Edgefield Advertiser WEDNESDAY, FEB. 20, 1895. LOCAL? BREVITIES. The Edgefield ADVERTISER aud Cos mopolitan both one year for $3.00. Mr. R. M. Hays lost a horse last Fri day night, attributed to the cold weath er. Mr. Eettis Cantelou has removed his stock of soods to the store recently vacated by Mr. E. J.. Norris. It is one of the ante-diluvian legends that birds mate on the 14th of Februa ry. If they did so this year it was simply because the day <vas set. A philosopher who had married an ignorant girl used to caliber "brown sugar," because, he said, she was sweet but unrefined. Two young mules and a milch cow, for sale, cheap. E. J. NORRIS. Married, by Rev. G.W. Bussey, on Tuesday 12th February, Rev. T. E. Seago, of Aiken and Miss Sallie Dorn of Edgefield. Every small farmer should try a half acre in tobacco this year as a ven ture. It will bring cash sooner than any other crop and when most needed. Mr. Simons, of Georgia, is soon to take charge of the Hotel Edgefield, Mr. Roper and family returning to ? Trenton, "A married man now buys a twenty yard dress pattern, takes it to a tailor, tell? him to cut for his wife a pair of sleeves and if there is any scraps left to make her a skirt." Some of our farmers have had their oats killed after sowing twice. This v is very discouraging, but if you have the seed make one more trial as soon as the snow gets off the earth. Mr. Luther E. Jackson is now sup plying our people with a most excel lent loaf bread. It may be found, along with rolls, rusks, cakes, and pies, at the stores of J. M. Jones & San and W. T. Hoffman. Married, by Rev. Mr. Baldwin, at the residence of the bride's father, at Johnston, on the 13th February, Dr. S. J. M. Cox. of Columbia and Miss Alice Perry. The Baldwin-Rogers troupe will give performances in the Edgefield Opera House on Monday and Tuesday nights of next week the 25th and 26th of February. Admittance 50 and 25cts. Mr. K. L. Fox has just received a handsome line of ladies hairpins and belt buckles etc., beautiful in design and in great variety. Married, by Rev. M. M. Brabham, February 6,1S95, at the residence of the bride's grandmother, Mr. Robert Williams and Miss Fannie Dyson. " ' ? i Dear old Horace mus^J?lAi^iassec through last^cV^^Il 0f weather | *as we have experienced when he broke loose as follows : Snow fell in Texas on lastjv'ednes day and Thursday to the depth of 17 inches, something altogether \4npre- 1 cedented in that State. It is expected j( that the loss to stockmen will be very heavy as they are totally unprepared for any such weather. Beauregard Wilson, who lives near 1 Yazoo City, Miss., worked niue mules * the past year and made 300 bales of cotton. After disposing of his crop at an average of 5 cents a pound and pay-1 ' ing his expenses his net profit amount ed to $3,950. 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- J VKRTISKR 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. A spectacle born of the negro's lik- t ing for discarded finery was presented ( on the streets of Walhalla the other t day in the form of a colored woman 1 with a sealskin sack on, trudging 1 along with four bundles of fodder un- 1 der her arm. It is no use to interview the oldest 1 inhabitant in regard, to the weather, \ for everybody knows it is the worst that has ever struck this latitude, and yet that wretched Hicks says, (and Capt. Jim Bennet backs him up in it) that we are to have a worse spei! of cold and other horrors near the end of the month. Remember the opportunity will be given you on next Monday and Tues day night to see and hear a first class, i high grade troupe in our Opera house. 1 All the members of this talented troupe 1 are southern ladies and gentlemen. j Mr. Gladstone, the grand old man, t attributes his long life to the fact that < he has during all these years been in the habit of taking a long walk daily | 1 in all kinds of weather and the further fact, that he always gave thirty-two bites to a biscuit. This is the way a Georgia darkey handled the Queen's English recently "I doan' in ginerly buy on credit, but at dis particular conjunction I would like to git a little resistence on 30 days' j return." Tlie la?t board of county commis sioners for this county adopted a schedule of license fees to be paid by hawkers and peddlers. Whether the new board will re-adopt this same schedule or not, we are not advised, but we call th< matter to their atten tion. Mr. O. D. White, an excellent farmer of the Longmires section was in our office on Monday of this week. He says the oats are killed beyond any question and of wheat he has only about a half a stand. He expects to sow his oats over as soon as the weath er will permit, and advises others to do the same if they have the seed, ir can get them. Mr. White thinks that tlie snows of this winter will be of| great benefit to the land, and oat. sown on such lauds in the spring stand ?pretty fair chance of making a crop. The Edgefield Cotton Factory is ir sight. All that is necessary now is for everybody to subscribe what he can, be it little or much. Next week we will go into details and tell some thing good. Some of the old inhabitants say that the winter of 1849 was quite different from the present one. They say that the bluebirds were building their nests in January. Nearly every one lost their meat. But on the 19th of April, there came a tremendous snow, followed by three heavy sleets. Veg etation had put out, and, of course, was killed, leaving the forest with the appearance of having sustained a big tire. So terrible was the weather on last Saturday that very few of the mem bers of the County Board of Commis sioners were able to get to Edgefield. Consequently the meeting appointed for that day by Supervisor Whittle was declared oft' and a new day nam ed for such meeting, to wit," next Sat urday, the 23rd February. See notice elsewhere. By all means be present on that day asjotherwise things,county things, are likely io get into a tangle and a snarl. Mr. James Hart had the following experience of the cold snap. He says that a gentleman of his acquaintance builtaflreon Friday morning in his house and that the flame as it went up the chimney froze stiff. He broke oft a piece of the flame put it in his pock et, and went over to town. Before reaching it, however, be found that th ! flame had thawed out and burnt a hole in his pocket, li. confirmation of this Mr. Hart says he looked in the gentle man's pocket and saw the hole ! A Louisvil'e, Ky., man, who says hi never drinks, tells of a farmer whc has produced a breed of fur-bearing chickens, which sport in ice water and cackle briskly in the midst of almost eternal snow. This was accomplished by skin-grafting a selected cock and ben with rabbit skin, half an inch at a time. The process was painful, bul succeeded admirably. Eggs of th? new breed sell rapidly at $1.75 a dozen and are hatched out by ordinary hens who invariably die of fright upon per ceiving the strange appearance ol their offspring. A number of people in our town art; trying the Alabama plan of feeding their horses and mules, in part, on cot ton seed hulls. Mules seem to lake more kindly to this diet than horses These last generally require a little coaxing, but they come to like bulli very much after a while. The bes1 plan lo adopt to cet a horse to "take holt" is to buy a gallon of molasse: from Epps Norris for ten cents am mix a pint of it with a peck of hulls Of course it would not be prudent t( restrict your horses or mules to this di et as it is really an experiment, but w< are satisfied there is more nutrimen in such food than in shucks, fodder, oi hay.

