Entertained Card Club. With characteristic elegance and refinement of taste in planning for the function, Miss Mae Tompkins entertained the ladies' card club Sat urday afternoon, this being the close of the series of games. There was a full attendance and the occasion was one of unusual pleasure. The tables were decorated with early spring flowers fresh from the garden, their beauty and fragrance gave added pleasure to those who deftly fingered the cards. At the close of the con test it was derided that Mrs. John. Rainsford had made the highest score during the series of games and she was awarded the prize. The host ess served a salad course and hot drinks. Mrs. Mathis Writes From "The Land of Flowers." (Written for last week.) Dear Advertiser: I've been in Florida for the past eight weeks, the object of my stay being to try to get relief from that same distressing asthma, from which I have so long suffered. Mr. Mathis came with me and our first stop was at Jacksonville, where we were entertained by Mrs. Weibert, .who was Miss Wise from Aiken. Mr. Weibert is a "gentleman to the man or born," rich in this world's goods. He owns a handsome home in a fash ionable part of the city, and Mrs. "Weibert entertains in much style and elegance. From Jacksonville we went to Lak"e City and stopped with Mr. and Mrs. T. Parker Jordan .another delightful family, Mr. Jordan being originally from Abbeville. While here it was our pleasure to see Mrs. Mattie Jen nings, who was Miss Jordan and for merly went to school in Edgefield. Our next stop was at Mikesville, {a little village) with Mr. and Mrs. M. M. Martin, and it is at this place that my better half has enjoyed such wonderful sport (hunting) for the past several winters. This season was no exception to his former trips, as some days he killed as many as seventy-five birds in a day. The Mar tins are also Edgefield people. Mrs. Martin will be lovingly remembered as Miss Bessie Miller of Edgefield, and Mr. Martin is a direct descendant of one of the Martin women who dis tinguished herself in the Revolution ary war and after whom the Martin town road is named. Our objective poif?t was Crescent City and we reached here six weeks a|ro, and were soon comfortably in stalled in the hospitable home of that whole-souled and popular couple, ? Mr. and Mrs. J. E. L?rick, who mov ed here from Trenton about twelve years ago. They have two beautiful daughters, Louise and Inez, who have both married, each choosing for her life companion, a gentleman of the highest integrity and splendid ' business qualities. We haven't felt for a minute like strangers in a strange land, for here we found Mr. Howard Mathis and his family-more Trenton people, and Mrs. Em Cheatham, formerly of Edgefield. Mrs. Cheatham owns a per fectly magnificent home that her I son, Augustus (known as genial Gus) built just prior to his death several years ago. This home cost forty thou sand dollars-is beautifully equipped j with all the modern conveniences, ; and handsomely furnished. We had 1 the pleasure of dining there Sunday and besides many other guests, there was present that beloved Mrs. Hattie Cullum from Batesburg, S. C., and her attractive daughter who will spend the remainder of the winter in ' this picturesque town. For a while we had quite a little Trenton colony. Besides ourselves, there were Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Posey and their children; Mrs. Sallie Mor rall, whom everybody loves and we surely missed her presence and deep interest in us when she left; Mr. and < Mrs. Marshall Long and Mrs. Emma '< Hord are also wintering here. Mr. ' Long has purchased a home and a large orange grove. He has also bought a beautiful launch which will ] be christened on Lake Crescent at 1 an early date as the "Lina Hord," in honor of his lovely young wife. We are afraid that this popular couple will eventually make this their per manent abiding place. Since we have begun to improve, we have enjoyed every minute of our stay here, and while Florida has its advantages-its fruits and flowers now are luscious and luxuriant, its climate unsurpassed, we've begun to long for our "Carolina Hills," our Edgefield and Trenton friends and loved ones and we don't think it will b elong before we'll be seeing you.

Allen Good Health Life's Greatest Blessing Happiness and Success Within Easy Reach of Red-Blooded Men and Women ANEMIC CONDITION UNNECES SARY Pepto-Mangan Makes Rich, Red Blood-Builds Up Pale, Thin Anemic Men and Women Good health is the most important asset of life. Without a vigorous strong body and a keen, clear mind, true happiness and enjoyment are impossible. And yet so many women and men too, whose misfortune it is to be pale, thin and anemic, hopelessly accept this condition in the belief that ro bust health and real happiness are not for them. Thousands of men and women have been restored to vigorous health and lasting by Gude's Pepto-Mangan. This beneficial blood tonic contains the very properties so vitally needed to improve the blood. Pepto-Mangan, if taken for a few weeks, will enrich the blood and create thousands of the tiny red blood cells that are so neces sary to carry nourishment and strength to every part of the body. Be sure to ask your druggist for "Gude's" when you order Pepto Mangan. "Gude's" is the genuine Pepto-Mangan. Look for the name "Gude's" on the package.-Adv. FOR SALE: One yoke of oxen. Apply to L. R.

Make our store your headquarters. ukashy Edgefield, South Carolina m mm Upon These Arguments We YOU, the buyers, are the real builders of wagons. You put the final Okay upon the use of certain materials and con struction when you buy a wagon containing them-and refuse to buv a wagon that does not. We want to show you how the Thornhill Wagon is built. Upon a plain statement of facts wc are willing to rest our case. We believe the Thornhill way would be your way if you should build a wagon. For spokes and axles tough second growth highland hickory is used For hubs and felloes the sturdy white oak is preferred. This wood grows upon the mountain side. The ground is hard the climate severe. It has to fight for life. It has nearly twice the strength of Oak and hickory that grows under softer condition.;. Outdoors under shelter it regains for three to five years. The cap dries in it, giving it a strength tim's kin to steel. Full Circle Iron Malleable Front Houn Plate Trussed Bolsters and Gears Long Wear Beds Bolster* Cant -Ians In Turning In turning and backingup, with the ordi nary circle iron, which is only a half circle, alsters run off the end of the track and nang. It is difficult to make short turns and back up. The Thornhill full circle iron gives a continuous track on which the bol sters can turn. The gears of Thornhill wagons stay in line for life. Instead of the usual front hound plate, a hound plate of malleable ii on is used. It is a metal jacket braced at eight points that keeps gear:; from ever getting out of linc. Note the Adjustable Brake Lever On the front bolsters of Thornhill wagons are heavy iron plates running along top and bottom-connected by rivets that ron clear through the bolster. Strength and lightness are combined. Rear gears are strongly ironed. There are braces on bodftop and bottom that extend the full length of the . hounds. Solid trust bars extend the full length of the axles giving them double strength. If you examine thc beds of Thornhill Wagons closely you will see at once the superiority of the construction. The bottoms are re-inforced over front and rear bolsters. Come in and examine this wagon for yourself. We will take pleasure and pride in showing you a Thornhill-The wagon made of tough highland oak and ' hickory-with features all others lacie. [610*1. BETTIS CANTELOU
