Union county-a certain section of ir, at least-ought now to be an ideal place for chicken raising. A citizen of that county killed eleven hawks in one d*y last week, and killed still another th* following day. We know ot several hawk-infested sections of Edge field county that would like to en gage the services of this marksmau ifor a few houri.

A, man in South Haven, Kansas, had a grievance against an editor and consulted a lawyer to find out the best way to break up the paper. The lawyer told him the surest way would be to buy the paper and run it himself for a few months. The great variety and profusion of chrysanthemums, the queen of the gardens in autiimn, that are blooming make many of the yards in our town very beautiful. Ind'ed iu some of them, particularly on Columbia street, the yards seem to be heaped aud banked with; multicolored chrysanthemums.

Sheriff Ouzts appeared to be the youngest p^rsou in the tremendous crowd that gathered about the court house steps on Monday to witness the public sales.

Chilla and fe\'erare prevalent in some portions of the county where they were never known before. It is probably due to the low water in the creeks and branches. lu some places the bedB of large creeks are as dry,as hill tops, the water famine being ?ore serious than last year. Can it be that the "bowek of the earth" are dry, too? Aiken is boring another artesian well and has already gone 715 feet without striking water. We have been requested by Prof. Lawrence E.

Long brought a number of cans of tomatoes and peaches to town to sell on Saturday. These tomatoes and peaches were selected from those grown in Mr. Long's garden and orchard, aud'carefully canned with his own hands, consequently there is nothing on the market that is superior to them. The out put of his canning factory will sell like "hot cakes" among bis Edgefield patious. Our friend Sam Taylor is in dire distress because of the water famiue. |He says that for some time he has been forced to go out to Log creek to immerse himself, but as winter is coming on ?.ud ude frost am on de punkin" he finds it rather cold. He will in future suffer from frost bite or make his ablutions few and far between. And believing thal cleanliness is uext lo godliness he does not know what to do about it.

" HQ PIT UTE" -That's what a prominent druggist said of Scott's Emulsion a short tim? ago. As a rule we don't use or refer to testimonials in addressing the public, but the above remark and similar expressions are made so often in connec tion with Scott's Emulsion that they are worthy .of occasional note. From infancy to old age Scott's Emulsion offers a reliable means of remedying im proper and weak develop ment, restoring lo?t flesh and vitality, and repairing waste. The action of Scott's Emulsion is no more of a secret than the composition of the Emul sion itself. What it does it does through nourish ment-the kind of nourish ment that cannot be ob tained in ordinary food. No system is too weak or delict " to retain Scott's Emulsion and gather goo(J from it.

McCullough, at his home in the Edgefield mill village. He had passed the three-score mile posl in his earthly pilgrim age. Mr. McCullough was among the firet to volun teer bis services to go forth and battle against the foes of the Kurth in the early six ties. He was at first a member of Company C 1st S. C. ?egiment, which reported to Charleston for duty. Later he returned home and re-enlisted in old Company!) 14th South Carolina and rendered valuable services during the entire war. The interment of this gallant old veteran was held at Stevens Creek church on Wednesday. The Master's Sales. One needs no further evidence than the price that was paid for laud that was sold at public sale cu Monday to establish the fact that country real estate is io great demand. The Bush Iract located in the Long Branch section, coutaioing J.41 acr< s. was purchased by Mrs4 Mittie L. Johnson for ?pO?o. The house and lot of six acres, belonging to th > Caughman estate, and located in the town .^of Edge field, wail bid in by Mrs, Mattie Caughman for $4300. The lot of ono acre which was ftlso a part o? this estate was pur chased bv Col. jj. Ii. Tillman for $200. The Jot in tho town of Johnston belonging lo Mrs. Elia E. Waters, containing o: e and one-quarter acres, was pu ichased by Mr. Wil liam Toney for #505. The sale of tho Owdom land wa j called oft". A Rumor Set at Rest. It having been reported that Col. Baiiey was running a store at the colWge, supplying the stu dents with whatever they might U'ied in competition wi!h the mei? chants of the town, we interviewed Col.-Bailcy (oncoming said report. He talked with us freely and fully. The rumor is false. Ever since the institution lias been in Edgefield Col. Bailey has given one of the boys permission to carry for salo amoDg tho students certaiu arti-. cle6 that are daily uaed, such fts matches, ink, pencil?, tablets, etc. The cadet who had this permission last year made $1S, not one cent of which prent to tho college or Col. Bailey. A great many institutions allow certain necessities to be sold on the premises io order to facilitate the school work. If certain articles that are constantly used could not be had at the college President Bailey would be asked to grant leave of absence in order that the students may go up town to get this or that little thing. The boarders being restricted to the campus it facilitates the work greatly to havo certain L.ejds supplied right in the college build ing. This is why permission to sell these necessities was grafted to a cadet. Land for Sale. The heirs of W. S. Doolittle, deceas ed, will offer for-sale at public outcry to the highest bidder, at .Mgefieltf t'i H., 8, C" on salesday in December 1905, the tract of land belonging to the estate ol' said deceased, being 154 acres, more or less, adjoining lauds of Win chester McDaniel, Eugene Thurmond and others.
