Old Copies of The Advertiser.
The editor of The Advertiser is
grateful to Mr. G. W. Medlock for
sending him fifteen or twenty old
copies of the paper that wero pub
lished in the "forties" and "fifties."
We prize these old copies of The
Advertiser very highly as they con
tain much matter that is of historic
value. If any other persons have old
copies of the piper that they do
not care particularly for, we will
greatly appreciate their sending
them to us. As wu have not a com
plete file of The Advertiser pri^r to
1802 we are always glad to receive
a copy of any issue ba -k of that
d tte.
Entertainment a Success.
Just as The Advertiser expected,
the entertainment that was y i ven
for the benefit of the Colliers school
Friday night wa? a great success.
The Colliers teachers know how to
plan an entertainment and the good
people of that vicinity are loyal to
their school, therefore nothing but
weather conditions could bring
failure to such an undertaking. The
music which was furnished by the
baud wai an attractive feature of
the program, a selection being play
ed between the several members cn
the program. The sum of about $25
was realized for the benefit of the
school. Several persons from Edge
field would have attended the enter
tainment had it not been for the
Scotch concert which was given here
at the same time.
Bank's Banner Year.
The stockholders of the bank of
Edgefield held their annual
meeting in the directors' room of
the bank Monday. As the state
ment which is published elsewhere
in this issue will show, the bank has
had an exceedingly profitable year,
making a net dividend for the stock
holders of more than 17 percent.
Ten per cent was ordered paid out
at once, ?5,000 was added to the
surplus account and the remainder
of the net earnings is held as undi
vided profits. The bank has loans
amounting to $314,050.94 and de
posits of $208,697.96, with only
$40,000 bills payable. The officers
are to be congratulated upon mak
ing so splendid a showing. The
two vacancies on the board of di
rectors were filled by the election
of Mr. John Rainsford and Mr. J.
H. Allen as directors. The same
officers were re-elected.

Very Large Buyers.
Messrs. Ramsey & Jones are very
large buyers direct from the largest
and best factories. That is why they
always have a large assortment and
can name close prices. They have
just unloaded iwo cars of furniture,
a car of Rock Hill buggies, a car cf
Hackney buggies, a car of White
Hickory wagons and a car of Hack
ney wagons. All of these goods
have been proven to be of the best
quality. iHundredsof satisfied cus

Entertainment a Success.
The Scotch concert which was
given in the opera house la-?t Fri
day evening was a complete success,
both as an entertainment and in the
matter of finances. The audience
was large and very appreciative,
giving at the time every possible
encouragement to tnose who par
ticipated in the entertainment. The
first part of the program was pre
sented by the children in their little
play, "The Sick Bfhy." This was
well recieved b; the audience, as
entertainments by well trained chil
dren always are. The second part
of the program consisted of old
Scotch songs by the best musical
ta.'int from Johnston and Edgefield.
Our friends from Johnston com
pletely won the music lovers of
Edgefield, many expressing the hope
that these sweet singers will appear
before the Edtrefield footlights
again in the near future. The vocal
duets which were faultlessly len
dered by Misses Emmie and Beat
rice Warth of Savannah thoroughly
captivated the audience. Our own
Edgefield singers also appeared to
the best possible advantage. And,
then, last, but by no means least,
ther3 was the S. C. C. I. orchestra
which also covered itself with glory.
Many of our people did nut
know that there were so large a
number of skilled musicians in the
student body. Our Edgefield orches
tra could easily win honors over
many of the orchestras in the cities.
Prof. Entzminger should feel very
proud of his accomplished perform
ers. From every standpoint the en
tertainment which was given by
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union was a pronouced success. The
door receipts amounted to ?86.50,
which will greatly aid in the prose
cution of the work of the organiza
tion. The ladies who planned and
whose untiring efforts made the en
tertainment possible have been hear
tily commended and complimented
upon the success of the entertain
ment.
A feature of the occasion was the
presentation of the prizes that were
awarded in the essay contest which
was conducted by the W. C. T. U,
under the immediate direction of
Mrs. Thomas H. Rainsford. The
first and second prizes in the alcohol
essay contest were won by Miss
Mamie Morgan, and Miss Pauline
Lewis. In the essay contest on the
use OL cigarettes the first and sec
ond prizes were won by Miss Ra
chael Simmons and Edwin Folk,
respectively. The prizes were pre
sented by B. E. Nicholson and J.
L. Mims.
