Exhibit of Majestic Ranges One of the most attractive exhib its at the oounty fair, one that al ways pleased the ladies as they passed, was that of the celebrated Majestic ranges which are sold by Messrs. Jones & Son. No kitchen is .complete without a modern range and there are no ranges on the mar ket that are superior to the Majestic. Dozens of ladies in Edgefield and vicinity are singing the praises of the Majestic ranges. The exhibit at the fair was very creditable and was generally admired.

Jamison, the super intendent of the Connie Maxwell Orphanage, stating that only $439 of the $900 pledged by the Edge field association for the support of the orphanage for the current year has been paid up to this time. The pastors in the. association should take a collection at once for the or phanage and send it to Dr. Jamison in order that our association may meet its pledge. As tho convention al year closes November 30, there are but ten days left. Prompt action should be taken by all of the church es. ?From the abundant harvest which our people have reaped let the orphans be generously support ed. O. Sheppard, Moderator. Bright, Sweet-Spirited Contest ants. Mrs. K. L. Norris, the lady from Jacksonville, Fla., who is managing The Advertiser's contest, says she has never in her experience of five years had brighter, more amiable or sweeter spirited contestants than those who have entered our contest. It is always a pleasure for her to greet them in the office. The con test which The Advertiser conduct ed so successfully three years ago was exceedingly pleasant from start to finish. The young ladies then, just as the contestants now, found much real pleasure in their work. When the end came there were ne heart-aches or wounded feelings. They were then all rewarded in pro portion to the work they did, and that will be the case iu this contest. Every young lady who enters the contest and does active work to the close will receive a prize which she will value all along down through the years, being a pleasant reminder of The Advertiser's contest.
