Two great leaps in the dark. One is into matrimony and the other into the grave.

Up tu last Friday the State Alli ance Exchange had received forty or ders fur fertilizers. Tu the same date last year it had handled two hundred and furty. Evangelist Leitch is conducting a wonderful meeting in Charleston. Fuur uf the city pastors are encuurag iug him by their presence at these meetings. All members uf Abner Perry Camp who have not paid their annual dues, 25cts, are requested to pay to W. N. ^ Burnett, Treasurer, _by the first of April There is a great deal uf stealing gu ing un in this community, and there is no duubt but ;hat it will gruw worse.

President, Julia Tompkins; vice-pres dent Felie Lake; secretary, Jue Car wile; treasurer, Kate Sheppard.

Miss Ellie Earle, eldest daughter of Ju? *e Joseph Earle, spent Saturday and . -jnday in our town wit h her fath er, 'j .n's talented and accomplished young lady has charge of the music de partment uf the Willistun High School* Miss Wescjtt wiil be in Edgefield on Wednesday April 3rd prux, and will give au entertainment in the Opera huuse on the night of that day for the benefit ot the Y. M. C. A. Our people remember with much pleasure Miss Wescutt's former visit and will gu uut in truups tu hear her again un the evening named. From some cause or ot her Rev. P. P. Blalock failed to preach last Sunday as had been announced. The roads between here and Longmires, his home, are supposed to be bottumlcss, without form and void, hence we can excuse his non-appearance, although his many friends in Edgefield were much disappointed that he did not come. Dr. Gwaltney was invited by Rev. John Lake to fill his pulpit at Bethel last Sunday morning. He accepted that invitation, and Brother Blalock not arriving in Edgefield, there was no services in our Baptist church. Dr. Gwaltney also preached at Ridge Spring Sunday evening. Nearly everybody in this communi ty is afflicted with colds, grip, influen za, whatever you may call it. In this connection we give the cure for grip discovered by the famous Dr. Keely, of Keely Cure celebrity. He says that a four grain dose of asafoetida four times daily, will cure the grip. It is most effective when each dose is mix ed with one-eighth grain of iuduform. Our old friend. Capt. A. P. West, of Leesville, was in town last week at tending court. Capt. West is enthused on the subject uf tobacco raising and is at the tiead of an association uf far mers in and aruund Leesville who propose to ?r?> into the culture ?>f to bacco this year, quite extensively. He says we have tu pay debts and cotton won't du ir. In his father's time to bacco was hauled in large quantities from this county to Charleston, and be proposes to make history repeat her self, if she wil1. The woman's prayer-meeting will hold (heir next meeting at Dr. J. W. Hill's on Munday afternoou at 4 o'clock. All the Christian women in town are cordially invited io attend. A man who falls ?nib the habit of swearing can always find so easy an emphasis, that he gives his wit no chance to exercise itself. Persons who are suffering with the grip in this community will see the point of the following: His chest was mighty deep, And likewise mighty broad, And it sounded like a saw-mill For every breiF he drawed. Charles Roath, colored, says that the thermometer is two degrees below Nero everwhere in the world except here at Edgefield, and that it never [gets below par here, but sonn times get3 away with mar. We got the above item from Capt. Tom Lanham. "Our readers will find Simmons Liver Regulator advertised in these columns. We advertise it, and we comment' it as a safe and excellent medicine. We became acquainted with it in Georgia where it is a standard family medicine. We do not deny the merits of other preparations, but simp ly state that this one commands con fidence." From the "Journal, Lanes boro, Minn. The examination of white appli cants to teach in the public schools of 1 this county will ba held at Edgefield on Friday, the lllth of April. Colored applicants will be examined on Satur day, the 20th of the same month. The examination of the State board will take place in Columbia on Friday, the 5th day of April in the office of Su perintendent of Education Mt ylield. Now that we've thawed out, let us rejoice that we are still here, although somewhat nipped. Let us also observe, as one of the consequences of the late period of phenomenal cold, that prices at Ramsey & Bland's have not shared in the general rise, but as here tofore, remain below zero. Very Important Decision. In a recent case tried in a trial jus- j tice's court in this couuty for killing'! a dog, the trial justice delivered him self as follows upon, as he said, "the pints of the case:" "The plaintiff in this case has sued the defendant for a dollar's worth of dorg, but in the first place I find that the dorg ain't worth a dollar. 1 find in the second place that the dorg was a bobtailed dorg, and a bobtailed dorg ain't a whole dorg, and no action will lie in this court for killing a piece ol' a dorg. Counsel for tile "plaintiff and his dead dog tell us that geometry says that the 'greater includes ttie less' and that as a dog's body io greater than in's tail it iucludes his tail, and that there lore, if we catch on to the argument, a dorg without a tail is a dog with a a tail. The counsel also say that the Supreme court of this State has deci ded that the difference between a bob tailed dog and a dog with a tail don't amount to shucks. Well, maybe so, maybe so. But we have simply to say that so long as we preside over this court we propose to boss it, Supreme Courts, geometries, bob-tailed dogs and their attorneys to the contrary notwithstanding. If the Supreme court aud the geometry have decided that a dog without a tail is a dog| with a tail tnen we pronounce them both (and we do it ?.ith tb?! "tmost respect and deferei.ee; ''nlernal fools aud liars. "Let the case be dismissed. A bob tailed dog has no standing room in this court." Edna R. Brown. There are few young ladies in our town, community or county who have not received a letter from the chain! commenced by Miss Edna Brown of) Kaneville Illinois, requesting can celled stamps which she expected t . sell, tlie money to be used for the re lief of her sister-in-law who is a crip ple. Kaneville is the name of the post ofiice where Miss Brown lives, and is situated nine miles from the railroad. Heretofore only a small package of mail had been received at that place daily, but up to a recent date, when the post office department prohibited any more letters to be for warded to her, Miss Edna Brown, re- | ceivetl daily from ten to fifteen thou sands letters enclosing cancelled stamps. Miss Brown was as much relieved at having the letters stopped as was the postmaster at Kaneville, for there is no demand for cancelled stamps any more than there is for old spools or old tin cans, it is a myth that a million stamps collected will bring any re ward. There are dealers in New York who buy cancelled stamps at seven cents a thousand to sell in France and Germany, where they are sometimes used to decorate furniture | and paper rooms, but this demand does not equal the present supply, so why this stamp craze? Hence let those who have these letters on hand relieve their minds and consciences by casting them into the tire and troubling themselves no longer about them. The farmers around Kaneville perhaps received more compensation than any one ehe from this stamp fiend, for it is said that all the mules in the country were hired to help car ry the letters. Friends give the poor old mules a rest for Miss Brown has already received more stamps, than the United States has inhabitants. It I is also reported that Miss Edna Brown is both married and dead, so under j either condition, it is probable that she will never need any more postage stamps, whether cancelled or unean celled.

