Wednesday, April 14.
LOCAL AND PERSONAL,
Mr. J. G. Holland made a business
trip to Atlanta early in the week.

W. T. Reel.

ing relatives in Edgefield and vicini
ty.
Dr. R. G. Lee is assisting Rev. W.
S. Brooke., pastor of the Baptist

week.
Several weeks ago little Lucy Mc
iver Swearingen came to make her
abode at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
W. T. Swearingen.
Mr. T. R. Skinner has the contract
for erecting two bungalows for Mrs.
Hattie W. Adams on the street lead
ing by the home of Mr. J. G. Alford.
It gives one a patriotic thrill to see
"Old Glory" flying from the mast
head of the Dixie Highway Hotel,
which is already one of Edgefield's
show places.
Everybody is admiring the attrac
tive new bungalow of Mr. and Mrs.
J. G. Alford, the stone work on the
.exterior being especially beautiful
and altogether new for Edgefield.
Miss Ethel Cheatham who is a
6tudent at Due West, came home

her mother, bringing with her a
school friend, Miss Carrie Ferguson,
of Rock Hill.
Mrs. David Britton of Sumter has
"been spending part of this week here
with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W.
Peak, having come from Columbia
where she went to visit her sister,
Miss Willie Peak.
Mr. J. W. Stewart's name appear
ed on the municipal ticket which was
published last week but he has de
clined to serve as warden and Mr. S.
B. Nicholson and Mr. W. F. McMur
rain are candidates in that ward.
Would that thei'e were as many
painters as carpenters at work in
Edgefield. The old town needs to don
new spring attire. Every stroke of
the brush helps. Doesn't something
.on or about your premises need
painting?
The work of laying the sewer pipes
is progressing. At present only man
power is being used but a little later
a machine for making the excava
tions will arrive, making it possible
?o lay 800 yards of pipe a day a
depth of six feet, if so much be
necessary.
The lateness of preparation and
planting is not necessarily an indica
tion that fhe harvest will be short
next fall. There is time enough yet
-to make a good crop, if we will do
our best-our dead, level best.
There'll be no time to play when the
ground is sufficiently dry to plow.
We were delighted to shake the
hand of Mr. Walter Pearce Ryan on
the streets of Edgefield Saturday, he
having come home to recuperate
from an attack of influenza. Mr. Ry
an is taking a business course at the
Georgia Technological school, where
all of his expenses are being paid by
the government.
Mr. J. A. Townsend, the popular j
and very capable agent of the South
ern, has rented one of the new bun
galows from J. L. Mims; and will oc
cupy it the first of June. He and Mr.
J. C. Hughes will be next door neigh
bors and as Mr. J. L. Addison, an-|
other employee of the Southern, also
resides next door just a little further
up the street, somebody has dubbed
the street railroad avenue.
Mr. W. S. G. Heath has commenced
work on the bungalow of Mr. Clyde
Jackson in Buncombe.

pletely transformed the residence of
Mr. J. S. Smith on Jeter Street.

iary.
Attention is directed to the fol-'
lowing new advertisements this
week: The Corner Store, W. E.
Stokes, Dorn & Mims, M. A. Taylor,
Yonce & Mooney and H. G. Eidson.
Mr. James 0. Sheppard has stated
that he will be a candidate for the
house of representatives in the cam
paign this summer. He is a graduate
of the South Carolina University and
will make a good representative.
Mr. W. A. Cartledge who is on
Edgefield's honor roll of veterans,
was among the visitors in Edgefield
Saturday. Notwithstanding his ad
vanced age, he is remarkably active j
in mind and body.
Not only have your club meet in
response to the call of the county
chairman, but urge a representative
attendance. The people generally
should take more interest in the af
fairs of State.
Among the needs of Edgefield is
an up-town telegraph office. Our peo
ple have been longsuffering and pa
tient almost fo a fault in bearin?
with the inadequacy or inefficiency of
the service furnished the town by the
Western Union Telegraph Company.
Mr. H. F. Hungerford of Charlotte
the general superintendent of the
Southern railroad and Mr. .v. S.
Collins, superintendent of the Colum
bia division ,are visitors in Edgefield
today, having come on somewhat a
tour of inspection. The officials of the
Southern have always been very con
siderate of Edgefield's interests.
The store of better qualities at
lower prices.
I. MUKASI1Y.
Card of Thanks.
We wish to express our sincere
thanks to our friends and relatives
for their many deeds of kindness
shown us through the illness and
death of our loved one, wife and
mother. Hope to be able to return it
some day.
MR. McGEE and .CHILDREN.
