Marshal Harry Culbreath is having
some of the-best work done on the
street leading to Buncombe (a por
tion of the Dixie Highway) that ever

If he is not interrupted he will trans
form this very bad street into a first
class one.
A steadily increasing number of
people from the country who are in
Edgefield on business for the day are
taking their dinner at the Dixie High
way hotel. We are glad to see this. If
they ever take one meal with Mr.
Vause they will become a regular
gnest when in town. The Dixie High
day hotel meals can't be beat.
Mr. Claude T. Burnett has moved
his law office from the rooms over
the store of W. W. Adam-- & Com
pany into the office of Capt. N. G.

in the practice of law but will occupy
the same offices. Mr. Burnett who is
really an Edgefield boy has rapidly
made friends since he came to Edge
field soon after being admitted to the
har to practice his profession.
I Timmerman-Williams.
The following is a copy of the in
vitations that have been received in
Edgefield to the approaching wed
ding of two widely beloved young
people who are deservedly popular
here and in other parts of the county.
Mr. and Mrs. Felix Lake Timmerman
request the pleasure of your company
at the marriage of their daughter
Ida Elizabeth
to
Mr. Julian Williams
- on Saturday morning, January 22
at eleven o'clock
At Home
Pleasant Lane, South Craolina
Moved to New Stand.
Mr. Israel Mukashy moved Mon
day into his large modern and very
attractive store room which was for
merly occupied by Mr. E. S. Rives.
The store has been repainted and
otherwise improved in the interior
and a modern front with large plate
glass windows has been constructed.
Mr. Mukashy not only now has ade
quate room to display his large stock
but also has room for enlarging and
adding other deportments. In his
large advertisement this week he an
nounces the change of location and
invites his friends and the public to
visit his new store.
Got Busy at Once.
Supervisor A. A. Edmunds put on
his working clothes as soon as he was
inducted into office and has been out
looking after the roads that need
work. The roads between Edgefield
and Trenton and between Edgefield
and Johnston are being worked this
week by the free labor system, that
is, by men who prefer working four
days to paying their road tax.
Bank Statements.
We direct attention to the quarter
ly bank statements of the Farmers
and Merchants Bank, Bank of West
ern Carolina, Bank of Johnston,
Farmers Bank of Edgefield and the
Bank of Edgefield in this issue. As
the figures of the banks show, the
large amount of loans and discounts,
all of the banks of the county have
been very indulgent with their pa
trons. Study the statements of the
banks. All of the banks of the county
are on a foundation as solid as Gi
braltar.
