Ederefield Advertiser WEDNESDAY, MAY 10. AT KEST - "OVER THE RIVER." Died, on Tuesday evening last, at Trenton, in the home of the Colgan brothers and sisters, who had long so devotedly and so pa tiently cared for him, Mr. William H. Burrell, in the 78th year of his age. And in his death passeth away the ninety-ninth man of the one hundred brave and noble soldier boys who followed the gallant Capt. Preston Brooks to Mexico and one who, whilst in the Con federate army, was likewise true and faithful to the end! He was true to his country ! Kind and good and true to his friends! And now, "after life's fitful fever," he ?leeps well ! God rest his soul ! "Just as I am, without one plea, But that Thy blood was shed for me, And that Thou bidd'st me come to Thee, O Lamb of God ! I come, I come !" .?Jinn iiiiiiiniiiiiiitiiiiiiiifittiiniiuififtiiiiiitifiini^ I LOCAL AND PERSONAL. ? ^XIHII iniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiifiiiiiiBiiiiiiiiiiifiitiimiirimr? DON'T KICK. "Pake things as they come-they'll be right in the end; If you are hungry, rich, beggar or sick, You'll be wasting your valuable time If you use it in making a kick." Don't worry. ? Our Editor is still absent. And fur ther this deponenfrsayeth not. ' Don't carry the whole world on your shoulders. Trost the Eternal. He who lives only to himself confers a benefit on the world when he dies. Think only healthful thoughts. "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." "We should try to be pleasant. Most of us can be disagreeable without try ing. Quite a number of old Confeds left yesterday noon for the grand re-union in Charleston this week. And we know a big time awaits them. Our old fellow-citizen Mr. W. E. Dobey, who has been quite sick for two or three weeks, is now much better and we expect to see him out on our streets again very soon, as Jolly and jovial as ever. The Edgefleld County Interdenomi national Convention will meet with Harmony Church on the 18th and 19th of May inst., at which time and place the Sunday-school folks will have a rousing good time. Capt. J. K. Tompkins sod Miss Effie Allen took in the dedication of tbe --Johnston Institute building on Sunday last, "snor say "they had ? pleasant and delightful time. When in want of any kind of a book, or p nodical, or newspaper, or any thing in that line, call on or write to1 Mr. Sam. H. Manget, at Trenton-the best all ronnd good fellow in the world -and if he fail? to give you satisfac tion, we will know you are a pretty hard old kicker, and can't be pleased. See new card elsewhere in this issue. The Executive Board of the Edge field Baptist Association, have em ployed Mr. B. D. Tames as colporteur for the summer months, beginning 1st June, 1899. Any person having a horse to let, either broken or unbroken, for his ose will'please apply to Rev. P. P. Blalock, and a reasonable price will be paid for same. The tobacco farmers around Trenton are very busy now, every favorable season, "settin' out" tobacco plants. And they are doing their work well as the Trenton farmers ak ays do and strictly in accord with instruc tions as per Wagstaff, the Gov. Till man tobacco expert. And so far the Trenton tobacco crop prospect is quite flattering. Mr. Frank Fair returned home a few days since, after a pleasant visit to An derson-and the trip seems to have cheered him up powerfully-and he's all sunshiny smiles and love-lit salu tations now-and sometimes he sings "Love is calling, and hearts must heed Sweet is the pathway where Love doth lead." And we are not a betting man, but we will go a set up at the "Luray" that the next time Frank goes to Anderson, he'll not come home alone. You take the bet? The trees-the beautiful trees-now adorning Main Street, Norris Avenue and Butler Street, and on other streets in town-are just lovely, and giveth delight to all who pass thereunder these hot sultry days. And a certain old citizen we wot of, who was mainly instrumental in having those trees placed out, is very proud of them; and in his heart is glad that the Good Lord has permitted him to linger wita the people of his much-loved old town un til his little work of other days has now become a joy and a pleasure-a public benefit as it were-to all- our people. Mrs. Mary Jennings, a daughter of old Mr. Ebeneezer Chamberlain, a grand old gentleman, honored and loved, of "ye olden time," and relict of the late Mr. Jas. H. Jennings, brother of Drs. Wm. H., Jos. H. and Thos. Jen nings, is now over in our Northern su burbs, on a short visit to her grand daughter, Mrs. Charlie Brunson, at "Sunbeam Villa," the beautiful and delightful residence and farm of Mr D. B. Hollingsworth. And we were glad to see her-to see her looking so bright and ^cheerful, and seemingly hopeful. We will not say hopeful of what and why, because it is much be yond the ken of man to divine the hopes or aspirations of a spry little widow, even though somewhat along in years. Barney Evans in Cuba. A letter received by a fri from Maj. Barnard B. Evans Dishes the information that I in the office of the director of department of? posts ot Ci money order division. He is gr ly pleased with Cuba and says '. vana is crowded with Amerio hunting for jobs. So says the lumbia Record. Two Beautiful New Dwelling* The one being erected for i\ R. S. Anderson on Main street, Mr. Jas. Paul, and the other Norris Avenue for Mr. Beaureg Timmons, by Messrs. Timmon Wright, builders. These i ywellings are now going up rapi -each will be commodious i handsome, and in their respect localities, will be quite an addit to the town. And there "are othe that will go up ere long. Let I good work move on. Capt. J. C. Brooks. Late yesterday evening we w very sorry, to learn-by