i Edgefield Advertiser L0GA12 BREVITIES. The Edgefield High School oloses on Friday of this week. ?! We are glad to see friend John Lott up again after a spell of fever. . Miss Lillie Jones left our town on Monaay for a trip to Glenn Springs and Union. Dr. Price Timinennan, youngest] son of Senator Timmerman was in town ou Monday. The world is full of people who have never tasted what they say they do not like. Scientists say that a head of j lettuce contains almost as many j - inhabitants as China. Dr. J. H. Self, a receut graduate of the Georgia Medical College was I in^Edgefield this week. Bills^of Sale and Mortgages of personal and real estate for sale at * thc ADVERTISER office. Kev. A. B. Watson delivered an eloquent sermon in our village Methodist church on Sunday morn ing last. Mr. J. Hoffman and family from Aiken have been spending some time with Mr. W. T. Hoff- ? - man. Messrs. B. F. and S. T. Lewis j were in town on Monday and transacted some important busi ness in- the Master's office. A peculiarly delicious sauce made in Egypt and .served at ho tels is said to be the "essence bf j grasshopper." \ Trial Justice James S. Smyly, one of the brightest reformers and wits of the county was in town on j Tuesday. It is about time that some of our correspondents were advising us thafGeneral Green has taken holt r-" in thiis community." " An Englishman at a Buffalo (N. Y.) hotel ordered Indian cakes for breakfast under the impression that they were made by red men. Hon. W. H. Yeldell passed through ' town on Friday ou his way to Ridge Spring, where his son has been, attending the High School. There is more joy in heaven over the man who kicks;-T banana | -skin in the gutter than x>ver the ^ mos? fluent talker who gets his living by the gift of gab. p Rock Hill has denominated the last Monday in every month, dogs salesday, on which all the curs of high and low degree are sold. Perhaps this would be a good idea] for Edgefield. The commencement exercises of | Red Hill Academy begin on Sun day June 18th, and continue j . through Monday 19th. A pleas? ant occasion to those who can at-1 tend. , That is a funny piece wo pub lish in this issue from the Dar lington Reform-Sentinel, entitled the adventures of a country re porter while visiting the State dis- j pensary. Read ii . Mr. Peter Reece, an old citizen of this county, died at Edgefield on last Wednesday at a ripe old age. Mr. Reece was the father of Mark, Jim, and Joseph Reese, well known in this community. Mr.'Livingston, our beef man, has just put in an ice box in his stall, where he can keep beef cold ~ in the hottest weather, and where, should a fly have so much termeri ty as to light on it, he would 'freeze to death. Mrs. Mary E.Witt, living near Good Hope church, on last Thurs day night had her barn, stables, a horse and cow and a new wagon and buggy burned up. The fire is . supposed to have been produced from lighting. There was no in surance. The Methodist district confer? once will meet in Edgefield on the 6th of July and remain in session for several days. In a subsequent issue we will ?rive a list of dele gates and other information in re* gard to this conference. y . Edgefield bas now an institute for the cure of those terrible hab its-liquor, morphine, tobacco, and chloral-under the conduct of Dr. J. Glover Tompkins, one of the most talented and progressive young physicians of the State. Mr. Alfred Hughes, an old and respected citizen of Edgefield coun ty, departed this life at his home mear Trenton on Saturday of last week, and bis remains were interred m the Edgefield village cemetery on Monday. Mr. L. W. Reese, one of the most j prosperous farmers of the Savan nah River side, was in town on Thursday. Mr. Reese says the crops in his country are looking) fairly well, but cotton is not so far advanced as.is usual at this sea son. An exchange suggests this as a de of getting even with cut orras: "Paint pieces of wire n and stick them about in our garden. The worms will aw at them until their teeth are urn out and are then picked up the birds." Senator W. H. Timmerman, who, as one of a commission, has been at Coosaw for some time in vestigating phosphate matters in the interest of the State, has re turned home, but will probably go back again later, to finish up the work. . We see. in the Georgia pape that Dr. G wal tn ey has tendered I resignation to the church at At r ns ; hence we conclude he has c cide to accept the call rece ut ( xtended to him by the Bapti church here. Our thanks are tendered to tl invitation committee of the Edg field Light Dragoons for an ut vii tion to the annual picnic of th troop at Centre Springs on Thui day the 3rd August. The comm: , tee* consists of Capt. Jno. R. Bloc er, Lieut;. D. D. Bruuson, Liei J. R. Tompkins, F. R. Timmor S. Nicholson, and A. H. Ashley. Mr. L. ThrailkilL of the Rid, section was in Edgefield on sale day and renewed h is,.subscripts to the old paper, Mr. Thrailk: told us that the shipment peaches from the Ridge has ful begun, and the crop is a fair or The cold weather in the oar spring killed a good many peach but this was all the better for tl size and quality of those l?f t. Last Sunday, Rev. T. D. Ciar a former pastor of our village Ba tist church", preached at A ike with a view of accepting a ca from the church at that place. M Clark's old friends will be glad hear him at Edgefield before 1 returns to Hagerstown, Marylan Later: We have just heard th; Mr. Clark will preach in our villa] church on Wednesday night < this week. Mrs. Gena Sha fifer is getting u a series of children's dime roadie for the benefit of the Baptii church.

