Fewer Gallons; Wears Longer.
On his trip to the north some
months ago, Mr.. R. L. Dunovapt
displayed splendid taste in the
selection of the large stock of
Christmas goods for The Penn
Drug Store. One is amazed at the
beauty, great variety, and cheap
ness Of tee large stock of holiday
goods that are to be seen at this
store, which has for more than q
generation been famous for it's
matchless Christmas merchandise.
Look at the pretty, things in the
window of the Penn Drug Store.
The exquisitely beautiful toilet
and manicure set, surpasses any
thing heretofore brought to Edge
field. Some Edgefeld young man
will surely procure it at once for
his lady-love.

Whathas become of the old time
corn shucking at which the neigh
bors on some moonlight night
would gather around the corn pile
of farmer and shuck corn, sing
rag-time songs, tell yarns and, with
more play than work, have a great
time generally? Then after. the
shucking was finished all were bid
den gather around g. long table
where the proverbial "before the
war" hospitality prevailed, We do
not hear of them anymore. Have
they grown into disfavor :? Prohs-
bly, the farmers plant, and conse-
quently make, 30 little corn that
they do not want their neighbors
to see their Scrap. We should
like SO much to attend one of these
unique neighborhood gatherings
again. 1t would carry Us back
many, many, very many years
when we were bare-footed boy.

Despite the cold everything was
made ready by Mr.. and Mrs. Peak
on Friday evening last for the re-
ception given to the half a hum
dred Sunbeams, the entire mem-
bership being out in full force.
They went expecting a good time
and verify they were not dlsap-
pointed. These little men and
little women had the freedom Of
the spacious home of Mr.. and Mrs.
J. W.. Peak and without lei or
hindrance they romped and played
many games and ate uice things to
their hearts content. Rev. G. E.
Burts was the largest sunbeam
present and he was also the jolliest
and youngest of the boys. He is
very fond of children and young
people and is as greatly beloved by
them as by the older people. Mr..
and Mrs. Peak have the sincere
thanks of the sunbeams for the
evenings pleasure which will be
long remembered by all who were
so fortunate as to be present.

Capt. W. H. Bruneon, the eff
cient postmaster at Edgefeld, says
that there is nothing like printer'p
ink as means of advertising.
Heretofore when mail contracts
were to be let in this county Capt.
Brunson, acting under the direc-
tion of the postal authorities,
would have notices posted in very
conspicuous places, but very few
persons would put in bids. This
year, however, the newspapers ex-
plotted the contracts, giving GER
tain facts in connection Herewith,
and so great has been the number
of bids filed that a second supply
of bonds had to be ordered. Thi.
is practical illustration of the
often repeated fact that the most
effective means of catching the
eyes and ears of the people in g
way that brings about visible and
tangible results is through the
newspapers. Were it not true,mil
liors of dollars would not be spent
annually for newspaper ad d1artis.

to be the shrewdaat business mer