telegr; from Columbia-that our dear < friend-for so many years wa and true old friend-Capt. Jas. Brooks, was slowly sinking-pea fully, quietly, sweetly sinking sleep in death ! But "pustain and soothed by an unfalteri trust"-by the pure, gentle Chr tian life he has always led-at t last, thank God, he can approa i the grave "Like one who wraps the drapery his couch About him, and lies down to pleas* dreams." A Popular Young Dentist. See dental card of our wort young friend Dr. Geo. T. Sharpt in another column. He is ni fully fitted up with a comph line of all the latest and beBt a: finest dental instruments to be c tained, and handsome and coi fortable dental chairs with all t newest attachments, and locat in a beautiful office, beautiful furnished, where he is prepared do all kinds of work in dental si gery thoroughly, well and satisfa torily. Dr. Sharpton-a you: man of solid worth and rr.orit, ai a Christian gentleman-is alrea< noted in his profession, and as tl years pass on we predict for hi high rank and proud success in h loved profession. Give him a trii and forever after you will cling him. No Good. Of what use are they where thi are? The loose rocks on our sid walks and streets in town, and ( our highways throughout the cou: ty. The 6aid loose rocks appear have a sacred right to encumb our sidewalks, our streets, 01 roadways. They cause pedestriai to stump their toes and say ug] words-horses to stumble and fa -vehicles are frequently broke by them, and those riding in v hieles are often necessarily jerke and jolted and jostled by these usi less and abominable street an road nuisances. It ought to t somebody's duty to gather thei u>>, and hide them away in son hole or ditch, where they woul never be resurrected. Whose dut is it-in town and in country? Bi it matters not, SJ the rocks are ri moved, and the people are save from annoyance. Think about i somebody-and move the usele* loose rocks from the streets an thoroughfares. Next Week is Merry Makeri Week in Augusta. Our merry-hearted and fundos ing people-and most of us ai built that way-should remembe that Merry Makers' Week in Ai gusta commences on Monday nex the 15th, and will continu throughout the week, and until 1 o'clock Saturday night, the 20tl without abatement, and with ne^ and varied, and brilliant and side splitting amusements each an every day. And every night dui ing the festal week will be give the famous and world-renowne Paine's Fire Works, represenrin the Falls of Niagara, with the moe brilliant and wonderful sceim effect. Five bands of music wil be on the streets all the while. An high-class artists and acrobats wil be disporting on the streets th live-long day. And the flora parade, and the military and bicy cle parade, and hundreds of peopl' in grand costuries, will enlivei the joys ?nd pleasures of Augusta' gala week. A.nd everything free all sorts of entertainments galore and $10,000 in free amusements And the lowest railroad rates eve given. And therefore lets all go aud take in Augusta's gala week and once more nave a rollicking high-cock-a-lorum, old fashionec afore the war time. Tickets for this occasion will bc put on sale on Sunday, the 14tb and will be good uutil Sunday, th< -21st. The fare for the round tri] will be $1.05. The Edgefield Hussar*. At a regular meeting of this company on Saturday last, al Gary's Griffin grove, Capt. N. G, Evans was unanimously re-elected captain. And H. L. Bunch wae elected first lieutenant; Johu M, Mays, second lieutenant; Jas. M. Mobley, third lieutenant, and J. P. Sullivan, first sergeant. Some thirt)-odd members were enrolled, much enthusiasm prevailed, and it is more than probable that at the next drill meeting forty-five or fifty men will be in ranks, as the captain and other officers and men of the company all seem fired with a fixed determination to build the old company np to its former status and respectability. This they can, aud we hope will do, for the.gallaut Edgefield Huzzars, for more than half a century has been the pride of all Edgetiold. And Evans and Bunch and Mays and Mobley, and the dai>hing and gal lant men now composing the rank and file of this long honored old ompaDy, should bestir themselves to uphold and maintain the high standard and proud record of the We are sole agents for the Bay St Shoe and Leather Co.

To you, Dr. TomJernings, and to your son Tom, we extend our heartiest congratulations, and re I joice with you both, in the prompt acquittal of the latter in his re cent trouble at Mt. Vernon, Ga. And, in reference to said trouble, it ie with much gratification we [ copy vs follows from the Augusta Herald, of the 6th : "Maj. W. T. Gary returned last night from Mt. Vernon, Montgom ery county, where he has been de fending Thomas Jennings, indict ed for murder, for the killing of Charles Darley. Maj. Gary handled the case, which was a difficult one, in his usual masterly manner, and acquitted the accused. He has been highly complimented on the I success he secured from this case. [Jennings used to live in Edgefield. He located at Mt. Vernon. He be came engaged in a difficulty with Darley, knives were used and Dar ley was cut to death. Jennings in his trouble, turned to Maj. Gary to defend him. Jennings is grate ful beyond expression to Major Gary." And it "does us proud" to have an opportunity to chronicle the above additional testimonial to the already high and wide reputation Maj. Gary now enjoys as a broad gage jurist of eminent ability, and a criminal pleader well-nigh with out a peer. Continued good luck to you, Major-and remember ever that we Edgefield folks-your friends of other days-now and always feel very proud of you and the well merited honors you have so nobly won.
