Edgefield Advertiser WEDNESDAY, FEB. 6, 1895. LOCAL* BREVITIES. The "monkey wrench" quilt is the latest pattern. - 5000 first-class Cowhides wanted. W. VV. ADAMS. The public roads, we are told, are almost impassable in many places. A larsecrowd in town on Monday of i-his week, salesdny, but a distressingly impecunious one. In the future the parade grounds of the Ed^o^-ld Hussars will be within the corporate limits of our town. . The Edgefield ADVERTISER and Cos mopolitan both one year for $3.0Q. Capt. and Mrs. 'ahos. B. Greneker, are visiting his father at Helena, New berry County. Judge Earnest Gary presides at the February term of Beaufort court, which is now in session. The time for making your returns to the County Auditor expires on the 20th of February. We are told in many places, the pub lic roads are almost impassable in man y places. You have only three more weeks in which to pay your State and County taxes. . Liens for rent and advances; Bills of sale of personal property ; Land deeds and Mortgages, for sale at the ADVERTISER office. Best Cream Cheese, Macaroni, Dates, Figs, Raisins, Keg Pickle, &c. Wi W. ADAMS. Johnston and Greenwood have both voted not to have a dispensary within the corporate limits of their respective towns. "Vanderbilt" Hamilton is what they call Press Hamilton now because he "ran down" the poor house on Capt. Williams, the incumbent. Land upon which oats was sowed in the fall will make splendid corn if you conclude the oats are irreparably dam aged by the freezes. There will be five eclipses this year, three of the sun and two of the moon. The first will be of the moon on the 10th of March, which will be visible in this section. Wheat Bran, Cotton Seel Meal, Pre pared Cow Food, Chicken Food. In j fact Food for everything and every body, at W. W. ADAMS. Our town is now iudulging in the luxury of a night-watchman. Mr. Clint Covar is the man and we believe he will make a good one. We are very grateful to those of our delinquents who have called and squar - ed their accounts with the ADVERTI SER. The annual meeting of the National j ?_'^" Varmem .\l\ip-np* nri'U ho hol{] pf fr?l-T eigh, N. C., on Wednesday of this week. We thought? it had kertlumix ed. Under tile new military law, passed at the last session of the legislature, there must be a re-organization of all militia organizations in this State. See notice of t^.e Edgefield Hussars to that purport, in another column. We do not know exactly what are - the duties of the members of the Town ship Boards of Commissioners, but there is one thing they can do, and should do : see to it that every man, lia ble to pay a poll U x in their respec tive townships be made to do it. The English sparrows are beginning already to make their nests, but we wouldn't undertake to say that is a sign of spring, for these little darlings work at making nests and laying and hatching almost from January to De cember. In some of the upper counties ma chines for working the roads have ' been purchased. It might bea good 1 thing for Supervisor Whittle to get the figuros on these machines, how the 1 work is done with them, and lay such information before the Board at its next, or some subsequent meeting. Many farmers are in the habit of giv ing their cows hot water for their drink in cold weather, claiming that they yield one-third more milk than when given cold water. The only objection to the bot water is that it makes the butter white. Rev. J. H. Boldridge, for a number of years pastor of the Baptist church at Batesburg, has accepted a call to the pastorate of the Lancaster church. This will certainly be a great loss to the Ridge Association but a corres ponding gain to the Lancaster Bap tists. From Weather Observer Long's re port for the month of January, 1895, we see that four times as much rain fell as in the same month of 1894; also that the coldest day of the winter now passing the thermometer stood 9 above . Zero; on the coldest day of last win ter the thermometer registered 28 above Zero. Rev. R. P. Freaks, a former pastor or our village Metludist church, died at his home in Anderson County on 1 last Friday. Mr. Franks was about 80 years of age at the time of his death. In Edgefield he was much beloved and may be said to have been the founder if not the builder of our beautiful Methodist church. Peace to his mem ory. Sow a few oats this month, you 1 might hit it. We have heard of some wonderful yields from February sown 1 oats, indeed we heard one good farmer ? say that on sandy lands this grain should always be sown in that month. A large number of negroes present ed themselves at Supervisor of Regis- < tration Caughman's office on Monday ? of this week. White people are behind in this sudden desire and rush of the deluded colored brother to have his name put in the pot. Watch J The public roads, we are told, in ma ij places are almost impassable. One Car Lily of Egypt Flour at $3.50 per Barrel, best Second patent on Earth. W. W. ADAMS. The Woman's'Jprayer meeting met last Monday at Rev. M. M. Brabham's. It was well attended. The next meet ing will be at Mrs. J. W, Peak's. Let tho good work go on. In order to impress the fact upon our readers we will restate our proposi tion thar, we are told in many places that the roads are almost impassable in many places. We have clubbing arrangements with the New York World, which is published twice a week. For $2.25, cash in advance, we will send the AD VERTISER and the World one year to any address. The World is an excel lent paper, and every subscriber will be pleased with it. Now is the time to subscribe. Fresh from New Orleans : One Car CO. Molasses. 