f?dgcfir?d leerte. Hand jPainted China. What can be more dainty or ap propriate as a Christmas gift than a piece of white and gold hand painted china or a little water ?color picture? Don't wait for the Christ mas rush bat send your orders to Miss Eliza Mims. A Word of Warning. Oar handsome young friend Jun ios Bailey of Johnston who graduat ed from the Newberry college last summer is now making business (?) trips to Edgefield on Sunday after noon, and if he doesn't mind some of the young men in this part of the country will put him out bf busi ness. Already we have heard one say, "Junius Bailey had better shin ny on his own side." Knowing the ?reat danger our young friend is in, we issue this friendly word of warr ing. B. M. I. Opening. Greenwood, Sept. 26.-Bailey Military Institute, South Carolina's newest educational institution, be gan its first ."session yesterday with every available room in the bar racks occupied. Many applications had to be rejected. The school is headed by Col. F. N. K. Bailey, formerly of the S. C. C. I. of Edge field, and the people of this city see a bright future for this institution. The school's equipment is the most modern in the state. It is situated on a ten-aore campus on one of the prettiest sites in the city. Two large and handsome brick buildings, bar racks, and administration building constitute the school's splendid equipment. The Woodward Lumber Com pany. An old and very reliable lumber ?company of Augusta asks for a share of the patronage of the people of this section. We refer to the Woodward Lumber Company which has made a splendid reputation for thoroughly reliable dealing. It is equipped wich the most modern ma chinery and tarns out the most beau tifully finished material of every kind that is used in building of all kinds. They will make estimates and submit prices if you will make your wants kn own fe) them either in perron or by mail. The men at the head of this large establishment have had long years of experienoe and are fitted for serving the pub lie to the best possible advantage. A Satisfactory Cotton Market. Already cotton is being hauled a long distance to Edgefield. Before the season is over we expect to see the staple brought 20 miles and more to this market. After work ing hard all the year, it behooves the cotton grower to sell where he can realize the most for the product ?of his labor. Bring your cotton to Edgefield as long as it is a good market, and when the market here falls short of what it should be then carry your cotton elsewhere. But farmers who have sold cotton both at Edgefield and ocher places this season do not fail tu say they are pleased with the price paid by the buyers at this place. There is no doubt that Edgefield is giving the cotton growers a good market this fall. J. Willie Levy Company. We call the attention of our read ers this week to the new advertise ment of the J. Willie Levy Compa ny of Augusta in which this popu lar storo tells its Edgefield friends of its readiness in all departments to serve them. In addition to a well selected stock of the celebrated "High Art" clothing for men and boys, the Levy store has a well GQ?ipped ladies' department OD its second floor that is second to none in Augusta. The ladies are not only invited to visit this department to see the most stylish garments of the season but they are invited to maka the Levy store their shopping head quarters while in the city. We have always found the J. Willie Levy Company to be thoroughly dependa ble in every respect. Large Class in Music. The large music class of the Hisrh School is a substantial compliment to Miss Marcie Gwaltney, the mu sic teacher of the school. Notwith standing the fact that there are sev eral private schools in town that receive pupils at a lower rate than the price fixed by the trustees for the High School, Miss Gwaltney has as many girls as she can teach. The trustees were fortunate in se curing the service of so talented a teacher as Miss Gwaltney. We make the statement without fear of suc cessful contradiction that the fe male colleges of the state have no more superior musical talent than the head of the music department of the Edgefield High Sohool. Select Seats For Season. The diagram of seats in opera house for the lyceum course will be placed at Penn & Holstein's driig store from Saturday October 4th. All parties who have agreed to take season tickets please call.at the above named store and select tbeir tickets. The first to call will get the choice of seats. T. J. Lyon. For committee. Illustrated Talks. Beginning with Thursday even ing of this week, Rev. J. R. Walker will until further notice give illus trated talks at the Methodist church every Thursday evening on his trip abroad last summer. These interest ing talks will be made a part of the regular weekly prayer-meeting ser vice. Doubtless a" large number of persons will go to the Methodist church to hear these illustrated talks. Arrived Last Night. Rev. T. B. LaDham arrived last night in Edgeneld, having left his far-away home in Medina, Ohio, as soon as he received the announce ment of the death of his mother, Mrs. Hattie Lanham, early Sunday morning. He Wfuld have reached Edge6eld Monday night had he not missed connection in Cincinnati. Mr. Lanham's friends have greeted him very affectionately and deeply regret that so9ad a-mission brought him. Seriously Injured by Fall. The Edgefield friends of ?Mr. Johu T. Nicholson were deeply pained to hear of his serious injury last week. While walking from his home to Ridge Spring he fell while in the act of stepping across a ditch, fracturing his hip. It is greatly feared that he will never be able to walk again. We are de lighted to report however tLat he is resting comfortably and that his condition is somewhat improved. _ Death Removes a Prominent Edgefield Citizen. The sudden death of Mr. James U. Rives at his home at 8:30 o'clock Monday night was a great shock to the community. His friends knew that he had been somewhat indis posed for a week or more but did not suspect that his disability was of a serious nature. He was at his store a part of Monday and went driving in the afternoon. Surely, this emphasizes the fact that 'In the midst of life we are in death." Mr. Rives was born and reared near Montgomery and spent his ear ly life in Alabama. When he first came to South Carolina he looated in Columbia and was for a number of years connected with one of the largest dry goods establishments in the capital city. Later he moved to Aiken and embarked in the mercan tile business there very successfully for a number of years. About five years ago he and his younger broth er, Mr. E. S. Rives, came to Edge field and purchased the dry goods business of the lamented James M. Cobb and have, since coming to Edgefield, by dint of hard work and close application to business, steadi ly increased the volume of their dry goods business. It is probable that this unceasing application, day af ter day and sometimes far into the night, caused Mr. Rives' physical breakdown. Mr. Rives was not a self-centered or self-seeking man. On the contra ry, he was generous and public spirited, being willing to bear his share of the community's burdens, whether these pertained to the maintenance of the school, churches or in the advancements of the town's interests materially. Realizing that he was always willing to spend and be spent for the community's wel fare, the people of his ward elected him a member of the town council two years ago, and in that capacity, as well as in every other where duty called him, Mr. Rives was loyal and faithful in the discharge of duty as he saw it. Being genial and affable in man ner, .Mr. Rives rapidly made friends after locating here, and while he still loved Aiken and her people, which was quite natural, yet he was loyal to Edgefield. This was now his home and he endeavored to be helpful in every way possible. He was a n.graber of the Baptist church from early manhood, bringing his membership with him when he came to lildgefield. The funeral will take place in Aiken tb-day at one o'clock, his pastor, Dr. M. D. Jeffries conducting the funeral. Other friends will accompany the family to Aiken. Mr. Rives was in the 53td year of his age, and is survived by his wue, four daughters, Mrs. J. H. Nicholson, Misses Maude, Gladys and Elizabeth Rives, one sister, M rs. Ora Myers, of Aiken, and two brothers, E. S. and G. J. Rives, the latter being a.resident of Greenville. 3 THE COR Coi Dri one ADD AN AIR OF i refined.
