Edeef ield Advertiser ? WEDNESDAY, MARCH 22. Death of an Aged and Beloved Mother.* "There is no love like the good old love The leve that mother gave us." And now Mrs. Lizzie Tompkinp, relict of the late Col. J. W. Tbmp kii,8-and mother of Joe Tomp kins and Frank Tompkins and John Tompkins, and Mrs. Arthur Dean and Mrs. Frank Warren and JMrs. Harry Hill-this good old 'mother-meek, pious, gentle, kind4 and good Christian mother-on Sabbath evening last fell asleep in Jesu?. And, thank God, she was ripe for the sickle, and ready for the summo jg. And the blessed ' Lord, knowing that his loved ones, . "Like weary and worn-out children, . they sigh for the day-lights close : And knowing that they oft are longing ' for home and its sweet repose; ? Gently He calls them in from their la bors ere the shadows around them creep, And, silently watching o'er them, 'He giveth His loved ones sleep.' ' And thus it is now with this good mather in Israel. And in the happy land "on the other side," her joys are joys forevermore. Mrs. Tompkins had well-nigh reached her three-score and ten, and through all these years she had well.and.faithfully, and -patiently and lovingly discharged all her duties as wife, mother, friend. And .now she rests-lovingly rests in Heaven.' Therefore, sorrowing and bereaved children, grand-children, sisters and brother, and friends, knowing that "It is well" with your dearly beloved one 'Tut by her work and her empty chair ; Fold up the garments she used to " wear ; Let down the curtain and close the door She will need the garish light no more; For the task assigned her under the sun, Is finished now and the guerdon won. Tenderly kiss her-put out the light Leave her alone-she's with God to night." dJIIIIIIIIIlllllllimilllllllllUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIillllJ I LOCAL AND PERSONAL ? iiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiirT LOVE ONE-LOVE ALL ?

Her old mother survived her, and after the funeral she said sadly, "I always knew we'd never raise that girl." If you owe us a farthing -come in and pay us.

The marnagr? of the colored couple, George Johnson and America Harris, in the Opera House on Thursday even ing last, was quite an event-and the house was crowded with the best peo ple of the town. George is a good old negro-a kind of white man's pet-and many valuable presents were given him and his bride. Over in Saluda, the Sentinel tells us, .that : "The offices of Clerk of Court and Sheriff will no longer be furnish ed with lights, fuel and stationery ny the county.

Wt understand that the peach crop in the Ridge section will be almost a total failure. But the farmers in that Vicinity have another very fine money crop in asparagus and the acreage in this has increased consideraoly this year, but it requires very heavy fer tilization to make this crop a success, as much as a thousand pounds of fer tilizer being needed to the acre. Wre hope the Black Diamond railr will be as certain a thing as its prom 1 ters claim. A great need of Soul Carolina, now, as 60 years ago, is a short I'ne to the west; and what it needs ouch more now than it did then is the .neap coal that this road would fur nish. Our ports will take on new life if the Black Diamond is built, for it will develop a vast export trade from them which will soon bring impnrts also. We are nearer to the west than New York or Baltimore and its ex porting and importing business would enrich all the South Atlantic ports.

On Thuresday and Friday nights of this week Edison's Projectoscope and Comedy Company will give charming entertainments in the Opera House.

The principal feature UUU11931UU, iu<;, nie pruceeus ui .\ ?n<:n will go towards equipping tbe baseball team. We trust that all friends of the Institute will give their presence to this entertainment. He Has Our Sympathy. We deeply regret to hear that our old friend Dr. Thos. E. Jennings, of ilodoc-our friend from the warm and bright and sunshiny days of young manhood to old age-to the cheerless, chilly, gloomy days of the seer and the yellow leaf-is now encompassed with grief, and hts heart is bowed down in sorrow. We learn that his son, now in Georgia, some time since, became en gaged in a quarrel with another man and it was this son's'misfortune to kill his opponent. And now this beloved son of his aged old father, is soon to be put on trial for murder. But we don't believe it is possible for that boy -that son of Dr. Tom Jennings-the high-toned, the honorable, the warm hearted old Tom Jennings-to commit murder. For of course his father's manly, noble principles were instilled into bim from his cradle up; and it is now simply incredible for that sen to go so far astray as to wantonly take the life of his fellow man. In behalf of son and father, our prayers, and trust, and hope are, that the son may soon retarn to his dear old father a free man, and absolved from the foul charge which now stands Against him A .Flourishing Banking Institu - tion. On the 15th inst., the annual meet"mg of the stockholders of The Fan Bank of Edgefield, S. C., was he jd jn their Bank. In consequence < >f va cancies in the Board of Directo ns, Col. S. B. Mays and Mr. J. L. Cau goman were unanimously elected as directors to perfect the requisite numb er of the directory. Mr. Cashier Caugh man sub mitted his yearly statement, rtnd it was a joy and a kind of purse-proud grati ?cation to the stockholders, because it enabled the said stockholders to de clare a dividend of 12}? per cent, on their stosk. Of this amount they ap propriated S per cent, to their own holdings in the way of dividends on stock-and then set aside as a healthy "nest egg," $1,000 te surplus account, and to account of undivided profits $1,323.83-making a toial as .surplus of $0,000 "and as undivided profits over' $7,000. To us this is a seeming won derful Bank showing-and makes a share of The Farmers Bank stock more valuable than a gold mine in the Klon dike regions. And this annual state ment is more than highly commenda ble to the financial ability and business management of President Padgett, and the other officers of ^he Bank, and its able Board of Directors.

