manager of the Dixie Highway Hotel,
made the hotel at Belton famous for
its turkey dinners, and he will serve
one of those turkey dinners next?
Sunday, which will mark the opening
of the new hostelry. Scores of Edge
field people have already made known
to Mr. Vause that it ls their pur
pose to take dinner at the hotel next
Sunday. If you expect to be one of
those- who will thus manifest to Mr.
and Mrs. Vause that we, the people
of Edgefield, are with him heart and
hand in this new enterprise, let him
know in advance, so a sufficiency of
the feathered tribe may be slaught
ered.'
Corner Store's Second Sale.
Having succeeded so well with his
former sale, Mr. Turner states in his
full page advertisement this week
that in order to move heavy winter
goods he will deal another blow, to
high prices by giving one-half and
one-third off on certain lines of
goods. For the first 25 persons who

"Mother is Sleeping."
"Sadly now the. bells are ringing,
Echoes answer from the^lills,
But they cannot wake the sleeper,
< Who has passed beyond life's ills.
0, this world is sad and lonely,
Since our mother went away,
But we hope again to meet her,
.In the lan"d of endless day.
Kiss the lips now cold and silent,
NB more will they speak our name
But Ve know for us they're calling;
Mother's love issstill the same.
Place a wreath upon her bosom,
As a token of our love; - ?
Seal a vow that we will meet her
In our~Father's home above.
Shesis sleeping, sweetly sleeping,
N evermore to wake or weep,
Jesus called her, gently called her,
And she softly fell asleep.."
In memory of my dear mother,
Mrs. M. G. Cloer, who departed this
life August 12, 1920. .

Fordson Tractors
Ready for Delivery
The season is right on us for turn land deep, so as to
get an early start next spring. Land broken deep now
will not require another breaking to prepare the seed
bed. Get ahead of the boll weevil.
For fall breaking there is nothing better than a Ford
son Tractor. Nothing else does the work as satisfac
torily, nor as cheaply. We carry in stock parts and re
pairs of every kind, which will enable you to keep con-,
stantly in repair at small cost and without loss of time.
Ask farmers who are using a Fordson
tractor if it does not fill a long standing
need on the farm.
Come in to see us and let us tell you more about the
real merits of the Fordson. The price puts them in
reach of every farmer.
