Entertained Card Club.
With characteristic elegance and
refinement of taste in planning for
the function, Miss Mae Tompkins
entertained the ladies' card club Sat
urday afternoon, this being the close
of the series of games. There was a
full attendance and the occasion was
one of unusual pleasure. The tables
were decorated with early spring
flowers fresh from the garden, their
beauty and fragrance gave added
pleasure to those who deftly fingered
the cards. At the close of the con
test it was derided that Mrs. John.
Rainsford had made the highest
score during the series of games and
she was awarded the prize. The host
ess served a salad course and hot
drinks.
Mrs. Mathis Writes From "The
Land of Flowers."
(Written for last week.)
Dear Advertiser:
I've been in Florida for the past
eight weeks, the object of my stay
being to try to get relief from that
same distressing asthma, from which
I have so long suffered. Mr. Mathis
came with me and our first
stop was at Jacksonville, where we
were entertained by Mrs. Weibert,
.who was Miss Wise from Aiken. Mr.
Weibert is a "gentleman to the man
or born," rich in this world's goods.
He owns a handsome home in a fash
ionable part of the city, and Mrs.
"Weibert entertains in much style and
elegance.
From Jacksonville we went to Lak"e
City and stopped with Mr. and Mrs.
T. Parker Jordan .another delightful
family, Mr. Jordan being originally
from Abbeville. While here it was
our pleasure to see Mrs. Mattie Jen
nings, who was Miss Jordan and for
merly went to school in Edgefield.
Our next stop was at Mikesville,
{a little village) with Mr. and Mrs.
M. M. Martin, and it is at this place
that my better half has enjoyed such
wonderful sport (hunting) for the
past several winters. This season
was no exception to his former trips,
as some days he killed as many as
seventy-five birds in a day. The Mar
tins are also Edgefield people. Mrs.
Martin will be lovingly remembered
as Miss Bessie Miller of Edgefield,
and Mr. Martin is a direct descendant
of one of the Martin women who dis
tinguished herself in the Revolution
ary war and after whom the Martin
town road is named.
Our objective poif?t was Crescent
City and we reached here six weeks
a|ro, and were soon comfortably in
stalled in the hospitable home of that
whole-souled and popular couple, ?
Mr. and Mrs. J. E. L?rick, who mov
ed here from Trenton about twelve
years ago. They have two beautiful
daughters, Louise and Inez, who
have both married, each choosing
for her life companion, a gentleman
of the highest integrity and splendid '
business qualities.
We haven't felt for a minute like
strangers in a strange land, for here
we found Mr. Howard Mathis and his
family-more Trenton people, and
Mrs. Em Cheatham, formerly of
Edgefield. Mrs. Cheatham owns a per
fectly magnificent home that her I
son, Augustus (known as genial Gus)
built just prior to his death several
years ago. This home cost forty thou
sand dollars-is beautifully equipped j
with all the modern conveniences, ;
and handsomely furnished. We had 1
the pleasure of dining there Sunday
and besides many other guests, there
was present that beloved Mrs. Hattie
Cullum from Batesburg, S. C., and
her attractive daughter who will
spend the remainder of the winter in '
this picturesque town.
For a while we had quite a little
Trenton colony. Besides ourselves,
there were Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Posey
and their children; Mrs. Sallie Mor
rall, whom everybody loves and we
surely missed her presence and deep
interest in us when she left; Mr. and <
Mrs. Marshall Long and Mrs. Emma '<
Hord are also wintering here. Mr. '
Long has purchased a home and a
large orange grove. He has also
bought a beautiful launch which will ]
be christened on Lake Crescent at 1
an early date as the "Lina Hord," in
honor of his lovely young wife. We
are afraid that this popular couple
will eventually make this their per
manent abiding place.
Since we have begun to improve,
we have enjoyed every minute of our
stay here, and while Florida has its
advantages-its fruits and flowers
now are luscious and luxuriant, its
climate unsurpassed, we've begun to
long for our "Carolina Hills," our
Edgefield and Trenton friends and
loved ones and we don't think it will
b elong before we'll be seeing you.

Pepto-Mangan Makes Rich, Red
Blood-Builds Up Pale, Thin
Anemic Men and Women
Good health is the most important
asset of life. Without a vigorous
strong body and a keen, clear mind,
true happiness and enjoyment are
impossible.
And yet so many women and men
too, whose misfortune it is to be pale,
thin and anemic, hopelessly accept
this condition in the belief that ro
bust health and real happiness are
not for them.
Thousands of men and women
have been restored to vigorous health
and lasting by Gude's Pepto-Mangan.
This beneficial blood tonic contains
the very properties so vitally needed
to improve the blood. Pepto-Mangan,
if taken for a few weeks, will enrich
the blood and create thousands of the
tiny red blood cells that are so neces
sary to carry nourishment and
strength to every part of the body.
Be sure to ask your druggist for
"Gude's" when you order Pepto
Mangan. "Gude's" is the genuine
Pepto-Mangan. Look for the name
"Gude's" on the package.-Adv.

Upon These
Arguments We
YOU, the buyers, are the real builders of wagons. You put
the final Okay upon the use of certain materials and con
struction when you buy a wagon containing them-and
refuse to buv a wagon that does not. We want to show you how
the Thornhill Wagon is built. Upon a plain statement of facts
wc are willing to rest our case. We believe the Thornhill way
would be your way if you should build a wagon.
For spokes and axles tough second growth highland hickory is
used For hubs and felloes the sturdy white oak is preferred.
This wood grows upon the mountain side. The ground is hard
the climate severe. It has to fight for life. It has nearly twice
the strength of Oak and hickory that grows under softer condition.;.
Outdoors under shelter it regains for three to five years. The
cap dries in it, giving it a strength tim's kin to steel.
Full Circle Iron
Malleable Front Houn Plate
Trussed Bolsters and
Gears
Long Wear Beds
Bolster* Cant
-Ians In Turning
In turning and backingup, with the ordi
nary circle iron, which is only a half circle,
alsters run off the end of the track and
nang. It is difficult to make short turns and
back up. The Thornhill full circle iron
gives a continuous track on which the bol
sters can turn.
The gears of Thornhill wagons stay in line for
life. Instead of the usual front hound plate,
a hound plate of malleable ii on is used. It is
a metal jacket braced at eight points that
keeps gear:; from ever getting out of linc.
Note the
Adjustable
Brake Lever
On the front bolsters of Thornhill wagons
are heavy iron plates running along top and
bottom-connected by rivets that ron clear
through the bolster. Strength and lightness
are combined. Rear gears are strongly
ironed. There are braces on bodftop and
bottom that extend the full length of the
. hounds.
Solid trust bars extend the full length of the
axles giving them double strength.
If you examine thc beds of Thornhill
Wagons closely you will see at once the
superiority of the construction. The
bottoms are re-inforced over front and
rear bolsters.
Come in and examine this wagon for
yourself. We will take pleasure and
pride in showing you a Thornhill-The
wagon made of tough highland oak and '
hickory-with features all others lacie.
