Bear in mind that Dr. W. J. Mc Glothlin will address two meetings at the Baptist church Sunday-11:30 in the forenoon and 3:30 in the af ternoon. Everybody is cordially in vited to both services. The Corner Store calls the atten tion of the ladies to attractive lines of merchandise this week.

Miss Elizabeth Wells came home from Aiken for the week-end and was accompanied by Miss Mary Wood, her school friend. Miss Mattie Saun ders of Edgefield was also a week end visitor in the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Wells. It's unfortunate that field peas are so high and scarce, for our farmers jieed to sow largely of them this spring and early summer. Well, they are not really higher proportionately than other cereals but they seem high. Mr. Bettis Cantelou has received a fresh shipment of mules, which will give farmers an opportunity to in- j crease their horse-power, or rather ! mule-power, / and thereby catch up j when "Old Sol" dries the soil suffi-1 ciently. Rev. G. W. M. Taylor will begin a j revival and prayer service in the ? Methodist church Sunday morning, i March 21, which will last for two weeks. Such a service will be conduct ed in all Southern Methodist church es carrying out their plans in con-, nection with the Centenary Move-, ment. It is with great pleasure that we announce the renewal of the lyceum contract by the members of the Civ ic League for another season. This will provide the highest type of en tertainmen and diversion for our peo ple. It will pay the community well, even if not a single dollar is cleared by the undertaking. Our best com pensation comes frequently in un seen ways. Mr. Rainsford Cantelou is here visiting his parents,' Mr. ?and Mrs. J. R. Cantelou. He is serving as phar macist for the leading drug store of Hartsville. The Advertiser would like t^o see at least one hundred homes freshly painted in Edgefield this spring. Make a start now and then your neighbor will contract the "painting" fever from you. Dr. C. E. Burts came from Colum bia to attend the Baptist conference to-day but on account of the rain the conference WES postponed. An an nouncement of the exact date will be made later. j Already people are asking when 'water will be turned on in Edgefield hemes. If the water and sewerage systems are as satisfactory as the electric light system has been, there ?will be but little ground for com plaint. I \ Mr. B. B. Jones has sold the two ?lots between the residences of Mr. 'j. W. Morgan and Mr. L. P. Smith ;one to Mr. W. W. Fuller and the ' other to Mr. E. C. Asbill. These gen tlemen will soon begin the erection' ?of modern residences thereon. Mr. M. A. Taylor, who? has been serving the Edgefield public faithful ly for more than twenty years says he expects to continue in the ice bus iness and will be ready at all times to supply the needs of the people, both town and rural districts. We are very grateful to the sub scribers who are responding to our request last week. Unless your sub scription is paid in advance, the pa per will be stopped. Look at your la bel and? see how your subscription stands. On Wednesday night, April 2, the last lyceum entertainment of the season will be held in the Opera House. Mr. Booth Lowery, the cele brated humorist and lecturer, will edify and entertain the Edgefield people on that occasion. He is one of the foremost platform speakers of the day. "All For Edgefield; Edgefield For All." By sending heavy rains that keep the soil too wet to prepare for plant ing, the weather man is befriending the weevil. Better not over plant. More will be made upon a small acreage well prepared, well fertilized and well cultivated than from a large acreage that only receives a "lick and a promise" by way of cultivation. Mr. A. S. Tompkins has returned from a 'business trip to Charlotte and also a visit to his son and daughter in Columbia. It used to be said of Mr. Tompkins that his love for his child hood home at Meeting Street made all roads lead that way for him, but lately his path seems to diverge in Columbia where two of his best be loved children live. The subject for the program was noted suffragists, Jane Addams, of Hull House, a paper prepared by Mrs. Cantelou, another on Charlotte Per kins Gillman, whose cradle in her in fancy was sold to pay her mother's taxes when she refused to pay them without representation. The last was a sketch of Susan B. Anthony, which was prepared by Mrs. W. L. Duno vant and was published in Sunday's STRAYED: From my home Tues day afternoon, a light brown Jersey cow, above the average size. Had halter on when last seen. Any infor mation will be appreciated.