"^ITFdbruary gives m de liTsnow " A flue summer it doth foreshow." Some of the other wise saws regard ng February are : "Of all the months )f the year curse a fair February." The Wish Gratified.

Take it dry, >U the tongue, or make into a tea. lt s pleasant to take, and gives quick re ief-two good recommendations. Hie Jennings Estate. Our old friend, Dr. W. D. Jennings, sr., has just received from the attor ?eys of the Jennings heirs a letter, jostmarked London Eng., advising lim of the termination of all suits Drought by them in the kingdom of jreat Britain and Ireland, and-with rerdicts in their favor. The doctor >ays that the money will soon be for warded, and, with Ins usual generosi y, he has intimated to us what he will lo with his share. First, he proposes ;o give $5,000 out-right to the Edge ield cotton factory, and will supple nent this by taking $5,000 in stock, naking $10,000 in all. We congratu ate the doctor on his good fortune, md hope his last days will be bis hap piest. Who Has Monozite? Mouozite is a coarse, heavy, yellow ?and found in the run of streams and jn bottom lands. You have to wash it jut as you do gold. Where the deposit s rich you can get about a spoonful of nonozite from a shovelful of soil. One ?and can wash out from fifty to a mildred pounds per day. Toe people n and around Gaffney City, Spartan .urg county, have gone wild over this natter. An agency has been estab ished in Gaffney which pays from 6?? :o 7 cents a pound. Some of the land jwners in that vicinity are receiving ^200 to $:J00 per acre in the way of my illy alone. Last week two gentlemen put, respectively, seventy-live and one liundred hands to work getting out the sand, whichjlooks very much like ordi nary yellow sand. It is used for mak ing burners for gas jets. Who in Edgefield will first discover monozite? We have got everything else in Edge field. A Congressman in addressing the* House said : "As Daniel Webster says in his great dictionary." '.It was Noah who wrote the dic tionary," whispered a colleague^, who sat at the next desk. "Noah nothing," replied the speaker, "Noah built the ark." Tobacco !

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 mouth to the person who submits to us the most meritorious inventi >n during the preceding month. We will also advertise the invention free of charge in the "National Recorder," a weekly newspaper, published in Washing-1 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 j is the simple things and small in ventions that make the greatest amount of money, and the complex ones are seldom profitable. Al most everybody, at some time or another, conceives an idea, which, if pateuted, would probably be worth to him a fortune. Unfortu nately such ideas are usually dis missed without thought. The sim ple inveutions 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 eud of each month, whether the application has been acted upon by the Patent Office or not. Every competitor must apply for a patent on his inventiou through us, and whether he secures the prize or not, the inventor will have a valuable present.

This plan of insurance has been operated in this (Edgefield) county and throughout the State of South Carolina under the name of "The Farmers' Mutual Fire Association." There is no change in the plan of insurauce only a slight change in the name. The price of counties range from $50 to $100 each, owing ' to the size of the county and the number you bu}r. Now alli ask is that you find out from Ibu treas urer of your county association how much insurance was written up in this county and multiply that by 50 cents per hundred (the amount the agent collects), and am sure you will be convinced that you cannot find a business that will pay you near so well.

It presents every important event promptly, accurately, ind exhaustively in illustration and lescriptive text of the highest order. The matter in which, duringlS94, it bas treated the Chicago Railway Strikes and the China-Japanese War, ind the amount of light it was able to throw on Korea the instant attention was directed to that little-known jountry, are examples of its almost boundless resources. Julian Ralph, the distinguished writer and correspond ent, has been sent to the seat' of war, and there joined by C. D. Weldon, the 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 also in special articles by the high est authorities in each department. Portraits of the men and women who are making history, and nowerful 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. Weyman, and a novel ol' New York, entitled "The Son of His Father," by Brander Matthews-several novelettes, " and many short stories by popular writers Send for Illustrated Prospectus.
