WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5, 1S95. LOCAL2 BREVITIES. MUS. Wi E. DOBEY. Departed this life Wednesday morn ing "May 29th, at half past live o'clock Mrs. W. E. Dobey. Death was a sweet relie falter a long and painful illness. Every tender ami loving attention was paid lier by her devoted family which was calculated tu make her dosing Lours as peaceful and happy as the circumstances would allow. She leaves a husband and two sons and two daughters to mourn her loss, but they ^are in possession of the blessed conso lation that 'the end of the upright is peace.*' Mrs. Dobey was a member of the Sweetwater Baptist church and ber remains were interred in the Sweetwater cemetery at her request. Tlie sympathy of the whole communi ty goes out to the bereaved family, for all have passed under this inevitable shadow. "Leaves have their time to fall, And Howers to wither at the north wind's breath, And stars to set-but all, Thou hast all seasons for thine own, ? Death." May those afflicted ones, whon al! earthly friendships and sympathies fail to give them rest, cheer their . hearts with this that "the salvation of the . riirjn^jus is of the Lord : he is* their strengthTrPmmr-yf trouble. "And the Lord shall help them and deliver them." "Ear out of sight, while mortal robes enfold us. Lies the fair country where our hearts abide Ann of its bliss is naught more won drous told us Than those few words, "I shall be sal islied."' Crops are really about a month be hind all over the country. New goods in the latest styles at the Misses Aycock. The consolatian tor the hot weather of last week was that it was grass kill ing weather. A white man's primary, with all the olive branches in it possible, but it must be a white man's primary. Go and buy one of the new fashioned Sailors from the Misses Aycock for 25c ts. Liquor seizures continue without abatement. Call and see the new hats at the Misses Aycock. Weather Observer C. A. Long of Trenton reports that the thermometer stood at 99 in the shade on Sunday the 2nd June inst. Two feet of snow in Colorado on last Friday, the day on which the thermom eter registered 90 degrees nv these parts. A negro on Mr. Joe Holland's place was gored by a ferocious Jersey bull m^aJT-j^r- WPpk.^ On .Sunday at 10' o'clock the negro died. Mr. Holland" has had the bull killed. Mrs. Shaffer's Musical which was postponed, will take place next Mon day at the Simms Hotel, the music be ginning at half past eight o'clock. Re freshments will also be served. Aim high. If you aim low yon will shoot low, while if you aim high, you may possibly reach the mark and if you miss it, it may be through no fault of your own. J. C. Hemphiil of the News and C u rier has declined the appointment harbor commissioner of the port or Charleston recently tendered him by Co v. Evans. Congressman IV. J. Talbert passed through our town on Mo oday en route to the Sunday School Convention al Emory Chapel to be held June 4th and 5th. According to the weather report for June, we shall have only S clear days 14 partly cloudy, and S entirely so, not very encouraging surely. Gen. Butler and Hampton were in Chicago last week at the unveiling of the Confederate monument in that city and occupied prominent places in the fraternization ceremonies. Last Friday was the hottest 39th of May known for years. The thermom eter reached 90 degroes in the Adver tiser otlice. If July is to be hotter than Saturday,Sunday, andjMonday our fate 4s pitiable. The promoters of the cotton factory in our town have applied to the town council for exemption fron taxation for ten years. This will convince most people that the factory is on solid ground. On Wednesday of last veek Dr. j Gwaltney was summoned by telegraph to Rome.Ga., to the bedside of a seri ously ill brother. As a consequence there was no service in our Baptist ehurch last Sunday, Mrs. Rebecca Duncan, living on Clouds Creek, was the mother of 12: children, 5 of whom are living, 51 grand-children living, 109 great-grand children living. The number of grandc hildren and great grand-children 'ad is not known. Ve are requested by Capt. J. P. De ighter to announce that "the Sweet '.er Light Dragoons will ?ive a pic- j ??ed barbecue at a pavilion near ?fr>eo. Walker's mill toe 25th of June chich the public is very cordially i"*d.

