The Yisses Broom gave a pleasant tableau party at their home on Tues day evening. The floods in the Mississippi river destroyed ?property toi the value of $100,000,000. March came in and went out not like a lamb or a lion, but like a whale in water from snout to tail. The Savannah river is higher now than it bas been for several years, ' and all the adjacent low lands are un der water. It is getting time of the year for mad dog. Shoot jill the dogs supposed to be mad and you will be sure to get the right ones. Augusta bas been selected as the place where the Georgia Baptist con vention of this state will hold its next annual meeting.

Land ? owners should strictly enforce the law r in regard to trespassing by prose cuting violators of the game law. ( Buggy buyers will do the proper 1 thing and the wise thing to see the < handsome line of these goods in the \ aorta of Ramsey & Jones before buy- - ing. Bo sure to do this, and onr word * for it yon will never regret it. < Rev. J. C. Abney, of Colombia, a na- { ti ve by the way of Edgefieid, is trying , to build two Methobist churches at Granby and Richland cotton mills in < Columbia, and is meeting with marked success. c The roads are so bad that it is im- ! possible for ladies in the country to t come to town except for the sole pur- i pose of buying a spring hat or .bon net. For such a purpose, m 'such a 1 cause, it is said they would swim the l Znyder Sea. t Under a new law oounty Supervisors j have to make and publish quarterly | reports. Some of the Supervisors are already publishing their first quarters 6 report to wit ; for the months January C February, and March. Whether Edge- j field comes under the provisions of this new law we do not know. ] Fodder is selling at $1.25 in this 1 market nearly double the price of '<? former years. In the language of ' friend Horde Allen, we would re- - mark that we do not want any higher ] tariff on "roughness." Congressman i McLaurin will please take notice. - Is it exactly the proper thing for Senator Gaines and Representative j Yeldell to hold on to their resp est i ve offices now since they have moved out j of the county? We ask for infor mation only, and no doubt Senator j Gaines and Repesentative Yeldell , will have no objection to giving the j people their views. , The Fidelity Deposit company, of 1 Maryland does not act as executor, ' administrator, guardian, receiver or ; trustee, but furnishes security for < those occupying such positions, and ' its bonds are accepted by judges of 1 state courts and of the circuit and dis- f trict courts of the United States. For 1 further information call on W. F. Roat h, Advertiser Building. The Cosmopolitan Magazine is the ', cheapest monthly of its high class published in the world, while at the 1 same time it is one of the most in tenting, and best illstrated. The literary excellence of its articles is unsurpassed and many of the illustra tion are often of great artistic merit. 1 The magazine ii published at Irving ton, N. Y. at only $1,00 a year. The Sooth Carolina Presbytery meets in Anderson on Tuesday and will continue in session several days. This Presbytery is composed of the Presbyterian churches in the coun ties of the Third Congressional Dis trict, and also Edgefieid and part of Lexington county. The opening ser mon will be preached on Tuesday night at 8 o'clock by Rev. B. P. Reid. An exchange aptly remarks that, "when yon see a youth who will do any sort of work, and no matter how menial it may be, rather than be idle you make op your mind that fe' ow will amount tosomething. The young man who would starve before he would do anything beneath what be conceives to be hie dignity is not made of the right stuff to cut much of a figure in this world. Dont be afraid of any sort olf work so long as lt is honorable," Bill Arp is s aid to be greatest v and humorist on the American sta to-day. Dr. Gwaltney will AU the pulpit the Bethel church next ?Sunday, which Rev. John Lake is pastor.

