Miss Mary Nicholson came home from Lander College for the week end. Mrs Gentry of Greenville has been spending the past week here with her daughter, Mrs. R. G. Lee. Another little son has come to brighten the home of Rev. and Mrs. G. W. M. Taylor. Dr. B. F. Jones attended a meeting of the State Veterinary association in Columbia Tuesday. Mr. Morris Daitch, who is one of Georgia's prosperous merchants, spent Sunday and Monday here with his brother, Mr. Abran Daitch. Miss Pearl Padgett is having plans drawn for an attractive and modern ly appointed bungalow on her lot on the new Lynch street. * Mr. Clyde Jackson will soon let a contract for the erection of a bunga low in the lot in front of the home of Mrs. Lizzie Folk which he recently purchased from Miss Eliza Mims. We haven't heard of anybody in Edgefield complaining because water is low in their well. Some could use a long-handle gourd instead of pump or bucket and chain. One does not have to journey to Florida to get a whiff of the fra grance of orange blossoms. They will be visible in great profusion in Edge field very soon. Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Prescott are re ceiving the congratulations of their .friends over the coming of another sweet little daughter into their home to be a permanent visitor. Miss Janice- Morgan has been spending the past week at home re cuperating from the influenza. She resumed studies at Winthrop Tues ?day. Miss Janice will graduate in May. ? Mr. T. J. Paul came from Augusta Monday morning and he saw the heaviest hail in Aiken county near Augusta that he has ever seen. It covered the ground like a large sheet of ice. ' The meeting at the Methodist church which is being conducted by the beloved pastor of the church will continue through this week. A ser-| vice is held every night at 8:00 o'clock. Mr. Taylor has been preach-J ing very earnest gospel sermons since the meeting began 10 days ago. WHAT IS HOME \ PLUMBII The installation of has been gradual inc the past two years c months to come. Su time. I cannot give i or five days. If the < the work will be don will probably be som and connect with thc Mr. J. G. Holland has purchase? a lot from Mrs. Hattie Adams just east of her home and will soon be_gin the erection of a modern bungalow there on. Mr; O. L. Black of the Trenton community was in Edgefield Satur day and told the Advertiser's repre sentative that large fields of cotton have been planted near Augusta on the plank road. The following young ladies from Augusta came over and attended the dance given in the Opera House last week: Misses Rosa and Fannie Wright Hill, Myra Pearce, Elizabeth Bussey, Vivian Faust and Estelle Hill. Mr. J. Chalmers Hughes has rent ed one of the bungalows that are be ing erected by Mr. J. L. Mims. He will move his family to Edgefield the latter part of May-just as soon as the school term closes at Blackville. Mrs. John Mays who has been in the University Hospital for treat ment for some weeks has returned to* Edgefield and is at present with her daughter, Mrs. John Kemp. We sin cerely hope that Mrs. Mays will be speedily restored to her accustomed health. Is there something about your hoVie you can improve, so as to keep the good work going on? Every home that is improved adds to the appear ance of the old town. Mr. R. T. Hill will soon have a massive stone wall or coping built around his larg? front yard. i "The Hub," the new store on the corner next door to the Farmers Bank, makes its bow to the Edgefield people this week. Read its advertise ment in our columns this week. "The Hub" is receiving a full line of spring dry -goods. This store is Edgefield headquarters for the popular McCall patterns. The ladies should bear this in mind. Gov. J. C. Sheppard is selling lots adjoining and directly east of his home. They front the avenue leading from Columbia street to his resi dence. Mr. Carroll Cogburn and Mr. Jack A. Lott have recently purchased two of these lots. They contemplate building some time during the next twelve months. The Advertiser hopes to see Mr. Cogburn and Mr. Lott and their families locate permanently in Edgefield. We can always make room for such estimable citizens. The acreage in oats in this county is much smaller than usual, being due to the drought that prevailed at plant season last fall. It behooves those who have a good prospect for oats to make an application of soda at once, if they have not already done so. A liberal application of soda will pay.

Miss Fenton of the State Board of Health was in Edgefield for a confer ence with Miss Brumbaugh as to the work in the county. Miss Fenton is one of the State supervising nurses of our state, and is a graduate of the Massachusetts General Hospital of Boston. This great movement for public health is one of the hopeful signs of the times, and hundreds of these expert young women are at work all over our country making higher health ideals for our people. i Remember the splendid Lyceum attraction in the Edgefield Opera House on Friday evening. If you want to hear something really good and laugh in the right sort of way and in the right sort of humor, go and hear Booth Lowrey in the Opera Hottse on this occasion. Edgefield has a reputation for culture and good taste, so do not disappoint the ladies of the Civic League who are putting on these high class attractions for the benefit of the uplift of our town. Don't go to Augusta that night for an entertainment which will cost you a great deal more and will do you much less good. Meeting of School District Called.

They look strong enough, but the metal isn't there-the strong, durable Vanadium steel that goes into the Ford chassis and every Ford part. Ford parts are specially cast and heat-treated, each according to its use. Some require a hard, flint like wearing surface, others need resiliency, and some need just "toughness." Ford metallurgists have been studying these problems1 for sixteen years and know just how each unit should be made to endure a maximum of wear and tear. They know that best results can be obtained only by the use of special formulas for different parts, and that honest Ford parts wear from thirty-five to one hundred per cent longer than counterfeits. We carry complete assortments of genuine Ford parts for both passenger cars and trucks. And our garage is equipped to give careful, prompt Ford service from minor adjustments to complete overhauls. Drive in, it's better to be safe than sorry. Come to the Authorized Ford dealer for service. YONCE & MOONEY, Edgefield, S. C. H. G. EIDSON, Johnston, S. C.
