WEDNESDAY, JAN. 2, 1S95. LOGAli BREVITIES. Miss Linie Minis spent the Christ mas holidays with friends in Aiken. Dr. Gwaltney and family are now domiciled in their home in Buncombe. Mrs. Pet Bland and daughter have been visiting relatives in Edgefleld. Cotton at six cents in New York is said to be the lowest point ever reach ed in that city. Miss ?Sophie Abney spent the holi days with her mother and has return ed to her school at Ridge Spring. Gov. Evans and Judge Ernest Gary spent Christmas at Oakley Park, the home of Mrs. Genl. Evans. Miss Mamie Norris, of the "College for Wombil," Columbia, S. C., spent the Christmas holidays at home. The beaut i lol snow came Sunday af ternoon at this place-the poor man's guano, especially for small grain. Dr. B. H. Teague and his daughter Miss Teague worshipped at our Bap tist church last Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. G. P. Cobb and Miss ' Sue Sloan have returned to Johnston. Edgefleld hates to lose them. Mr. J. W. Peak and family will in a .. few days remove to the old Jennings mansion opposite the Catholic church. Mr. R. L. Dunovant and family are now domiciled in the Prescott man sion over in Buncombe. Some people think that other people are cranks but the "other people know that "some people" are. Dr. Prescott and family, much to the regret of our community, have return ed to their country home. "To put salt on the tail of a lie and serve it up with stuffing," is not a proper Christmas dish. Don't do it. Gary Can ghin an, of the Saluda side has been appointed Supervisor of Reg istration for Edgefleld County by Gov. Evans. It is not the man who raisrs the t most bushels who is the best farmer; it is the one who raises the most bush .els from an acre. Beer is now being made of corn imore and more, both in this country :and Germany. That is about the poor est use that can be made of corn. Notwithstanding the hard times the 'Christmas trade of our merchants was ;good; some of them report it the best iin years. A pretty fair synopsis of the actings rand doings of the members of the Leg aslature is given in another column <o?er the signature "Dagnell." 3Ir. Davis, County Dispenser, re P?rts sales for December, $2,553.58 being $S00less than the amount sold -...uiiicf marriage, in which our town is to furnish the happy and for tunate groom, is booked for tne 27th inst. The fall bf snow in this town meas ured six inches on a level-not quite so .deep as that of last year, but deep .enough to be "in it" when you get in :it. As a token of their appreciation of Ihim, both as teacher and friend, the :young gentlemen of Dr. Gwaltney's .classes presented to him on Christmas ?day a solid silver ink stand and case. is it a fact that every time there is a Union meeting at Edgefleld it is a failure? Las): Saturday and Sunday there was'nt a single delegate here from any churches of the Division. A good^&i-^tff^-present would H>e to send the ADVKRTISKB to some Urie nd for one year. It only costs $1.50 And would remind the recipient of the ?iver tifty-two times in the year. The young man just starting in bu siness should learn to say NO, not that he should say it all the time and to .every body, but should know how to say it when the proper time comes. J. Wm. Thurmond, Esq., one of our most efficient members of the House, spent the Christinas holidays under .the paternal roof, but returned to ?Edgefleld and his law office on Monday <of this week. *Dh the hogs, the beautiful hogs! How we love 'em as they run thro' the bogs; How we laugh as they fall o'er the logs! Fogs frogs dogs polly-wogsegg-nogs. There is a time for all things, but the time for work is. when the sombre .shades tl row into gorgeous glory the .jfliden glimmer of a Welsh rarebit-so Fraser says, and Jim-knows. To ?wake hens lay well, feed as fol low* : Put two or more quarts of wa iter into a bottle and one large seed pepper and boil; now stir in coarse In ?dian meal till thick; cook this one iiiour and feed hot. .Thursday night last was cold enough ; Friday night was colder and Saturday tapped the climax with a record of Ave degrees above Zero. With this kind of cold here io Edgefleld, we may im agine what kind they have in the north and west. It seem hardly possible, but neverthe less it is true, that on an average every fifty-flfth person you meet wears W ,L# Douglas Shoes. Did you ever realize v/hat an immense undertaking it is to supply one article of wearing apparel to over one million people. "I don't see what's the use of me be ing vaccinated again," said Tommy baring his arm reluctantly for the doc tor. "Thc human body changes ever" seven years, Tommy," replied his mother. "You are eleven years old now. You were in your 4t h year when you were vaccinated first, and it has run out." "Well. I was baptized when J was a baby. Has that run out too?" See the very best $1 50 shoe in the world at. J. W. Marsh & Co.'s, Johnston. . .