It is furthermore sta ted by Mr. John Terry of the Lick skillet section that his father nae told him of these sermons an( that when the services were con eluded the minister surprised thi congregation by jumping out o the window in rear of the pulpit thus taking French leave of thi sinners and saints. Fine Crops bi Beech Island-A Letter From "Winker." MB. EDITOR : Never seeing an] news from this part of the Stat? in your widely circulated paper, '. will attempt to give you a fe? dots: " The farmers in this section havi the finest crops of both cotton anc corn seen in many years ; the cot ton will average 2? feet, where i bas been well tended and m an ur ed, and is full of squares now The corn in the swamp is beauti fol, about waist high, and looks ai black as any Edgefield crow. Mr. L. H. Hankinson has thc finest melon crop to be seen about one hundred and fifty acrei -and they -are lapping now anc full of young melons. He expects to make his first shipment aboui the first of July. Next Saturday being the second Saturday, the Beech Island Farm ers' Club will give their monthly barbecue. Wish, Mr. Editor, you could be here to help pull some ol that fine pork and hash. The ladies of the Baptist church gave a lawn party in the beautiful grove in front of Mr. Wm.. Pan ton's on last Saturday the 27th. Ice cream, cake, lemon sherbert, and all other nice delicacies that were possible to be prepared by the fair ones, were served and quite a nice sum realized. Miss Buford Sims, of Columbia, is visiting her friend Miss Lottie Butt of this the garden spot of Carolina. Well more anon. Success to the old ADVERTISER. WINKER. Notes from Loiiginirej?. Crops arc looking very well in this section. Small grain is being cut and if, tolerably good. Rev. V. P. Blalock preached a very interesting sermon the last Sunday in May from second Peter, third chapter, and thirteenth verse : "Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness." Mr. E. L. West addressed the Sunday-school on the same day and gave some good advice to the rising generation. Mr. J. B. Mosely made an address the following Sunday. the debating scciety metcast night, the subject for discussion being. "Which is the more in structive, book reading or observa tion? Children's day at Bethany < Saturday before the third Sundi in June. Mr. W. G. Lovelace, who sh himself accidentally some tin ago, is cut again. Plums, June apples, and blac berries are ripening in chese di gings. The smartest young man in 01 neighborhood says he cannot g his mind together to get up speech for the, debating^>societ We don't know, but we think son girl has his mind and heart ai: soul. JACK. Bidge and Monetta Happening The heavy rains have almo drowned us. Roads and fields a: badly washed. - Cotton looks sicl ly, and instead of being full < squares and "flourishing like green bay tree," it is struggling 1 hold up its head with two or thrt leaves only. Corn looks tolerabl well though the crop generally : backward. Peaches are being shij ped to the front however. Fro] Ridge Spring, on Saturday, ovt 900 crates, and from Monetta 6om three or four hundred crates wei shipped north. Prices have, hov ever, dropped a notch or two. Several Ridge farmers are grap piing with the tobacco crop thi spring. Mr. T. S. Williams ha set out quite- an area iu tobaccc and C?ptaiu Jas. Boatwright has small patch of the weed. Ther are others also whose names I fai to recall. Yaucy Williams, son of Mr. T S. Williamf, bas gained the schol larship.at Annapolis, the Unit?? States Naval Academy. The COT*I petiting examination came off a Blackville a week or so ago. Yanc; is to leave very- soon, we hear, t< attend a preparatory and fittinj school at Annapolis. Mr. Andrew Watson has framet his canning and ginning establish ment and soon it will be in opera tion. May h? reap the success h< deserves. The South needs enter prising young men to build ui small industries of every kind anc in every way. Monetta is a busy little towi Jhese peachy, fruitful, Juue days but needs a schoolhouse, where the people can hold union service. " Sunday. A good school w ??. wonders for any place. ylThe exercises at Ridgf High School were quit? " The art exhibit w creditable to both , scholars, the china Misses Cornelia Watso* .a DuBose displayed great skill taste. Dr. Burrows delivered a tin( address, but Dr. B. is something o: an intelectual giant. Mr. and Mrs. James Boatwrighl and their three children are visit ing at their fathers, Capt. Jame? Boatwright, and the sweet gir] graduates are all coming home The graceful and refined Mist Ethel Boatwright has returnee from Macon, Wesleyan College with well won honors. The beautiful Miss Bettie Wat son is visiting her sister Mrs. Jone Keitt Wannamaker at St. Mat thews. All the women who have young sons, ought to hold a day of praise and thanksgivngs the day the bar rooms are shut up. The cries and tears of the wives, mothers, aud .sisters have surely reached unto Heaven. It was grand legislation that shut up the gates to degrada tion and vice and death eternal. X. Y. Mine Creek Dots. ' MR. EDITOR: J. S. Satcher & Co., went fishing a day or so ago down at Mr. Henry Padgetts mill. We haven't heard of the general proceedings. We had the pleasure of attend ing the closing exercises of the Emory High School, which would have been a great gratification to any one to have done. The pro gramme consisted of speeches, dia logues, essays, and music, which gave, only a soupcon of results of the school. The vocal music just relegated everything to the rear but ecstacy. The surprising thing of all was that the girls beat the boys