TH? ADVERTISER. s, 93,00 per AuDam. 3e Prepired te settle. We have secured tho services of Mr. ELIJAH KEKSE, well'known to tho peo plo of Edgefield as a thoroughly reliable and courteous goutleinan, as Canvassing Agent and Collector for the Advertiser ; and commend bim to the kind attention of our patrons. We hope those indebted to us will be prepared to settle when our collector calls on them. Local Item?. On Sunday last, we departed for Ridge S piing to'witness the baptism of many old and valued friends, who have lately joined the Church there ; but when twelve miles upon our journey, discov ered thai the "baptizing had been post poned until the coming Sunday, ?and that, owing to the session of a neighbor ing Association, there would be no re ligions services at all at Ridge Spring* Being almost at the gatea of .one of the most beautiful and hospitable homes elong the Ridge-Capt. Clinton Ward's-, we there sat up our rest for the day ' delightful andlnxnHo?srest it was! and went with our host to see the glories of the new Church at Span n's, and to hear an excellent sermon from the Rev. Wm., Thomas. This was the first ser vice, if we mistake not, in the new Church. -And " the . Congregation was large, and evidently proud-and certain ly most laudably so-of their model house of worship. However, as the dedication of this Church, is not to take j place until the first Sunday in Novem ber, we will postpone any further re marks concerning it until after that oc casion. Tho baptizing at Ridge Spring -some twenty or twenty-five persons to be immersed by the Rev. Mr. Pierson is to take pince on Sunday next, between 12 and 1 o'clock. Last Monday-Sale-day in October tiougbt -out a considerable crowd of our fellow citizens from the count ry, and four or five of our business friends from Augusta. Peoples' faces did not look as . ? bright as we haye seen- them at this time of year. The ' financial . panic was, of course, the prevailing topic. From what we gathered, those who owe money will send forward more or less cotton ; those who owe but little will be apt to keep their cotton at home for the present. The Medical Association held its last meeting for the present year. Dr. W H. Timmer mau was elected President ; Dr. Joe Jennings, Vioe-Preaident : Dr. W. Scott Sheppard, Secretary; and Dr. J. C. Lanier, Treasurer. Dr. John Lake, President of the Association since its in ception, made his valedictory. The next meeting will be on the first Monday in January 1874. Traveling along the Columbia Road a day or two back, we were uncomfortably impressed with the growing prevalence of the worm in cotton. ? Half the fields we saw seemed totally denuded of leaves. Or is this worm the real thing? Our friend Roady's (W. J.) cotton is fine, and in some fields he expects to make 700 lbs. of bay to the bale (of cot ton) He let the hay remain in the cotton because the rain ruined his fodder ! Vcr i bum sap.. The Trustees of the Edgefield Female Academy have bought the house and lot below the Episcopal Church, and thither, in future, we suppose, thc young ladies and little girls of our community will repair for School. On Sale-day-as late as pct- Gth-Col. Sam. Marsh brought in a large load of f fine watermelons. Some of them are still at the Drug Storeof Clisby & Lynch, where all who wish, can go, and eat, and die. . Bishop Howe, of the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina, will make his annual visit to Trinity Church in this place in the last part of the present mon.li. He will preach, and administer the rites of | Baptism', Confirmation and the Holy Communion on Sunday, the 26th inst. Oar town and its vicinity are extreme ly healthy-no fever, no chills, no dip theria. Mrs. Pickeus has returned home from a long trip to Virginia and New York. A lodge of Good Templars has been formed lately at Ridge Spring, of which our much esteemed young friend, Mr. J. B, Brown, is the Worthy Patriarch. The Quattiebaums, pere et flit, now Air-Line citizens of Gainesville, Ga, were in town on Sale-day with a drove of | very fine horses and mules. We fear the panic operated against them. At the close of the day, our merchants were decidedly and unreservedly down in the mooth. Their sales and collections on this day, as contrasted with past sale-days in Oc tober, made a picture which they could not contemplate very serenely. Our merchants are voung fellows and fine fellows, and our publicshould back them up generously in these'dark days. The Sabre Clubbers will be out in full force again on Saturday, the 18th. There were slight frosts in this vicinity on the mornings of the 7th and 8th inst Fell Among Thieves Who Stripped him of his Raiment. School Commissioner George Morgan . goes from Edgefield to Columbia, and falls among thieves who strip him of his raiment. Commissioner Morgan who is a fine-looking, polite colored man, sports ? afine watali, and dresses well, repairs " 'tb the capital to attend a sort of conven tion of his brother Commissioners. Upon arriving- he goes straightway to Treasurer Cardoso, who, although he has no money on 'land.for School Commissioners, ob liges him with a few dollars. He theil meets his two colored friends, Col. John Green and Nesbitt Perry, Esq . both o'. distinguished Edgefield antecedents. iL' accepts au invitation to sojourn at Mr. Green's hotwe', and laying himself down among friends and countrymen, shares , Mr. P's bed.