Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1919-03-12

Attention is directed tc the quar-
terly statements of the Farmers
Bank of Edgefeld and The Farmers
and Merchants Bank of Johnston.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. T. Cole and Mr..
and Mrs. Milton Parker have return
ed from Florida where they have
been spending the winter.
The movement of fertilizers up to
this time has been the smallest on
record for Edgefeld for long series
of years.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. Boyd Holmes are
in Edgefeld to-day and are receiving
the congratulations of their friends.
In a short time they will set up house
keeping to themselves in Mr.. Holmes
new cottage near Red Hill.
Mr.. Rubenstein announces to the
ladies this week that his millinery
department is now ready for their in
spection. Miss Holland will take
pleasure in showing the new spring
styles.
According to reports that are re-
ceived in Edgefeld, there is greater
quantity of damaged cotton this year
than usual The prolonged rains kept
the bales from drying and the water
penetrated to a considerable depth.
The new merchandise which Mr..
w. H. Turner and Miss Kate Samuel
recently purchased in New York is
daily arriving at the Corner Store.
The entire stock of spring goods will
soon be displayed.
Mr.. E. S. Rives made a trip to
northern and eastern markets last
week, purchasing the newest and best
of everything for the patrons of his
popular store. Watch for his an
in The Advertiser.
The universal opinion is that many
years have passed since farm work
in every section was as backward at
this season as it is this year. Unless
the rains hold up for several weeks,
the cotton acreage will be reduced in
spite of the farmers themselves.
Our genial friend George Swearing
gen expressed the wish short time
ago that the rains continue until the
first of June, so a big crop of cotton
could not be planted. 1t appears that
his wish will be granted and the cot
ton acreage reduced.
Mrs. Eva QUITS received tele-
gram this morning from the War De-
partment stating that her son, Percy
w. QUITS, was buried on July &c,
1918. A letter giving full particulars
will follow. A fuller statement will
be made next week.
A struggling young artist was not
long ago afforded an opportunity to
do bit of work for wealthy man.
In a week or two his wife had her
first glimpse of the painting in hand.
She sighed delightedly, "It's simply
lovely. dearie," said she, ''lovely!
But don't you think those sheep look
just little bit like clouds
that is, of course, darling, unless they
are clouds"
Quite large number of Edgefeld
people went to Augusta Monday to
hear Harry Lauder sing. This Scotch
is world favorite. Hav
given his only son as sacrifice for
his country, he spent much of the

past four years singing to and cheer
ing the boys who composed the
armies Of the Allies.
