Wright and Miss Leora Wright who represent ed the union of Johnston m the B. Y. P.U. convention in Char leston, added much to the pleasure oi the convention aud especially for the Edgefield delegation, being exceedingly congenial and de lightful companions.

Smith bas devoted much time and attention to building his hosiery plant which is located a few miles' from Willistou. His lon?.T ch e r ish eri dhones_are_^HQQin~to he plant will be in operation, we rust that our merchants will be ?orne Dr. Smith's patrons.

What would become >f the home, the church, the coun ry, without them. For the best Handkerchiefs Sxtracls to be had go to G. L. PENN & SON. The board of county commis lioners at the meeting on the 4th nsf. let the cou tract for the re jairs on the court house, jail, vail around jail, and for the erect on of a coal house to Mr. W. S. 3r. Heath. His was the only bid hat was received. The. price to be mid for the work when completed n a first-claps, workman-like mau ler is $850. The original bid was plOOO hut Mr. Heath was induced :o do the work for $850. This will jrove to be a good investment for he county. Some of the public Droperty was being greatly in ured for lack of repairs. The Couuty Inter-Deuomiua ;ional Sunday School convention viii be held in Edgefield on Thurs ley and Friday, May the 11th and 12th. The planting season will be jver by that time and the crops ?viii hardly be large enough to be vorked, hence there Bh^uid bo a rer/ large attendance. The people jf i ur town-of all denomina tions-are expecting a lar^e num ber of delegates and visitors to be present aud everything possible will be done to make their stay pleasant and profitably. A gocd Urogramme has been arranged and :he couver/ion will doubtless be he hest ever held. Prepare to at tend this convention. Dr. and Mrs. E. C. Smith re gain as true and loyal to their Edgefield friend* ae they were ?vhen their lot was ca3t among us. Scarcely had the train, which bore the Edgefield party to Charleston laBt week, come to a standstill at Williston when Dr. and Mrs. E. C. Smith boarded and-urged the Edgefieldians to stop over in Wil listou and pay them a visit on their return from Charleston. This scribe regretted exceedingly, as did ethers of^'the party, that the invitation could not be accept ed, for we have on a previous oc casion enjoyed the very kind hos pitality of Dr. Smith in the pro gressive town of Willistou. Better give your premises a spring cleaning at one?. The board of health will make a tour of inspection this we*k. The members of historic old Gilgal church are up und doing. They have succeeded in raising sufficient funds to repaint and otherwise improve their house of worship. A corps of painters left Edgefield on Monday to begin work. May this church continue to flori8h under (he leadership of its beloved pastor, Rev. P. P. Blalock. Mr. James A. Dozier, who now occupies first place in the shoe department of the mammoth store of J. B. White, having been chosen buyer and manager, visited his sisters, Mrs. H. A. Smith and Miss Alleen Dozier on Sunday last. This promotiou of Mr. Dozier is no surprise to his friends, for his pleasing manner, attractive per sonality and unusual mental en dowments could not lead him otherwise than in paths of success. Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Taylor be lieve in beautifying their home pud makiug all of the surround ings attractive. Would that more home owners in Edgefield were of the same bent bf mind. Mrs. Taylor is a great lover of flowers and devotes much time to their growth. Mr. Taylor is causing 'he entire house to lay aside its dull winter robe and is having it painted in a very attractive and beautiful color that is more in keeping with the season. If you would be relieved of that tired feeling take Penn's Bitters. G. L. PENN & SON. Of all the one hundred and twenty-five delegales to the B. Y. P. U. convention ?Jin Charleston, many of wnotn were young ladies, not one received more attention or was more generally admired than Miss Mattie Hill Wardlaw, of Columbia, who isa cousin of 3. - Wardlaw ia -tall, mind, beautiful in heart, beauti ful in character, beautiful iii her devotion to her church. Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Latiner, of Au gu eta, were thQ guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Holstein several days last week. They were perfect ly charmed with our little city, Would that they could be induced to build a summer home here. The red mud and bad roads of winter preclude the possibility of Edge field's becoming a winter resort, but there is uo reason why many families should not come to reside among us' in summer, when we have as beautiful drives asean be found in many cities. Edgefield would throw wide ber doors to such wealthy, refined, cultured people as Mr. and Mrs. Latimei. Met After Twenty-Two Years. I Dr. Frank E. Comstock, accom panied by his wife, was I he guest days last week, while en route | from Florida to his home in Wellsville, N. Y. These gentlemen tvere room mates at the Universi ty of New York, from which in stitution they graduated in medi cine in 1883. Dr. Comstock sailed for Europe and they had never seen each other from the day of their parting at college until they net in Edgefield. Dr. Tompkins having by chance learned th a*, his old friend would pass Ibis way invited him to stop over with him. As is usually the case with all strangers who come within our gates, these visitors were perfect ly charmed with Edgefield. Not withstanding the fact that they had travelled extensively through out this country and Europe they declared that they had never visited any other place that ap proached so near their ideal of a place to reside as did Edgefield. Dr. Tompkins urged them to pro long thoir visit but Dr. Comstock, being a yery successful physician, bas a large practice which be could not longer ueglect. Let us fill your prescriptions. We use only the best drug. G. L. PENN & SON Baptist Kevival Services. For some months the pastor and members of our Baptist church have been contemplating holding a series of revival services. There fore, it has been decided that, continuing from Sunday next, there will bo held two services eaoh day, morning and evening, throughout next week. Rev. C. E. Burts will be assisted by Dr. D. M. Ramsey, pastor of the Ci Sa del Square Baptist church of Charles ton. The people of our town are extremely fortuuate in being able to hear this eminent r ine preach a series of sermous. ho ie a deeply pious, scholarly gentleman and an eloquent and magnetic speaker. These two, earnest, faithful servants ot the Master will do all in their power to make the meet ing productive of much good-God will do his share-now what wi1! the laity do. If the latter will do their full duty the meeting will be a decided success, otherwise il cannot but fail. Letter to J. T. M eilan us. Edgefield S. C. Dear Sir : A man said : Send me 25 gallons.