- At.break of day Commis sioner Morgan hears Mr. Perry driving a team in his sleep., He looks up, and, discovering a window open near thc bedt thinks it won id not be - unwise to see af ter his watch. He looks, and rinds vest and watch gone. He rises and thinks Uo will draw on his pants and penetrate the mystery. Panto gone ! Coat gone ! High dress suit forever lost to hight i Eyes, : -scarcely loft hi the Commissioner'? head ! He borrows a pair of pants from Mrs. G. Whother they, were Mrs. G's own pants or not is a qu?stion. However they hide the Commissioner's nakedness and lighten his blushes. But nothing doe-, the Commissioner find. And again, naked and humiliated, a victim of con fidence in old friends, he repairs to the' State Treasurer-and is again slightly . "heeled" hy the same. And now Commissioner Morgan is at nonie again, with good clothes once more, but cbagru^ad^wn^ to tile ground at his inability totoB-hft -Winds the time of >;day?-(He>wyshe has not a doubt but that Green and Perry were "conjunk" In robbing him. And truth to say, this sort of " cunjuuk" business is an' every " day matter with ibo* party to which the _ Remarkably Worthy of Note. During the past week, despite the money panie? the large .humber pf men women and children-especially ladies and little ones-who have flpoked to Mr. Manget's store, has been worthy of note. Still more worthy of note however has been the great and anani mous satisfac tion expressed at the articles there ob tained-at tho beautiful new goods, ai the astoundingly low prices, . at the charming behavior-'of-Mr. Manget and Mr. Johnnie Bee. Were we in pursuit bf Dry Goods, Groceries, Shoes, Hats, Notions, we know of no place in this broad County into which we" had rather fall just now than into Mr/ Manget's. Read his card and yield immediately to his seductions. A Horrible Tale About Mr. Lebeschultz Well we don't mean that exactly either. We only mean that it is horrible to go into Mr. Lebeschultz's store and look at the beautiful new Clothing and44 things," and have no money to buy them with ! Positively the most beautiful Mens Clothing and Furnishing Goods ever made by human fingers or divinely-in vented sewing machine ! And as for the " things," they are-but read Mr. Lebe schultz's new fall card in another column. I? you have money, even $3, a trip to Mr. Lebeschultz's will not be horrible, but entrancing. Save Money I Truly we learn wisdom from the ( mouths of babes and sucklings I The . above wise admonition-most wise !-is given to the public by our young friend, \ Mr. John J. Harrison (Johnnie) who has set up a fine Grocery Store at Mr. Penn's old stand, next door above Mr. Bryan's. When Shakspeare, in Othello, gave the world the same advice, there was no financial panic in vogue ; times were easy. Consequently Johnnie has hit the nail more plum on the head than Shak speare ! Read Mr. Harrison's card, and remember where to go to save money. Religious Notice. We are requested to state that the Rev. Wm. Thomas will preach in the Metho dist Church of this toWn on Saturday and Sunday next-forenoons and even ings. On Sunday afternoon next, Mr. Thomas will preach at Harmony. Barning of an Old Mansion in Ham burg, The old Stokes mansion, in a retired part of Hamburg, near the river, was consumed by fire on Monday afternoon -with all its furniture and contents. It was the home of the widow of the lato Dr. Jeremiah Stokes, and of her grand son, Mr. J. H. Thayer. An adjoining house, occupied, but not owned, by Mr. John Lyon, was also consumed. Mr. Lyon saved bis furniture. We under stand that Mrs. Stokes' loss is covered by an insurance of $4 OOO. A third house, adjoining Mr. Lyon's, likewise fell a prey to the Hames. It was valued at ?750. The Latest Claimants at Johnston's. The latest claimants; at Johnston's, for the favor and tho money ot the public, are Jones <fc Strother, who, as will be seen by reference to their announcement in another column, offer for sale a New and Fine Stock of Dry Goods etc. The Jones is ?