REPORT ? OF THE GRAND JURY. I Td his Hon ior, R. C. Watts, Presi j ding Jud ge : f Having- disposed of all the bills handed up by the Solicitor, we have by commit tee visited the jail, pau pers, bocae aud the county chain ?gang. Tbs- jafi is neatly kept, but is needing rfc pairs ; most of the lights in the windows are out; the jailor proposes fco put them in if the icouDty wrll furnish the material; wiudowe ia the upper story are in secure, and should be attended to at <)Dce; tho walls of the jail yard and. fencing aro about to fall down from decay. We find the roof of fhe> court house needing repairs. We recommend that all necessary repairs be made as soon as ,oracti '?able. As usual, complaints without number, come tc us as io the fear ful condition of. the public roads and bridges. For instance, the new bridge over Stevens Creek, near Clarks, is sprung in the mid dle of the stream, caused by a heavy raft, and tho bridge over Horn's Creek, near Republican church, is unsafe, and if not re paired before another freshet it will very probably wash olf. These bridges demand immediate atten tion-, ior the safety of human life. Vie find the finances of the cou Qty in a deplorable -condition; the past indebtedness has already rea< shed the sum of abou t .1)8,000, and all contractors are adding 10 to 30 per cent, on their bids ove r and above the cash value of the services rendered. And we call. special attention to the sup pli 3S burnished the county chain gai ig, Vilich are purchased on the sai ne basis, all claims being dis cov> .nted at an exhorbitant rate. 1 iVe think it a hardship on jurors an- i Wiiuesses, who are compelled to attend this court, to have their ?per diem discounted ai ordinary cia1' tms, as ia being dons.

Information has reached I his jury that the chain gang give en tertainments on . Saturday night and Sunday,passing the hat around for collection. We recommend that the chain gang be not allowed to have communication, with outside parties; and further recomm'eiid that they do more work and ^?s5 play. We have appointed a special committee, consisting of Messrs. Mobley, Adams, Brimson, Botes and Maye, to inspect the books and bonds of county officials between now and the August term. Our committee reports the pau pers' home in fairly good condir tion; there ai? twenty-seven in mates, only three being able to render the steward any assistance. The committee on the chain gang reported thirteen subjects, aC"of them are weil clothed, and from casual observation, are in good health and as we'l provided for as could be expected. But there is a question in the minds of this jury whether or not. the chaiu gang is a b 'heilt to the county as at present managed. We return thanks to your Honor, the Solicitor and other officials of the court for courtesies extended during our stay at this term of the court. Respectful!} submitted, it. B. MAYS, Foreman. EdgefieltlMarch 14...1S&3 &8Bt > The Augusta Chronicle, a few days'back, alluded to one of our Edgefield farmers in rather dis paraging t^rms because he was a corn buye-1 Now. we would just like to know the name of that "well known" man, out of mere curiosity, but. it don't matter much, as, un fortunately, "there are others," and mauv others at that, who ate walking in the unwise footsteps of the Edgefield gentleman alluded to. Here is what the Chronicle says : "The other day several country wagons were loading with sacks of corn in front of a feed store on Broad street, and tho sight was so uncanny that we stepped up to the driver of one of tho mule teams and asked him the name of the owner. They came from Edgefield coun ty, and there is not a better known name in Sou?h Carolina than that of the man whose wagons were be ing loaded with corn in Augusta to be hauled co ti e farm. How eau our farmers ever expect to be pros perous when they raise four cent, cotton and buy corn to feed their mules? "The Southern farmer will never be independent until he learns to produce the necessities of life on the farm, and grow cotton as a sur plus crop. The farmer with his crib full of corn, his loft full of hay and ^fodder, his smokehouse full of meat, cows supplying milk and butter, a mule colt coming on to take the Dlace of the old mule, and everything, that is needed to feed man and beaut on the farm, can be independent of the ups and downs of the cotton market. He can sell his cotton or hold it, just as seems to him nest. But the farmer who raises nothing but cot ton, must hurry it to market and sell when everything is crowded and prices are lowest, because he is obliged to have the money tc niset his notes with the factor and to buy bread and meal for the peo ple and corn and hay for I be mulet ou the farm. Now, isn't that farm ing with a vengeance?" J. R. Hill, Packsville, S. C. writes : I have used Dr. M. A.
