There is a farmer doctor living in Edgefield county who ran a one horse farm last year. He worked it faithfully and diligently. He planted corn and cotton in the early spring and when the latter rains came he sowed peas. He kept a set of books in which he set down every item of expensp, After the harvests were over and the crops nil gathered and hcused he called in a young gentleman of thu neighborhood who was something of an accountant, to figure np the profits. The result was, after a couple of hours' figuring, that tho young farmer doctor had made a net profit of one one-horse load of pea vines and lo cents in cash.

"Dr. Joe," as he is affectionately called, although over seventy years of age, is as beal thy and active as many a youth of twenty, and it is hoped that he will soon oe cut again. A Terrible Accident. Last Friday Mrs. Sallie Gardner, (nee Eubanks), was burned to death while burning to a pile of trash in her yard. Mr. Thomas Gardner, her husband, was working about a hundred }ards from the house and reached his wife too late to save her life. She lingered a few hours in agony, dying that night. Mr. Gardner was himself severely burned in his efforts to save his wife, and his hands are m such a mutilated condition that he has to be fed, and cannot even takeoff his hat from his head. Blind Tigers in Edgefield. The show folks who were here last week posting bills asked Dis penser Davis if they could post some of their bills on the dispen sar}'. He consented and they pasted up a lot on the north side of the building. On one of these posters there is the picture of an enormous tiger. The next morn ing when Mr. Davis went to open the dispensary lo and behold a crowd of antis and conservatives stood nt the door knocking and waiting. And he said unto them: "What do .ye here? Are ye not of those that drink not from dispen saries, but prefer blind tigers?" And they answered and said unto him : "Yea. But is this not a blind tiger?" Whereat Dispenser Davis marvelled much. And they took Dispensers Davis and Kearsey out and showed them the pictures ot the tigers in proof of their say ing, whereupon they all fell down prone upon the earth and wept for jov. Davis and Kearsey wept for joy because they had fooled the antis by pastiug the picture of a tiger ou the dispensary, and the antis wept for joy that the}' had fouud, as th^y supposed, a blind tiger.

Subscribe to the Edgefield AD VERTISE K. CORRESPONDENCE [For the ADVERTISER. Plow On, Hoe On, Work On, and You'll Get There By and By. EDITOR ADVERTISER: The small grain crop in this commuuity is looking remarkably well, better than it has for several years, and if seasons continue on, there will be a large crop made, which will be the salvatiou of many poor farmers, most of them being in needy circumstances and always will be unless they change their mode of farming, by working more and doing better work, and then make their supplies at home. No mau can prosper and do well rest ing on his oars all the time and depending on something to turn up and get him out of the mire. The right way to do is to go to work and turn up something. Some men it seems are expecting the State and national government to pass some law that will make money rattle into their pockets like pouring peas down on a raw hide. No that won't do, things don't work that way. The people have to support the govern ment, not the government the peo ple. Some men are always rpady to blame the merchant, the banker, the lawyer, the doctor, or somebody bocauee they don't get on well and make a good living, when really there is nobody to blame but them selves. I have heard men say they might as well take their musket on their shoulder and fight the war over again the way things were, that things were so arranged that the farmer could not get a fair and remunerative price for what he made. But where is the enemy entrenched and who are they going to fight? The best implement to fight with now is the plow and the hoe, the reaper and the mower, and from early morn uti til dewy eve. . Elbert Padgett, colored, mail carrier from Elmwood to Johnston, accidently shot himself in the leg with a pistol. As luck would have it for him, the wound is slight and not dangerous. I would advise all boys not to have anything to do with pistols as they are dangerous things to fool with. LOOKER ON. Elmwood, S. C. [Fortbt ADVERTISER. The News from Cold Spring-Mr. Bussey's Sermon at Ked Hill-The Crops. MR. EDITOR: To-day has been the most pleasant and lovely Sab bath that has been given us this year, and a large and appreciative audience gave strict and close at tention to the sermon of Rev. G. W. Bussey, preached from the text, "Ye are the salt of the earth," at Red Hill church. The earnest ness that Mr. Bussey puts into his sermons