Edgefield Advertiser WEDNESDAY, OCT. 31, 1894. LOCAL! BREVITIES. Mrs. Jennie Holloway visited her sister, Mrs. W. E. Prescott, last week. More cotton carne into this market last week thau during any week of the season. Mr. James Boykin, of Aiken, visited his grandmother, Mrs. Caroline Abney, in Buncombe last week. Competition, like Crockett's coon, has to come down. Ramsey & Bland are after it with their low price gun. Mr. Hugh Anderson has been added to the constabulary force by Gov. Tillman, and left Edgefield on Saturday last for the haunts of the blind tiger. Mr. P. B. Whatley, living in the Franklin neighborhood, lost his barn containing a large quantity of corn, fodder, etc., by fire last week. No insurance. Mr. Edgar Reynolds, of the Lib erty Hill section, had the misfor tune to lose his dwelling house by fire one day last week. There was partial insurance, we believe. The fearful forest fires showed what a tyrant fire can be when uu controlable. But in Ramsey & Bland's new cook ?tovas fire be comes a most beneficent servant. The planet Mar."', which can be seen after dark in the eastern sk}-, is now nearer to the earth thau it has beeu in seventeen years, or will be for that length of time. A limited number of extra well fitting buggy and team collars at the purse-fitting figures may be found this week at Ramsey &. Bland's. The plant of happiness cannot thrive without the air of cheerful ness. The growth in your house will be very noticeable, however, if Ramsey & Bland's wall papers are used. While iu Columbia, Lillian Lewis, the actress, interviewed Gov. Tillman for a news letter syn dicate which she represents. The interview will doubtless make in teresting reading. An Irishman asked a Scotchman one day why a railroad engine was always called "she." Sandy re plied, "Perhaps it's on account of the horrible noise it makes when it tries to whistle." It takes a rich man to draw a check, a pretty girl to draw atten tion, a horse to draw a cart, a mos quito to draw the blood, a free lunch to draw the hungry, and the v prtfcutf on 1 Urb?tore, vehicles of all kind, fine harness and saddles to draw the crowd to Ramsey & Bland's. The work on' the Pace's branch trestle is progressing finely, and Capt. Grenaker thinks it will be completed in about three weeks. The terrors, to the ladies, of the transfer over the trestle on the "push" car, now made necessary by the condition of the road, are greatly lessened by the Captain's kind and careful courtesy and at tention. L?st Saturday night as Stephen Yeldell, colored, was going home from the village in his cart he fell out on his head and was instantly killed. He was addicted to inor dinate drinking and was at the time in a mandlin condition, so we hixve been informed. About the same time Stephen's wife, from whom he had separated, lay dying and died that uight, and on Sun-! day they were both buried in Macedonia churchyard. An esteemed correspondent writes as follows of a recent lec ture by Rev. J. B. Tray wick : "Rev. J. B. Traywick delivered one day last week a most excellent lectura before the Batesburg Collegiate In stitute. His subject was 'Super stition.' There was a large crowd out to hear this lecture, which was instructive and impressive, so much so that when the speaker had finished Prof. Helms, principal of the institute, announced that he hoped to get Rev. Traywick to lec ture again on the same subject, which was a very high compli ment." Some miscreants on Friday night last brok? into Hammond & Bell's store and took therefrom a lot of groceries, etc., it is not, known yet exactly how much. The following negro boys have been lodged in jail chargf-d with the heinous offence: Enoch Simmons, George Penn, Ephraim Harrison, Teague Brooks, and John Harrison. There will be a great deal of this sort of work carried on during this :all and winter, we suspect. The stolen goods were found in the house of Ephraim Harrison, and the amount taken footed up about thirty-three dollars. "F. B." a valued contributor of Parksville writes of the new den tist of that town : "Let everyone who is troubled with toothache go to the galkrj over J. M. Sewel's store at Parksville and have their teeth extracted by Dr. Harley. One young lady openly avows that he pulled her's without pain, and dur ing the filling of seven Mrs. J. M. S. sold a bat, took a mpasurefor a s, and gave orders fora dinner, polished gentleman, formerly resident of Williston, S. C., mar ied the amiable daughter of Dr. J. H. Jennings, of Plum Branch.

The harvest of your grain over, but your harvest of bargaii in rugs, window shades, and hom furnishings has just begun i Ramsey & Bland's. We regret to announce the serioi illness of Miss Mamie Addison, < our town. The prayers of man friends ascend daily to the throe of Grace for her recovery.

