Edgefeld visiting his daughter, Mrs.
Jerald LaGrone.
Mr.. B. L. Minis has the contract
for furnishing the rough lumber for
the Baptist parsonage. He will COM
plete hauling the lumber soon after
the weather clears up.
Mr.. Israel Mukashy left Sunday for
New York to spend several weeks
purchasing his fall stock. He is an
experienced buyer and knows where
to get the best of everything.
Mr.. S. M. Smith, the very capable
surveyor, has his hands full these
days surveying for the real estate
auction company. He has been busy
"cutting up" Edgefeld dirt all this
week.
In the absence of DR.. R. G. Lee
next Sunday Rev. w. M. Whitesides,
superintendent of the Baptist Hospit-
al, will preach morning and evening
in the Baptist church. The public is
cordially invited.
Nobody ever saw the roads of
Edgefeld so nearly one continuous
mud-puddle before as they have been
for the past week. Continuous rain
and red clay will make mud, the stick
lest kind of mud.
Don't be an out-and-out pessimist
because of the rain and heat and
mud. Cheer up and bear in mind that
we are in the midst of the roastin'
ear and watermelon season. All things
are not altogether bad.
Born, to Mr.. and Mrs. C. M. For
rest, little son, to whom Edgefeld
lays first claim ever saluda. Mrs.
Forrest has been spending some time
here with her parents. Grandfather
and Grandmother Hudgens.
School Attendance Officer Pierce
Zimmerman has been busy in Edge
field this week taking the school CEN
sus. We feel confident that Mr.. Tim
norman will do his work thoroughly
and discharge every duty connected
with his Office faithfully.
About half of the people of the
county are water bound and the other
half mud bound. 1t is regretted that
the weather will interfere seriously
with the holding Of the Sunday
School convention at Stevens Creek
church to-day.
The members OF Antioch church
are contemplating making extensive
improvements on the old church
building or erect new one out and
out. We like to see community in
iterested in improving its churches
and schools. BY so doing they are put
ting first things first.
A letter from Mr.. Walter Ryan to
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Pierce Ryan
a few days ago stated that he will
soon be transferred to Atlanta. As he
has been fitted with an artificial foot
made of cork, his friends hope that
he will be able to walk with but COM
paratively little inconvenience.
The Advertiser announces the can
didacy of three good men for public
cotton weigher of Johnston. The cleo
tion will be held at Johnston, Tren-
ton and Edgefeld the same day, Sat-
urday, August 2. Two weighers are
elected for Johnston and one each
for Trenton and Edgefeld.
The delegates may not be at Stew
ems Creek church to-day to attend
the convention but we'll wager
goodly sum. that the hosts and host
esses will be there early with well
filled baskets. The hospitality of the
good people of Stevens Creek and Nc
Kendree is not surpassed anywhere.
Mr.. Robert Dennis of Darlington
was visitor in the home of Mr.. and
Mrs R. L. Dunovant early in the
week. He is a brother of Mr.. E. C.
Dennis who taught school in Edgefeld
at one time, being now a leading law
yer of the Darlington bar and men,
Der of the House of Representatives
from Darlington county.
