Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1913-10-01
LOCAL AND PERSONAL.

Miss Josie Sheppard has entered
upon her duties as teacher IN a
graded school at Ward.
Misses Elizabeth and June Rains
ford returned to Columbia last Wed
nesday to resume their studies at
the College for Women.
Miss Lillian Dess, charming
young lady from Augusta, was the
guest of Miss Grace Dobson several
days last week.
DR.. F. Percy Byrd came over
from Batesburg and spent Sunday
here with bis brothers, Mr.. w. A.
Byrd and DR.. J. S. Byrd.
Some days now cotton wagons are
almost as numerous on the public
square as fertilizer wagons were In
the spring.
Mr.. ]. S. Smith is at home again
after spending long enough in
Washington to get the Wilson ad-
1pinistration started off properly.
Miss Pauline Byrd will leave Fri
day for Laurens to teach for the en-
suing session the same school she
taught last year. Her services as
teacher gave entire satisfaction.
Another evidence OF the increas-
ing popularity of the Edge6eld cot
ton market is found in the receipts
here last week. The cotton weigher's
figures went up by leaps and bounds.
MIR. Jesse F. QUITS, the efficient
manager of the big store at QUITS
willie. was in Edgefeld on business
1. Saturday. Every fall he sells iarge
quantity of cotton seed to tn MIL
here and then makes heavy pur-
chases of meal and hulls.
The Advertiser inadvertently
overlooked last week the return of
M7. Francis Sheppard to The CiLa-
del. Mr. Ira Armfeid, hand
some young brother of Mr.. Roy
.Arm6eld, came by Edgeield while
en- route TO Charleston to enter
upon his Junior year at The Citadel.
Mr.. Julian Key came over from
Columbia and spent the weekend
here with his parents, Mr: and Mrs.
G. II. Key. We are inclined to the
belief, however, that the parental
roof is not the sole attraction in
EdgeGeld for this exemplary young
man. But who can blame him?
Doesn't it make farmer smile to
receive around $50 for a bale of cot
ton and the seed from the bale. But
who can blame him? 1t makes the
merchants and doctors smile about
as broadly as it does the farmer. The
more cash farmers receive, the more
others in turn receive.
Miss Sophie Lowrey, of Edgefeld,
S. c., arrived in Buchanan Sunday,
and will be found in the millinery
department at Strickland Bros, at
which place she made such sue
cess last season. She would be pleas
ed to have her friends call upon her
at that place, Buchanan (Ga)
Tribune.
Who said Mrs. Pankhurst will be
invited to attend the state oonven-
ton of the Daughters of the Con-
federacys If she is coming, the
Daughters must let the editor of
The Advertiser know in advance SO
he can leave town or take the pre-
caution to increase his life and
fire insurance.
That new depot must be open to
receive the Daughters of the Con-
federacy who will attend the con-
vention from all parts of the state.
Unless the passenger accommoda-
tions are good at the time the con-
vention is fled, the hundred and
more ladies will go away with a
very unfavorable impression of
Edgefeld ,and who can blame them?
In this issue will be An announce
ment of the fall opening of the
Johnston Millinery Store which is
conducted at Johnston by Mrs. M.
e. Norris. She has made large pur-
chases of fall hats and trimmings
and invites the ladies of every part
of the county to call at Johnston
Millinery Store and inspect the sty-
lish fall millinery which is now on
display.
Merchants should not worry be-