10 Bb'ls. Best N. 0. Syrup, at W.W.ADAMS. And last but not least, a full Supply of Baldwins Celebrated Fertilizers. W. W. ADAMS. Rev. M. M. Brabham was called to Ninety-Six to marry two couples at that place this week. This makes the fifth marriage ceremony he has per formed at his old pastorate since he left it, showing how much beloved he was and is. The Aiken Recorder says, "We learn that the Langley Manufactur ing Company contemplates making considerable additions to the mill at Langley. Another story will be add ed to the old portion, ind an addition also built in the quadrangle between the old and the new portions. These additions will afford room for abouti 10,000 new spindles and 400 looms. High Water Preveuted. On account of high water in the creeks, Auditor Haltiwanger was un able to fill his appointments at Boul ware's Store in Meriwether Township, but will beat that place on Saturday j the 16th February. Mules and Horses. I have just received a carload of J Mules and Horses, well broke, that I offer for sale at figures to suit the times. R. M. HAYS, Jan. 16, Edgetield, S. C. The Value of Coins. The value of gold coin is in its weight; the value of silver coin is the government stamp on it. The value of Simmons Liver Regulator is the re lief it gives from Biliousness and Sick Headache. A 25-cent package of pow der has permanently cured many a one. History of Edgefield. Mr. W. J. McKerall of mir town has the contract for printing "Chapman's history of Edgefield." It will be a large . book, probably five hundred pages, and in addition -to the general historical narrative gives special sketches of many prominent familes in the county which will be of great iii ff: re-it- ? Here's a Prize. --J . There ought to be a person in every town to go around and tell everybody what other people think of them, whether good, bad, or indifferent. It would open our eyes. Of course such a person would be very odious, but he or she would do a great deal of good. It would make us all better and wiser. Who in Edgetield will volunteer for the first round? Take the names in alphabetical order commencing with the B's. We will give the ADVERTI SER one year free to the first person in our town who uudertakes this task. A Stark-ftaked Fool. Corn is going up. Another reason why we should plant largely this year. At Johnston s this cereal is bringing 60 and 65 cents per bushel so we are informed. There is really more clear money in corn at 50 cents a bushel than in colton at 5 cents a pound, and certainly a great deal more satisfac tion. From a letter received from Liv erpool last week, and published in an other column,we gather that acioss thy water cotton buyers are banking on four cents cotton next fall. In the face ol' this and the immense crop of this year and the large stock on nand, the farmer who plants fora big cotton crop this year is to speak plainly, a stark-naked fool. Our County Seal. The new county government law re quires that the county supervisors shall have seals, and that impressions of these seals shall be filed with the Secretary of State to prevent counter feit seals being imposed on the State when papers are stamped. We sug gest that the Edgefield County seal be a picture of "Scratch" Whittle, county supervisor, seated a-straddle of Mark Shealy's 603 lb. hog-not that Edgetield is hoggish, or desires to be so repre sented on her seal, but as a confession that we are inclined to be piggish, and furthermore to show that Mark Shealy got the pig from "Scratch" Whittle out of which he evolved the 603 pound hog -all of which is true. Late Literary News. General Lord Wolsey makes a most important contribution to the litera ture cf the China-Japan war. In an article for the Cosmopolitan, he dis cusses the situation and does not mince matters in sayinir what China must do in this emergency. Two oth er noted foreign authors contribute interesting articles to this number. Rosita Mauri, the famous Parisian danseuse, gives the history of the bal let, and Emile Oliver tells the story of the fall of Louis Philippe. From eve ry part of the world, drawings and photographs have been obtained of* the i list ru merits used to torture poor hu manity, and appear as illustrations for a clever article, by Julian Hawthorne, entitled, "Salvation via