on every hand. The last and next to the best thing was a debate. The subject was: "Which is the more favour able to an education, the country school or the city school.' The affirmative was defended by Messrs W; W. Rodgers and H. E. Unger] and the negative by Messrs. Jas. Heilong and Geo. Whitman. The decision was in favor of the affir-1 mative, but we think both sides deserved success. "Van Star" seems to eradicate that inevitable affection between the fair 'and sterner sex. He does nbt advocate proclivity of consue tudinal steps propagated by a ma jority. The Miue Creek and tho Mount Willing boys are talking of con solidating and having a joint de bate. Go it, boys ; while you are ? . '..." i in tho notion, keep in motion. M. J. D. Dunovant anticipates taking a collegiate course soon, in some, classical" institution. Our esteemed friend, Mr. N. D. Bodie, is teaching school at'Mrs. A. W. Denny's. Mr. J. W. McCright has got his saw mill in motion down on Reedy Branch. Well, what about chickens ? Have you an}' ripe ones in your vicinage ? We have plenty, but they are knotty and green. If you want to hear direct news from Harmony, just look for "K. Ds" piece in the Monitor next week, and you will find out something from "that hash." JOHN BLAKE. The Charleston Excursion. By J. Frank Fair of the Edgefield High School. Some setting up nearly all night, some walking the streets, some de pending on their alarm clocks, and some few asleep was the condition of our town and surrounding coun try on Monday -night the 23rd of May. But about three o'clock on Tuesday morning everybody crowd ed to the Edgefield depot to go down to Charleston on the much talked of excursion. This was gotten up by the Y. M. C. A., of this place for xheir special benefit. It left Edgefield at five o'clock with about two hundred and fifty passengers yelling at the top of their voices. In a few minutes we reached Trenton where our crowd was increased by nearly sev?nty-five, then picking up a few aloug the road until we reached Aiken, oar crowd was again in creased by fifty or sixty of the Aiken people. In a few minutes we ^et out ou the old South Caro lina railroad to Charleston. We had a short but pleasant ride before we reached Branchville a beautiful town at the junction of the 3 C's (Charleston, Cincinnati, and Chicago) and the South Caro lina railroad. The next place of any impor tance-was new Denmark, situated at the junction of the South Caro lina and South Bound railroad. This place we shall always remem ber as" being the place of the famous lynching of John Peterson. He was hung to a small pine tree and after being cut down the tree was cut off about ten ?Vrf- ?-A1 . Li.* mm for a "nick's" worth which he: gave him, just then the train started off and the two had quite a race but "cuffy" got left without his nick. We reached Charleston about eleven a. m., and then took street cars and went down to the wharf, there securing a steamer we struck out for the islands. We went out by Fort Sumter which is about four miles from the city. This fort is where the first gun of the late war waB fired and is now a very strong fort: Thence we went uver to Sullivan's Island. This is a famous summer resort and is noted for its beautiful beach. We got to see Fort Moultre which is on this island and also the grave of the great Indian chief Osceolla who died through grief, being confinecTln one of the cells of this fore as a prisoner. In this fort there are cells resembling those of a jail, and here many old pieces of iron and bottles and stoves may be found. One of our boys, being "kinder green," asked his escort if they shot those bottles and stoves in the cannons, which were placed abont twenty, steps behind the fort amid thousands of balls, but he was not much pleased with his answer. Then going up on top of the tort wo looked at the sea and the beach. It was a beautiful sight to see the waves coming in and about two hundred people on the sea shore rambling about in the beautiful sand hunting shells. Leaving this, island we boarded our steamer and set out for the city, but while on the way some of our crowd not being used to the water and the sea breeze lost their hats. After a very pleasant ridy on the waters we roache,I the city. Then going down Meeting Street we reached the Battery which pro bably with its beautiful palmetto and other trees and monuments and pretty buildings in front is one of the prettiest places of Charles ton. We then took street cars and going up Meeting Street saw the great Charleston Hotel which is the finest in the city, with its enor mous pillars nearly twenty feet in circumference. Thea up King Street to the depot, where we ate, drank, and talked until 7:30. Then the train started off for Edgefield. After each o.ie had told what he had seen and the boys had finished niakiug love to' their girls, nearly everybody went to. sleep, having lost so much the night befoie, and those who were not asleep were trying to get so. So the crowd was not so jolly coming back as' *hey were going down, but neve rtheless we reached'Edgefield about 1:20 on "Wednesday morning. Then each one made for home and the bed. j Those who did not go missed a great deal and a grand opportunity, and if they should ever have such an opportunity again. I would ad vise them to go. At the first indication of disor der, the deranged or enfeebled con dition of the stomach, liver, bowels, should be promptly rectified by Ayer's Catharic Pills. These Pill * do not gripe, are perfectly safe to take, and remove all tendency to livei and bowel complaints. List of Letters Remaining in the Post Office.
