Charleston's fire loss during last year was 58 cents per capita, while Augusta's was ? 67 cents and Atlanta's was $4-74-_ Conforming to the cusi??? that has been in vogue for marry years, President Roose velt issued a proclamation, on Saturday last, setting apart Thursday November 26th as a day of national thanksgiving. Pursuant to- the call of Hon. J. C. Sheppard a representa tive body of farmers met on Monday to discuss the labor question and elected Col. W. J. Talbert, Hbn. W. A. Stom and Hon. Thos, H. Rainsford delegates to the con vention to be held in Columbia * During Fair week every blind tiger-and there seems to have been a great number of them-in .Columbia was closed by having an officer stationed at each one of them. If their ^location is definitely known and the tigers can be closed for one week, why not for one month, or one year ? The railroads have agreed to carry dogs as baggage free of charge during the hunting season, one dog being carried for each passenger. For each additional dog the small fee of one-half cent per mile will be charged. Should anyone ob ject to paying this small sum they can tie their . canines to the rear end of the train. By the setting of to-day's sun (November the 4th) nearly all obligations of the farmers throughout the south will have been paid or satis factorily arranged, and it L safe to say that speculators will now allow cotton to ad vance. Cotton never brings what it should when those who fix the price known that farm ers are forced to sell. Although October has pass ed rapidly it seems that time is not the only thing that flies now-a-days. The German rail roads have reached a speed of 100 miles per hour and k<Major Delmar," the famous Ameri can trotter, has lowered all previous .records, making a mile in 1 minute and fifty nine and three-quarter seconds. In this fast age everything flies except the flying ? Machines. Augusta is rushing to com pletion the arrangements for entertaining the Confederate veterans . who will meet in their- annual reunion in the city on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday next. The gates of the city will be thrown wide open and everybody will be bidden to come in and par take of the pleasures of the occasion The railroads have granted an unprecedentedly cheap rate. Edgefield will send a large delegation. The great army of Baptists in South Carolina resolved in convention assembled in Greenville last Detember to raise an. endowment fund of $100.000 by popular subscrip tion for Furman University during the convention year wfrich expires at the holding of the next convention in . Sumter ?early in December. Nearly $70.000 have been se cured in bona fide subscrip ^ tions, but as the payment of these pledges is conditioned upon securing the entire $100. ooo, it is necessary that the remainder be raised, or the enterprise will fail. This in stitution of learning is the pride and hope of everyone who is concerned about the future welfare of the denomi nation and should receive the loyal support which it de serves. While the Edgefield association is not as wealthy as many other associations in the state, yet we trust that the' chm ches in the association will'do their full duty in the matter. Within the short space of thirty days the un dertaking will have succeeded or failed. Which shall it b??, TEMPERANCE ORGANIZA TION NEEDED. The ladies of Johnston through' individual and organ ized effort' are doing .much good in promoting the cause of temperance. What are the ladies of Edgefield doing? Absolutely nothing. Every community-ind certainly every town, where the com bative influence is most need ed-should have aft organiza tion, the object of which should be to create - a senti ment against intemperance of every form. Sucha sentiment cannot be created in ? day , nor*in a year, but by line upon line, precept upon precept, heic a little and there a little the victory can be won. Some become discouraged because immediate and visible results dc not come from efforts put , forth in behalf of temperance. ' Time will reveal that much and lasting good comes from every word and deed of the temperance worker. Contrast, if you will, two generations ; one reared in an atmosphere of sobriety, made pure by the prayers and vigilence of or ganized Christian women, and the other reared where no thought was ? taken for the tender youth, no one to guide and guard him from the pit falls of intemperance- On the one hand, you will have men of robust forms, strong minds and pure lives, while on the other, you will find manyy men whose bodies, minds "and souls have been damned by that monster vice, intem perance. There is need of a temperance organization Sf? Edgefield and the Christian women of all the churches should unite in forming one, as do the good women of John ston.

These old everlasting -Lilis are gor geous to behold in their robes of rus set, golden, brown and reds, of all shades. Our community has been made to realize the uncertainty of life by the death of young G. D. Tillman-so young, just twenty three, and gonel Tis a solemn warning to "be ye also ready,for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of mau cometh." He was buried by the Odd Fellows, of which organization he was a member, in the family burying ground at Clark's Hill on Wednesday, last. To h>s bereaved mother and .friends the heartiest sym pathy^ is extended!9 Another much lamented death of an Edgefield boy, was that of Mr. Drew Nixon Bussey, eldest son of Mr. Pat B?sssy, who died on Friday in Charl eston, and was buried at Red Oak Grove. His mother was a -Mi.-s Nixon of the Clark's Hill Nixon family, and has a large concourse of friends, ai= well as relatives, who sorrow with her in this loss. Clark's Hill is much divided on the new County questions, and 'tis a ques tion, which shall it be.-Calhoun co unty or North Augusta. The latter point seems to be more desirable, but the thought of the taxation necessary to build a suitable court house, etc.. roads, and bridges makes quite a puz zling subject for debate. However, sentiment is much divided ! Among the visitor* of the past week, were Mrs. Dr. Teague,of Graniteville, Mrs. Fannie Simpson of Mountville. Mrs. Sophie Swindel of Augusta. Mes srs Swearingen, and Ben F. Mays of Horn.s Creek section, Mr. II. C Mid dleton of Augusta, and Mr. Thompson of Edgefield. Mrs.Sam B. Mays of Edgefield visi ted her sister Mrs. Eugenia Middleton. Mrs. E. Merriwether has recovered from quite a severe attack of neuralgia Miss Myra Butler has leturued from a visit to Aiken. Miss Caddie Merriwether is visiting Mr. Phillip Markert's family: in the "Fork". Mrs. Charity Taylor has been visi ting rs. R. H. Scott.

We hope to be able rc give, the names of the Club orneen etc., at a later da*;e. Rumor whisper:; that soon or.e ol our fairest maidens will change hei name and home.