* An Edgefield mule that, eats news l papers is une of the freaks of these hart! times. He belongs to a ransack er, but eats all newspapers with equal relish and gusto. If that mule could think or talk, we should quote de gus ti bus non est disputandum, on bim. Miss Gell Richards who accompa nies the Prescott family into the coun try is so highly esteemed in EdgefieW( that she will oe greatly misled, espe cially in the church where she was an indefatigable worker. The Spartanburg correspondent of the News and Courier states that Sen ator Butler will locate in Spartanburg, as soon as Congress adjourns, for the practice of law, and with that end in view has rented a dwelling house in that city. There's a man in Choty who, in de fault of a smoke-house, hangs his hams and shoulders, a few at a time, over the tops of the chimneys to his dwelling house, where in a short time they are thoroughly smoked and seasoned by the lires beneath. Is'nt this something new under the sun? Mr. Wyatt H. Seigler of the Red Hill section, one of the ADVERTISER'S ver satile correspondents has been elected principal of the Adamsville High School on the Savannah side. There will be an attendance of fifty pupils during the month of January. The News and Courier is making a record of big hogs killed in various parts of this State during the present winter, but none of them has read ed the weight of the one killed oy Mr. C. If. Williams of our county last winter. This enormouscreature of the Poland China bre*d weighed over 700 lbs. One notable thing that the Legisla ture did for Edgefield County at its recent session was to change the name of Ryan Township to Plum Branch, in deference to the fact, no doubt, that Plum Branch is within this territory and our friend, Capt. Stanmore Ryan, is not. Oh the hogs, the beautiful hogs! To encourage the swine industry, we had intended to write a sonnet be ginning as above, to the beautiful hogs, but we can find no terminal word to rhyme with hogs, except dogs and fogs and frogs and logs and bogs and nogs-and they are entirely too prosaic, too much of earthearthy. The Executive Committee of the Edgefield Baptist Association will hold a meeting at Rehoboth church, Friday, 4th inst., ll a. m., Rev. J. P Mealing, Rev. G. W. Bussey, Rev. J. L.' Ouzts, Brethren James T. Minis, R. E. Broadwater and Whit Harling, with W. H. Yeldell Ex. Officio Chairman, constitute said Committee. Rev. John Lake. This young minister of God preach ed in our Baptist church on last Sun day morning. It had not been the priv ilege of many of r'.e congregation to have heard him before, and t? say that tlipy wpTP riidightpd, would certainly., not be stying too much. Mr. Lake's style in the pulpit is conversational, by odds the most effective as it is the most natural; his manner is altogeth er without affectation, and as gentle, tender, and sweet as that of a woman. Those of our readers who remember the Rev. James C. Chiles of blessed memory will liken Brother Lake, in many respects, to that departed saint. We do not flatter, rather deprecate it, for the tongue, the lips, the teeth of persistent flattery eat out the heart of the recipient. Almost a Lynching. On last Wednesday Mr. E. C. Mor gan brought and committed to our county jail a negro woman, Louisa King by name, charged with robbing and afterwards burning the dwelling house of Mr. Nick Brown who lives at Plum Branch. The woman admits the robbery but denies the arson, charg ?nit?^yaart, of the business to two otllH Hi of her race. The cri.ne wa? fflSrated at. night, Mr. Brown and^Hffijeing absent. So great was the HHjFi gnat ion in the community over ene commission of so dastardly a deed ri^ata lynching party gathered to deal out summary vengeance, and hut for the quick wit and prompt action of Trial Justice Brunsori, Mr. Morgan and others, not one of the parties would now be living to tell the tale. The Columbia Desk Calendar. For ten years the desk calendar is sued by the Pope Manufacturing Com pany has held a unique place among business helpers. Each daily leaf du ring that time has taught its quiet les son of the value of better roads and outdoor exercise, and especially the benefits of bicycling. The calendar for 1895, which is just issued, is even brighter than its predecessors in ap pearance, as clever artists have added dainty silhouette and sketch to the usual wise and witty contributions that have heretofore given this popu lar calendar its charm. It can be bad for five 2 cent stamps from the Pope Manufacturing Company, Hartford, Conn., or from any Columbia bicycle agency. Hicks for January. "It will be well to remember that the disturbing power of Jupiter and Mars extends over the whole month. There will be a marked predisposition to storms-rain storms, wind storms, snow storms-so that the