Life Insurance

The PRUDENTIAL still has the
Strength of Gibraltar. In addition
to their unusually low rates, they are
now making these rates still lower
by giving extra and free annual div
idends. Besides, they give free the
disability provision, which provides
that in case you are totally disabled
you are excused from paying the
premiums, though your insurance
goes on.
Do you know of anything on
earth as good as this for Life lnsur-
ance9 No restrictions except sui
eide for the first year. No here
after except your death and the
company's check. I don't know of
anything in life insurance as good
as this.
We have a policy which pays
your beneficiary $500 per month
for twenty years, and one that pays
the same amount as long beneh-
ciary may live.

Children's Day Observed at the
Methodist Church.

Sunday afternoon the Edeefield
Methodist church was filled to its
utmost capacity, the large congre-
CATION being attracted by the an
nouncement that Children's Day
services would be held. Having at
tended these services in the past,
the people Of Edgefeld of every
faith and order know of the pleas
ure and profit which they afford.
Mr.. B. E. Nicholson, the superin-
tendent of the Sunday school, an
nounced the program.
The general idea or theme select
ed for the exercises this year was
''The Kings Garden" and this idea
was carried out in ssthe beautiful
decorations. The chancel and altar
were beautifully decorated with cut
flowers and pot plants, forming a
beautiful background for the chill
dren who took part in the exercises.
Even the garden gate, fence and
clinging vines were arranged almost
as really as we see them in nature.
A beautiful feature of the after
noon was the christening of John
Sheppard Nicholson, the infant son
of Mr. and Mrs...B. E.Nicholson, by
the pastor, Rev. Arthur L. Gunter.
All of the children, from the
youngest to the oldest, entered into
the spirit of the occasion with real
earnestness and zest, and all of them
performed their parts we'll.

Brunson School Entertainment.

Friday night, May IL, the Brun-
son school will close with a public
entertainment, commencing at $3.50
O'Clock. An elaborate program has
been arranged and an admission fee
Of % cents for persons over u
years of age will be charged. Those
under II will be admitted free. The
money realizod from the entertain
ment will be used to improve the
school building. Before the next
session opens the building will be
remodeled and enlarged, making it
one of the best school buildings in
the county. In order to do this a
considerable sum of money will be
needed. The entertainment Friday
night will be high class and the mis-
cellaneous program will afford pleas
ant diversion for all. The Advertis-
er man hopes to be one of the great
throng and we expect to see the
good people Of the Cleora section,
who are standing squarely behind
theirschool, realize the sum of 500.
Will YOU not by your presence help
to make it that amount? You will
get value received for what you
contribute. The talented young
teachers, Misses Stevens and Col
lins. are putting their very best
efforts into this entertainment, which
means that it will be one of the very
best to be given in the county.
