Here lies an old woman who always was tired, For she lived in a house where help was'nt hired, Her last vords ou earth were: "Dear friends, I'm going Where washing ain't done, nor bak ing, nor sewing; And everything there will be just to my wishes. For where they don't eat, there's no washing of dishes. I go where loud anthems will always be ringing, But haviDg no voice, I'll get rid of the singing. Don't mourn for me now, and mourn for me never, For I'm going to do nothing, tor ever \ and-ever." Ink and vinegar froze during the re cent cold snap. Large sleeves are goiug out and wide skirts are coming in. They are making an effort to estab lish a dispensary at Ninety-Six. Two violins and a clarionet have been added to our Baptist church choir. They call nightdresses of every dis scription "slumber wear" in Eng land. Samps Pope is going to lecture on "Politics in South Carolina and what he knows about 'em." Dotted muslins are to be the rage again this sommer and are more ex quisite in coloring than ever before Miss Faunie Brabham, who has been on a visit to her sister and friends at Ninety-Six, has returned home. Dave Denny's beautiful cats hav followed him from E. J. Norris's old to the new stand, just as all bis old cus tomers did. Mr. George Mims will attend the Y M. C. A. Convention which meets in Aiken this week, as a member of the choir, playing on his clarionet Clerks in the dispensary are to be done away with after March 1st. Eve rybody, even the dispensary, intends to cut down expenses A Chicago judge has decided that a pickpocket is not punishable for being caught with his hand in another man's pocket if there was nothing to steal. I now have a good line of Staple Dry Goods, Notions and Shoes. Don't for get it-S HOES! E. J. NORRIS. The Augusta Chronicle thinks that if it is true that the darkest hour is jost before dawn, it is about time the roosters were crowing for daylight. Liens for rent and advances; Bills of sale of personal property; Land deeds and Mortgages, for sale at the ADVERTISER office. Married, at the residence of Mr. S. C Whatley, Edgefield County, 8. O, Jan. 24, lS9.5.Jur ^v. J. L. Ouzts, Mr, an Trapp. Supervisor Whittle calls a meeting of the county board of commissioners for Saturday the 16th February. A very important meeting this, and all the members should attend. Mr, W. F. Whittle, a sturdy farmer of the Fruit Hill seotion, was in town last week. Mr. Whittle is a reformer of reformers, but he believes in this constitutional matter all the people should get together. Married, at the residence of the bride's father, Mr. Wm. Mays, by Ree. J. P. Mealing, on the 7th February 1895, Mr. H. H. Scott Jr, and Miss Es sie M. Mays. A man having had $65 stolen from him, received a note with $25, saying, "I stoled your money. Ramose naws at my consbens, and I send some of it back. When remorse naws again, I'll send you some more. Mr. Joseph P. Ouzts, appointed dep uty revenue collector some months ago, has resigned aud Mr. James Hol land of our town has been appointed in his stead. This is a lucrative of fice bringing from fifteen hundred to two thousand dollars per annum. The Eigefleld Dispensary sales for the monta of January were $1304.04. Profits to town and County $117.30. Sales were chiefly of the lower, grades, and the profits on that class of goods are quite low, and consequently the net profits'for town and county are not as large in proportion to sales made as heretofore. Sam Taylor says that when a man freezes to death in North Carolina, the tar-heels take him and lay him naked in the spring branch and, says he, "nine times out of ten this will take the frezeness out of him and he gets well." If we get the cotton factory or rath er we should say, when we get the cot ton factory, there will be twice or three times as many children to "hang up" on Christmas night. This item should be very suggestive to Dr. Will Penn. Mr. Henry M. Kearsey, of Augusta, was in town on last Friday and Satur day. Henry is keeping a stock and ragon yard just across the North Au gusta bridge, at No's. 1261 and 1263, Broad Street. Edgefield County peo ple are already flocking to his yard and will continue to do so. Last Saturday was a very cold day but Saturday, the 8th of February, 1835, was universally known as the ?cold Saturday." The thermometer fell to 8 degrees below zero in this town, the coldest known before or since in this latitude. Capt. George B. Lake can tell you all about the "cold Satur day." Mr. Luther Reese, having resigned bis position as meniuer of the County board of crntrol, "Scratch" Whittle be come* a member ex officio. Mr. Reese made a oust efficient officer, in such manner indeed has beever perform- i ed every duty of citizenship. We hope fofeehiwinthe Legislature in 1896, Mr. D. R.

