Parkhill,. commonly known as
the quarry, has every appearance
of being a hustlipg little towu.
The crusner is now in operation.
having d capacity of ten cars a
day. This viii! increase the out
put of the quarry, as the very
small stones as we'll as tie large
ones can now he utilized. There is
veritable:army of laborers en-

wages. ::
Messrs. B: L. Jones ard son are
planning to run large stable IN

uary Isl. Mr.. B. L. Jones will go
to Kentucky and buy the stock in
largelots and will ship to his sta
BILE in Atlanta, where DR.. W.
Luther Jones will be during the
season. This will not interfere
with their regular business here,
for competent man will be en-
ployed aud placed in charge of
this business. The Atlanta stable
will sell in car lots only, being a
wholesale business.
That Mr.. D. A. Tompkins has
definitely decided not to add the
third story to his building has been
a disappointment to our citizens
generally, to the uninitiated as
we'll as the memb RS tf the several
fraternsl orders of the community.
1t behooves the members of these
orders to com bine forces and pro-
vide au up-to-date lodge room for
holding their meetings. Some
of the leading members who are
identified with several of the
orders are highly in favor of ihe
erection of a building Of their own.
This would he the proper step to
take. Let the sgitatlon he kept
up.
The new pastor of our Methodist
church, Rev. Marvin Auld, will
arrive in Edgefeld the latter part
of the week, filling the regular ap-
pointm mt at Trenton on Sunday

our Methodist church i'll the even
ing. Rev. Mr.. Auld. is young
unmarried man aud will occupy
The parsonage with his mother.
During the past year he served the
Laurel street church of Rock Hill.
On his arrival in Edgefeld Rev.
Mr.. Auld will be cordially greeted,
not only bv the members of his
church but by all of tie Christian
people and the nti:e citizenship Of
this community,
We have been requested to an
nounce that the frs:, second, third,
fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh
grades of the public school will
resume regular work on Thursday,
January 7th, at nine. o'clock. 1t
is the earnest desire of Col. Bailey
that the parents see to it that their
children. attend promptly on the
opening day. The higher Glasses
or those in the collegiate depart.
ment will resume work on the 18th
of January. This delay will be
caused by moving into the new
building. The session for the
college course will run one week
longer in June in order to make up
for the delay.
1t has been repeatedly demon
strated that Fruit growing for the
marRet can be made very profita=
bic in this section. Certainly,every
home owner, Lhould he not wish to
grow fruit for aale, ought to nave
an orchard of choice trees adjoin-
ing his home. This is the season
of the year in which to place your
orders for trees for delivery in the
early part of the Lew year. And
the place to order from is nursery
that is conducted by honest men
who are jealous of their good name,
and Vho apply the golden rule 10
their dealings with men. When
you make your purchases from
such men you are not given this
ties when you ask Cor iga, nor are
you given hickory nut lreers fol-
pecans,'' &c You always ct choice,
healthy trees of tbs specific kind
