Mrs. Vary Crane vs. the C. C & A
Railroad.
Since the opening of the Court of Com
mon Pleas on Tuesday afternoon of last
week, the most important case disDOsed
of was the suit of Mrs. Vary Crane against
the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta
Railroad for damages-$10.000. Oar

Trenton not very long ago, by which
Mrs. Crane and her son were thrown from
their buggy, the buggy being smashed up
and the' horse killed Mrs Crane was
represented by Butler ?fe Simkms. and by
Arthur S. Tompkins. Esq. The Railroad
was represented by the Sheppard Broth
era. Senator Butler, Lieut-Gov. Shep
pard/ and Mr. Arthur Tompkins made
able speeches in the case. The jury gave
Mrs. Crane $500.

Mr. Cantelon's Cotton Dropper
In another column will be found an ad
vertisement of this machine. When such
good farmers as Mr. Cantelon. Capt. Ben
Mays, X. L Brunsen, Jas. Mathis, Capt.
Guerard, Wm. Walton and others testify
to its merits, anything we could say would
be altogether superfluous. Remember this
machine is not a "Cotton Planter," but a
"Cotton Dropper," and the seed come up
chopped out, approximately. On next
Salesday one of these Droppers will be on
exhibition at Edi/efield C. H., snd our
wide awake farmers are invited to exam
ine it critically.
Hot from the Factory.
Hot from the factory-with the seal of
the manufacturers upon them-and with
out the intervention of middle men. We
allude to Mr. Jas. M. Cobb's newly ar
rived invoices of Shoes and Boots-Borne
sixteen hundred dollars worth at one
'swoop. Shoes ?of tfie miinon'T" Shoes W
every age ! Shoes for every condition of
life! Shoes for every rank of society !
See Mr. Cobb's own words in another col
umn. And in weighing the matter of
Cobb's shoes, do not overlook what he
says about Spring Prints and Ready
made Clothing. '
MR. JACOB L. SMITH, Little Saluda, S.
C., J une 20,1S82, says : " I am well pleas
ed with the Acme Harrow. Have tried
it on white bottom land, clods very stiff
and hard. With proper weight it pul
verized well ; and on turf land nothing
can beat it. I think it will be the idea
for covering grain. It is the best thing
in the way of a Harrow I have ever seen."

Buckeye Harvesting Muchines.
I am agent for the Buckeye, made by
C. A uitman A Co., Canton, Ohio, and I
am able to furui h farmers who need
either a Binder, Combined or Single Self
Raking Reaper, Dropper or Mower with
such machines as they require. The sol
id merits of the grain and grass cutting
machines manufactured by C. Aultman
?fe Co. have made thc Buckeye a house
hold word in every civilized land. At
every World's fair it has borne away the
nigh os i honors. It has been absent from
no great competitivo field-trial during
the past twenty-five years, and the Buck
eye has not failed in a single instance tc
carry off the highest prize over all com
petitors. These tact? conclusively prove
the superiority of the mechanism of the
Buckeye, and there are few corners ic
the land where there are not Buckeye
Mowers and Reapers whose owners will
vouch for their surpassing durability.
No labor-saving machine has ever gain
ed such a splendid reputation in the har
vest field as the Buckeye Twine Binder.
As to durability, easy'draft, good bal
ance, convenience in handling, reliabili
ty in good binding, separation, and free
dom from side-draft and from all the
vexations and stoppages that mark the
conduct of other, bindera in the field,
there is perfect unanimity of testimony
on tueTpart of the seven 'thousand pur
chasers of 1882 Buckeyes that the ma
chine is without a peer in the birnie;
field. Although as many more binden
will be made for 188.'l as the careful con
struction which characterizes all of C
Aultman ?fe Co.'s products will admit of
it ia not expected that all orders can bi
filled. More binders had been sold a
the works np to November 1st than ha<
been made, though fifty completo ma
chines are turned out daily. I take grea
pleasure in commending tho Buckey
Binder, SD confident am I of the satis
factiou it will render, and I most respect
fully invite all my farmer friends io care
folly examine the claims of the Buck
eye before ordering a binder for nex
season's work.

crowns and shirred brims, and, where it
is becoming, there is a faoe trimming in

ostrich tips, crushed roses, lace and huge
buckles of paste or gold or silver in fili

