Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1908-12-09


Mr.J. Ransom Zimmerman, the
county auditor-elect moved his fam.
lily to Edgefeld Tuesday to reside
permanently in our midst. Mr.. and
Mrs. Zimmerman made many friends
when they lived among us two years
ago and they are being warmly well
coined since their return.
Since our last issue was published
the writer has received "a letter
from Miss Mary T. Nance, president
Of the State School Improvement
Association stating that she will be
unable to visit Edgefeld county un-
til after Christmas.
The Advertiser issues a special
Christmas number this week con-
tanning sixteen seven-column pages,
which is the largest paper, ever issu-
ed in Edgefeld. The paper is two
days late on account of the indispo-
sition of faithful and efficient
member of our force.
Mr.. G. E. May, the very alert
and active mayor of our town, is be-
ing very generally commended for
waging an aggressive war against
the blind tigers. A few more .s75
fines or thirty-day sentences on the
county changing will stop them,
/, Mr.. J. w. Reese, who possesses
very decided mechanical talent, re-
Gently invented an attachment for
an ordinary monkey-wrench which
when applied converts it into
a pipe wrench. The attachment is
very simple, yet it does the work of
a pipe-wrench prfectly. Mr.. Reese
has made application for patent for
his device, which should sell very
readily when placed on the market.
AS DR.. d. A. J. Bell says in his
letter from Parksville this week, The
Advertiser has not yet gone to the
poor house" because it refuses to
advertise intoxicating liquor. On
the contrary, this newspaper is en-
loving a fuller measure of prosperity
now than at any former time since
the present editor assumed its man
agement nearly seven years ago.
The advertising; patronage is larger
and our subscription list is steadily
growing.
Mr.. Geo. F. Minis is Edgefeld's
most enterprising citizen. He has
already placed 1909 calendars on the
market that are beautifully adorned
with photographs of local views.
These dainty little calendars are
real works of art, and sell for only
fifteen cents. Mr.. Minis also has
a large assortmet of.post cards con-
tanning local views, His cards
containing the monument recently
erected by the u. d. C.'s are partic-
uiarly good. Every Daughter and
every veteran should have one of
these cards displayed on their man
tel.