We hope it wi.'l, as it should, wake upevfry teacher in Edgefield to this very important question. Give a shild the taste and desire to read in structive books and he or she will do the rest.

Irl R. Hicks, the St. Louis weather prophet, predicts a bloody revolution in this country at an early date. Mr. Hicks's weather prophecy for February has been fulfilled with such remarkable accuracy that we are tempted to believe his revolution tale. He predicted the cold wave and s' orrns on the 5th, Cth, and 7tb, and that the cold would continue in a modified de gree up to ?o-day, Wednesday. Now, for next week, he says the I7th and 18th will uring decided storm condi tions, "with perhaps a sudden, sweep ing cold wave," and "from about the 22nd to the 24th storms of dangerous character will sweep through the con tinent and a cold wave that may prove a terror to man and beast." Watch these three days, 22nd, 23rd, and 24th. Blue Blood. There are people in Edgefield who can trace their lineage back to a very remote period, in the face of which the Daughters of the Revolution and the Colonial Dames must pale their iue fectual fires. We have among us a de scendant of one of the signers of the original Articles of Confederation. Another, descendent from the Carrolls of Carrollton, Maryland. Still anoth er descended from a Colonel who serv ed in the wars of Henry of Navarre. A family whose great, great grandfather was killed at the battle of Guilford C. H. Another which traces its descent back to an ancient Irish Duke. Not a little Indian blood flows in the veins of some of our people, and one indi vidual looks back a century or two to a Cherokee Indian Chief for his pro genitor. Even the colored people, some of them claim to be blue blooded. For instance: Jack Sample goes back to an ancestor, who was a cannibal king of the Fejee Islands, his last bite hav ing been a piece of one of Wash Adams's baked grand daddies, for even in those days the Samples were lean and the Adamses fat. Moral: It don't doto judge by ap pearances, for ofttimes we entertain angels unawares. A New Version. "O Dixie land was the land o' lizards, But now it's turned to the land o' bliz zards- . Freeze away, Freeze away Freeze away down South in Dixie 1 Old winter came with brag and bluster, Caught Miss Spring in linen duster Freeze away, Freeze away Freeze away down South in Dixie! Then I wish I wern't in Dixie Freeze away,. Freeze away Then I wish I wern't in Dixie land, To sneeze an' freeze in Dixie Lord knows I'm froze I'm froze down South in Dixie!"'

We secure l atents and ^o iuduce 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 mouth to the person who submits to us the most meritorious inventi >n during the preceding month. We will also advertiso the inventiou free of charge in the "National Recorder," a wenkly newspaper, published in Washing ton, D. 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 being 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, ones aro 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 the pas senger's back, the sauce pan, the collar button, the nut lock, the bottle stopper, the snow 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 tb.9 application has been acted upon by the Pat?nt Office or not. Every competitor must apply for a patent on his invention through us, and whether he secures the prize or not, the inventor will have a valuable present.

This plan of insurance ha9 been operated in this (Edgefield) county and throughout the Stute of South Carolina uuder the name of "The Farmers' Mutual Fire Association." There is no change in the plan of insurance only a Blight change in the name. The price of couuties range from $50 to $100 each, owing to the size of the county aud the number you buy. Now all I ask isthat you find out from the treas urer of j'our county association how much insurance was written up in this county and multiply that by 50 cents per hundred (the amouut the agent collects), aud am sure you will be convinced tha you cannot find a business that will pay you near so well.

HARPER'S WEEKLY is a pictorial his iry of the times, lt presents every nportant event promptly, accurately, nd exhaustively in illustration and escriptive text of the highest order. The matter in which, during 1894, it as treated the Chicago Railway trikes and the China-Japanese War, nd the amount of light it was able to brow on Korea the instant attention ras directed to that little-known ountry, are examples of its almost oundless resources. Julian Ralph, the istinguished writer and correspond it, has been sent to the seat of war, nd there joined by C. D. Weldon, the cell-known American artist, now for iany years resident in Japan, who has een engaged to co-operate with Mr. talph in sending to HARPER'S WEEKLY xclusive information ana illustration. During 1895 every vital question rill be discussed with vigor and with ut prejudice in the editorial columns, nd also in special articles by the high st authorities in each department, .ortraits of the"men and women who re making history, and powerful and austicpolitical cartoons, will continue 3 be characteristic features.