Stevens is Dead. Just before closing our forms for the press ou Tuesday morning the sad intelligence of the death of Mr. E. L. Sttven6, that gentle, amiable, sweet-spirited, universal ly beloved citizen of Meeting Street, reached us. When it be came known that "Uncle" Lod Stevens, as his friends W6re wont to call him, would never again be with us in the flesh lhere was casi over our entire community a pall j of the deepest gloom. Everybody in our town and throughout the county who knew him esteemed, honored, loved him. He will be greatly missed by his neighbors dud friends, chuich and community; but where I e will be missed most will be in the home whose inmates he loved go tenderly. However, these sorely bereaved hearts know in whom he trusted and can look forward ^a^.re^ujnitedvhome^cirnlei u th at [f?ve^w??ih eve ey?ted?n:?jSs.o" " * terment at the Steveus burial ground on Wednesday morning. Advertiser's Pressman Dead. Poor "Uncle" Randall! His mortal frame is now moidering in the cold earth. For thirty-five years Randall Adams was -the faithful pressman of the ADVER TISER, Lis service extending over a period that was longer than the lives of mauy newspapers. A shicter adherence and devotion to duty than that exhibited by this humble colored man is rarely ever seen. When told that the presses would be ready for him at a cer tain hour, whether day or i :gh' , "Uncle" Randall was certain tb be nt his post "on the minute," not five, fifteen, twenty minutos or one hour late. He always kept bis promises. Would that this could Though bis miudwa8 untutored1!* -though bis features lacked the ?oftening influence of culture and raining-though his poorly clad )ody bore the marks of exposure md arduous labor which lasted hrougb a period of four score rears, yet there WHS a heart within j J lis breast that beat warm and n ender for bi? friends of both aces. He was reared in an mvironmeut and atmosphere of nany years ago, when those of lis race knew nothing of preju lice against their white friends, md to the moment of his death ie loved and honored the latter. .1 is therefore meet and proper hat more than passing u ot icc should be given of the demise of !--jrtaiu nf these faithful few. The ?dilor of the ADVERTISER deemed t a privilege to place a floral vreath on thc coffin of "Uncle" Randal] on Sunday afternoon last ts it lay in the one-room log hut wo miles west of our town.
