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.

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.

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.
