Order of March For The Parade Friday. Band Wagon, Trades Display, Child's Rigs, School Wagons, Horseback Riders, Rigs, Floats. Bring The Children. There are a large number of pa rents who are so situated that they can not take their children to the large fairs in the cities but they can come to Edgefield for a day. It will afford them a day of pleasure that will be long remembered. After in specting all departments of the fair a few hours spent in the midway will be an oasis in their young lives. Bring all the children at least one <?ay. Corn Contest Reports. Reports are coming in from The Advertiser's corn contest. Owing to injury to corn by the prolonged drought in some sections some of Ihe contestants have not had tbeir corn officially measured. As soon as all of the reports are in the cash prizes will be awarded and the re sult announced. Some have not har vested their corn yet, but will make A report this week or next. Card of Thanks. I take this means of thanking my friends for the kindness which they have bestowed upon us during the late illness of my wife. In ways too numerous to mention friends and neighbors ministered to us I have not words t ? express my heartfelt appre ciation. I shall ever be grateful to them and whenever opportunity pre sents will endeavor to return the kindness. t I N. L. Brunson. Grows Very Fine Potatoes. The finest Irish potatoes that we have teen in a long time were from the garden of Mrs. Arthur Brimson. She never fails to grow fine pota toes, it matters not how dry or wet, hot or cold it may be. She has promised to write down on paper for us her method of growing po tatoes. By studying it and putting it into actual practice we hope, at least in the matter of potatoes, to live at home-something we have .not been doing heretofore. Mrs. Brunson has been making more po tatoes from two pucks than we have from two bushels. Interest in Contest Increases. Interest in The Advertiser's con tent steadily increases. The young ladies are attracted by the prizes, and they know too that the contest will be impartially conducted from start to finish. Some of the young ladies who entered ourcoutest three years ago are now among the most enhusiastic contestants which is a high endorsement of The Advert?s er contests. They were pleased with the manner in which the contest was conducted three years ago and were also pleased with the prizes they were awarded them. The Choral Club. The Choral club met Friday evening al the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Mims instead of in the auditorium as tho heating pl int of the High School building is under going repairs. Miss Harris met with the class and rendered valuable as sistance. There should be an in crease in the membership of the club. An unusual opportunity for developing the vocal talent is pre sented to Edgefield. Will they im prove it or allow the opportunity to pass? It ih very earnestly desired by the officers of the club that all .of the members attend everj meet ing. The next meeting will be an nounced several days in advance anu all of the members and those who would like to join the club are urged to be present. Time to Sow Oats. If oats have not already been .sown no time should be lost in get ting them in. If they are intended for hav or to ba fed in the straw, it will be well to sow a peck of hairy vetch to the acre with the oats. The vetch will increase the yield and the quality of the hay. The sow ing of wheat in the mountain and in the Piedmont sections has been j in order for the last two weeks; bu; in the lower part of the State there is yet time to sow. However, it will be better to get it in by the middle of the month even in this section. Sow not less than a bushel per acre, and if it is a large-grained variety, five pecks will be better. Wherever possible, put it in with a grain drill, and sow with it from 300 pounds per acre of 16 per cent acid phosphate or 12-4 bone and potash.-Progressive Farmer. Ouzts-Kemp. The Advertiser acknowlelgei with pleasure the receipt of the fol lowing invitation whioh announce the approaching marriage of two widely beloved young people of the Mountain Creek section. "Mr. and Mrs. James Tolber Ouzts request the pleasure of you company at the marriage of thei daughter, Tabbie, to Mr. J. D Kemp, on the evening of Thursday the twentieth of November at eighl o'clock, at their home, Kirksey, South Carolina." Publie Sales Monday. The attendance upon the Master's sales Monday were larger thar usual, the people being attracted bj several traots of valuable land. Ai will beshownby the following salei land commanded a good price The 0. J. P rince tract of 4( acres, was bought bought by Mr Lev?is Hammond for $700. The McKie tract, 279 acrei, was purchased by Mr. Henry McKie, for $4.300. The Collins land near the Key bridge, 195 acres, bought by the Farmers Bank for $600. The Burckhalter tract, near Moul trie's mill, 216 acres, bought by W. T. Reel for $1,685. Mow About Mr. Farmer. Doesy?ur wife leave the sewing machine ont in the yard over night in a rain atorm. The inquiry sounds absurd, of course, and yet one ot our exchanges puts the matter very forcibly when it compares such au imaginary proceeding to what is actually happening on thousands oi Southern farms. We quote: "Whit would a rnan say to his wife if she were to leave her $5C sewing-nnohine out in the yard over night in a rain storm? Well he would say a plenty if she per sisted in leaving it out in the weath er. And yet the same lord of crea tion has left his farm machinery standing in the fence corner. Many of these cost more than a sewing machine. What should your wife, Mr. Farmer, do to you? She should get a rolling pin after you and make yoe house them now."-The Pro gressive Farmer. Death of Mrs. N L. Brunson. For the third time in a few years the family of our friend and neigh bor Mr. N. L. Brunson has been called upon to pass under the rod of bereavement and this time is the most beloved of the fimily, the wife and toother. Mrs. Brunson was Miss Mary Fair befoie her marriage to Mr. Brunson and was another who lived through the struggle of the Civil war, her hus band being a veteran of the Lost Cause. The only child of this fami ly, Miss Genie Brunson, died about three years ago, and there is now but one member of this once happy circle. They were father and moth er to other members of their fami ly, having reared from infancy Frank Fair no v of Atlanta, and for many years Misses Mary and Kel lah Fair were members of this family. Mrs. Brunson was greatly be loved in Edgefield and by all who knew her. She was for mnny years a member of the Baptist church hete, and took an active interest in all those things which evidence the Christian spirit. She was not strong, and was therefore un ible to be as actively identified with church affairs as some, but her heart was in every endeavor for the uplift of the community. Her remains were laid to rest in the village cemetery amid a large concourse uf friends and relatives. The funeral service was conducted by Dr. M. D. Jeffries, her pastor. Was There Ever a Boy Who Didn't? If the Massachusetts judge who compels boys to repair the damage done by carving or writing: their initials and names on doors and walls succeeds in breaking the prac tice, he deserves to have his own name carved on the scroll of fame. Before George Washington cat dou n the cherry tree he was scrib ling 4 G. W." all around tho prem ises. Little Julius Caesar probably did i he same thing, and before Cad mus brought along initials with the alphabet the boys probably cut symbols into the soft stone or marked np the walls when a cave was the paternal iransion. / Whar imp is it that impels a boy to write his initials on walls, doors, or carvu them on trees.-Baltimore Sun.
