Timmerman, our fellow townsman, had the misfor tune to lose last week a valuable mule and horse, recent purchases. A local weather prophet says we are .going to have more cold weat her, and that the fruit crop will not be safe until after the *5th hist. ' Napoleon frequently said that there are no bad men continuosly and uninterruptedly bad, and no good men continuously and un interruptedly good. The liquor men in this State have vamoosed the ranch. Acting upon the advice of their counsel they have determined to go out of the business after the first of July.

Sam Taylor says that ground-hog meat makes as good bacon as any other hog, especially when bacon is so very high. He says up in North Carolina the people mske regular rations of it. R. A. Tompkins, of our town, has been appointed assistant to the naval commandant at Port %Royal with a salary of $3500 per year. The appointment is due to the efforts of Senator M. C. Butler.

Livingston has mov ed his meat stall from the railroad depot to the town and occupies the room recently vacated by the Hol son boys, next to Mr. D. T. Grice's livery stables. Mr. Livingston totes fair and totes square in all his dealings and will serve the public well and generously for any demands in his lino of beef, pork, mutton, &c. In a copy of the ADVERTISER dated March 22, 1866, which we have before us, we - notice the fol lowing articles were selling in Edgefield at the prices named : Flour, $15 to $16; corn, $2; lard, 20 cents, bacon 15 to 18 "cents; coffee, 40 to45 cents; rice, 10 to 12+ cents ; sugar, 24 to 33 cents ; salt, per sack, $8; iron, 15 cents ; nails, 15 cents ; shot, 30 cents ; powder, $1 to $1.25; indigo, $2 to $3 50; blue stone, 35 cents; factory thread, $3. 75 : shirtings, seven-eights, 35 cents per yard. Cotton was quoted here at 23 cents, in Charleston at 37 cents,'and in New York at 40 cents. It is in teresting to compare the prices then with the prises now. The iniquities ol the father may sometimes be visited upon his de scendants, even to the third or . fourth generation, but lhere is a degree of compensation in the fact that the good deeds of an ancestor come as blessings upon the heads of those who follow in the line of descent. Half a century ago a kind-hearted woman in Pennsyl vania took charge of the five chil dren of a man who was executed for-the murder of his wife. She went co her final reward years ago, but one of the children whom she befriended in the purest charity, died recently and left the woman's grandchild a pleasant fortune of $200,000. When gratitude survives generations, the fact is one of those truths that is - stranger tu^n fic tion.-Ex. How to Kill Hawks. As this is the season when hawks most do worry the housewife, we give the following as a sovereign remedy for killing these bipeds. Take some crystalized strychnine, pulverize it, then make it into a paste with some honey or syrup, and put it on the back of the heads of a brood of chickens and let them go out where the hawks can catch them. You will lose some chickens, but for every chicken you lose you will kill a hawk. The mixture should be blacked with a little soot or something else to keep the chickens from picking it off the heads of one another. It should be applied about once a week and put down under the feathers. A piece about twice the size of a pin head is larg* enough. Liutless Cotton. Some of our farmers are getting wild about lintless cotton. The high price of cotton seed is the cause of this, we suppose. But, don't be deluded ; lintless cotton is a h-u-m-b-u-g. The Enterprise House. Mr. W. H. Turner has rented Mr. Will Stroms's residence and has christened it "The Enterprise House." Mr. Turner will make an excellent boniface, and will wel come the coming and speed the parting guest with old time hospi tality. A Brave Boy. Our young friend Wallace Pres cott last week submitted to the painful operation ot having one of his eyes taken out. He bore the ordeal bravely, and is recovering rapidly from the shock. The operation was performed in Au gusta by Dr. Hull. Fine Animals. Mr. Winchester McDaniel, of ;he "West side, has a number of ine colts that for beauty, size, and points cannot be equalled this side of Kentucky-the blue grass .effion at that-and he has a Jersey ;alf that would have weaned the ?hildren of Israel away from their golden calf. In Earthquake. Last Friday about 6 o'clock in he morning we had a bona fide ?hock of earthquake. It wasn't severe enough to make us run out >f our houses, as was stated in one >f the newspapers, but it was a list met shock, accompanied by the >ld familiar roar, and we hear >laster was shaken d >wn and things attled considerably in several louses in our village. k.

