Booth, thv^paator o our Baptist Church, has recently lost his mother, who had lived be yond the allotted three score years and ten.VMr. Booth has the sym pathy of his church here, indeed of ; our entire community, in this deep affliction. Rev. T. J. Rook, who preached at Stevens Creek Baptist Church ' last year, has been'.called by the church at Pelham, and he wil probably accept.

Valentine's Day. To-day,. Tuesday, is St. Valen tine's day, the day on which fancy gardeners are wont to plant beans, beats, in fact any and all garden truck but who in this bailiwick wil - perpetrate such a folly to-day? Small Grain Promising. Mr. A. A. Werts, of the Big Creek section, 'thinks the small grain has beer hurt by the cold weather, and that ?he yield will be a fine one unless, there be yet ahead of us some remarkably cold weather. He stiys the .snows' and freezes have broken up the land at . least eight inches in depth which {s of great advantage to the soil*. Good People Slandered. The sensational report published in the Columbia Register, that the Rev. A. McSwain Attaway and wite who^were sent to the lunatic asylum from this county last week, had been marie insane for want of food, we believe to be utterly false and absurd. Mr.. H. C. White, a most estimable citizen and a mem ber of one of Mr. A t ta way'B churches, told us all about the.sad . -affair, and ascribed the insanity of : both husband and wife to religious frenzy on the mibject of sanctifi cation.; He sat up with the afflicted '-'couple for several nights, and as sisted in getting them to Columbia, and not a word did he breathe to us of destitution or suffering for . the want of food. We know, the people jiving in the vicinity of Mr. Attaway's churches, and that they never would have permitted him and his family even- to suffer ' for food. We pronounce this story' a vile fabrication. >_ Fine Stock. Mr. John R. Tompkins, son of the late Col. John W. Tompkins, .. and who lives ai his father's old place four miles from Edgefield. drives the fattest mules and horses that come to this town. Seeing him in town last week we asked how he managed to keep his stock so fat and sleek, supposing he gave them a great deal of corn and tod?er. He replied : "I give them seven ears of corn at a feed and a plenty of shucks. I believe that shucks p und for pound, have three times tue nutriment in. them, that fodder has. At first they wouldn't eat shucks, but now they do so greedily, and will even pick up the dirty shucks in the lot and stable. As an experiment, some times I give them -a bundle of fodder. Some of them won't touch it; and all of them prefer the shucks." Tbifr.is a pointer, and Mr. Tomp kins^ stock are living wftneseess to the truth of what he says. 1 New Beef Market. Mr. R. T. Scurry has opened a beef market on tho first floor of the ADVERTISER building wh?ra he proposes to keep always on, hand a supply of first-class fresh meats. Mr. Scurry has been in Edgefiejd. village only a little more than a v?ar, although of- good old Edge field county stock, but in that short time has made many friends by his quiet and gentlemanly con iuct?-"' &. Rumor Unverified: A rumor was current in our town on Monday morning that Sheriff Ousts had run down a freight car'just below Trenton, bad inveigled -a number of con Huctors, engineers, and brakeman into -if, got it plumb full, locked Ehe door and then, levied on it. racking this placard on tbs out side: THIS CAB AND CONTENTS HAVE BEEN LEVIED ON BY SHERIFF BILL OUZTS, OF EDGE FIE LD, IN THE NAME OF THE GREAT JEHO VAH, BEN TILLMAN, AND THE BEFORM LEGISLATURE OF SOUTH CAROLINA. . : However, in an interview with Sheriff Ouzts to-day, Tuesday, he nade no mention of* such a. levy, md the report may not be true. Paid Its Taxes. .. On last Friday Sheriff Ouzts ?yent to Augusta, to receive the iaar.es of the Port Royal and West ern Carolina Railroad, or rather 1 ?hat portion of the road which li?e i ? Edgefield county. A telegram vas sent him some days ago to ?orne and get th? money, but hear- 1 ng nothing the railroad people be- ' same impatient ^nd sent their - at- . arney in person, and he carried he Sheriff down with him, and j ?on nt ed out and* paiera to him 53,1 IcUO, being in fuji of penalties, axes, and costs. Thus ?as this oad paid up ita honest dues to the state and county after many vain , ; ff cr ts to induce our level-headed sheriff to commit some illegal act )y which they could drag him into ;he. courts. In the meantime, how ever, this road has -itself been com- ; ii i (ting illegal acts, for ins.;an'ce : rrains have been run by*the sta- ? ;iou3 of Parksville, Modoc, etc.* vith?ut stopping, -^although pa* ienger8 were at these places ; with ickets in their bands. And th is re- ? ninds us of a lesson taught the , Charlotte. Columbia and Augusta 'oad in the days that. are. gone. Several years since a number of veal thy Northern gentlemen were ravelling ovei. this road to Au- ? rusta, and fearing that they would niss connection at that city, offer id and paid-the conductor and en- 1 rineer five hundred dollars not to 1 stop at any intermediate ' station, 1 Tohpston, Trenton, ete." Several' Sdgefield gentlemen were waiting . it Johnston to get on the train. >nt it^sped by sans ceremony*,. One ? >f these gentleman, Mr. Tillman ^gajtlg?tt, father of Cashier A. -te^ j Tuligejflr" Bl?a the mlroaa^ior l?males and recovered five hun lre4 i'oUars.' Others follrijred suit, he r^?tdad-paid-out t?vBral thou sand dollars, and received only ive hundred. This is a lesson in ?ailroading from which even rail road men can learn something. 5y the way the railroads are be ginning to find out that the autis ised them in the last campaign to ight their battles for them. Personal Mention. * "' Rev. J. L.