Easter Services. On next Sunday night, beginning a 3 o'clock, there will be an Easter ser vice in our village Methodist ohurcb consisting of recitations, song servie and an address by the pastor, Rev. Mi Dantzler. Coming ! Bill Arp, the South's great ha morist and philosopher, will lee ture in the Opera House Thursday erening, 23rd inBt. Get you tickets early if you want to bea him. School Books. Assistant Attorney General C. P Townsend gives it as his opinion tbs it is entirely discretionary with thi County Board of Education whether i special fund shall be set aside for thi purchase of school books for the sc hoch of the county at aotual cost. They maj if deemed advisable, but are not re quired to do so, as some have thought So Mote It Be, Senator B. R. Tillman called on President McKinley a few day* lince, and after the interview pro nounced ''Mac a good fellow." If ;his means that our Senator has i "pull" with the President we hope ie will use it to keep a Demo cratic postmaster at Edgefield dur ing McKinley's administration, as Senator Butler kept one in during Harrison's term. Ten Thousand Per Month. The State board of control has lecidedthat it could and would mt aside for the credit of the gen eral fund $10,000 per month, but that the money would not be paid into the State treasury at this time is the State has a good deal of ;ash on hand, but the money will se accumulated for the State treas uer, when wanted, at the rate of HOjOOO per month. ?Who Cologne With." The Salt River Free Silver Club, >f Missouri, has adopted and for warded to Senator B. R. Tillman he following resolution. The club s evidently down on cologne : uWe tender to the Hon. B, R. Tillman, of the United States of America, with uncovered heads, he tribute of our highest regards br his noble and manly course in roicing the sentiment of his coun rymen against corrupt and wick id officials at Washington who cologne with tiusts and swindlers." Board of Examiners. The State Board of Education las adopted a series of 25 rules for the schools which materially mange conditions as to schools in .he state. The most important of ;he rules are : No trustee can en Joy a teacher related to them with n the second degree in the public schools. Nor can such a teacher ie related to principal. The.third grade certificates as :c ;e ac h er s are abolished. There are to be three instead of ;wa examinations forjteachers. There will be but one set of ques tions ~and 75* instead of SO is requisite for the first grade and 70 for the second ; but no one shall be liven a certificate who fails to nake 50 on any grade. The State board alone can give the right to my one to sell supplies and the county board can prevent such sale of supplies in the county. Upon i permit from the county board supplies approved by the state board may be bought. The state board appointed the following board for Edgefield county : H. S. Hartzog and E. H. Folk. Q. JJ. Penn & Son. This is the oldest mercantile house in Edgefield. Established in 1835 by the father, his name was for fort} -two years a household word in Edgefield cou tty from the Savannah to the Sa luda, and from Ninety-Six to Beech Island. In 1877 the admission of W. B. Penn to a partnership made the change to G. L. Penn & Son. Since the death of the senior partner the firm name has been retained and is still G. L. Penn & Son. Sixty-two years is a long time in the life o' t business house, a long time to retain the confidence, patronage and good will of a people and it cannot be done unless there be abundant good cause for such confi dence. The reason fer such must be found in the square dealing that bas always characterized both father and son. A new cart) from this firm ap years in this issue of the ADVERTISER that deserves special attention, written as it is by a local ad-smith of genius and reputation in such matters. Later we shall make further notice of some special summer features of the Penn Loray Soda Fountain. For the pres ent, reader, it will be sufficient to cite you to the drug and grocery depart ment, alway*? up to date withjtbe latest and the beat.J Act at Once. Citizens of the various towD ships iii Edgefield county should meet at once and designate three of their number as a township board of pensions. Unless you do ibid at an early date you will be debarred and get no pensions for the? year 1897. Do not wait for somebody to call you together, but act of your own motion and at once. Since writing the above we have received an official notice published elsewhere, to which we call the attention of all interested in pensions. The Missionary Service, j The mission meeting at the Baptist church iast Sunday evening was one of decided interest, and more enjoyed than many previous ones. The musi cal program con sisted of hymns by the choir, accompanied by the cornet, clarionet, violin and organ. A paper was read by Mr. O. Sheppard written by Dr. F. R. Timmons, and talks were mi.de by Dr. Gwaltney, Rev. John Lake, J. H. Cantelou and 0. Sheppard* It was thought that $100 could be raised for foreign missions this month so that this church might do its full share in helping to liquidate the debt now pressing so heavily on our board and on the hearts of the Christian peo ple of our land who love the cause of Christ and the spread of his Gospel. Hicks on April. Very warm weather will pre vail most parts during the open ing days of April. A storm period tuns from the 1st to 5th, during which time a low barometer will develop and cross the country, re sulting in storms of wind, rain and thunder, with possible dashes of snow in far north and a cool wave following. About 8th and 9tb, reactionary storms will be due. Look for very cool nights, and frost northward, after storms. From about 14th to 18th is a storm period in which numerous causes for hard and dangerous storms are present. Watch barometer and clouds, and do not be surprised if tornadoes pass over the land Very cool, frosty nights will fol low. On and about 20th, warmer with more storm conditions, and followed by cooler. The closing storm period for April is from the 24th to 28th. Look for dashes of rain and hail with high barometer and cool following. Davis-Ashmore. Mr. A. T. Davis, oldest son of John B. Davis, Esq., reached home with his bride on Friday last and was given a reception cn the same night at the residence of hie father. The bride is a Misa Ashmore, of Greenville. The Greenville News speaks of the marriage as f ollows : Constable Andrew T. Davis was married last night to Miss Emma Ashmore, one ol: the handsomest and most attractive young ladies of the county. The ceremony was quiet, taking place at the residence of the bride's father. ex-County Com missioner W. H. Ashmore, ten miles south of the city, near Lenderman post officie, in the. presence of a few friends of both young people, the Rev. T. H. Posey officiating. Miss Sudie Davis, the strikingly handsome sister of the groom came over from Edgefield to wit ness the event. She accompanied the happy couple to Edgefield this : morning by way of Laurens.

