THE OLD BAKING I Ahso?uh MADE FROM CRi Trustee?, Notice. Our first meeting of county teach ers' associatiou will be in the court house .Saturday, 27th inst. We es pecially urge trustees to be with us as a feature ol' the meeting will be for them. W. W. Fuller. Co. Supt. Education. Very Pleasant Occasion. The ladies of Stevens Creek churGh gave an oyster supper at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Allen Friday night last, the occasion being a distinct success. The amount realized was about 838, which will be used in improving the church buildiug. The spacious home of Mr. and Mrs. Allen is an ideal place for any social gathering, and especially for one that is largely attended. We trust that success will continue to attend the efforts of the good women who compose Stevens Creek church. Thi ef on Gang. Sheriff Swearingen recruited the ranks of the chaingansr Saturday with one Jim Brunson, colored. He was 'convicted in the Magistrate's court at Johnston for stealing a watch and 30 days on the road. After serving this term he will be tried for a more serious offense. Jim formerly resided in the Cleora section. Some months ago he stole another negro's wife andr betook i himself "to Johnston to -make his home. His next arraignment-will be " for stealing the ginger-cake colored fraud, who, by the way. being a '. willing victim, will likewise have to explain some things in court, i A New Plant Mr. O. B. Anderson purchased! some seed and planted them in the summer, thinking they were turnip seed. But when they came up it was altogether a new pl int, being something of a cross between vetch and turnips. He has sent a speci-! men of the plant to Clemson coi- ?, lege but the horticulturist there says there is nothing like it in his collection of 400 seeds. A speci men has also been sent to Washing ton to the agricultural department. It is hardly probable that Mr. An- j dereon was the only one who pur-j chased and planted the seed. Who else in this section has some of the j new plant? Please report it to The j Advertiser. Citation. The State of South Carolina, Conn tv of Edgefield. By W. T. Kinnaird, Probate Judge. Whereas, W.

RELIABLE POWDER fly Pure EAM OF TARTAR Major J W. Aiton Dead. We were informed Monday morn? inp of the death of Major Aiton which occurred Thursday last at ins hom- in the Callison section of Greenwood county, formerly Edge Held. He has been a regular sub scriber of The Advertiser for more than 60 years, being in his 86th year at the'ti me of his death. For the past 10 years or rr ore The Ad vertiser has been going to Mr. Ai ton every week gratis, \\ ith the com pliments of the editor. Major Aiton wa? a good man, a valuable citizen. For many years he was a deacon in Mountain Creek church, from which church he was buried Friday afternoon. He was noted for his faithfulness in every duty assigned bim. Notwithstand ing the fact that he resided some distance away, no member of the church was more regular in attend ance upon public worship than he. Unless prevented by sickness, Maj. Aiton was always in his place. Even the weight of years which gradually grew upon him did not interfere with his faithful discharge of religious du ties. In the active years of his life Major Aiton was one of the leading factors in his community life. Noth ing was undertaken without his counsel and he always rendered a full measure of service. As he has been such a loyal member of The Advertiser circle of readers so long, it is with profound regret that we strike his name from our list. Major Aiton is survived by-bis wife,-five-daughters, Mesdames" J. M. Rogers, Walter Rogers, A. W. Rogers, S?be Agnew and Burt Dorn, arid three sons, Thomas, William and Samuel Aiton. D. A. R. Meeting. Mrs. James R. Cantelou was the hostess for the Old 96 District Chapter, D. A. R. on Tuesday af ternoon at the regular November meeting. All of the organizations of women in Edgefield are in a flourishing condition, and enthusiastic along their respective lines of interest. All the recent meetings have been of special importance because of the three state conventions which have taken place so recently, the Woman's Missionary Union in Spar tanburs', the Daughters of the American Revolution in Greenville and the Daughters of the Confed eracy in Aiken, delegates from each of these occasions bringing back enthusiastic accounts of the con ventions. The regent of the local D. A. R., Mrs. N. G. Evans, pre sided and business having been? at tended to, Mrs. Evans gave a very comprehensive and interesting ac count of the D. A. R. Conference in Greenville. Mrs. D. B. Hol lingsworth, also in a very entertain ing manner, described othur features of the conference. The new year books were distrib uted, which will greatly facilitate tne work of the ensuing year. Mrs. Tillman, as historian, took charge of the remainder of the pro gramme, and a very interesting in cident was the display of the South Carolina Flag which the chapter hai presented to the Edgefield High Schoo1, and which had been carried to Seattle and used on the platform Jubilee night when Mrs. Tillman and Mrs. Tompkins represented the state of South Carolina at the na tional convention of the Christian Temperance .Union So the South Carolina Flag owned by the Edge field High School and the gift of the local chapter D. A. R. pro claimed to the United States at Seattle the freedom of South Caro lina from the shackles of King Alcohol, as had in the long aso floated to the breeze proclaiming the freedom of the colonies from the tyanny of Great Britain. As the day of the meeting was so near Thanksgiving, something of the spirit of the season pervaded the occasion. The members responded to the roll call with a Thanksgiving sentiment; and ihe chaplain, Mrs. ?. L. Mime, read a poem on that subject. The fir?* Thanksgiving was. a very suggestive and interesting pa rw?r read and prepared by Mrs. Maner Lawton. William Jones sanjr a Thanksgiving song, a reminiscent, sketch of William Royall was read by Mrs. J. W. Teak. The chapter lound this paper of great interest? and a relic of the past belonging to thia distinguished gentleman was an old copy book one hundred and three years old which was an- ob ject of great interest to the chapter, md was viewed by each one. At the close of the historical pro gramme, the chapter was invited to | the dining room, where seated around the table, a most delightful season of social enjoyment was spent. The table was spread with veritable banquet-, an elaborate ?alad course with whipped cream and coffee, and a second course of delightful cake and nut-jelly with cream. The December meeting will be ? very pleasant one, and will have a? ita subject, "The Indian," and will, meet with Mrs. Mamie N. Tillman. See the new coat suits $12.50 and up.