At a meeting of our citizens last ( friday afternoon the following own council was nominated : For ntendaut, W. W. Adams; War- 1 ens, Luther Bell, P. B. Mayson, < Csq., J. E. Schumpert, Chas. ?

Mr. John C. Morgan, living near Parksviile, and one of the best 'armers in the country, proposes to nake a new departure this year in 'anning. He intends to plant his and in alternate rows of cotton md speckled peas. He thinks ie'11 make nearly as much cotton :his way, and have the peas addi tional, and gain much in improv ing his land with the humus and immonia furnished by the pease. k neighbor of Mr. Morgan's made i like experience last year and was oighly pleased with the result. [n Love. The McCormick News tells of a jourting dude in that section supposed to be an Edgefield youth -"who goes to see a young widow from Dornsville, and every time for an excuse he goes about three miles out of the way. While he is talking to the gay widow he is so enrapt iu conversation and love he leaves one of his leggins, and goes back the next few days and sails to get them, but the sprightly widow could not find but one, but he sp.ys, I will take that one, I wilr jail and get the other one in a few lays." improving. Mr. G. G. Lewis, whose injuries in the railroad accident of some ?veeks since, which we made men tion of last week, is still unable to ;et about much, although he does so to a limited extent upon his ?rutches. We are not in favor of nulctiug railroads in extortionate iamages on any and all occasions ind under any pretext, but in this iccident, from all we can hear, the railroad authorities are totally in excusable, and the collision was reckless, simply a piece of gross negligence, if not actual defiance of all proper care and foresight to prevent damage and danger to the iife and limbs of passengers. A. Chance for Somebody. The fruit crop promises to-be so ibundant that we think some en terprising citizen ought to estab lish a cannery. Upon this subject ;he Piedmont Headlight says : "It is surprising how small a capital ie required to start a cannery. We oave investigated the matter, and ind. that a plant having a daily ;apacity of 2,000 cans of three pounds each will not cost for its mtire equipment more than $100, )xclusive of the building and the orick used for the chimneys and to jet the kettles. The equipment cor a 4,000 canning factory can be oad for $200, not including bricks or building. Three hundred dol lars will buy the equipment for a factory turning out daily 10,000 ians of three pounds each. The iverage labor cost in a 4,000 can factory is about $25 per day. A Whip-poor-W?l Hollered. Summer is here and the fear of frost may be dismissed,-the dul cet notes of the Whip-poor-will were heard in the incorporation on Sunday night last. An Old Engineer. It has been proposed to send Uncle Joe Hatton to the World's Fair at Chicago, to be exhibited as the first engineer in America and the oldest engineer in the world. Uncle Joe is now Hying at Green wood in this State, and is 92 years of age. Chirpings from Choty. MR. EDITOR : The wintry clouds have passed away and the genial sunshine warms up. the earth. The long-haired, hide-bound, hollow horned, weather-beaten cattle are basking and bathing their rheu matic joints in the warm fays of a spring sun. The bird is on tho wing, the trees buddeth and the bees are humming a new anthem. Fish bait is in reach of the angler,' and the spring poet cometh * forth with his verse "dashed off" dur ing the eight inch snow. The "gee and haw" of the plowman is heard iii the land, whill our noses are twisted shapeless by the fumeB of "soluble pacific." . Messrs. Joe Wilson and Joe Prince have both a new baby girl, while Eddie Reardon has two. Neither of thu Joes could ever even call hogs, but now it would surprise you to know how melo diously they can sing. "Bye 0," as they rock to and fro. I can't say whether Reardon will ever warble so sweetly, as he has not yet re turned from the canebrake on Stevens ?reek. Theso sudden ap pearances open a new departure for one of our enterprising farmers who-?s planting his entire crop in catnip. James Garrett, son of H. C. Garrett, M. D., has returned to his