If it was not John Lott with John Lott's girl Sunday after noon, who was it? OBITUARY. MRS. JANIE M. MARKERI', eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. GEO. M. CKAFXON, was born in Edgefield Coun ty S. C. Oct. 29th, 1S72. Left father less while quite young she grew up under the care of a pious mother. She developed a bright, intelligent mind, and early, in life embraced religion, united with Dothan M. E. Church, of which she remained a consistent mem ber until her death. 'J.be writer of this imperfect trib ute knew sweet JANIE from her in fancy, and a more amiable, dutiful daughter, and loving sister, I have never known. And after the death of her mother, she gave a mothers care, to her sisters and brother, and how well she filled her place, their aching hearts give evidence. During her short married life, she was the idol of a fond husband, and after the birth of her? chill, consumption laid its blightyingl hand upon her, and she faded swiftly away. The tender and loving care of ner husband, and devoted sisters, was powerless to stay the step of the black winged angel of death. All that love could suggest was tried, but in vain! Death loves a shining mark, and this beautiful woman, lovely in face, still more lovely in character, of amiable disposition, und above all, a follower of the Saviour, was indeed a siiining mark, for his fatal arrow. 4J1 who knew her loved her. Her hand was ever ready to help the poor and sick, and she was always thoughtful of others. She did not complain, but bore her suffering with patience, and resignation to God witta no fear of death. She was so young to die, when life seemed so fair, and sweet to her. On the morning of Feb. 10th 1S95, "God touched her with his fin ger and she slept." He doeth all things for the best, and though their hearts bleed, and nature shrinks, let her lov ed ones look up, and see the silver lin ing to the dark cloud of sorrow, for, "He giveth his beloved sleep." She was laid to rest in a snow storm, and as 1 watched the falling Hakes, 1 thought, (though sad,) how appropriate ii seemed, and emblematic, of the pure and oeautiful life of her, who sleeps beneath its mantle. She has heard the welcome plaudit, "enter thou into the ioy of thy Lord." Let us follow her good example, and at our last hour we too, shall enter into Heavens eternal rest. , H. A. S?**?. Morgana.

ILL Subscribe t? tho Edgefield AD 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 we7 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 inventi >n duriDg the preceding month. We will also advertise the invention free of charge in the "National Recorder," a weekly 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 Biinple things and small in ventions that make the greatest amount of money, aud the complex ones are seldom profitable. Al most everybody, at some time or I another, conceives an idea, which, if patented, would probably be worth to him a fortune. Unfortu nately such ideas are usually dis missed without thoaght. The sim ple inventions like the car window which could be easily slid up aud down without breaking the pas senger's back, the sauce pan, the collar button, the Dut 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 the application has been acted i upon by th? Patent 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.