*Capt. Tom;" the Stother is a son of Mr. George Strother-all of the real right stripe. We wish them well. A New Teague at Johnston's. For the card ol' Calhoun ifc Teague, at Johnston's, we beg general attention. Mr. Teague, the new member, is a brother of Dr. Jeff. Teague. And by the by, the Advertiser owes him all courtesy, re membering him kindly as a former Editor of the Laureusville Herald. Mr. Teague is experienced in cotton-buying -a branch of busines for which the firm announce themselves ready. For tire Advertiser. A " Rebel'? Among the Wooden Nut meg People. A young friend on a visit to friends in Connecticut, sends us the following en tertaining letter : CONNECTICUT RI VKK YALLET, Mass., September 10,1873. EDITOR ADVERTISKR,-Thinking a few lines from this portion of the world may prove of interest to your readers, I will try to give an idea of what is going on. The farmers aro all very busy getting in their crops. The staple one is tobacco, of which they are making quantities; tho yield is from 1500 to ?SOO lbs per acre; the price ranges from 15 to 23 cents per lb. in the hand. Though tobacco is their main cropAi may say that they raise al most eveJ^hing except cotton. Onions make a considerable crop with these people, the yield being from 3 to 5 hundred bushels per acre. And I heard ? reliable man say that he had seen OOO bushels gathered from an acre, the price being from li to 12 dollars per bushel. They realize from 4 to 7 hundred dollars gross per acre, from nearly all the land they cultivate! Farming land is worth from 100 to 400 dollars per acre. Tho farmers manure very heavily, some of them putting as much as 125 dollars worth of stable ma nure to the acre. I paid a visit on yes terday to the Green River works, the great Table Cutlery Factory of J. Rus sel tfc Co., and was introduced to the president Mr. Chapman, who is always on hand, and found him to be a very ac oommoduting and courteous gentleman. He took us through thc works and ex plained everything in a very plain and impressive manner, which he is fully competent to do, as he has been connect ed with the works for the last 35 years The Company formerly manufactu' ?d in Greenfield, but finding their water power insufficient for their extensive business, .they abandoned their buildings there and removed to Turner's Falls on the Connecticut River, where they have a 700 horse power. They have "put up two large brick buildings, each of which is 600 feet in length, ono 60 and the other i 35 in breadth ; besides which tficy have about 200 feet of smaller buildings. They generally employ fioo operatives, ! but have <?nly 450 at.this time.- They employ a good many Trish and Germans. Their business is immense, their usual stock in finished goods being from three to 4 hundred thousand dollars, bot the -demand for their goods lately has been so groat as.fco. reduce their stock to about two hundred thousand. In short, J. Russel & Co's. Cutlery Mann factory is a perfect success, and persons dealing with President Chapman, may feel sat isfled that they aro dealing with an hon est man. The people here are both hospitable and sociable, and seemed happy to ex tend a hearty welcome even to a rebel South Carolinian. Yet I must ?ay that a good niany seemed surprised to seo a peaceful and civilized man from our State, and some would openly make the remark tbat "he looks civil enough." There are a great many who proclaim loudly against tho present government in South Carolina, and most of them whom I,conversed with are.very bitter against " Salary Grab," and T think the latter maj' possibly have some force in the next election. I feel that I have already introduced too much on your valuable time, so hoping I may hare the pleaxureof meet ing Edgefield friends soon again, I now bid you adieu. E. A. -?? .IQ?,, ?

And for that purpose, have put up a Steam Engino and Cotton Press, with commodious Buildings, at Edgefield Vil lage, and are now ready to receive Cot ton, and hope by honest, fair dealing, to merit a liberal patronage. Our terras for Ginning aud Packing will be One-Fifteenth of tho quantity re ceived ; and if we furnish Bagging and Ties, our charge for them will be $2.60 for 8 yards of best Double Anchor Bag ging, weighing 2i lbs. to the yard,, and 6 Ties to the Bale. We have put up two of Carver's Im proved Gins,-famous for picking clean, and line sample. It is a settled fact, that cotton ginned by steam or water power, will turn out 15 pounds more lint to a five hundred pound bale, than that gin ned by horse power ; and wo hope soon, to convince the planters of this vicinity, that it is cheaper to have us Gin their Cotton than to Gin it at home. We have not yet put our Huller and Grain Mill in operation, but expect to do so as soon as the Ginning season is over, of which event the public will he ad vised through the Advertiser". F. L. SMITH.