mark plainly the pro found search and deep study of gospel truths. A fire at Red Hill on Thursday night last destroyed the gin house and contents, of Capt. J. H. Bussey. Contents consisted of gin, press, wagon, scales, planing machine, cotton seed, and two bales of seed cotton. Fifteen hundred feet of dressed lumber stored under the gin house was also burned. With the help of friends the saw and grist mill was saved from the flames, eugine not damaged ex cept the IJSS of belting. School Commissioner M. B. Davenport gave the Red Hill school a call on his professional rounds on Friday last. It is suffi cient to say that the office is well filled and none could conform more strictly to his duties. Miss Willie Hudson, who is so widely and favorably known as a teacher and as a lady, paid Red Hill a visit on Saturday and Sun day. Her cheerful and kindly presence renews the friendship of old acquaintances and makes many new ones. She returned to the Parksville High School on Sunday afternoon. This beatiful weather is making the clod hopper jump for joy and he is using all of his stored up energy to prepare and plant a big crop in time. Grain is making such rapid strides that one can almost see it grow, and may God speed the time that the oats will do to feed, then we will all be happy. RADCLIFF. Cold Spring, S. C. [For t he ADVERTISER. Parksville Notes. We are having beautiful weather uow, just such as reminds us of fishing parties, and rambles in the woods. Last Sunday was a bright and warm day, and the Baptist Sabbath-school was well attended, and the sermon by the pastor, Rev. G. W. Bussey, was enjoyed exceed ingly by all who had thc pleasure of hearing it. On Friday before, Prof. Ducello gave an entertainment, in the Acad emy hall. His magic lantern served to illustrate the scenes of life out West among the cow-boys. His lecture, songs, examples of ven triloquism, and all was interesting. Prof. Ducello will romain but few days longer in Parksville he says. We have been visited by several drummers the past week, and others pasaing through the town. Mr. L. F. Dorn and Parks & Co., have opened a new stock of spring goods. They carry on an exten sive trade, terms suitable to all. Mrs. G. W. Bussey and her small children left for Greenville, S. C., Friday morning. She visits her father's friends and relatives. Will remain with them about two weeks. Our Reading Society which meets every Friday evening is still progressing nicely, aleo the prayer meeting. The school in charge of Miss Willie Hudson, is of interest to Parksville. The pupils are making rapid progress and Miss Hudson is no "poke," she will be ready for a nice entertainment at the close of school. SCHOOL GIRL. Parksville, S. C. [For thc ADVERTISES. Items from Zo fir School. MR. EDITOR: If you will allow us a little space we will give you a few items from our school. Our teacher is Miss Mamie Bouknight from Newberry. She is an excellent teacher. I think we have the right lady in, the right place. We have become so very much interested, we feel like others are too. We all like Very much to go to school. We have had fifty-three scholars, but some of the boys, we are sorry to say, will soon have to stop to help on thc farms. So we think it will do them good to see a piece from their old school. Monday, it being unlikely weath-' er all the scholars were not present. Wc had a very profitable day. Our motto was, "I must guard my tongue." We opened as usual with scripture teaching, singing, and prayer, then followed a pretty recitation by Master Walter Grant and a talk on politeness. Tuesday: opening exercises as usual, then followed a beautiful recitation by our teacher entitled "The Early Settler Story," and while wo were busy putting our school room in order our School Commissioner M. B. Davenport and County Commissioner J. Banks honored us with a short call. We were delighted to see them, we are always glad to have our friends visit us and esyecialy our School' Commissioner. Wednesday-We had such a beautiful morning, it seemed like we were all anxious for the open ing hour to arrive. Opened, as' usual and fellowed by a chapter on truth in which were many fine passages. Then we had a splendid and profitable lesson in language on manners in school. We are all trying to see how polite and kind we can be to each other. Thursday-We opened by read ing scripture which was followed by singing and prayer, and then we had a pretty recitation by Lillian Gardner, "Oh, Father Come Kiss Me Once More," and our teacher read a chapter on obedience. Our motto for Thurs day was, "Obedience should be prompt, faithful, and cheerful." Friday-was a beautiful spring day and wo opened as usual by reading singing and prayer, then had essays on boys and girls hy Ernest and Sudie Satcher.
