is sweet benediction to every one
who comes within reach of Ter in-
fluence, has been visiting her sis
ter, Mrs. A. A. Glover, ard broth

ray of sunshine.
Do you have your mattresses
made, or have you any furniture
That needs to be upholstered? If
so, let Arthur A. Simklns, the
young colored workman who is
we'll known about town, do Che
work for you. The writer can
personally testify to his skill and
to the thoroughneEs with which
he does his work. After he has
finished with an old cast off piece
of furniture it has a new lease on
life and looks as it did the day it
loft the factory.
The ADVERTISER has lost its fair
young compositor. Some weeks
ago Miss Coy Wood, knowing that

profitable employment, decided to
learn the art. She had applied
herself very assidueusly and was
getting along swimmingly When
her aunt, Mrs. L. B. Jones, of
Ridge Spring, prevailed upon her
to come ond make the Ridge her
home. Miss Coy leaves on Friday
next. She willbe greatly missed
not only by the ADVERTISER force
but bysall of her Edgeield friends