DeLi?ugl:*ers headquarters rill take great pleasure in seeing ?ey spend a pleasant day in eve "Three little birds in a row Sat masing'. A man passed near that place. Then did the little birds nudge each ether. They said : "'He thinks lie can sing." '1 hey threw back their 'needs to laugh Wirh (plaint countenances They regarded him. They were \ory curious, Those three little "birds in a row." Judge Goff has so far abatid the rigor and the vigor and the nigger of his registration injunction as to pass an order allowing offices of registra tion in the State to be opened on the first Monday in June. As a conse quence, our County Supervisor, Mr. 3?. Gary Caugbinan, was in bis office on Monday of this week. We half suspect however, that Gary would have open ed up anyway. The overworked brethren of the South Carolina press Association are having a gay old time. A ^delightful banquet at Sumter and a free trip to Washington were among the attrac tive features of their annual meeting last week. The Association compli mented their old officers by re-elect ing them for another year, in the meantime cotton will have crawled up tb ten cents. Their names are as fol lows : President, E. H. Aull: First vice-president, H. G. Osteen; Second vice president, J. C. Hemphill; Secre tary, C. C. Langston ; Treasurer, F. M etchers; Chaplain, the Sidi II.

Teachers throughout the county are requested to correspond with School Commissioner Lott in the matter of holding a Teachers Institute sometime this summer. They are requested to make suggestions as to the time and place for holding such institute. Citizens Meeting. There will be a meeting of the citi zens or' oue town on Friday afternooi of this week at 5 o'clock. The pur pose of this meeting is to clear the track for the factory whistle-or in other words to consider the advisa bility of exempting the cotton factory from town taxes for a series of years. We Are Proud of Him. We are in receipt of an invitation to the commencement exercises of the Columbia City Graded Schools. Among the names of the gradu?tes of this year we mention the name of George IL Bunch, a son of Capt. J. W. Bunch George is only fifteen years of age the youngest of the graduating class and the youngest probably who has ever graduated in the Graded Schools of Columbia. Edgefield is proud of her sons and especially when they come in Bunches. An experiment in Oats. Mr. W. L. Walton, of the Meeting Street section, has the finest oats prob ably in the county. He sowed ttvice last lairtTiifl! KM nrer antr-botfr?o*?ii>g? were killed by the cold weather. Inn the early spring of this year he'drilled | j thirty acres in oats using 200 pounds of guano per acre, the drills being about eight (6) inches apart. At ihis writing the outlook for an abundant yield is very promising. Perhaps in this experiment of Farmer Waltons we have the solution of the oat prob lem of how to avoid the freezes and put old winter in the 9 hole. We shall watch friend Walton's experiment with great interest. Personal Mention. Co!. W. H. Folk lost a very fine hors? one dav 'ast week. We are sorry to say Iliat Mrs. Joe Jones is no better. Mr.-. W. H. Folk left our town on Tuesday to spend a while with frieirls at Greenwood. In the absence of Dr. Gwaltney, Mr. T. D. Lanham conducted pray er meeting last Wednesday night. The n-guiar meeting of the Ro pers Y. M. C. A. will be held Sun day afternoon at 4 o'clock. Subject, Gods care. I Pet. 5-7 and 8 verses. Leader, J. D. Timmerman. There is a handsome, Fair boy in town who wears a very sad countenance, and we sympathise with him deeply, for a lovely Angeli has left him, but she will soon return. She will only Cheat him of her presence for a short while. items From Antioch. MR. EDITOR: Saturday Jnne 1st was a day that will be long re membered by the children of An tioch. It was the occasion of the annual picnic of the Antioch Sun day school. Notwithstanding the intense heat anil backwardness of our farmers, the fair and lovely daughteis tanned youths and bright and interesting children mingled together for one day's pleasure. Mr. Joe Cantelou, a prominent young lawyer of the Edgeiiald bar, was the orator of the day. No better sslection could have been ? made. Mr. Cantelou completely captivated the people, and we hear nothing but praise for this conse crated young niau. We hope tr, lay before your readerR his address in the near future. The programme consisted of songs and recitations. The first recitation was by Miss Carrie Big ham, the bright and intelligent daughter of Mr. Mat. Bigham. She was followed by Misses Alma Hammond, Mattie Mime, Sophia Miras, and Masters Lovick and Ben Minis. The recitations were simple and appropriate. The children had bet'ii well trained and acquitted themselves with honor. Especial ly do wc wish to mention the reci tation of little Sophie Mime. In deed the lovely child recited ina most ch arm ingra aimer. The sing ing was tb.3 best we ever had at Antioch for years. Mr. Geo. Minns rendered ii valuable assistance, md