FROM THE COUNTY
(Continued from Page One.) -
home Monday night after a pleasant
visit with relatives in Greenville.
Mrs. Arch Bennett and children and
Mr. and Mrs. Rhett Sloan were guests
of Mr. and Mrs. . Y. Mctuown on
Monday.
Mrs. Isabella Burns, of Clinton,
visited here on Monday.
F. Lee Sheppy, 8th Floor, 243 W.
17th Street, New York City, General
Sales Manager of the largest concern
of its kind in the world, wants three
or four men in LAurens county and
several men in adjoining counties, to
work for him spare time or all the
time. He can use only those who have
a rig or auto. Work is very pleasant
and no previous selling experience is
necessary. Work consists of leaving
a wonderful new household necessity
in the homes on free trial. Tests at
more than thirty of the leading uni
versities and the government bureau of
standards show this now article to be
four times as efilcient as articles now
in general use in this section. Article
is needed in every rural home and
benefits every member of the house
hold, bringing cheer, comfort and hap
piness into the home. Not necessary
to be away from home nights. Pay
from $6.00 to $15.00 per day according
to ability and number of homes visit
ed. In writing Mr. Sheppy, mention
what townships will be most conve
nient for you to work in; what your
regular occupation is; your age, mar
ried or single; how long you have
lived in the community; what kind of
a rig or auto you have; whether you
wish to work spare time or steady;
how much time you will have to devote
to the work; when you can start, and
about how many homes are within six
miles of you in each direction. This
is a splendid opportunity for several
men in ILa urens county and counties
adjoining to make good money, work
ing steady or spare time. Some of
the field men earn $:000.00 per mnth;
one farmer armed $1,000.00 working
spare time only. No investment or
bond necessary. 22-it

Editor The Advertiser:
' As the year 1916 comes to a close we
are like the old Georgia philosopher,
"Bill Arp" in a ruminating mood. Bill
Arp used to say, "Count that year lost,
4f when its course is run, Heaven is
farther off than when its course be
gun." We were thrown into this rum
inating mood by observing the hood
. women cleaning up for Christmas,
sweeping and cleaning up around the
place. We could not help from think
ing what a great thing it -would be if
we could as easily clean up our past
life for the year. We wonder how
many things we have said, done or
thought 'that we would give anything
if we could recall. What is it about
Christmas that makes us all feel dif
ferent from any other time of the year,
but the anniversary of the birth of our
Saviour, the Son of God, and the happy
family reu'nions?
We do not think we ever spent' a
Christmas day withb a more grateful
heart than the present one. A few
weeks before Christmas our family .was
scattered from El Paso, Texas, to up
per South Carolina. Two boys on the
border, one in south Georgia, one in
Charleston, one on the farm, one and
only daughter on the farm. .Just wife
and I left alone. It lookod mighty
gloomy for awhile to us, but bmy the
provideonce of God we were all togeth
er again at Christmas. And not only
that, butt there was an unusual gat'h
ering at our bumble home. Four gen
erations were represented, the o1(1
great-grandfather, [Dr. A. ('. ["ulier, 92
years of age, (laughter, one grandi
daughter, o grand~ sons, one great
grandl daughter andl 1 great grandson,
a little over 1 year old. Nearly a eeni
tury represented. We tried to he grate