Married, at'the residence of th bride's father, Mr. William Con nelly, 0?.t. 11th, 1S94, by Rev. J. I Ouzts, Mr. W. B. Still, of Abbe ville county, and Miss Anna Con nelly, of Edgpfield county. Owing to the fact that the fir6 Tuesday in November is genera election day, a lpgal holiday, thi annual meeting of the County Commissioners has been postponec to the nexr. day, Wednesday, th< 7th of November. It is worth coming from tho ut most parts of Edgefield county t< reach Ramsey & Bland during thi progress of their November sale oi Furniture of 'very description also wagons, buggies, harnesB window shades, rugs, and hard ware. Keep out the cold and rain by using Felt Weather Strips under your doors and windows, and hunt up Milligan's advertisement and find out where you can ? et them. Milligan holds the fort at 937 Broad Street, Augusta, Ga., he also sells mantels, tiling, grates and iron fencing. Anderson Branham, colored, rest bis soul, before he passed away, use to sing a song the refrain of which was Times is gittin' hard, Money gittin' scace, If times don't git no better here, Fm bound to leave this place. We hope times are better with Anderson, they are no better here. We give up the most of our first page to the new county government bill, the one adopted at the last session of the Legislature. We would advise our readers to pre serve this paper carefully that they may always have a ready reference to the law in case of its adoption by this county. As we understand the matter, the adoption or rejec tion of this law is left with the Count}' Board of Commissioners. See clause ll. Seize the golden opportunity of buying hardware of Ramsey & Bland while they are in the spirit of making sacrifices upon their goods. 'Tis said that it is never too late to mend. However, if your buggy is sadly disfigured you can afford a new one at Ramsey & Bland's prices. No man can tell the farmer what is best for him to do in the present stringency, but he must do some thing; he must keep a-hooking, there is no doubt about that. Sup pose, for a change, that we advise bim to sow oats largely this fall, and after oats, pease. Repeat this for three years, and by that time cotton will be higher or lower than it is now and his land will be 50 per cent, better than now, and a hundred per cent better than if he had been planting it in cotton dur those years. To Cure a Bone Felon. Wrap a cloth loosely around the felon leaving the end open. Pour guupowder in the end and shake down until the end ie covered, then keep it wet with camphor.

The Old, Old Past, Though Lost to Sicht to Memory Dear. MR. EDITOR : lu the hope that the musings and reminiscences of an old mau may be acceptable lo your numerous readers, this is sent you. In looking back to the thirties we fiud changes so great and un usual, that the present generation could hardty realize their exipt ence. Our dear old county, I sup pose, was named after Edgefield in England (vide Scotts Wood stock) and not as is usually thought from its location on the border of the State, and must have had a goodly sprinkling of Eng lishmen as settlers. Of course there were other good settlers, no tably German and Irish, together with some French, besides num bers from other States of the Union. However that may be, the result has worked well, and we have at present a population that any sec tion should be proud of. Having been born and raised in the village of Edgefield, I remem ber the excitement incident to the days of Nullification, when Gen. James Jones was distributing South Carolinas State buttons and when every man and boy sported a rosette. Gen. Jones was a lawyer and lived where the family of Cashier Mims now lives. Every man and boy was most zealous and even the women, bless them, sym pathized. Our great leader, Cal houn, was a power in the land then and up to his death in 1850; and long may his memory remain with a grateful people. And then the Florida war, when three companies went from Edge field; namely, The True Blues from the old Seventh Militia or Bloody Regiment, one from Saluda, Capt. David Denny, and one from the Nineth, Capt. Hibler. The Captain of The True Blues was ? Capt. Jones. Next, to the Mexican war we sent the Old Niuety Six Boye, \ Capt. Brooks, and then in our last 1 sad experience, the war between ? the States, Edgefield as usual, was * well represented, losing many \ gallant souls and gaining much j glory, but nothing else. As a forerunner in miniature j of the pomp and circumstance of war, we now refer to the gallant militia in the Saluda or 10th Regi ment, which met for muster at Richardsonville, Mt. Willing, and ? Towles; the 9th Regiment which - met at Red Hill, Shinburg, LoweB, \ and Spring; the 7th Regiment ] mot and mustered at Old Wells, \ Pine ?ouse, and Cherokee Pond, ] at all of which places much fun \ and pleasure was had, and where many a hard battle, fist and skull, i was indulged in; when liquor, purer j and better than now, was to be had t almost without price. 1 And then our elections, where . the longest pole knocked down the ? persimmon, where each aspirant announced himself and depended on merit or personal popularity, ; where each candidate entered into a general sweepstake, coming out generally in a good humor, whether defeated or not. Those old times I maintain, were better than the j present, more sociality and good feeling existing, where each man, as a rule, thought and acted for himself, some exceptions of course, as is the case in all rules. In those days it was almost a duty to turn out to salesdays, to musters, and to camp meetings, to the latter where piety and hospitality went hand in h?nd ; where all the good folks mingled, young and old; where much good was done, and where many marriages were ar ranged, and what harm was done thereby? The good Book says "multiply and replenish the earth," and what better chance could be offered than the camp ground for courting when the zealous preacher, either country or town raised, were men venerated and loved and when our women were more Tespected I fear than now. We may look around us, and if disposed to be just and fair, we will be compilled to acknowledge the past will not surfer when brought in compari son with the present. In the olden times the dollar was not the almighty thing that it now is, people then knew almost everybody and in meeting the usual greetings were pleasant and hearty, there was more soul and kindly nature shown. Such things are called "old fogy" and "behind the times," but which is moBt desira ble, the good humor and bon homme of the past or the selfish ness of the present? I leave this as a conundrum. Now don't backbite me before my face, and say he is only a dis appointed old man, when the truth is the writer is of a good old age, but tries to keep it a green one, aud loves his fellow mau perhaps more than they deserve, and his fellow woman too, for they dessrve it. If these desultory thoughts are not smothered in the waBte basket you may again hear from. THE OLD REGIME. Medical Card. \\. IWILL resume the practice of medi cine in Edgefield and vicinity.