his performance onfthe clario net added much to the occasion. The Superintendent of the school is iudebted lo Mrs. Mat. Bigham, Mrs. Andrew Gardner, Mrs. Ab ney Mime?, and a host of other no ble women for the assistance ren dered him. Also is he under obli gations to Messrs. Ben Glanton, Jr., Ed. Bigham, John Gardner, Tom Gardner, Audrew Gardner ind Wm. Wood. May the seed sown at old Antioch bring forth au ibundant harvest for the Master. Mrs. A. A. Glover will leave on Saturday for MeetingStieet, where she will visit relatives for a week. Mrs. Sharpton who has been :eaching for Mr. Jas. T. Miras will ieave us in a few days for your city. Mrs. Sharptou has made many friends in this community who regret to loose her. G. HIE SWEET GIRL GRADU ATE. Some Bright Hits From Xzan tippe. June has reached us with its bent and dust and man hunts the noonday shade, or becks the ice cream grotto, or the fountain from which streams the ice cold soda. The summer girl sends out invita tions to her graduation, which means that her roy ul highness will ?woopdown upon us wry soon-a full Hedged graduate with all the new and advanced ideas, enriched with a diploma aud half a dozen medals, and a trunk full cf frip pery. She comes equipped with all the pomp and circumstance of glorious war as she parades down the street (and she does parade) the admiration of all lookers on. She will walk with an entirely new 3witch, but never, never, do you call her or them by the old no,me, for she will be known as Patrika, nr Philippana, or Imogene, and you will be treated with a haughty stare if you address her as Kate, or Jennie, or Madge of days gout by. Indeed she will pass you with supercilious scorn and knock you in a dead heap as she switches by. Now, this is the average college graduate. We know lovely, intel lectual, distinguished girls, who can boast of some of the finest in stitutions of learning as their al ina maters, who will como home handicapped by no such foolish ideas. We ring down the curtaiu m the average college mis?. Give as the girl of innate refinement md ?ense. The woman suffragists are now riding on the crest of the wave. Of course we heard Mrs. Nebbett 1 md Miss Clay. They were inter esting.-T-fee first - named-wasjlig^. _ nified, had a pleasant face, and masses of beautiful snow-white nair-a native born Edgefield wo man, claiming the champion's be'tonthat account. Miss Clay ivas just the brightest little Wes tern Yankee (a 200 pounder) with jver so much snap and go. We would have so liked to toss her a diamond ring. No comments just bore about her relationship to Henry Clay-chesnuts! Let every woman row her own boat. I do not care to storm the ballot box just yeta while, Miss Laura Clay, and Miss Heleu Mor ris Lewis! As clever as you are, we are not quite won over. Every ivoraan cannot but strive to be self supporting, but do let the men rote and go to Congress and b? the preachers and the lawyers and the ?ditors, the only ones, just a little while uutil we can accustom our selves to the new regime. Women ire a power along the line any way, *ven if she be as demure as a mouse. 'She rules the camp, the court, the grove, Man below ami saint above." From the remotest antiquity it goes without saying there was never an intrigue but shat 6ome poor woman was caught in its in tricate meshes. Time would fail us lo bring before the footligbt-s such renowned, women, and their deeds of daring, as Egyptian Cleo patra, Catherine de Medici, Cath erine of Russia, Joan of Arc, Charlotte Corday, May, Queen of Scots, beautiful and ill-fated. We would far rather eulogize such characters as the wives of Dr. Jud son, the Misses Kockfeller. Coun tess Burdette-Coutts. The Princess of Wales, and legions of others whose influence is all for good. Apropos of good deeds and noble lives, we do not know of any life which was made up of more noble aims, and which was more worthy of emulation, than that of the Rev. Alec Betti?, the colored preacher, whose death was mourned by thou sands of his own race. Edgefield has several lovely young girls as guests for the sum mer from Washington, Miss Marie Butler, daughter of Seuator But ler ; her cousin, Miss Lil Buller; from Atlanta, Miss lissie Flem ing, as demure and sweet as any woodland flower. Dear friends, "wo will see you later.'' Xz ANTIPPE. Send 4e!s ii: stamps to fhe Aay ner Distilling Co., Springfield, Ohio. They will send you an ele gant leather bound memoranda book.

To tile Confederate veterans of Edgefield County and others in sympathy : Mrs. Cindy Horn, now old and feeble and very poor, was with Co. "K"14 S. C. Regt, through the four years of the Lite war. She cared for the sick and wounded, and washed and mended the clothes of our soldiers. This poor woman in h'?r old age needs htdp. Let every old veteran and those in sympathy ?end to Mr. W. N. .Bur nett, Treasurer of Abner Perrin Camp, whatever they feel disposed to give Mrs. Horn, and it will be given to her. If you cannot spare more than a nickel or a dime, send that.
