And Sam Taylor says that they make furniture in Xorth Carolina out of compressed air, and that is the reason why they can sell it so cheap. Mrs. CA.

Bell, we hear, has been awarded the contract, and this is a guarantee that it will bc a nice building. A hosiery mill for Edgefield is in the near future, in fact it is right on us. For the benefit of those of our readers who do not know what a hosiery miil is, we would state that a hosiery mill is a sox mill. You know by this time that s-o-x spells sox. For particulars see Col. Tillman. From all we can hear the sma'll grain was not much injured by the recent cold, rather improved by the snow than otherwise. Mr. John K. Tomp kins, who is secretary and treasurer of the Edgefield Cotton Mill, and lives in town, but who also has a farm in the country, reports this cereal as looking well, vigorous and healthy. Lawyer Jim DeVore was standing in front of the postcfiice the other day, when an old colorer man came up, and, touching his hat, asked : '.Kin you tell me is dis de place to git postage stamps?" "Yes, this is the place," said Lawyer DeVore. seeing the chance for a little fun: "but what do you want with postage stamps, uncle?" "To mail a letter, sah, of course." "Well, then you needn't bother about stamps. You dwn'C have to put any stamps on letters this week." "No, sir! Why fur not?" "Well, you see, the conglomeration of the hypothiMiusc has difi'erentiaied the parallelogram so much that the consanguinity don't emulate the ordi nary effervesence, and so the govern ment has decided to send letters free." The old man took off his hat, doubt fully shook his head, and then with a long: sigh said : "Wtll, boss, all dat may bo true, and I don't say it ain't; but sposen dat the ecksentricity of de aggregation tran substanshates ds ijrnominiousness of de puppendickerlar and sublimates de persicurity of de consequences, den you qualificate de guv'ment would cornfiscate dat dar letter? Speck I better put some stamps on anyhow fur good luck." Having said which, the old coon went .slowly and solemnly down the J street hun>ming: "I'm gwine ter quit dis country. And gwine ter quit it soon, De niggers talkin' white folks talk And white folks talkin'coon." And the laugh was on Lawyer Jim. Mr. M. B. Starkey, of Plum Branch, was in town on Monday of this week. Mr. Starkey thinks that Plum Branch has bright future before her yet, not withstanding 4 cents cotton. During the recent cold spell a one horse load of wood sold in our town as high as 75 cent?, about $3.50 per cord. What with the building of factories and increase of population, wood in a few years will be one of the big items of expense. Moral : Tate care of your wood lands, preserve your timber! The A. G. Broadwater Marble Works is a new departure for Edgelield, and we hope our people will give this new industry an abundant patronage, .at any rate before giving orders else where give this home enterprise a trial.

Charlie Smith, a colored man, living on Mr. Jesse Dom's place near Pleas ant Lane, froze to death last week dur ing the severe cold weather.

Georgia I4 mit.1 The effect? oC the blizzard on the fruit and vegetable crops of the south is engaging the attention of horticulturis, at and trees are being examined with extraordinary interest. The best information obtainable at the hour when the ?Semi-Weekly Journal goes to press is that all early,peaches and ali vegetables in middle and southern Georgia were killed. There is a difference of opinion as to whether the peach crop in southern and middle Georgia wiil be a total loss. lt is believed by some that while earlier peaches are all killed, the loss is not so great among the Emma and Elberta orchards. In this, however, there is some diifer 1_CXTi-lJI 1AI1 In north Georgia it is believed that the fruit crop is safe, as the buds were not so far advanced as in the southern half of the state. Mr. James Barrett, " a vice president of the Agricultural society, says the fruil crop is not seriously damaged in Hie vicinity of.Augusta. Mr. J. H. Easterlin thiuks the damage very considerable in the vicinity of Marshallvilh: and Fort Valley, but possibly not a total loss. Captain B. E. Park and Mr. \V. Jemison, of Macon, think some of the Elberta peaches have eacaped destruct iou. It is considered probable that the damage to the peach crop in the vicinity ofTiiton is very great, and the large interests there have suffered severely.-Atlanta Jour nal. Town Killers.

As 1 have hoard some of the old soldiers quoting a remark of Gen. M. W. Gary's st Campbell station on Hie 17th or 18th of Nov., 1803, in which I am patisfied they misuderstood Iii m. They say that he remarked thal one of our men who was most horribly sri. shed by a shell, both his lower limos being torn into shreds, looked like a "cursed frog." But he . said like a "crushed frog," doubtless quoting Dirk Hatteraick when he spoke of killing Kennedy by throwing him off a precipice and then rolling stones on him. See Walter Scott's -"> C?. i,?-?-*-e?- -1- - The general could not have made such a remark as they understood. That was a bad place we were in. lying under a heavy battery of the Federals at point blank range for one and a half hours, waiting for some of our troops to get in the rear of them, before we opened ?re; just had to grin and endure it, and failed at last, as General Law did not go far enough and came m on their left front and spoiled the trap. It has been said that he did this on purpose, as he did not care to give General Jenkins the honor of the capture. Thus treating him as he is said to have done in Willsis valle}' in October, where he withdrew from the tight without giving notice, and come neal* causing him, with two or three brigades, to be captured, histed of capturing the enemy. I spent nearly all the time while lying under fire of the artillery that was cutting us fearfully close, in watching the countenance of our men and officers, to see who stood it best. As the colonel, as he was then, was near me I had to give him credit for as good nerve as any of the other o?icers and men, many of them could Lave gotten a little lower in the road where the bank was 15 to 18 inches high. Thi.s and similar things of the sort, I suppose General Sher man had in mind, when he said, orison reported, that i/i war he bari lifted the door and looked into hell. But tbs higher generals as he was, generally looked with a 1 field glass, at long range, while the smaller aud officers and privaten, actually explore the re- ? gion, and fiercely contested the : possession amid sorue of the ap- ' purlenances of that "dread region," ' as a reminder ; such as heat, thirst, sulphurous smoke, gruesome sights and hideous groans. "All me: what perils -lo environ j The man that meddler wirb cold iron/' Coiouel Gary in making this 1 quotation, about the poor mangled ' man (who gave more and louder ' expression of pain, than all others j combined I heard during the war) , shows that he retained his reason- i ing faculties. To add to the 1 sharpness of o'ir position in that road, shells fell arnoug us from our . own batteries, in the rear, from defective ammunition or beiue: mistaken for the enemy. One from our side struck the man sp a of above. AGPJCOLIST. A. J.. Gill, Jr., Scotia, S. C., writes: I have used Dr. M. A. Simmons Liver Medicine in my family 10 years.