regular and reaction periods will begin promptly, and continue as a rule beyond their normal limits. The second and third days of the month are centres of reac tionary movements. On and next to these dates cold will moderate, baro meter will fall, storms of greater or less intensity will travel from west to east. By the fourth general change to colder. Storms of snow and rain will visit many sections from the 9th to the 11th inclusive. More storminess with rain and snow about the 13th and 14th." And so on to the end of the chapter. If weean believe Hicks the month of January will bea bad one. J W. Marsh & Co., Johnston, have the beet $1.10 shoe on earth. Youngblood-Timmons. Hear the bells! "Wedding; bells! What a world of happiness their melody foretells. The fashionable wedding of the season took place on Thursday evening last at thc home of Dr. Manly Timmons at 8 o'clock. The high contracting parties were Mr. Arthur Wigfall Youngblood, son of E. H. Youngblood Esq., of Win ter Seat, and Miss Muriel Gertrude Timmons, youngest daughter of Dr. F. R. Timmons of Edgefield. The ceremony was to have ta ken place at the Baptist church, but on accouut of the illness of the bride, it was performed under the fraternal roof-tree which was beautifully and artistically deco rated under the direction of Mrs. S. McGowan Simkins, whose taste and skill in these matters is so generally acknowledged. There were present about sixty invited guests, special friends and rela tives of the bride and groom. The wedding repast was elegant in the extreme, and the table ar ranged in the shape of an Egyptian cross, was laden with all manner of substantials and dainties, un surpassed in every detail of varie ty and arrangement. Mendelsohn's beautiful "Wedding March" was soulfully rendered by Mr. WalterH. Bland, one of Edgefield's most tal ented musicians, and the ceremony , performed by Dr. L. R. Gwaltney. The attending couples were: Miss May Youngblood aud Dr. Manly Timmons, Miss Florence Adamsand Mr. Shelton Perry, Miss Mary Lou Lanham and Mr. Sam Timmons, Miss Emma Daniel and Mr. E. J. Norris, Mies Tweetie Hill and Mr. Walton Fuller, Mies ' Minnie Lanham and Dr. Wide man, Miss Bracie Cheath*m and ' Mr. R. L. Fox, Miss Lida Ready ? and Mr. Wigfall Cheatham, Miss ?

P. ! Butler, Miss Ethel Roper and Mr. 1 Mouzon Smith. The bride wore a i beautiful dress of white silk and I lace, cn train, and the bridesmaids j wore handsome costumes of pale i blue, pink, and white. The gifts ' from the friends and relatives j were both numerous and hand- i some, The hostess. Miss Emmie j Timmons, sister of the bride, re- J ceived the guests, assisted by Mrs. : Richard Timmons and Mrs. F. R. ') Timmons. Among the distin- - guished guests present were Ex Gov. J. C.

The newly wedded couple will j remain in Edgefield for a few weeks ; later, they will remove to ! their new home at Ridge Spring. ' "Let roses deck the path before yon, And music till the air above, May peace around and sunshine o'er j you, More closely draw the bonds of love. j Let every joy of each entwine ATragrant wreath for mem'rjs brow, And may life's sunset calmly shine, On hearts as warm and young as now." PRIZES ONPATENTS How to Get $100 and Perhaps Make a Fortune. We secure patents and to induce people to keep track of their bright ideas we offer a prize of one hun dred dollars to be paid on the first of every month to the person who submits to us the most meritorious invent] >n during the preceding month. We will also advertise the invention free o-f ob^rqe in the "National Recorder," a . newspaper, published in Washing- J ton, D. C.. wnich has au extensive circulation throughout the United Stai^sand is devoted to the inter- ? esis of inventors. NOT so HARD AS IT SEEMS. The idea of being able to invent something strikes most people as being very difficult ; tbi? delusioD the Company wishes to dispel. It is the simple things and small in ventions that make the greatest amount of money, and the complex ones are seldom profitable. Al most everybody, at some time or another, conceives an idea, which, if patented, would probably be worth to him a fortune. Unfortu nately such ideas are usually dis missed without thought. The sim ple inventions like the car window , which could be easily slid up and down without breaking the pas senger's back, the Bauce pan, the collar button, the nut lock, the bottle stopper, the snow shovel, are things that almost everyone sees some way of improving upon, . and it is these kiud of inventions j that bring the greatest returns to the author. I The prize we offer will be paid i at the end of each month, whether I the application has been acted ; upon by the Pat?nt Office or not. , Every competitor must apply for ; a patent on his invention through ' us, and whether he secures the prize or not, the inventor will have a valuable present.
