Home Print Paper.
The Change will be Made Ii Next
Weeks Paper-A Word to Corr
respondents.

Beginning next week The ADVERTIS
I1R will be an all home print newspaper.
Demand for advertising space has made
this necessary. THE ADVERTISER will
of course be improved-not merely by
being all "home-print" but because it
will print the news and more of it.
Some all "home-print' papers that
boast loudest contain local and county
news, with exceeding little editorial,
but The ADVERTISER will continue to
print the news of the State and the
world.
Moreover THE ADVERTISER will
print Il first rate continued story in
weekly installments.
THE ADVERTISER hopes hereafter
that its correspondents will send the
news promptly. Write the news briefly
and without unnecessary words but
write all the news. For example it is
better English to say that "Mr. Blank
and Miss Monk were married Sunday"
than that "Mr. Blank and Miss Monk
we're united in the holy bonds of ma
trimony last Sunday" and the very same
information is conveyed.
The ADVERTISER again requests the
ministers over the county to send in
Church notices and Church news
Church work can be helped.by. the press
and progressive ministers everywhere
use the newspapers in their work when
yer they an.
The ADVERTISER hopes to give the
people of Laurens II better newspaper
than they ever had before and would
be glad to have the cooperation of the
of the county to this end.
In u few days THE ADVERTISER will
have an agent in the field who will be
glad to have your subscription. His
name will be announced next week.

Satisfaction.

"Clifton" flour always satisfies be-
cause it is always kept right up to the
standard - the highest standard of
purity and excellence.
"Clifton" possesses every quality es-
sential for making bread that is white,
light and sweet. The rich flavor so sell
dom found in the bread so seldom made
from ordinary fours that delicious
pure-wheat flavor is always found in
the bread made from "Clifton," which
is no ordinary flour, as most people
know.
"Clifton" flour is mi led from the
pick of the finest grown milled scienti-
iically, with the best of skill and ma
chinery in every detail of it's manufac-
ture.
Clifton is easily a leader and is
standing the test of thousands of fam
les. If you do not use "Clifton" have
your grocer send you a sack. The sat
isfaction experienced by many Gus
toners is assured.

ON OCTOBER 10TH.
Laurens Lyceum Course
will Open on That. Date.
Lectures and Entertainment for the
SeasOn-Some Splendid Book
ings for the Season.

Laurens people will again have a SO.
ries OF excellent entertainments and
lectures this winter under the auspices
of the Laurens Lyceum association.
A sufficient number of gentleman
have pledged themselves to support
the course to make 1T q certainty and
the bookings have been made but 1t is
urged that others subscribe. 1t should
be borne in mind that this is not q
money-making scheme, hat the OBJ
ject is to elevate and educate and at
the same time entertain the people
and every person who possibly can
should aid it. The cost of a subscrip-
tion Is very little-and good citizens
who have the welfare of the town at
heart ought not grudge that assistance.
October 16, Prof. e. Benjamin An
drews, former president of Brown Uni
yersity and one of the most celebrated
men on the lecture platform will open
the season. Prof. Andrews is a learned
and eloquent man and, moreover,
among Northern men, few of great
station In life have been so fair and
generous in handling Southern ques-
tions. HIS subject will be Robert T..
Lee and 1t ought to attract a great au-
dience from the city and all over the
county as well. 1t will do the heart OF
every true friend of the South good to
to hear this lecture from a brilliant
and earnest Northern student.
December 8, e. l.. Barker, the mono
loguist will be here, to be followed on
the 9th, by l.. F. Copeland, the great
humorist. On January 9th the Dun
bar Handbell Ringers will be the at
traction. The last feature and one of
the best OF the program will be the
Chicago Glee Club on the 9th of May.
THE ADVERTISER hopes, meanwhile,
that every one who can will see Rev.
w. b. Duncan and become a sub
scriber, The cause is especially wor-
thy and the subscriber will receive far
moro than his mOneY's worth.