Morgan, of Park s ville, delivered an address before the Woman's Mission Society in our Baptist Church on last Tuesday. It is wonderful what a timid, sen sitive, retiring, womanly woman can do when enthused in a noble work. Rev. W. T. Hundley, formerly pastor of the Baptist Church at Johnston, has accepted a call to the pastorate of the Rutherford Street Mission Church in Green ville. He leaves his present charge in Virginia on account of the severity of the climate. His phy sician advises a more southerly residence.

EDITOR : -The rain,, the fog, the smoke, the gloom, which have hanged over tfiis city "for the last two .weekB obscnriug the sun, ex cept at short intervals when it ap pears a great, round, dull blood tinged orb, sending down its sickly rays, seemingly to warn us that his radiance is growing more and more.feeble each day, and that ere long.he will cease to shine and we will be. left in utter darkness to bemoan bur wretchedness and helplessness, is- enough to plunge one into the ?'Slough of Despond." Since my last writing I have visited the" State capitol, Grady hospital, Inman Park, and Ponce de Leon Springs. The. capitol is a magnificent building of stone and marble, having four floors laid in marble, wainscoting of; Grecian, marble, r?tuudas of three " arcades each. From the ground, to the dome there are three hundred and thirty eight steps with a rise of from six totten inches. From tho dome one can have a magnificent view .o?. th? "city and Btijrroundings.;:-: jv.^ '. The steam-heated Grady s hos pital is located in the northeastern part of the city near the Medical College. It covers tho enormous space of five acres of land. As I passed from ward to ward, and from room to room .1 was as tonished at its size and grandeur. Bight miles of pipe for hot and warm water, one hundred and ten thousand feet of radiating pipe with their direct connection, and indirect connections.; ". - This hospital was opened last June with Hon. Joseph Hirsh as president.. . The patients are exceedingly well cared for, so much so that-His a pleasure to be sick. Everything is clean and neat, even the free wards for negroes are far removed from. squal id i ty and uncleanness. : The wonder is how the city ever got aloug without a hospital to ?are for j;he unfortunate. . Before I left Edgefield a most worthy young man rented a room in. the Parker building for the pur pose of opening a barbershop. He went to Augusta and purchased a splendid outfit for the business. On his return to Edgefield, lo and behold, Dr. Parker very . benignly informed the young man that a party in an adjoining room, ob jected to being in such "close proximity with a barber shopKcon Bejaaenfiy hp (the bjg-jte)Weuld haye to "back out" from the agree ment. This day I have read in the ADVERTISER that a negro from Augusta "holds forth" in the Parker building in the capacity of barberism. Please tell me what kind of axman is Dr. Parker, also the objection in the "adjoining room." Do they like to smell the sweet scented Augusten ian ? > RIP VAN WINKLE. Atlanta, Ga. To the Temperance Women of South Carolina. Dear Sisters :-You all know of the war now b?ing so fiercely waged between God and the deyii the home and the bar-room. What are you doing-to show on which'sjde you are? There is no ground, be tween the two parties but a battle ground. In this contest; you can not be neutral. It is Christ or Barrabas. , . God has, in ans war to the prayers and tears and anguish of heart broken wives and mothers put within reach the possibility o? having the pitfalls of destruction frona "which our boys stagger into the drunkard's grave closed by law. ?? w.. ; ..* "It shall not be done,'say s tlie con scienceless-, law-defy ing bar keepers and their friends. We must have your .boys, and we will pay mouey to keep'control of them: caucuses are being.called,-'mass meetings are held, to which the whole'State sends representatives ; large sums of money are contributed; and saddest of all, some who profess to have enlisted under the banner of Christ have, for thirty piec.es of silver, gone over and are helping these agents of the devil in trying to prevent the enforcement of thifi most righteous bill. And what are the professed fol lowers pf Christ doing-at .-thifi critical time, when the destinies-o? thousands: of immortal pouls are depending ;?n the balance? The werd that admits us into the home of the- blest, is "Well done." Not well intended, well e?id, but well done.i'He that doethj'j "Inasmuch as*ye dyl." The greatest drawback to the church and to the Temperance cause to day is the negative members, who are so oxempkry in their own lives that they are made object lessons. Not so much for doing no harm but for nothing toward rhelp ing other people do np harm. "I did not know he was at all interested in this temperance agitatiou," said * a ' young> mah^ speaking of a prominent Christian gentlman. "He never opens his lips about it.
