Deposit Your Money.

Every man who has surplus
dollar should deposit it in one of
the banks. Start bank account, no
matter how small it may be-. and
you will feel better and you will be
richer. The banks are glad to have
even the smallest deposits. They
pay interest and you the farmer,
who has nothing to do but to watch
the crop grow will be kept busy
seeing your bank account grow.
Money on deposit is the safest in
vestment that can be made. All the
stock of the bank, and every stock
holder is personally liable for it.
The main thing for you to do is to
make the deposits and take the
proper receipts for it when your
baggage is checked for a higher
and better financial standing. To
have bank account on the right
side of the ledger is the best thing
on this earth-except a good wife,

time been unable to gct.-Abbeville

Two Valuable Lessons.

a certain Johnston business man
while in conversation with the wri-
ter q few days ago remarked that a
great number of farmers who reside
in the eastern part of the county
have money deposited in bank at
interest, and, said he, almost with
out a single exception these farmers
grow sufficient corn to supply their
farms. Not only do these men run
their farms without buying west
ern corn but they seldom go to
town without carrying something
to sell.
From the statement of the john
ston business man the average far
mer should learn two lessons: First,
the only road to success and fnan-
cial independence is growing suffi-
cient corn each year to supply the
farm, instead of making cotton
with which to huy western meat
and corn. Second, raise stock and
diversity the crops in order to have
something available for market
during the entire twelve months of
the year.

A Very Strong Paper.

The Advertiser cheerfully gives
space this week to very able paper
entitled THE B. Y. p. U. in the
Church" that was read by Mr.. d.
Nixon Dorm, son of Mr.. L.. F.
Dorm, before the union meeting of
the third division of the Edgefeld
Baptist Association, held recently
at Parksville. We are greatly pleas
ed to see and know that MIR. Dorm
has become actively identified with
the work of his church. The labor
ers are too few for young man of
such attainments to remain idle.
Besides being richly endowed by
nature young Mr.. Dorm is a full
graduate of Furman university, and
is therefore fitted for leadership and
for welding a countrywide infu-
.ence. We trust that Mr.. Dorm will
prepare another paper for the union
meeting to be held at Red Oak
Grove in May. We shall be glad to
publish it also for the benefit of the
cause.

Miss Nance at the Limestone
School.

Pleasant Lane, February It'll,
We all had Miss Nance, that yec.'
lovely and intelligent lady with us
Tuesday, February End, 1909. Our
school house was crowded with not
only the patrons, trustees. teachers
and children of our school, but we
had two other schools to join us on
that day. A day we shall always
keep fresh in our minds, for Miss
Nance charmed the whole crowd.>
She gave us splendid talk on edu-
cation, telling us a great number of
things we should do to improve our
school, and said we should by all
means have fine High School here
in such pretty location.
I do wish they would follow her
advice and soon have one. Hurry
back Miss Nance to see us, and |
hope when we look into your bright
face again we shall have carried out
all of these plans and not dreamed
them.

Visit From a Veteran.

There came inso our Office last
week an aged citizen from the
southwestern portion. of the county
whom we had never seen before.
However, the conversation had not
proceeded very far before we were
fast friends. The visitor was Mr..
w. A. Howle who served in the
Confederate army in the company
with the father of the writer. AS is
the : case with all veterans, Mr..
Howle's chief delight is to relate
wartime experiences and depict
camp fire scenes. His kindly refer
ences to our father soon won the
writer's affection. Mr.. Howle said
he went to the front with the first
company that left this county
Company 1. under command of
Capt. Tillman Clark and remained
in active service four years and
four months. He fought from Bull
Run to Bentonsville./ Not many
years after the war Mr.. Howle met
twenty-three members Nof his old
company at meeting of the Edge
field association, while now there
are probably less than dozen liv-
ing. Some of the survivors, besides
Mr.. Howle, being Capt. Gus White,
Mr.. J. N. Fair, Mr.. Sam Roper,
Mr.. F. P. Walker and Mr.. E. G.
Morgan.
The writer feels an affectionate
interest in all Confederate veterans
wherever found, but the survivors
of old company 1 occupy first place
in our affections.

Plant Shade Trees.

Every home, whether located in
city, town or country, is made more
attractive and rendered more valua-
BILE by being surrounded by beauti-
full shade trees. When the small
cost of transplanting trees isa taken
into consideration it is surprising
how many treeless homes are found.
A home owner with the assistance
of two field hands can go into the
forest, dig up and transplant doz-
en- choice oaks in a day, which in
after years will add untold beauty
and comfort to the home besides en-
HANGING its value several hundred
dollars. Spend just one day in plant
ing shade trees. Better do it now
before the season passes and. the
growth of another twelve months

ors Mr.. j. c. Morgan, the
Former Superintendent.

"a beautiful tribute was paid
yesterday by the Parksville Sunday
school to ex-superintendent j. G.

perintendent recognized Rev. l.. B.
White, who in very beautiful and
appropriate words presented Mr.
Morgan a beautiful solid gold
watch fob with locket attached, on
one side of which is engraved u. c..
M. Superintendent Parksville, S. S.
for 80 years.. and on the other side,
presented by Parksville, S. c.,

This is beautiful token, costing
12 or Is dollars, to worthy broth
er who for 80 gears, through cold
and heat, through discouragements
as well as prosperity, has gone in
and out before the school and COM
munity and maintained his Chris
tian integrity.
/ thought how much better it is
to hand Mr.. Morgan these beauti-
full bouquets during life, when he
can know how he is appreciated
than to place them upon a new
made mound after he shall have
passed away. If we have flowers,
had we not better present them
during life?

Having enjoyed a mild winter SC
far, the weather of last week, re

although the song of the bird heard
on warm sunny mornings seemed
TO prophesy an early spring.

as the great pleasure Of hearing
Miss Mary T. Nance lecture to Nc.

Quite an appreciative audience

the hearts of every one; and the
influence of it be felt long years

may her future be crowned with
the brightest success.

Should Respond Generously.

An appeal has been made to the
banks of the state for contributions
to the INDECENT family of the brave
policeman who lost his life in an at
tempt to arrest a professional safe
cracker in Laurens last week. To
this appeal the banks should respond
generously, as many citizens have
done. The ranks of safe-crackers
can be reduced by alertness and
proper discharge of duty on thc;
part of the officers of the law, and
contributing to SO worthy cause
as the one above referred to will in
spire and encourage these officers in
the discharge of duty.
