Last Friday and Saturday were tue hottest days April has given us since fflfi?i ff'ti-r Wi*! ?i jP"1 that *ear? Gen. Du novan t tells ul, tnTTlSern??n?e? ter registered 100 degrees Fahrenheit. What sort of an April is this we are having any how? AH smiles and no tears. We are requested to announce that the Jim Tillman Carr of Confederate Veterans will meet at Parksville on Friday the 1st of May. Cashier E. J. Mims of the Bank of Edgefield has purchased the Bland property opposite Dr. Hill, but will not take possession until September, The building of the factory has al already added to the population of our town. The Fairmont inn is receiving11 a weekly increase of patronage. It doesn't make any difference now whether this cuts any ice or not. but j we tell you Ramsey & Bland's prices on vehicles and harness is enough to warm competition. The Parksville High School will close for the session on the first day of j May. There will be an entertainment at night, free, to which the public is cordially invited. There is a better stand of oats in Edgefield county than for many years and wivh rains-now much needed, tue crop will be a good one. Dr. R. J. Talbert and wife a most estimable lady, daughter of Ellington A. Searles, from the bustling booming town of McCormick, were in town on Monday. Mr. James M. Bell haa been ap pointed clerk of tho Board of soun ly commissioners instead of L. J. Courtuoy resigned. Miners at work in a gold miue'iu Cabarrus county, N. C., last week took out a nugget weighing 21% pounds and estimated to be worth $4,800, it is the second largest nuggpt ever found in the United States. The Edgefield Baptist Sunday School convention meets this year with the Parksville Baptist Chnrch on Satur day before the 3rd Sunday in July. We are m receipt of the programme ot exercises which will be published hi ter. Three candidates ibis week only, Mr. Albert R. Nicholson for School Commissioner and Mr. J. Russell Wright for Treasurer and Mr. H. Q. Talbert for Supervisor. The Scate Baptist convention of Georgia recommended the withdrawal of fellowship from all members who drank whiskey as a beverage, and the ^members were urged to vote for anti bar-room candidates. On the first Sunday in May. there will be read, D. V., at the Red Oak Grove Baptist Church a historical sketch of that Church-extendingover a period of eighty-four (84) years from 1812. The sketch is well written and it is hoped that many will attend to hear it, especially th? older people. Pierce Mitchell colored, desires the public to know that he hauled the first load of sand with which to make the mortar for the construction of the Edgefield cotton factory, and this he did on .'ast Thursday in the p. m. Let it so go upon thc record-and such is fame and such are we poor mortals, *that even to haul a load of sand puts us in the stream of ambition. The blue birds, that we feared had left these regions forever have return ed, at least Mr. Foster Cheatham saw two on his plantation last week. Mr. Andrew Gardner too saw a couple of them on his place not long ago. The blue birds' cheerful notes now ring ? Among the trees and flowers; 'The balmy, genial, gentle spring Wjth sunshine and no showers. Messrs. Thomas ?. Lanham and E. J. Mima, and Dr Manly Timmons were on 'ast Sunday morning ordain deaconsof our Edgefleld village Bap tist church. The ordination sermon, preached by Kev. M r. Hartzog. was an instructive and entertainingdiscourse. Mr. Hartzog, although a very young man, is evidently a deep thinker, and we predict for bim a career of great usefulness and marked success in his ?.hcsennrofession. I Dr.AwaltneY's charge to the newly instairfti deacons was most eloquent 'and deeply impressive. He evidently feds nearer his audience when on the floor of the church than in the pulpit and he on such occasions gets closer to our in H T selves for it is then that the lips jtterwnat mind, heart, and soul thiuk and hope and yearn for. Stop eating poor bread and heavy biscuit long enough to read Mr. G. D. Mime's adverlisemen* in this irsue of the ADVERTISER. He is a machinist of the highest type. At piesent Mr. Minis is at Barr's lauding in Lexington coun ty changing a plant from tho old to the new system. Rev. P. P. Blalock preached in our Baptist church on last Sun day night au excellent sermon to a large and appreciative audience. He also gave a very pleasant and inspiring talk to the young men at the Y. M. C. A. Hall on the afternoon of the same day. From all accounts Edgefield's step-sister, McCormick (same mammy different daddy) is about to realize her fondest hopes ?md drea'iis of material prosperity. A manganese mine is in full and successful operation, a new flour ing mill is soon to be erected, and a cotton factory is in sight ?nd water power abundant for the operation of all kinds of machin ery. We will tell the rest some other time. What is It? For a week or so, at various hours, night and day, our people, some of them at li-ast, have been hearing pe culiar, roaring sounds-something like thunder or che rattle of a train in the distance. These noises seem to be heneath the earth's surface. It may be the swish and lap of the melted lava on the inner crust; who knows? Red Bank Gets lt. The second primary, held to deter mine the site for Saluda Court House, resulted as follows: Red Bank receiv ed 913 votes, Emory 825, a majority of 8S for Ked Bank. Upon motion of J. M. Forrest the vote for Ked Bank was made unanimous. A Ton to thc Barrel. Air. Abe Broadwater wants to en gagea large uumber of empty flour barrels. Tliey are to be used for hiv ing his bees that are swanning now at the rate of fifteen swarms a day. Mr. Broadwater got his idea of using flour barrels from nis friend and neighbor, Capt. U. K. Gallman, who tided it last year and got a ton ol" honey from each barrel. We tell the taleas.it mastoid to us. A Lost Road. Ei{ iteen months ago t he public road leadiug fromthj?