father's former home, where he is living in bachelor's bliss, free from :are and the cruel vicissitudes of life. Farming is his fort. He ?vishes to raise hogs, if he can sc iure the stock that can out run a negro. I think he is going to im port the bow and razor back finny' ?tock from the piney woods, the ? ind that measures eighteen inches from eyes to end of nose. More jelibacy and lone living in Ch?ty aow than since "befo' de wah." rhe bachelors are going to hold a xiass meeting to formulate some plan to remedy this distressing state of affairs. . The Hon. - Dr. Tim merman has seen among us lately. He must a ave been impressed by the beauty rf some of our girls, for on his re turn home a junior Dr. Timmer man appeared in Chxyt^^As^hi rnluTii"nof^wi?h??^ honor save in hia own country," we may expect what the future may bring forth and an increase of Choty bachelors especially as other stranger boys are becomiLj much attached to this climate. The Pine Grove school is flour ishing under tha auspices of the competent and pretty Miss Mamie Cartledge. Mime's mill now accommodates the public under the management of Messrs. George Sharpton and P. B. Whatley. J. N. Griffis "busted" on popcorn last year, but now he thinks the catnip crop will pay handsomely. Fruit was not injured by the late cold, consequently we are smack ing our ruby lips in anticipation of fried jacks when we visit our neighbors next winter. Until tho buzzards nest again I bid you adieu. RIP V. WINKLE. Elmwood Items. MR. EDITOR : Farm work is pro gressing nicely. Some cotton has been planted and corn is up and growing, in places. A rabbit can hide himself al most anywhere now in the fields of small grain. I believe their favor ite hiding place is in Mr. Nichol son's'spring oats. He says he acts upon his own judgment as to when is the best -time to sow. There is very little sickness in this and the community adjacent. Our M. D.'s, some, at leas':, speak of going away to "broader fields and pastures new." Others are going to turn tueir energies to farming. Dr. Bell, of Bowles' Mountain, si ys he is going to raise wheat ; he says he. took dinner with some one not long since, and when he rose from the table he put one or two biscuits in his pocket, carried them home to the children. They, the children, having forgotten the looks of a biscuit, took them to be terrapins and put fire on their backs to make 'em crawl. Mrs. Dave Strother w?TB* visited last week by Misses Georgia and Tallulah Nicholson; the latter also paid her cousin Miss Carrie Talbert, of Parksville, a short but pleasant visit. It is generally believed that the trembling of an earthquake was. felt between sun up and day on Friday morning last-if it wai I not an earthquake it waa certainly (very strange thunder. More anon. PROBLEM. Elmwood, S. C. Dots from Dennys. MR. EDITOR : Since last writing j a great many of the farmers have j finished planting corn ; Bom? have planted cotton. "Farmer Bob" will not.put in his cotton so early this year as he did last. Rev. St. Clair, the pastor on the I Butler circuit, preached an excel- J lent Easter sermon at Shiloh April 2nd,which was certainly a treat to | the young people as they had never heard one before. The pastor on the Batesburgj circuit (Rev. J. B. Tray wick) ex changed pulpits with the pastor on the Saluda cirouit (Rev. E. P. Taylor) April 9th, and delivered an excellent sermon at Bailer; he served this charge about ten years ago ; consequently he preached to a large concourse of friends. Our . handsome young friend, | Mr. N0s?i^Ridlehoover, of John ston, spent a few days last week in the neighborhood pf Dennys his former home,. Two more months of hard study and the students at the varions colleges can once more enjoy the unbounded hospitalities of home. Tlr? jii^?c -season will soon be upon na again. The health of the community is very good, with the exception of a few cases of la grippe. Rain is very much needed now; small grain. would be especially j benefited by a good shower. The fruit crop in this section of I the country is very promising; perhaps the ladies, will have a great deal of. canned fruits j pre serves, and jellies for the winter. Denne, S.
