Consider my contract renewed for
another year." This ls from one
of our regular advertisers, which
shows the drawing power of adver-
tisements placed in our columns.
Mr.. J. w. Pearce has been upen-
ding several days in Edgefeld
with his sister, Mrs. ]. H. Cante-
lou. For mum bar of years prior
to its recent dissolution Mr.. Pearce
was head salesman Of the firm Of
Coskery & Hunter, of Augusta.
He is now employed by the new
firm, t. Coskery, Jr., & Co.
One of the most enjoyable So
cial functions of the season was
the "hirch" party given by Mise
LIME Minis on Friday evening last.
The liat of guests embraced nearly
all of Edgefield's young people.
There were seven tables and around
each sat four players. Although
most of than were novices at the
game many played with surprising
adeptness. After all were surfeited
with the games, delightful refresh
ments were served. The hours of
the evening were very pleasantly
spent by all present.
The appointment of Capt. W. II.
Brunson as postmaster of Edge
| field which was sent to the senate
about week ago was confirmed on
Friday last. This gallant survivor
Of the Lost Cause whose scars bear
witness to the prominent and ac-
tive part he took in the defense oi
honor, home and country can now
rest upon his oars. There is no
longer danger of bis being sup
planted b. ittii2a!a Cox, Crum or
some other dusky chum of Teddy'a
for at least two or more years.

cluded from Edgefeld on Sunday
last by quarantine regulations.
He, of course, did it so be would
not be deprived the pleasure Of
a visit to tQ.hfs hftss> sister, Mrs. W. p
7I65g5urn, with whom he spent the
minor part of the day but the ma
jor part he spent with--sone-
body's else sister.
Although reared in the quiet
easy-going village of Edgefeld.
"the loveliest of the plain" Mr..
J. Frank Fair on entering the
busy marts Of Atlanta several years
ago adapted himself to the con-
ditions as he found them, imbib.
Jug freely the restless, go-ahead.
,.very-man-for-himself spirit that
obtains there. Since accepting
his first position in the Gate City
his course has been one Of advance
ment and promotion, his last
achievement being the promotion
to the position of secretary and
treasurer, also a director, of the
concern for which he is working.
Frank richly deserves this and
more. Mark it, he has not yet
reached the meridian of his career
in the commercial world. When
an Edgefeld boy sets his head he
is going to the top of the ladder
and all others msy as we'll stanc
aside.