the. Rack." Mrs. Reginald de Keven, Anatole Franco, W. Clark Russell, \lbion W. Tourgee, and William Dean Howells | pre among the story tellers for the February number ol' The Cosmopili tan. If you are a subscriber to tile Au VEKTisKK and in good standing, you fan get the Cosmopolitan one year for ?1.25. oee the very best $1 50 shoe in I he world ut j. NV. Marsh & Co.'s, Johnston. Personal Mention, Miss Julia Prescott has returned to her home in the country after a weeks visit to Miss Hettie Sheppard. Mrs. Charles Brown of Abbeville with her children, is visiting her pa rents at the Hotel Edgefield. Miss Hettie Sheppard is spending the present week with Miss Julia Pres cott. Miss Cornelia Jones is visiting her sister, Mrs. Crooker, at Johnston. Dr. J. H. Self from Self's spent Mon day in in town. Dr. Schweigert of Kirksey's was in Edgeileld last week. The Tariff Reduction a Reality. The Tariff reduction on a great many woollen gooda went into ef fect "the first of January, and we propose to be up with the times, aud to give our friends the full beuefit of this reduction. We have decided to sell our immense stock of gents', boys', and children's ready made clothing at a discount of 20 per cent. These goods were bought in September upon the very bebt terms and marked in plain figures at a low price, and now you can get 20 per cent off from the price. A suit that sold for $15 will now be $12. A sui*, that sold for $6 will now bo $4.80. This is a very plain way for our customers to see the tariff reduc tion and we hope all will give us a call at once. i E. B. HART & Co. Edgefield, S. C., Jan. 15, '95. Jones and Swearing en. This is to certify, that on the 11th day of December 1804, B. L. Jones made an affidavit before me charging J. C. Swearingen with obstructing a road, but said at the time that he would not ask that he be placed under a peace bond. JOHN KKNXKRLV. Edgefield, S. C., Feb. 4, 1895. Weather for January.

PRIZES ON PATENTS' How to Get $100 and Perhaps Make a Fortune. We secure patents and to induce people to keep track of their bright ideas we offer a prize of one hun dred dollars to be paid on the first of every month to the person who submits to us the most meritorious invent i ?ii during the preceding month. We will also advertise the invention free of charge iu the "National Recorder," a weekly newspaper, published in Washing ton, I). C., which has an extensive circulation throughout the United States and is devoted to the inter ests of inventors. NOT so HARD AS IT SEEMS. The idea of. beiDg able to invent something strikes most people as being very difficult; this delusion the Company wishes to dispel. It is the simple things and small in ventions that make the greatest amount of money, and the complex oues are seldom profitable. Al most everybody, at some time or another, conceives an idea, which, if patented, would probably be worth to him a fortune. Unfortu nately such ideas are usually dis missed without thought. The sim ple inventions like the car window which could be easily slid up and down without breaking Ibo pas senger's back, the sauce pan, the collar button, the nut lock, the bottle stopper, the suow shovel, are things that almost everyone sees some way of improving upon, and it is these kind of inventions that bring the greatest returns to the author. The prize we offer will be paid at the end of each month, whether I he application has been acted upon by the Patant Oifice or not. Every competitor must apply for a patent on his invention 1 brough us, and whether he secures: the prize or not, the inventor will have a valuable present.

The matter in which, during 1894, it has treated the Chicago Railway Strikes and the China-Japanese War, and the amount of light it was able to throw on Korea the instant attention was directed to that little-known country, are examples of its almost boundless re?ources. Julian Ralph, the distinguished writer and correspond ent, has been sent to the seat of war, and there joined by C. D. Weldon, thc well-known American artist, now for many years resident in Japan, who has been engaged to co-operate with Mr. Ralph in sending to HARPER'S WEEKLY exclusive information ana illustration. During 1895 every vital question will be discussed with vigor and with out prejudice in the editorial columns, and albo in special articles by the high est _ authorities in each department. Portraits of the men and women who are making history, and powerful and caustic political cartoons, will continue to be characteristic features. This Busy World, with its keen and kindly comment on the lesser doings of the day, will remain a regular department. Fiction. There will be two powerful serials, both handsomely illustrated "The Red Cockade," a stirring romance of olden days by Stanley J. V?'eyinan, and a novel of New York, entitled "The Son of His Father," by Brander Matthews-several novelettes, and many short stories by popular writers. Send for Illustrated Prospectus.
