Our good friend, D. P. Boone,
took our people by surprise when
he slipped away last Wednesday
and claimed one of Meriwether's
fairest maidens as his bride. Mr.,
Boone and Miss Kate Williams,
daughter of Mr.. John r. Williams,
were married Wednesday afternoon
by Rev. P. B. Lanham at his. home
near Ropers. The bride is charm
ing young woman who is greatly
beloved by large circle of friends.
She is a niece Of Messrs. E. J. and
j. w. Mundy. Mr.. Boone is sue
cessful farmer and an exemplary
citizen, the type of man of which
every community stands in need.
The groom and the editor Of The

has always existed a warm friend
ship. We wish our friends many

Advertiser ents Reach the Peo-
pie.

The Advertisers Want adver-
tisements bring satisfactory results.
Several weeks ago gentleman ad-
vertised four mules for sale IN our
columns at one time. In a few days
q man came oyer from Georgia and
bought all four of the mules, stating
to the owner that he saw his adver-
tisement in The Advertiser. The
reason advertising in our columns
pays is because of our large circu!a-
tion. The Advertiser has weekly
circulation of about 1900 in the
county and about 200 out of the
county, reaching in all more than
1000 readers every week. This
circulation is far above the average
of weekly papers.

Portrait OF Dr.. c. E. Burts.

Yesterday Miss Eliza Minis for
warded to Columbia large oil por-
trait of Or. 9. E. l5urts which was
ordered by the Philathea class of
the First Baptist church to be hung
in the new Sunday school auditori-
nm. Those who have seen this life
life PORTRAIT have pronounced it the
piece de resistance of Miss Minis
productions. 1t is more than per-
feet likeness of DR.. Burts. Through
her inherent gifts as an artist Miss
Minis has made his features reflect
his strength of character and the
force of his personality. Instead of
being merely a handsome picture,
faultless likeness of the splendid
subject, it is so true to nature that
in viewing it one catches an inspi-
ration akin to that experienced as a
result of personal contact with DIR.
G. E. Burts. Miss Minis has never
sent finer portrait from her studio.
1t would add to the renown of a
celebrity who has gained much
wider publicity than has Edgefeld's
artist who prefers to remain with
loved ones under the ancestral roof
rather than give full play to her
talent in larger fields.

Mirrors, Marble and Mahogany:

The handsome new soda fountain
that has just been installed by
Penn & Holstein Is an exceedingly
artistic assembling of French plate
mirrors, imported marble and hand
carved mahogany. As it stands out
aGaint the white background on the
one side and reflected by the large
mirror on the other, the beholder
can not do otherwise than admire
its simple, dignifed. classic beauty.
Such fountain would do credit to a
drug store of any city. 1t is of the
front-draft design and that portion
from which the ice-cold drinks are
drawn is as sanitary as it is possible
for science and mechanical skill to
make it. In the matter of artistic.
up to the minute soda fountains,
Edgefield is in class with Colum-
bia, Augusta and Atlanta-and the
best of it all is the drinks here are
only five a glass.

March 5. Mr.. Lake writes that they
are resting but his idea of resting
aid ours differ widely. Since he
has been studying the Chinese Ian
guage he seems to have forgotten
some English definitions. He preach
Q in Clifton Springs last Sunday
and will preach in Brooklyn next
Sunday, and The Advertiser will
stake all it's worth that Mr.. and
Mrs. Lake will be hail fellows down
Ia Clina Town for several days be-
fore sailing, rather than enjoy the
sights on Broadway and Fifth Ave
nue.He will call preaching in Brook
lyn and in China Town two or three
times day resting.
As we write these lines we are
deeply saddened and greatly de-
..ressed over the departure of John
Lake and his beloved wife. It's their
unselishness and stern devotion to
what they conceive to be their duty
that causes them to leave us SIX
months before the expiration Of their
furlough or rest" period. AS We feel
sure there are scores and scores who
regret their departure, The Adver-
tiser suggests that Mr.. aud Mrs.
Lakes friends shower them with
letters and postalS, sending parting
greetings and wishing them a bon
voyage. Do you not think it would
delight their hearts TO receive let
lers and postals from friends al
over the county? Reading them
over and over again while on the
high seas would break the mouoto-
ny Of the voyage. If you are to be
. ong the thoughtful relatives and
trienus who participate in the
shower" of greetings, you will
have to write at once, using tie

Visit From Airship.

The people around Golfers,
Meriwether, Morgana and Clark's
Hill witnessed a novel sight last
week. An airshlp came up from Au-
gust ia and scared above these com
munitles for early an hour. MIR.
Henry McKie watched it from his
home for some time as it came and
went in it's noiseless fight. Accord
ing to Mr.. McKie's estimate, this
artificial bird was about 1900 feet
from terra tirma. And you know
Henry McKie always has a good,
steady, clear vision. Unlike some
poor fellows, he never sees two

To Quarterback Pogue Of the
Illinois university eleven was
granted the chance of his football
lifetime when the Illinois met
Chicago before a crowd of 10000
enthusiasts-and Pogue grasped
1t. aI1b2
The game was young, scarce
three minutes old; Chicago, had
tried in vain to pierce the ILL.,,
nois line and had to punt. Pogue,
caught the oval off his 3O1yard
line and behind splendid, quickly
formed interference, he lodged,
squirmed. slipped and sprinted
down field In a meteoric dash of
20 yards for the first touchdown
OF the game-and the only one
made by his team. sas
Pogueis run was the only
chance the Illinois rooters had to
cheer. 1t had telling effect, !
however, upsetting the Chicago
team throughout the first half.

In hurting the oval Bfllmeyer
has NO equal on the team, and is
generally called upon for the for
ward pass. Quarterback Schlat-
ter is the punter OF the eleven,
and his kicking leaves little to
be wished for. Some of his punts

and most of them averaged about
fifty.
Captain Beck is back at his
