Whenever you are grouchy or

The entertainment at TrentonOT
It's a pity what is called the Bates
Hill is a portion of the Dixie High
way. Tourists going from the low
country to the mountains will leave
Edgefield with a bad taste in their
mouth, if n?t bad words on their
lips, after passing over this stretch
of but a few hundred feet of road
or street.
About the worst roads in Edge
field county are some of Edgefield's

we may expect it where the pipes
are being laid, but The Advertiser
refers especially to the Buncombe
streets where the streets have not
been torn up, except by heavily
loaded trucks. .

Cincinnatti.
Watermelons are very good this
year but they are almost out of
reach of the purse that has many de
mands upon it. However, the prices
that are asked are not out of propor
tion to prices of other commodities.
The pi-oducer has at last come into
his own, that is to say, he is getting
reasonable returns for his labor, and
we are glad of it. May it continue to
be so.
Misses Kathleen and Evelyn Glov
er of North, daughters of Mr. A. A.
Glover, were visitors in Edgefield
Monday and were very cordially
greeted. They were accompanied by
their aunt, Mrs. Carrie Forrest, of

Very Effective Preaching.

ing Rev. W. R. Barnes in the annual
protracted services at Antioch church
this week. He is a very earnest and
deeply pious ?man; It will be recall
ed that he assisted in revival ser
vices in the Edgefield Baptist church
about three years ago, doing very ef
fective work here. Mr. Montgomery
will also assist Mr. Barnes in his an
nual protracted meeting at Red Hill
church, commencing the third Sun
day in August. The people of the
West side have a great treat ip store
in being able to hear the consecrated
evangelist. Soon after the Red Hill
meeting he will leave to fill nearly a
dozen engagements in Oklahoma,
Kansas and other western states.
Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea

This remedy is certain to be need
ed in many, many homes before the
summer is over. Buy it now and be
prepared. It is recognized as a most
reliable remedy for bowel complaints
and may be obtainea at any drug
store.

,The Acme Auto Company has jusfr
received a car load of Chevrolet*
cars. Immediate delivery of anything'
you want can be made. You see and
try just what you buy, and can get
it right now. Call to see these Chev
rolet cars, if you have the auto fev
er. Immediate relief is promised,
even for the most desperate ^cases.^
New Warehouse Completed.
The splendid new warehous?
which has just been completed by
Mr. B. B. Jones and the broad new
sidewalk in front adds greatly to old
Edgefield. It is just such modern
improvements as this that are mak
ing the old town new. Mr. B. B.
Jones always builds well when he
builds. We hope he has some other
building operation in contemplation.
Good Crop Prospect.
Everywhere one goes in the coun
ty the crops are fine, very fine. Usual
ly they are "spotted," a good crop in
one section or on the farm and else
where, even in a near by community,
the crops are poor. Not so this year.
On thin land and on strong land the
prospect of a large harvest is good.
Of course a full crop is far, very far,
from being made. One can never tell
what cotton will do in the end. A
fine prospect can go all to pieces in
less than a week. Nevertheless, there
is cause now for ,great rejoicing.
W. C. T. U. Announcement.
The Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union will meet on Monday
next at the home of Mrs. W. L. Nich
olson. All members are asked to
bring in their dues at this time in
order to close up the financial year
preparatory to the State Convention
at Johnston early in October.
The devotions will be conducted
by Mrs. E. J. Norris. We hope to
have reports from Montreat and
Ridge Crest, N. C., where two of our
members have recently visited.