tul and let, our hearts go out to our
MIaker and all mankind and wished
that all might have been blessed as
we were. But when we thought of. all
the trouble, and horrible condition
across tre water, of the great suffering
and all the innumerable heartaches
over there and in our own country, our
hearts were made sad ana could only
repeat the old Georgia philosopiher's
quaint verses and breathe a silent
prayer that none of us might
"Count-that year lost,
if when its course is run,
Heaven is farther off,
Than when it first begun."
Respectfully,
"Old Farmer."
SAYS DRINK WATER
IF YOU WISH TO GROW
FAT AND PLUMI
Thin Men and Women-I)o you Wani
to Get Fat and BIo Strong?
The trouble with most thin , folks
who wish to gain weight is that they
insist on drugging their stomach or
stuffing it with greasy foods; rubbing
on useless "flesh creams", or follow
ing some foolish physical culture stunt
while the real cause of thinness goes
untouched. You cannot get fat un
til your digestive tract properlg as
similates the food you eat. Drink a
glass of cold water four or flvo times
a day and take the following pt'epara
tion known to reliable druggists al
most everywhere, wjhich seemingly em
bodies the missing' elenentA needed
by the digestive organs to help thei
convert food into rich, fat-1 den blood.
This preparation is called tonoline
and 'mcch remarkable tdstinony is
given as to its successful use in flesh
building. Tonoline which comes in
ie form of a small hon-i njurlous
tablet., taken at meals and mixed with
the digesting food, tends to prepare fat
flesh ahd muscle building elements at
that the blood ean readily accept and
carry them to the starved portion of
the body. You can readily picture thc
transformation that. additional and
previously lacking flesh making ma
terial should bring to your cheeks
filling out rollows about your neck
shoulders and best disappearing, and
your taking on from 15 to 30 pounds
of solid healthy flesh 'Tonoline Is
harmless. inexpensive, eficient. The
Peoples Drug Store have it and are
authorized to refund your money I1
weight increase is not obtained as
per the guarantee found in eadh large
package.
Caution:-tonoline is recommended
only as a flesh builder and while ex
cellent results in cases of nervous in
digestion, etq., have been reported
care should be taken about using I
unless a gain of weight is desired.
Card of Thanks.
The members of Todd Memoria
church remembered their minister al
the Christmas-tide by sending to his
home some supplies for the pantry
consisting of flour, lard, coffee, sugar
tea, rice, fresh meat, fruits, etc. In
behal fof myself and family, I thank
all our friends for remembering us
in this substantial manner. We ap
preciate very much these tokens o
good-will and interest in our tempora
welfare, but most of all do we appre
clate the kind motive that prompted
the action of the donors. May the Giv,
er of every good and perfect gift re.
ward our friends for their kindness t<
us.

AT THE 1BRONT WITH THE ALLIES
The Greatest Achievement in Motion
Picture Photoplay.
It seems incredible that some of the
most terrific battle seenes bf the Eu
ropean war, views of the great sea en
counter, of the daring air raids and
the grewsome sights of earnage in the
wake of great battles could -be trans
ported from the fields where they were
enacted and thrown in vivid action on
thetre motion picture screen before
American audiences. Yet that is what
has been accomplished in the Hippo
drome Film Company's production,
"At the Front With the Allies," which
will be shown at the Idle Hour on
Thursday, Dec. 28th.
The English and Russian navies are
shown ii action. Several bombard
ments in which cities are ilterally shot
to pieces and then swept by flames
are pictured. In one picture a great
oil refinery is struck and the large
storage tanks catch on fire, making
one of the most tremendous conflagra
tions imaginable. An English-German
naval engagement is caught here and
there 'by Ithe camera. One picture
shows an English submarine discharg
ing a torpedo, and the sccceeding one
shows the torpedo striking a German
gunboat at a distance, tearing it half
in two.
The scene shifts from Flanders and
the coast of the North Sea an the snow
covered Caucasus, and the Russian
Army is shown in action against the
Austrians. lere and in the Voges are
shown somie of tre most pitiful scenes
in the whole production. On great
white battlefields, after the smoke of
battle has moved away and the armies
have moved on to new fields of en
counter, literally thousands of the
slain are shown, half covered with
snow, with here and there a foot pro
truding, or some other mark of iden
tiflcation to show that the mangled
masses are the remains of human be
ings. In many places the bodies were
piled into great rows to form breast
works behind which their survivors
sought desperately to withstand the
enmy's onslaught.
Towns are bombarded and set on
Ire. Turkish battleship is hemmed in
i small inlet and literally blown to
pieces.
'Ile pictures not only show actual
battle scenes at the front, but the
grim fruits of war are pitifully por
trayed by scenes taken in the great
base hospitals. Men with arms and
legs missingare shown heroically smil
Ing as the camera records their cheer
fulness.-Dallas Times.
