His Dear Old Mother.
?'My dear old mother, who is
now eighty-three years old, thrives
on Electric Bitters," writes W B
Brunson, of Dublin, Ga. She has
taken them for about two years
and enjoys au excellent appetite,
feels strong and sleeps well. That's
the way Electric Bitters affect the
aged, and the same happy results
follow in all cases of female weak
ness and gf<ne?-al debility. Weak,

Coal Being Substituted for Wood.
. Many persons in Edgefield have
aln-ady stoied away their fuel for
winter. Up to this time more.coal
has been shipped to this placp
than ever before during the early
fall. This h probably due to thc
fact that wood is about twenty
?ve per cent higher, and difficult
to obtain even at the advanced
.pricps. Many who have burned
both coal and wood say that at
present prices it is cheaper to
buru coal.
Advice to the Young.
The beBt advice, says tbe York
ville Enquirer, we aro able to give
to any young person, whether that
young person be boy or girl, young
lady or young man, is to acquire
the habit of saving There is no
habit that can exert a greater in
fluence for good over tho life and
character of any young man or
young woman, and no habit is
likely to prove of greater future
benefit. We would not be under
stood as commending miserliness
or niggardliness. Caieful, intelli
gent saving does not imply any
thing of the kind.
Gives Him up Reluctantly.
Mr. J. B. Boyd resigned th*
position of superintendent of the
Edgefield cotton mill in order to
accjpt a similar position at Clin
ton, S. C. He has already loftus
to enter upon his new duties, and
will be joined by Mrs. Boyd and
the two little girls in about a
week. Mr. Boyd has been a very
valuable citizen in this commu
nity, and especially has be made
hie usefulness felt in th? religious
life of the community. Possess
ing very decided talent as a vocal
ist and choir leader, Mr. Boyd
will also be missed in the musical
circles of the community. Edge
field givf.s these good people up
with reluctance bul wishes them
much happiness and prosperity
wherever they go.
Or Edwin Hall Coming'.
Of the lecturers, imperson
ators and humorists wiro tour
the south none are more pop

Besides chaste and refined
humor, his lectuies contain
much of the philanthropy of
life, good moral lessons that
inspire and elevate those who
hear them. Dr. Hall has de
lighted very large audiences
on three former occasions in
Edgefield, and it ig but rea
sonable* to expect that this
popular lecturer will be greet
ed by a large audience in the
opera house on Friday night.

Oyster Stew.
For the inexperienced cook the
recipe for a fine cyster stew is
given in the Ocobrr Woman's
Home Companion.
"Put one quart of oysters In a
colander, and pour over three
fourths of a cupfull of cold water,
reserving the liquor. Pick over
the oysterri, being careful that no
particles of shells adhere to the
tough muscles. Heat the reserved
liquor to the boiling point, strain
through a double thickness of
cheese cloth, add the oysters, and
cook, stirring occosionally, until
the oysters ars plump and the
odges begin to curl. Remove the
oysters with a skimmer to a heat
ed tureen, and add one fourth of a
cupful of butter, one half table
spoonful of salt, one eighth of a
teaspoonful of pepper, the oyster
liquor, strained a second time
through a double thickness of
cheese cloth, and- four cupfuls of
scalded milk."

Counted Croas Ties to Edgefield.
A. S. Tompkins, Esq., spent a
portion of last week in Union on
business. While returning home
on Friday afternoon he chanced
to meei Dr. Geo. B. Cramer and
Congressman Wyatt Aiken at
Trenton, who were also coming to
Edgefield. Instead of waiting
several hours for the train to go
to Aiken and return to Edgefield,
they decided to walk to this place.
The two long-legged gentlemen
thought Mr. Tompkins, who is a
light-weight, physically, would
soon fall by the wayside. But not
so. Mr. Tompkins is so accustom
ed to walking that starting him on
a journey afoot is about like
pit-jhing Brer. Rabbit in the brier
