Mr. Milton Palmer, a young man who hailed fiom Augusta, was killed near Trenton by a Southern train on Thursday last. ?He was sitting upon Ihe end of a cross-tie, and being under the influence of liquor it is presumed .that he was asleep aud did not hear the train. If this were the case hif death like thousauds of )thers was du" to liquor drinking. Tho many frienas of Mr. A. F. Broadwater were glad to see him in town '?U Wednesday last. Owing to prolonged sickness be had not beeu able to come to Edgefield before siuce ' 'he early part of December last. We trust that after the rigorous winter weather ?hall have passed that he will be able to come in weekly as has been his custom for roany years. At irregular intervals through out two days and nights the sleet fell, sometimes gently and some times pelting the earth iu great fury. Never before during the' years over which our observation extends have we aeon Buch a thick, heavy, solid coat of ice upon the ground. The several incheiof ice contained little or no snow. While it has retarded, in fact almost paralyzed, business, it will probably bo of benefit, to the grain and will add millions of gallons to the water supply which is yet many inches short. Letter to E H, Folk Edgpfield, S. C, Dear Sir; If you paint two houses alike with two different paiuts, and one takes twice as much paint-as the other, you know which paint to buy after that-so far as go-far goes-don't you? One of those paiuts is Devoe; the other is any avtrage paint. The worst was worse than that; the bttter are not much better j no other paint than Devoe is any where pear Devoe in go-far. Devoe ie go further; the rest arego-shott go-middling and go-three-quarters Yours truly F. W. DEVOE ? Co The Edgefield Mercantile Co. ?20. The many friends of Mrs. Mary Sullivan, the mother ot Mrs. J. W. Peak, hiive been deeply pained to know that she fell on Saturday last and fractured her hip. Many wishes are tintertaiued for ber complete restoration to her usual strength and vigor. Many of Edgefield's ctizen s have labored faithfully to defeat Calhoun county but those who ap peared before the senate and House committee last week, deal ing the final and fatal blow to ihe new county were Hou. J. Wm. Thurmond, 0. Sheppard, Esq., S. McG. Simkins, Esq., Hon. W. A. Strom, Mr. C. C. Fuller. Hon. Thos. H. Rainsford, and A. S. Tompkins, Esq. The following items are from the Greenville correspondence to the News and Courier: Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Bates en tertained on Wednesday evening at whist, complimentary to Judge Ernest G >ry. The occasion was marked by that charming hospi tality which characterizes all of Mr and Mrs Bates' entertainments. On Saturday evening Miss An nie Marshall entertained a num ber of guests at cards, the occa sion being a pretty compliment to Mrs. B. E. Nicholson and Miss Rhett Sheppard, of Edgefield,who are the guests of Mrs. James H. ..J ax wei I. Four tables of players enjoyed bridge and late in the evening a delicious supper was served. The "City Beautiful" young ladies have caused evergreens, roses and other flowers to be planted in the enclosures around the public well and monument. Instead of being barren wastes, or being covered with weeds, these .-quares will next spring and sum mer present a very attractive ap pearance. Would that these youug ladies were endowed with hypnot ic powers to the same degree as was the far-famed Mrs. Chad wick. Probably they could cause the town council to set out shade trees along the main thorough fare* of our town. Senator Brice in his speech urging the passage of his dispen sary measure said that the hordes of negroes around dispensaries on Saturday afternoons were like "a crowd of carrion crows around a carcass." They may hil be black crows that swarm around the dis pensaries in sonar- places but there a-e many white crows iii Edg<-> ^ld who drii.k their share. The major portion of the $40,000, worth of liquor sold in Edgefield last year waB consumed by white people and the major portion of the latter were members (nomi nally, at least) of Baptist, Metho dist, Presbyterian and Episcopal churches. Shame on..them! Tb.9 New York Racket Store is the place to spcure Baigains in Winter Underwear, Blankete, La dies' and Misses' Cloaks and all Winter Clothing.

May's custom ers aud friends could not avail themselves of the unprecedented b irgains that be offered during his special sale of ten days, so he has decided to extend the time ten days longer.

The Edgefield Mercantile Com pany has added a new department to its already very large business. Mr. A. A. Glover who is the popu lar and efficient manager of the vehicle, furniture and house-fur ui8hing department on the second floor ?B now displaying some very beautiful wall paper in hundred* of uniquo sud very attractive de signs.

Ca!! upon Mr. Glover at the store of the Edgefield Mercantile Compa ny. He will take pleasure in show ing you his large assortment of wal i paper. Your eu tire house can be renewed and rende.ed brighter and more attractive at a very small outlay. On Friday last upon his return from Columbia, where he aided very materially in the fight against Calhoun county, Hon. W. A, Strom called at our office and gave us a very interesting account of how bravely the friends of old Edgefield battled for her rights and interests, also gave us au ac count of the doings of the Cotton Growers Convention, which be at tended iu New Orleans as the representative of the farmers of Edgefield oounty. Mr, Strom says that he has never seen a more de termined set of men thau were those who composed that conven tion. He is confident that the de liberations of that b}dy pf thor ough going, business mei will ac complish mueh good for the agri cultural interests of the south. That the acreage is to be reduced is already showu by the light pur chase of guano. Mr. Strom feels that the people are getting to gether and will sfcaud together in this crisis as uever before. He will make'his official report at tbf next meeting of the farmers, and citizens generally, which will be held in the court housa on Mon day next, Februnry the 13th. W. H. Nicholson, Esq., after a very careful survey of (he county. assisted by Mr, J. H. Courtney of. Trenton, found the area to b? 644 square miles. Ono of the large front windows of the store of W. E. Lynch & Co., is filled with base ball parapher1 nalia, such a? mits, masks, balls land bats. We know that it makes the average school boy's "mouth water" to stand before this win dow aud gaze upon those things which are of far greater concern to him than the multip'ication table or a proposition in geometry. Boys, go to Lynch's for your base ball goods. Rev. L. A. Cooper, the beloved pastor of the Baptist church at Johnston, was the guest of Prear dent F. N. IC.

Li mon died at his home in our town. Ho was pick about ten dayn, his illness resulting from exuonue during the very severe weather vf two weeks ago. His condition was not considered pre carious until a day or two before death came, relieving him of .the excruciating pain which be suifer ed. The deceased came to Edge field from Augusta about, a year ago, and, prior to a few weeks ago, be was employed as salesman by Mr. J. Rubinstein. A wife and two small childi eu are left to mourn bis loss. The interment took place in our village cemetery on Sunday afternoon, Rev. T. P Burgess officiating. The deceased was a member of the order of 0. 0. F. and was buried by the members of the local lodge ol' Odd Fellows. Mrs. Lemon and b> r lit Ile ones will go to Bath tc r?'.nde with her mother.
