Instead o( using the platform scales that are usually mounted on wheels, Mr. Cheatham will use the old style steelyard, the bale of cotton being raised by means of a lever. It wi il be im?* 'Bi ble foran error to occur if the urns indicated by th*;. weigh1 the beam are correctly read, i scales should givtj entire sfaction, even to the mosteo al Lus individual. Rev. .?".in Laue will sail for China on October the 1st to take up the work for which he has for years felt that he was called lo perform. Edgefield has been greaU ly honored in having two rapre-; seutatives, Miss June Nicholson aud Rev. John Lake, upon the foreign field. Two of Mr. Lake's sisters, Misses Sophie and Claray have also applied to the Foreign Missionary Board to be appoinU-d as missionaries.

The con trac tr for' finishing the basement so that, it can be utilized has boen, awarded to Mr. C W. Spencer, *vho erected the college buildiug. It is a well merited compliment to Mr. Spen cer to give him this second-con tract, being proof positive that he gave entire satisfaction on the first one. The basement is to be entirely completed by, October 1st. Then the college building will be practically four iitories high. Mr. Grice Returns It has become proverbial that when a person once drinks Edge field's "Park" water they are con strained, as if by magic, to remain, in Edgefield, or caused to return if they for a time take up their abode elsewhere. The "Park" water theory has been exempli fied in the case of Mr. D. T. Grice and family. Some months ago Mr. Grice moved to Sharon, Ga., and engaged in the hotel and livery business. Despite the be witching charms of Georgia he has been constrained to come back to "his own, his native land". He with his family will occupy the old Methodist parsonage which has been mad new without aud within. Mr. Grice will conducta boarding house, and in c.mnectioi: therewith will run a livery busi ness. Mr. Grice is being cordially welcomed by his host of friends. "TEETHINA" as its name implies, Is used by by every mother wise, To 6tay convulsion that come on. When teething time begins to dawn.
