The second plank demands that the hog shall be crossed with the centipede, so that each hog will have 100 hams; and the third party can eat barns three times a day. The third p'ank proposes to engraft Hie straw berry upon the milkweed so that the people can have strawberries and milk without going to the trouble of mix ing them.

THE EDGEFIELD INSTITUTE Closing Exercises, Evening of June 26, 1896. The very large audience that at tended the closing exercises of the Edgefield Institute on Friday evening was tho best possible evi dence our people could give of their confidence in, and admira tion for, the able faculty of this institution, and their interest in the lovely children of the town. The programme promised a rare treat, and truly no one present was disappointed-from the opening number of the concert to che final tableau the audience sat spell bound, indicating by hearty ap plause aud vociferous encores their delight aud appreciation. The musfc was of a high order, showing the taste aud culture of Miss Gwaltney, who i < in charge of this department. The selections played by Miss Gwaltney and Mise Marcelle Gwaltney were rendered with a perfection of technique and otyle rarely attained. The music pupils have been well trained aud reflect great credit upon iheir ac complished teacher. The Misaes Mary and Anna Butler played with grace and ease. ' Miss Lillie Shep pard executed several instrumental pieces with wonderful skill for such a youthful performer, and sang very sweetly. The mandolin solo by Miss Marcelle Gwaltney so delighted the audience thai they clamored for a r?p?tition, which the young lady graciously granted. In the operetta the girls and boys succeeded well in their ef forts to entertain tho au iieuce. It was a veritable peep iu*.o fairy land to look upon the flitting, dancing figures iu their rich set ting of gauze and tinsel aud light, moving with graceful rhythmical stops hither and thither among feme and mosses and flowers. All did well. All looked bvely. Each one deserves a paragraph, but lack of space prevents such a lengthy eulogy, so Wb will only say that Miss Julia Tompkins, and James Jones, the handsome king and queen of tho fairies, acted their parts with royal dignity : Mies Lillie Sheppard as Echo, Joe Holland as Narcissus, little Bald win Carwile a? Cupid, and tiny Lillie May Fisher in her skirt dance Hlicited great applause, Aiiy, fairy Lillie May danced with the grace of Carmencita and was a vision of entrancing loveliness. Tho tinal tableau was unsatisfy ingly short, showing as it did all the children in graceful poses with the brilliant calcium light thrown upon their lovely, innocent faces. Gold medals were awarded Misses Helen Sheppard, Curran Hartley, Julia Tompkin s, Henriette, Kate, and Maxie Shep pard, fer most regular attendance, best lessonp, and best deportment. Miss Curran Hartley also received a gold medal for spelling. Dr. Gwaltney delivered the medals lo the bftvy of beauties in a graceful little speech. A large portrait of the great mu sical composer, Mendelssohn, was awarded by Miss Gwaltney to Mi s Kate Butler for her faithful ap plication to the study of music-a token of her "eeteem and admira tion." Dr. Gwaltney presented tbe picture to the fair and talented re cipient in a few words eloquently descriptive of the compositions oJ the master. We cougratula'e Dr. Gwaltney and the ladies associated with him in the management1 of the Insti tute upon the successful close of their year's arduous labors, and we tender to teachers and pupils the thanks of the community for having afforded us so delightful an entertainment. Round About Callison's. We have been blessed with many things from the hands of a Heav enly Father since I wrote. Among the manifold blessings, he has sent to us a m ist delightful season upou our crops, which we were so badly needing, I trust we shall all feel grateful for the blessing we receive from his hauds. Our crops look promising, Mr. Abbie Reel has the finest in this section ; he is a first-class farmer. Since I wrote last, it has been my sad duty to visit my father Mr. M. Timmerman, who has been, and still was when I heard last, quite sick with typhoid fever, he lives in the Red Oak Grove neighborhood. I trust ere this ho is couvalesing. I think I am safe iu sayiug that Mr. Timmerman has. the finest prospect for a good crop that he has ever ha i. I am glad to have the pleasuie of informing the readere of the ADVERTISER that childrens day will be observed with Bold Spring Baptist church 4th of July. We welcome all our friends on that occasion, and hope to make it both a pleasant and profitable day to all who may attend. "Come for all things are now ready says Isiah." - Mr. Editor, what has become of Rip Van Winkie? He used to write to the paper occasionally, I want to ask "Rip" a question and I be lieve he will answer. Look her?> "Mr. Rip," tell if you please how that western corn of Mr. Trapp McMauus's is. looking? I would like to get some seed for next year as it is so fine, don't 'make at all.' Miss Sallie Reel of the Borea neighborpood has been up on a visit to see her relatives and friends. We were gla l to have her wi*h us, she is now visiting rela tives in the Sandy Ridge section, Mrs. Mollie Mathews. R. S. Kemp has come home for a vacation after a five years ab sence from his home. He has been living in the city of Charleston that length of time. Tbe Lord willing this writer will deliver au address at Sandy Ridge school house on 1st Sunday even ing in July.
