Edgefield Advertiser WEDNESDAY, JAX. 30,1895. LOGALz BREVITIES' Rev. C. P. Boozer, of the Etheredge section, was in town on Saturday last. The Edgefield ADVERTISER and Cos mopolitan both one year for $8.00. The State dispensary is carrying a line of Hostetters Bitters. Gov. Evans has appointed Hon. W. H.Yeldell Inpector of dispensary, un doubtedly a good selection. The old Bath paper mills are to be resuscitated and converted into a big cotton factory. Easter comes on the 14th of April this year. There'll scarcely be a kill iug frost after that date. And last but not least, a full Supply of Baldwins Celebrated Fertilizers. IV. W. ADAMS. Mr. P. J. Berckmans of Augusta, so well and favorably known in Edge field, has again been elected President of the American Potnological Society. Dr. J. B. Owens, who has been prac tising medicine at Ropers in this coun ty fur the la^t year so, or has removed to Troy, S. C. The signal bureau of the government, predicted for Monday of this week a bright clear sunny day, and it rained all day long aud all night and all the next day. Best Cream Cheese, Macaroni, Dates. Figs, Raisins, Keg Pickle, &c. W. W. ADAMS. Liens for rent and advances; Bills of sale of personal property ; Land deeds and Mortgages, for sale at the ADVERTISER office. The Edgefield Town Council fined Mr. B. B. Evans twenty-five dollars and Capt. Jim Tillman twenty-eight dollars, for the scrap they got into some weeks ago. Wheat Bran, Cotton Seed Meal, Pre pared Cow Food, Chicken Food. In fact. Food for everything and every body, at W. W. ADAMS. The Governor has appointed Col. John T.Gaston to be assistant in the State Dispensary, in the place of Col. F. M. Mixson, promoted to be Com missioner. He will enter upon his du ties on the 1st February. We hear divers reports from various sections in regard to the oats. Some report almost total destruction of the crop, and all agree it was ternb'y in jured by the severe weather. The Newberry cotton mills are at a stand still for the purpose of putting in new machinery. The old boiler and engine have been shipped to Green wood to run one of the new factories in that city. One Car Lily of Egypt Flour at $3.50 per Barrel, best Second patent on Earth. W. W. ADAMS. .\fr ^ R-"Fenn*? lpfA nun- tO-W-O- ^t?tl? ' morning for Columbia, where for the future will be his insurance headquar ters. His business has expanded so Edgefield is too much of a pent up Utica. Mr. D. R. Durisoe will occupy his office. The negro preachers in the State have commenced to organize their fol lowers, so that they can be registered and voted at the coming election for delegates to the Constitutional Con vention. There are none in Edgefield County doins" this thing that we know of. Rev. Dr. S. L. Morris, a former pas tor of our village Presbyterian church, is booked for a trip on the Steamer "Friesland" to the Meditenarian Sea. He will visit the Holy Land and will be absent two or three months. Fresh from New Orleans : One Car CO. Molasses. 10 Bb'ls. Best N. O. Sy r u p, a t W.W.ADA M S. The News and Courier has given Mr. Chris Williams the oredit for hav ing raised the second largest hog in South Carolina, and Mr. Mark Shealy the ft?fib largest, but he got the pig from "Scratch" Whittle. The new county board of commis sioners decided, we believe, at their meeting last Saturday not to adopt the contract system for working the roads in Edgefield County. We would sug gest however that they experiment with this system on one road ora por tion of a road in Edgefield where the conditions are most favorable for such experiment. It is not generally known, perhaps, that ic is a violation of law to put fire in the woods. Everybody should let it be known, for such fires are fre quently very dangerous and always destructive. Guano factories are not rushed with orders as is usual at this season of the year, and guano agents are rather down in the mouth. Up to this time no prices have been established and no plans fixed upon, "We direct the attention of our read* ers to the advertisement of Simmons Liver Regulator on another page. We have used the medicine in our family, and are prepared to say, from expe rience, that fora torpid liver or a dis ordered stomach it is a good remedy. When travelling' we usually carry some in our valise."-From the "Chris tian Visitor," Smithfield, N. C. People are paying taxes very slow ly ; the continued rush from now to the end of the chapter would scarce suffice to accommodate the tax-paying public. There ought to be some plan by which taxes might be paid at any time from January to January, We believe this was the plan before the war. The Bamburg Cotton Mill, a small plant" comparatively speaking, pays out |3,000 per week to the operatives, and every dollar of it is spent in Bam b? rg, so says the Bamburg Herald * This shows what a cotton factory would do for the merchants of Edge Held, aud the wisest in vesmentthey can make would be to subscribe liberally! ?o the stock of such a factory to be lo ?ated here. ^_'__s_ _'_ * ' ?
