one of unusual pleasure to those
present.
Mr. W. D. Allen came down from
Chappell and spent Sunday here, be

terly statements of the Bank of

prove his premises and thus contrib
ute to the beauty of the old town?
Mrs. Arthur Childress of Greer,
accompanied by her son, Master
Benjamin Jones, has been spending
several days in Edgefield and vicinity
with relatives.
Miss Grace Brumbaugh, the pub
lic health nurse, has greatly endeared
.herself to many people in Edgefield
whom she has visited recently, prov
ing herself to be indispensable in the
community and in the county.

Betrothal Announced.
Cards containing the following an
nouncement' were received in Edge
field Saturday:
Miss Nelle Braxton Jones
and
Mr. Thomas Lawrence Nicholson
Betrothed.
This announcement which has been
the leading topic of conversation in
Edgefield for the past few days was
not altogether a surprise, as Cupid
does not always effectively conceal
his plans. Miss Nelle Jones came
home from Converse college Sunday,
where she has been engaged in spe
cial work since the opening of the
present session, and will remain here
permanently, or at least until her
marriage to Mr. Nicholson early in
June.
The faculty of Converse compli
mented Miss Nelle with an elaborate
announcement party in the parlors
of the college last week and two
other friends in Spartanburg also
gave delightful social functions in
honor of the' bride-elect.
Mr. Nicholson was reared in Craw
fordville, Indiana, and volunteered
for military service early in the
World War. He was on duty about a
year at Camp Hancock and served
a year overseas. Upon receiving his
discharge from the army Mr. Nichol
son located in Chicago where he is
engaged in the brokerage business.
Edgefield friends of the bride-elect
will eagerly look forward to the con
summation of their plans in June and
in advance extend hearty congratu
lations and cordial good wishes.
For Quick Acceptation.
Galvanized Roofing, $8.50 per
spuare, except 10 and 12 feet lengths
which are 10 cents higher. This is
cheaper than factory prices,

Street Improvement Needed.
If the county launches upon a mod
ern roads building programme the
towns of Johnston, Trenton and
Edgefield will have to look to the
improvement of the streets. Unless
Edgefield gives more attention to
working the streets, the remote ru
ral districts will have better high
ways than will be found almost under
the shadow of the Court House.
Lumber Business Grows.
The lumber business in and around
Edgefield continues to grow and if it
continues many years there will not
be left a tree for a bird to light in.
However, we are not fighting the
lumber interests. They mean too
much to the prosperity of our people.
Preserve the small trees and they
will provide fuel and lumber suffi
cient for coming generations.
Possible Railway Extension.
It has been intimated to Capt. 0.
P. Bright, the secretary of the Cham
ber of Commerce, that if the people
of Edgefield will make the proper
showing.the officials of the Southern
Railroad will extend the road to
Greenwood, giving Edgefield a north
ern outlet to the world. This is Edge
field's greatest need, now that we
have a modern hotel in sight. Let's
put every shoulder to the enterprise
and possibly we can draw the cork
that has had the old town bottled up
for more than thirty years.
Look at Your Label.
There are some of our subscribers
who have neglected to send in their
renewals and we call attention to the
expiration of their subscriptions so
they can rejnit before our list is revis
ed. The Advertiser will never return
to the old system, as the cash in ad
vance plan has met with the approval
of practically all of our subscribers.
All are treated alike and the paper
will be discontinued if not renewed
upon expiration. Look at your label
and renew at once. Unless you do we
shall be forced to stop the paper.
Don't delay. Act NOW.
Ice Manufacturing Plant.
Mr. W. F. McMurrain has com
pleted his ice plant and turned out
his first block of ice Monday. The
capacity is eight tons for a run of
24 hours. This is a new enterprise for
Edgefield and we trust that it will be
altogether successful. We^ confident
ly behove it will. Mr. McMurrain, the
proprietor, is a capaole, energetic
young man who does not stop short
of success in whatever he under
takes. There should be no dearth of
ice henceforth in Edgefield the year
round. Mr. McMurrain can supply
your needs.
W. C. T. U. Meeting.
On Monday afternoon the W. C. T.
U. met with Mrs. W. F. McMurrain
where a very pleasant gathering of
the members occurred. Mrs. J. W.
Peak led in the devotions and the
23rd Psalm was repeated in concert,
all present seeming to know it from
memory.
The study on citizenship was un
usually interesting, led by Mrs. Till
man and Mi's. W. L. Dunovant was
called upon to make some comments,
which she did in her charming en
thusiasm for the cause. Most of those
present were interested in one or
more phases of the discussion and
gave their opinions or asked ques
tions.
An interesting paper on some of
our "Health Problems," written by
Miss Grace Brumbaugh was read.
Year books and budget envelo; ?s
were distributed and some p.ans of
work discussed.
At the close of the program little
Misses Mary and Doothy Marsh serv
ed a very dainty salad course with
iced tea. A beautiful victrola selec
tion furnished music for the occa
sion. Mrs. Chesley Wells was a wel
comed visitor at the meeting.
The April W. C. T. U. will be held
with Mrs. N. M. Jones on April 5,
when Mr. A. B. Carwile has been in
vited to make a talk on the attitude
of the Boy Scout movement towards
the smoking of cigarettes. This ques
tion is beginning to get its share of
discussion at the present time. Kan
sas has declared her intentipn of.
starting the juggernaut in motion
which will crush to atoms the Ameri
can cigarette. Two states, Kansas and
Utah, have already banished the lit
tle white tyrant from their borders.
STRAYED: From my home on the
Gary place, a red sandy sow weigh
ing about 75 pounds. Will pay rea
sonable reward.
