Some days ago-rather, so.m
nights ago-in the silvery light
of a smiling moou, Judge Bruuson
ui i ted ''Look-down" John Thom
as and Alice Williams-both col
ored-in the bonds of wedlock.
The writer met the thrice-made
groom the next day, and knowing
that he was muchly married, we
asked John how many wives he
had, whereupon he replied: "lue
been married free times. My fust
wife dide, an' my second wife tuck
en got her anuddt r fran, so I got
me anudder woman." Clearly a
case of tit for tat. TbuB it goefe in
some circles of colored society.
An effort will be made to induce
the merchants to close their stores
this year at 6:30 inftead nf 7
o'clock, beginning May the' 1st.
The request is a reasonable
one and it is to be hoped that the
merchants will grant lt unani
mously. No one will Jose anything,
for all shopping can be easily
done before that hour. lu the
cities and in many small towns
the merchants close at six o'clock
duriug the long, hot, dull days of
summer. If the clerks are shewn
some consideration they will ren
der more satisfactory service, and
the proprietors will gain rather
than lose by the, 6:30 closing. Let
the merchants consider the matter
well before the petition or request
is circu' ated, which we u.n-1 erat and
will be done at an early day. .
Prof. G. I. ^uug'ha8 lost a sec
ond tarn by fire. About eifiht
o'clock on Friday night auother
barn wap bumed on his home
place. The building contained
about 100 bushels . of corn, 100
bushels ai cotton seed, two and
one-half tons of guano, besides
other things. Prof. Long'? loss is
over $400. He o&rried a small
amount of insurance, but we do
not know how much. If it is sus
pected that this is the work of au
incendiary, the governor should
i be requested to oit>r a suitable
reward. A person who will de
liberately apply the match to a j
building of any kind is an enemy
to society and should be put be
hind the bars or punished more
severely, according to the gravity
of the crime.

In spite of the had crop year
and unfavorable conditions for
business last year,, the people of

ments were published in March
ot last year amounted to $297,660.
37, while at the same time this
year they were $293,963.74. It
should be noted also that the
Edgefiold banks have loaned about

Date for Re-union Fixed.
Gen. Thomas W. Camile spent
Saturday iu Columbia, and after
a conference with the. committee
of citizens appointed to look after
all matters pertaining to the Con
federate reunion, announced that
Ihe reunion will be held on May
7,8and9ib.
lu an interview while iu the
capital city, Gen. Carwile said:
"We .are going to have a grand re
uniou this year, and I believe,
there will be a larger number of
veterans present than ever before.
The' impression has gotten out
that we are going to defray the
transportation of certain veterans
to this reunion a yd I have even
been appealed to secure transpor
tation for some of the 'boya'.to .the
general reunion at Richmond.
There is no fund at "our disposal
for paying railroad fare for these
old soldiers and.-we' ean not, of
course, consider their applications.
"If we had a fund for defraying
the railroad expenses of needy
veterans the chances aro that it
would be taken advantage of by
those who are really able to bear
their own expenses."
Insure your cotton, corn and
other crops with the Carolina
Hail Insurance Company. It has
proven satisfactory to all hereto
fore. See agent at Edgefield on
