A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY HOME.

Some time ago the Editor of
the Southern Cultivator wrote
an article about his visit to
Marlboro County, and in his
last issue of the Cnltivator,
iii writing on the subject of
identifying country BONES, he
said: While over in Marlboro
county, S. O., we passed a coun
try home that made ones very
heart leap with joy. Here eight
miles from town, Mr.. Marvin
w. Adams has built a home
with every modern convenience.
He has telephone, electric lights,
water works, bath tubs, sewe-
rage, linen closets, china closets
bookcases and every up to date
convenience. The building it,
self is handsome with large
tall columns, and the interior
as beautiful as any Peachtree
street dwelling. We rejoiced
that Mr. Admins had the courage
to build such a home In the
country"
We are glad that the reputa-
ton Of Marlboro homes are gain
ing such enviable publicity, and
while Mr.. Adams has quite a
nodded home, yet there are
many such homes in Marlboro
County.-Editor Democrat.