I A Handsome and Happy "Wedding
Johnston.
On Tuesday evening, March 20th, 1*368,
in theMethodist Episcopal Church, Joh
1 i ston, S. C., Mr. R. ALBERT SCOTT an
Miss NANNIE I. DUNLAP, daughter o
Mrs. M. H. DUNLAP, we?-? united in
marriage, by the Rev. W. A. Rodgers.
" True love is love whose wonder
Urows lovelier with the ages,
Forever in Its prime."
The scene was a holy and a beautlfu
one. The bride is gentle, lovely and be
loved. The bridegroom is manly, popu
lar and faithful. The church was ex
quisitely garlanded with green and white,
and the happy couple stood beneath i j
bridal bell of tender arbor vit?, whose,!
tongue was a sno wy and pendent Calla."
The bridal tram consisted of Miss Era
ma Calhoun on tho arm of Mr. Robert
Cartledge; Miss Carrie Kernaghan and
Mr. W. B. Eoyd ; Miss Cassie Morgan
and Mr. Jeff* Lewis ; Miss Sallie McKay.
11 and Mr. W. T. Riley, of Bronson ; Miss'
Ella McLenna and Mr. Goo. W.Wright;
Miss Lilian Mobley and Mr. C. M. Rau
ton; Miss Lizzie Griffin and Mr. Henry
G. Wright ; M1&8 Alma Griffin, of Lau-,,
rena, and Dr. J. E. Cowies ; Miss Mamie j
Teague, the youthful and lovoly cousin
of the bride, and Mr. Thomas Philpot,
of Augusta; the brido and bridegroom.
As tho bridal procession moved up the
aisles of the church, Mr. James T. Ba
con, au old and falthful.'.friend of the
bride, played a march on the organ.
Toe church, brilliancy lighted, lilied
to its utmost capacity, fairy-like and fra
grant with flowers, beaming with bright
faces aud brilliant bits of coloring, pre
sented a tout ensemble of fascinating love
lines*.
Tho fair bride wore a long train of]
softest cream nun's voiling, profusely f
trimmed wi h very wide Spanish lace,
anoverskirt en tablier of heavy white"
satin in long pendeut points, almost cov
ered with Spanish lace, a basque of
mingled veiling, satin and lace, a bouquet
du corsage of Cornelia Cook roses, a
floating veil of white tulle and a coronet
f orange flowers. Her shoe?, gloves,
fan and handkerchief were of rare |
beauty.
The bridesmaid* wore lovely white
dresses with short round skirts. The
marriage ceremony was beautiful, sol
emn and impressive; and as these two
outhful and happy beings knelt at
God's holy altar, our soul said for them:
'.Ah, ye who now are treading
Where older souls have trod
List to the deeper teaching
Of life, far reaching;
List to the hopes sublimest
That bloom in Man and God."
And now what matters the rest? The
merely earthly part? The reoeption
the frast- the presents? Tho reception,
at the home of the bride's mother-was
perfect in its style, elegance and hospi
tality. The feast was fit for a king. The
presents were such as behooved the fond
love of many faithful friends towards so
fair and beloved a bride.
Mr. and Mrs. Scott will carry to their
home the best wishes of many commu
nities. May their wedded life be as hap
py as their youth has been puro and un.
selflah.
" We li ve for love, for love alone, and
who
Dare ?hide us for Ur Who dare call it
folly ?
It is a holy thing, if aught is holy,
And true indeed, if truth herself is true;
Earth cleaves to earth, its sensuous life !
is dear ;
Mortals should loveuiortality while here,
And seize the glowing hours before thev
fly;
Bright eyes should answer ey , warm
lips should meet.
And hearts enlocked to kiudred hearts
should beat,
And every soul that lives, in love should
llvo and die."

Champion Uar vestios; Machines.
J hive been appointed A?ent for thf>
sale of theT machines in Edgefielri. 1
u?ed two of the Heavy or~So. 1 Siugle
Koapers (5 ft cut) on my farm near " 90"
last year. Two mules pulled them with
ease and they coat nothing for repairs.
Two of my neighbor?, Messrs. John A.
Wise and J. 0 Lanham, used the Light
Center Cut Hearer (5 ft. cut) on the rough
hilly lands of Horn's Creek and will en
dorse them a.-* giving satisfaction and be
ing of eaev draft. Col. O. F. Cheatham
also used ono on his Log Creek placo.
Mr, J. L. .Shaw used a machine lii>e
mine at Cherokee Ponds and was charmed
with it. 1 bought all these machine and
before doing ao, made diligent enquiry as
to the merits of many other kinda, and
became convinced the Champion, if not
the best, was as good as auy; and a n ial
proved them to be strong, fimule and of
much lighter draft than others 1 saw used.
All of U3 set them up and ran them without
the aid of an expert or machinist. I do not
expect to make a living by selling PrapeiH
and .Mowr.re and can afford to divide the
profits usually made by Agents with my
brother farmer?, and a comparison of prices
will prove this. Every Machine sold will
be warranted to do good work and be as
represented or the monev refunded. 1
would advise any one wishing a Reaper
c.- Mower to order early, whether from
me or not, so as to get it home and "learn
the hang ol' it" before it. is needed.
Orders can be taken now and payment
made on delivery. I cannot fill any order
