Music in The Home.
There is no home which can claim
to be the best type of a Christian
home that does not have the right
kind of home music. Music that de
velops, music that modifies tenden
cies to evil, music that makes chil
dren obedient, music .hat makes the
parents patient and loving, that
brings brother and sister together
in a bond of love that shall never
be broken, music which brings the
hearts of lovers together, music
that awakens all the associations of
the past and quickens reverence in
the minds of those who would wor
ship God-music in the home where
the family altar is set up. Music has
such power that the greatest of
writers through the ages have paid
their tribute*to it. One of the things
I would recommend to you is the
practice of "singing grace" at the
table instead of the usual form of
asking a blessing. Begin when two
of you, husband and wife, set up
your home together. There was a
family in Kentucky who began in
that wa3r. Every child, as it grew
up, joined in. Like a harp, it began
with two strings, and every child
that came was an added string.
Suing after string was added until
there were ten children, and thus
twelve strings. Their voices were
harmonious, and the sound of their
"singing grace" was waited for by
the children passing on the street
and the neighbors opened their
windows to hear it. As the years
went on the harp strings were bro
ken. One child died, then another;
until at last only two strings to the
old harp, the mother and one son,
remained. The old mother had a
friend staying with her for compan
ionship. One day, after an absence,
the son returned home, and the
mother said to him, "I am glad that
you have come, I want to 'sing
grace' once more at the table." So
the table was brought up from the
kitchen, where they had been eating
their meals, the son sat opposite her
and they sang "grace" again at the
table. Think of the associations of
the years of family life which that
singing brought up to that mother.
-The Examiner.
Death of a Christian Woman.
As the major portion of her life
was spent in or near Edgefield, the
announcement of tlie death of Mrs.
Henrietta G. Carter, which occurred
in Columbia last Wednesday, caus
ed much gen nine sorrow here. Her
body was oro?ght to Edgefield
Thursday morning and interred in
the family square in our village
cemetery. The funeral was conduct
ed by Rev. R. N. Pratt, a Baptist
minister of Columbia who accompa
nied the family to Edgefield.
Mrs. Carter is survived by two
brothers, J. B. Tompkins and D.
H. Tompkins of Ninety Six, Mrs.
R. W. Townsend of Ninety Six,
and four children, Miss Kate
G. Carter, S. T. Carter and W.
M. Carter, of Columbia.
She was born in Edgefield July
1345, being the only daughter of
the late Maj. S. S. Tompkins. She
was married on November 22nd,
1870 to the late Capt. J. H. Carter,
who served in the United States
navy prior to the Civil War, dur
ing that struggle he was a captain
in the Confederate army.
Mrs. Carter was a devout Chris
tian woman, reflecting by her in
nate modesty and gentleness the
true southern woman. She was a
member of the Edgefield Baptist
church, and during her residence
here took an active interest in the
affairs of her church.
m
Death of Mr. Vaughn.
Mr. J. M. Vaughn died at the
home of his son Saturday morning.
The funeral was conducted Sunday
evening at 8:30 by Rev. P. B. Lan
ham and the interment took place
in the village cemetery immediately
thereafter. The funeral was delay
ed in order to give his daughter
who resides in Newberry opportu
nity to reach Edgefield.
Mr. Vaughn was a quiet, lawa
biding citizen. He was a Confeder
ate veteran and was highly esteem
ed by his comrades in arms. He
was a member of the South Side
Baptist church.
Good Yield of Wheat.
In spite of the very dry spring, a
larger yield of wheat has been har
vested in the county than for sever
al years-possibly the largest yield
ever made. Besides the farmers
who entered The Advertiser's wheat
contest, we have heard of a number
of very satisfactory yields. Mr.
Henry W. McKie made over 59
bushels on between two and three
acres, and Mr. H. M. Herlong
threshed 50 bushels from two acres.
As long as Edgefield county soil
will make such yields of wheat there
ought not to be much western flour
shipped into this territory.
Union Meeting.
The union meeting of the 2nd di
vision of the Edgefield Baptist as
sociation will meet with Ebenezer

Ford Automobiles.
There is no car that has stood the
test in Edgefield county better than
the Ford. Whether light run-about
or heavy touring car, the Ford has
held its place among the cars that
have the wearing qualities. As
these cars are only sold in this coun
ty by the Lott-Walker Co., of John
ston, those who contemplate pur
chasing an automobile should drop
this firm a card and ask for a dem
onstration of their merits. The
Fords are not only properly con
structed and made of the best ma
terial, but the price is very reason
able. Communicate with the Lott
Walker Company before you place
your order for a car.
Mr. J. U. Rives lei yesterday

tain home, where his family will

turn to his business in Edgefield.

GOOD WORK.
Done Daily in Edgefield. Many
Citizens Tell of it.
Nearly every reader has heard of
Doan's kidney pills. Their good
work in ?dgefield still continues,
and our citizens are constantly add
ing endorsement by public testimo
ny. No better proof of merit can be
had than the experience of friends
and neighbors. Read this case:
Mrs. L K Dunn, Edgefield, S. C.,
says: I have found Doan's kidney
pills to be the best kidney remedy
I ever used and I do not hesitate to
recommend them. Kidney complaint
came on me quickly, undermining
my health with its torturing pains
and wsikness. My kidneys and
bladder both caused me much
suffering and I had fainting and
dizzy spells. Doan's kidney pills
had been very beneficial to other
members of our family and deciding
to try them myself, I got a supply.
I was not disappointed with the re
sults, for this remedy relieved me
from the first and soon restored me
to health. I shall always recommend
Doan's kidney pills for I do not
think there is another kidney medi
cine quite as effective."