^Wjinille If ne -*u ? Whit^ja^rseT?T?his county known as t?re^o?i Wellington road was advertis ed as "Lost." We are advised by par ties most interested mat it has not been found yet. One end of said road ijuipmuu* lobe in Unm iwrotr Ga., the other is in this county but un inhabited ou either side. Any infor mation of the whereabouts of said road will be thankfully received by County Supervisor Whittle. Almanac Weather. Prof. Tice's weather forecast for April,says : "From the 21st to the 30th there will be numerous terrific thun der storms, heavy rains and tornadoes. Tornadoes will be more probable and more destructive on the 28th, 29th, and 30th." This same almanac said : "Clouds and rain on the 16th,'17th, and 18th, with moderate thunder storms in the central and Southern States" Inasmuch as there was'nt a drop of rain on these three last dates we may conclude that the almanac falso in uno falsis in omnibus. Hope Doesn't Enrich. You can't get rich on hope; you may hope all day that someone will come along and saw your wood, but that doesn't keep the lire going. The way to get rich is to save money ; and the way to save money is to trade at Ramsey & Bland's. Ask Something Else. Some weeks ago we mentioned the fact, which turned out not to be a fact, that our popular young towns man, Mr. Horace Dorn, would soon ieave Edgeileld and go into business at Greenwood. Well, he did not goto .ireenwood-had never fully made up his mind to go-indeed, Edgefleld would'nt let him go. Nevertheless nearly every day since the publication of this item one or more friends or ac quaintances, dropping into the Lynch store, would ask some such question as ti.is : "You here yet, Horace? I thought you had gone to Greenwood !" Horace has got so tired of answering this question and making explana tions that he begs us to do it in the ADVERTISER He is so busy walting n customers that he really has'nt > time for such matters. Horace bas no idea of leaving Edgefleld.. His first love is here-in fact, all of 'em are here. He has to see some of 'em twice a week and if he should go to Greenwood he could'nt see any of 'em more than once a month-the very thought would make a Siberia for him even of this heated term, and of sun-bright sun blest Edgefleld. Deacon Frank Youngblood. Friends of Frank M. Young blood formerly of this place, will be glad to read tho following pleas ant words taken from the Baptist Courier of last week, in its ac count of tho union meeting with the Ellenton Baptist church: "After the sermon and collec tion Sunday morning, Bro. F. M. Youngblood was ordained to the office of deacon ; and the church is to bc congratulated on having the services of such a consecrated and godly man. We pray Ihe good Lord to mako his face? to shine upon his servant, and help him to be "a man after his own heart." $150.00 in Gold Given For Selling "Story of Spain and Cu ba."

Blessings to Humanity. ^ April showers are a blessing to the honest yeomanry, because they insure ?rc'11-ftlled granaries with the good things of the soil, but these aresuiall [compared with the blessings that Ramsey & Bland will bestow upon their thousands of patrons who will avail themselves of the low prices they are offering on Wagons, Buggies, Har ness, Furniture, Collins and Caskets. Incendiary Fire. On Friday night last Mr. Ben Har rison, living near Trenton, lost his barn, stables, a horse and mule, fodder, corn &c, bv Ure. There seems to he no doubt that the burning was the act of an incendiary, indeed it seems that there is an organized body in this vi cinity whose purpose is to burn and rob. A little more than a year ago Dr. J. B. Courtney had his gin house burned by negroes; last year Mrs. Swoaringen los* her gin house in the 'ame way and now Mr. Harrison has been burned out-and all these fires were in the same section. A detective employed by the State is in order. Bacon Democratic Club. Will meet at Harmony May 2nd at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. By order J. H. BOUKNIGHT, Pres. T. G. Smith, Sec.

EDITOR : We are very dry now, so much so that farm work cannot progress as rapidly as wo desire. In many places plows are stopped on account of hard Jand, corn planted before the hard rain some two weeks or more has not come up to a good stand while that planted just after is looking well and to a eland, I have heard much talk about the increased acreage in cotton, I don't think it is the caie in this community. It seems to be the intention of all my neigh bors to raise a sufficiency of corn and other produce and then raise what colton theyjcau. The many friends of Miss Gell Richards are delighted that she has returned to the home of Dr. and Mrs. Prescott after au extend ed visit to relatives in Augusta and other poiuts. Mr. and Mrs. Robt.