FREELAND, Adj't Camp Jim Tillman, No. 741. Plum Branch, April 9th. Old Mt. Vernon and Kirkseye. DEAR ADVERTISER : I hail from Vernon, about eighteen miles from your beloved town. Your paper reaches us weekly and it is a pleasure to peruse its columns. Mud is the predominant feature up here. In going to and from school we find mudl mud? mud! How gladly we would welcome some fair spring weather. Just j now it seems that winter is mak- j ing a return trip. Yesterday it was our privilege I to visit Kirkseys. Had often heard of the place, but never beheld it before. It is, indeed, a great re gion for trade. As you draw nigh you may see numbers of horses tied, and when you enter nil hands are busy. We were waited upon by Mr. J. C. Self, of Self. He ie an affable, pleasant young gentle man. They have severed depart ments, and you can find almost anything needed in their estab lishment. It is like a railroad town. After, making perchases, we returned to the highway to en counter cold wind, mud a nd water. Vernon's school is progressing right nicely. Am glad to see these people taking an interest in the training of their children. Th8y seem thoroughly aroused., as all parents should be, for we know that faculties should not be allow ed to lie dormant. We have been very courteously entertained in the horns of Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Lanior. They know how to treat you well, and feed you well. Mr. J. S. Harrison has bad an attack of erysipelas, but we are glad to say he is out again. Mrs. G. M. Lanier is in rather | feeble healih. We attend services regularly at] Mt. Vernon Methodist church. They have an able minister, the j Rev. Mr. Justus, formerly of North Carolina. He is a deep thinker, j He speaks very highly of the Rey. P. P. Blalock; they have been in timately associated. As I admire Mr. Blalock so much it was a pleas ure to meet one of his old friends. They speak of having Childrens' Day at Mt. Vernon in the near fu ture, and I think it promises to be very interesting. Mr. Editor, can't you come up? Vernon Sunday school is zealously superintended by Mr. J. M. Jordan. He is an un assuming but good worker. I appreciate very highly a com plimentary ie8ue cf This Way,] sent by the editor some time since Hearts were saddened to near of the death of Miss Alice Duriaoo. Our heartfelt sympathies go out to the bereaved loved ones. They] should try not to think of the separation, but of the reunion] over there." May heaven seem nearer since she is there. Very little plowing has been done up to this date. What will 1 the farmers do about their crops? . Am very well contentad up here, , srill there are times when home sick feelings creep over me. Then were I the possessor of Aladdin's ' Lamp, I would quickly be with the j loved ones at home, notwithstand ing I enjoy my field of labor. I < Many kind wishes for the AD- 11 ?ERTISER. E.

C., April 2.-On Monday morning at 6 30 o'clock Death visited our town and claimed for its victim Mrs. Elia Red, wife of Capt M. L. Red of McCormick and daughter of Dr. T, E. Jen nings, of th's place. Mrs. Red had been a great sufferer for mauy months irorn that dread disease consumption, but she bore it all with the greatest patience and Christian fortitude expressing herself at all times as desiring to live and raise her four little children, but if the reverse was the will of God she was willing to be at rest. This writer has J known her from her girlhood and can teetifiy to the noble christian influence which she wielded on all around her. In the home with husband and children, at her church, and at all times and places she displayed the piety and de votion to the Master's cause which characterized her whole life. She was a dutiful daughter, a devoted wife and a most tender affection ate mother, always striving to train up her children in the way they should go. Truly she was a "jewol of rare value, a pearl of great price a model of a woman aa chaste as the Temple of Virtue," Her home had been at McCor ick for several years, but a short time ago she expressed a desire to be brought to the parental roof to spend the few remaining days left her, accordingly she was re moved home to die. She lived but a fow days afterwards, when she was taken to that Home where there is no more sorrow, sickness nor death. She was borne to the church by the f ollowing pall bearers : Messrs. J* W. Bradley and L. N. Cham berlain, of McCormick, G. P. Moore, J. W. .Brooks and A. R. Vaites of Modoc. Her paster., Rev. G. W. Bussey, preached the funeral from the words, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord." His discourse was very impressive and was attentively listened to by a large au dience of her friends who, with the family, were all the time bathed in tears. After tho sermon her remains were borne to the* grave and laid away to await the final resurrection when all the redeemed shall meet to part no more. Our heartfelt sympathies are sxtended to the bereaved husband father, sisters, brothers and her four little motherless children -A Friend, McCormick Times.
