The Irony of Vate. A few nights ago Miss Lizzie Dobey's fowl house gave evidence cf having been the victim ot "foul play" on the part of somo noctur nal vib'tor. Upon investigation it was found that a mink, by clinb ing over or scratching under, had gaiued admission a; d killed tm hens, leaving only ono hen and four ro )Stf."jrs,thereby manifesting a decided penchant for the t?males of the feathered tribp. The fol lowing night a "coon" on a forag ing ex pod it ion betook himself to the efl: same fowl bouse and ca: ried off bodily the fa'test and sleekest rooster of the lot. Betwixt the minks and the ''coons" Bun combe chickeusare forced to crow low und roost high. Au Able Sermon. The celebration of the anniver sary of the W F M Auxiliary at tho Methodist church on Sunday morning was a pleasant occasion Rev W S Martin, of Johnston, preached au able and eloquent ser in ou ^The^-'ladle's "of-"the Methodist church are to be commended for their zeal ia the cause of missions. Thoy have a deligntful stimulant in the fact that one of th^ir num ber is now a missionary of the Methodist church in the great em pire of Cijina. The influence and example of Miss Ju>_e Nicholson will be an enduring benediction to the Christian women of Edgp field in all denominations, and should be an inducement^ to them to hold up the i-anuer of the cross more zeaously and faithfully in the home laud, and to more wil lingly sacrifice for the spread of the gospel in the far away lauds, in the shadow of darkness. A Model Residence. The palatial residence of Mr W W Adame is ?opidly nearing com pletion under the skilled eye and hand of Contractor B?U. Mr Ad ams sets an example that should be followed by the future home builders of Edgefield. This beau tiful residence is not only rnoden in its exterior, and design, but strictly modern in all its appoint ments It has bath rooms on sec ond floor; water and gas for'ligbt irig purposes are to be carried to every room by the most perfect system kuown to the plumber's art. We bust that this marks the begiuuing of a new era in home ?. building md that our towu may be graced with many euch homes in a few year*. Thus the residence sections will be transformed into a new Edgefield, as has been the business por'iou since the land marks of old Edgefi.dd were re moved by ihe destructive fires. Their Charleston Trip. On their return from Charles-, ton the Hussars report having had a most delightful and profitable sojourn nf tkree days in our tea board city, It was a disappoint m?nt, however, to the members of K tbe company not to be able t J par ticipate in the paTade. Their horses would have been carried with them . bul the railroad failed to furnish the necessary cars. On arriving in Charleston only six horses wore procurable and those* at $2 50 each, just for the parade. The Hussars had ofteu hur.rd of the whole-souled hospitality of staid j f * old Chai lesion, but fouu i that the half had u< verbeeu told them. The company uniform was an open sesame to everything, Exposition, Midway attractions, etc. Colon >1 S B Mays gave U3 a most graphic description of the forma tion and movements of the column of 4,000 men as he viewed it from historic old St Michsels steeple. tf* The martial Fplendor of this ar ray of artillery, infantry and cav airy, all uniforrned and equipped, a* if ready for action, is seldom surpassed in these times of peace. The impressiveness of the occasi on was heightened by half a doz en baqds at intervals in the line ^* ' of march, dispensing patriotic mu8ip. ami umiimiiiiiiiimiiiimimiiiimimiiiiiimiiiu I LOCAL AND PERSONAL. ? ^luiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiuiuiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinr?
