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.

A Brave Boy.
Our young friend Wallace Pres

painful operation ot having one

ordeal bravely, and is recovering
rapidly from the shock. The

Fine Animals.
Mr. Winchester McDaniel, of

ine colts that for beauty, size, and
points cannot be equalled this
side of Kentucky-the blue grass

1 New Departure.
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.

An Old Engineer.
It has been proposed to send

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

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

Cartledge.
Mime's mill now accommodates

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

of fried jacks when we visit our
neighbors next winter.
Until tho buzzards nest again I
bid you adieu.

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.

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.
