Lynch & Co JLittlo Annie Laurie Fielding. On Sunday morning latt sweet little Annie Lauri?, th? three year old daughter, ot Mr. J. B. Pick ling, joined ber mother who pre ceded her to the ppiritjland sever al nonths r.go. God plucked the flower in the spring time of life before it was blighted by the sins of earth. The remains were car ried to PregualPfi, S. C., Sun lay afternoon for interment. Kim Over by Cars. On Wednesday afternoon last Frank Thomas, colored, one of the quarry hauds, was fatally hurt by a car loaded with rocks, while at tempting to pass under it fioni one side of the track to the ether. One of his 1 'ge was caught by the wheels and was so badly lac erated that he died from the ef fects of the accident. Before his death he stated that he had no business under the car aid that his getting hurt was due to hi3 own reckless act, completely exon erating the railroad. Every pre caution possible is exerc'sed to prevent accidents, yet so hazard ous is the work at the quarry that it is a great wonder that many of the workmen are not killed. A Sober Barber. Sober barbers are as scarce as gold dollars but, the Lord be thanked, the long suffering peo ple of Edgefield are to have one after being solely ttied for many mouths with Burne barbers who would mako better tapsters for breweries or distilleries than ton sorial artists. Mr. W. A, Hamil ton, of Graniteville, bas rented the Panor Barber Shop from .Mr. John A. Weir, which has been leased for some months by a colored bar ber. We believe that Mr. Hamil ton will keep a fir6t class shop, giving satisfactory service. He is a white man with a family and a total abstainer from intoxicants. Therefore, while being shaved by bim you will not be forced to in hale the fumes or exudations of a beer keg or whiskey barrel. Give Mr. Hamilton your patronage. He deserves it. Closing Days of Court. At the hour of going to press last week Tom Johnson, indicted for murder, was being tried, which trial resulted in his acquittal. At torney General Gunter represented the State and J. Wm. Thurmond, Esq., the defendant. Both of these gentlemen made able argu ments. That of Mr. Thurmond has elicited much favorable comment. The State vs. Elbert Mathis, charged with assault and battery with intent to kill, defendant found guilty and sentenced to pay a iiue of $75.00 or serve on tLe county chain gang for six mouths. TLe fine wiil probably 1>J paid. Solicitor Thurmond represented the State and S. M. Smith, Esq., the defendant: The case of the State vs. Belle Minis, colored, disposing of crop under lien, resulted in an acquit tal. Solicitor Thurmond, assisted by N. G. Evans, Esq., appeared for the State and Esqs. S. M. Smith and S. McG. Simpkins for the defense. John Burt indicted for assault and battery with intent lu kill, was found guilty of assault and battery aud tined .$10 OG or thirty days on chain gang-line was paid. Solicitor Thurmond prose cuted the case and B. K. Nichol son, Esq , represented the defend ant. In the case of the State vs. George Crawford, George Craw ft.rd, Jr., Jim and Whit Crawford, indicted for murder, ali were ac quitted except Whit Crawford who was found guilty of man slaughter and recommended to the mercy of the court, later a new trial was granted. Death of Miss Lizzie Kubanks. Ou last Sunday at noon Miss Lizzie Eul'anks, one of the true, the just, the faithful, departed this life and went home to Ihe land ot everlasting peace and righteousness, where the light is not that of thc pun, moon, nor stars, but where Jesus is the light. There all cherished hopeB are granted, all broken hearts healed, all pains cease and all ambitions fulfilled. May wi all meet her there! When there is so much dearth of sincere, substantial Christiani ty it seems sad that any of these should be taker., but God knows best, aud bis ways are noi as our ways. No daughter of Edgefield's soil liad more persistently and suc cessfully struggled amid the fierce conflict of life than did Miss Liz zie Eubanks. From her child hood, against miny odds, she was a student, and by her own unaided efforts, bad become one of the most efficient and successful teachers in Edgefield county. She had been teaching for the j.as* three years near Bradley, but for the past two sessions had been in terrupted in her work by severe illness. So much did Mr. and Mrs. Cliukscales, with whom she boarded, value her services that they urged her to return this 6uni merand resume the instruction of their children. This she did and il was there that a reiaps^ from her recent illness occurred, She was brought home to Edgefield, aud lived only about a week. Miss Lizzie never lost an opportunity of impioving her opportunities for mind culture and her energy and ambition were unfailing and un ceasing, her clief aim to be up right and useful. Who more justly than she could receive the fulfillment of the promise, (,Be thou faithful milo death, and I will give them a crown of life," Mi?s Lizzie was ?beut thirty live years )f age. and a member of the Baptist church at Edgefield. lier remain* were interred at Antioch ' burch, ne.tr l^r father's hftmo, on Monday, her pastor, Rev.

Frank Fair, who bas developed into a prominent business mau of Atlan ta, has been spending a week in Edgefield with the home folks. Frank's friends-and everybody in Edgefield is his friend-always give him a royal welcome. His visit is entirely too short. He shou'd strike for a longer va cation. The large business of Messers. Ramney & Jones is steadily 01, the increase. They have purchased the lot immediately in rear of 'heir store from Capt. J. .\.

The Horticultural Convention. Ever)' man who owns a gardon or an orchard should have attend ed this gathering of experts and experienced fruir and vegetable growers. We regret that while it wes the writer's pleasure to attend, luck of space precludes the possi bility of a full account of its pro ceedings. Experts, who have made a scientific and experiment al study of fruit, nurserymen ot large experience, and practical, successful fruit, growers were there, all contributing of their- store of information to the edification of those assembled. Col. Ii. J!. Wat son, the pioneer fruit grower of the ?Ridge, stated that he knew of one orchard of four acres that would net $400 and another ot' 10 acres that would net its owner 1 GOO this year. lie also stated that in bis expelience of thirty two years he had only two total failures. This is proof positive that fruit growing for the market is practi cable and profitable. No other crop will pay so well. It was urged that greater quantities ol' small fruits, such as grapes and straw berries, be grown. Upon the whole this was a very interesting and profitable convention. Passing ol' the Kx-SIaves The faithful and honest cx slaves, commonly known as cid family negroes, are rapidly pass ing away. These landmarks of the ante-bellum days will all soon be gone and they shall be missed. His meet and prop-r that notice should ba taken ol' the death of some of these faithful servants, who, while the lathers and sons were on the far away balli'.- ti dds, shielded by day and by ii i jr Li t tho mothers and daughters at home from all harm. Ail the more praiseworthy is this faithfulness when if is remembered that ulti mate victory for Hie Southern ?rms would have meant their per petual enslavement. What wun der is th'-re theil that every South ern heart wells up with emotions of respe ct an admiration fur thc few that remain among us? Not only were they faithful in the irv ing tim s of war but during the yea. s fiat have followed they have made good citizens. Rarely, ii' ev er, can any fr iel uh between the races be traced io these older heads. They always counsel against those things that conduce thereto, Oh last Thursday Tartar Shep hard, commonly greeted as "Uncle Tart," who nursed 0.
