellow Backs." Of course, the Brit ish navy took a great part in winning the war-so did their anny-but the Tommies could not fight like the Yanks, I have the Germans' and Frenchmen's words for it. After the armistice was signed I left D-and came back down in France as far as Dijon. Then left there in a Ford and came through Toul and Metz to Coblenz. I have been to the outposts in Germany, about 30 miles further in than Co blenz. I was out there when the peace treaty was signed. We were there ready to go at once, further into Ger many if they had not signed. Guess we would have been in Berlin by now for we were fixed for going if we had to fight our way. But as the trjaty was signed, we wll get home instead and all be happy. I have seen about two-thirds of France and one-third of Germany, but me the U. S. A. for mine all the time. France has lots of pretty girls and some of the boys over here have married a few of them, but I will take an American girl or none at all. Your friend, JAMES M. WALTON.
