Tho executive board jof the Edgefield Baptist association met on Friday and apportioned among the churches the amount that tbe association bas been asked to give to the various causes of be nevolence that are festered by the Baptist d?nomination. The ap portionment will be printed at once ia tabular form as it was last year, and sent out to the pas tors to be distributed amoDg their respective ~ flocks. One other church, Ebenezer, of Trenton, has united with the Edgefield asso ciation since the apportionment was made a year ago. Ead Good Millinery Season. The Cornor Store has had a: exceedingly satisfactory millinery season. Mr*. Turner told The Ad vertieer's repr?fl?nt?tive a fev. dayh ago ?hat he lins ie?s thin y half di>zeu hu ts or; li:th*d, and I hoy will yet be disposed of. Il is Thc Corner Slpre's pr.!icy utver to carry goods from BPRSOII to season. Mr. Turner will go to market ear ly and purchase a very lr.rge mil linery stock for the spring-the largest that he bas ever .shown. May Re-invest ix Edgefield. Having sold bis large planta tion on the Savannah river, Giri'. M. C. Butler is co?trmplat i rig re investing the money in'Edgefield by erecting cof??.?*:r. to rent to nortbprn people during the win ter. This would bs a rev.- d 'part ure for Edg<-fKd, and oue that should be e neon rag'-d. Gen. and Mrs. Butler hava a number of northern friends who come Biiith to spend their winters, and nc doubt the}' could induce thom lo como to Sdgrfield. Many Oats Yet to bsTSown.

Prescott has already broadcast cotton seed on much of bis land, awaiting favorable weather to sow the oats. He says, however, that he has never been very successful in growing spring oats. ?on?agratipn'A verted. About two o'clock Saturday af ternoon last, fire was discovered on the roof of the large dwelling near the Baptist church, known as the Addison building. The alarm was given, and in a very short time several persons climb ed to the roof and applied water to the flames. The fire evidently originated from one of the stove flues of the building. The bouse is constructed of rich, heart material arri bad the fire gained much headway before being dis covered, it would have been im possible to cheek the flambs. Hedges and Shrubbery to be Planted. Dr C. E. Burts, aided by mem bers of the cemetery association, is constantly making improve ments upon the village cemetery. The eastern side of the old ceme tery has recently been enclosed by a substantial . wire fence, and at an early day hedgps and other shrubbery will be planted. A hedge will be planted just inside of the new fence that was built sometime aeo along the street leading to the college. Thc em ployment of a man vho gives hi* entire time to i he care of the cemetery is & great improvement upon the old*~"way of caring for it. ' * ! Enforce Ordinance Against Shoot ing. Tho chirp of robins can b? oc casionally beard in the frees about town, which reminds one that th> great nuisance and an noyance of promiscuous shooting on the etreets will soon begin. We do not know bow it wns in other parts of thf town, but we dc know thKt tho forbearance and patience of some Buucombites were sorely tried last year. The robin shooters utterly disregarded tim rights and safety of not a few Buncombe residents. Private Dremiees were invaded, and frequently shot would fall upon residences and about the yard, endangering life. If the ordinance prohibiting shooting upon or near tho streets of the town is enforced this an noyance would net be repeated this year. Let it be enforced. Abundant Water Supply. For several years President Bailey has been annoyed and grr-atly inconvenienced by the limited water supply at the col lege. Since tho building was erected four years ' ago, two large wells have bsen dug upon the campus, but on account of an un derlying etratum of granite they could not be made denp enough to afford sufficient water for all purposes. Last wfek Mr. W. J. Hatcher installed a water svstem th.U supplies water in abundance. A rsm wes placed in the ever flowing stream Borne distance above the college, and the wrter is conducted through pipes into a large tank at the coll?ge. Tbc ram which pumps continuously supplies about 3,000 gallons a day. This water is used for bath purposes only, the water from tho wells being used for drinking purposes. Barred Plymouth Reek. For several years Mr. J. P Bates bas devoted much tima to chickeu raising, and not without very marked success. He has the largest and prettiest flock of Bar red Ply men tb Ricks to be found anywhere in this section of the state. Mr. Bates in au excellent judge of chickens, and, priding himself upon keeping bis fowls up to the highest siandard, hh will not even allow one of defect ive plumage to remain in hif<! flock. Besides ' selling a gre??I quantity of eggs each season for; batching purposes, Mr. Bates can ! scarcely npply the demand for! young J . and cockereis. Else where our columns be advertif es hL i arred Plymouth Rock eggs and your g cockerels at very reasonable price?. Wanted: A good home-raised horse. Apply to _F. N. K.

Bee. who for a doz en, cr more years bas noer?. carry ing the m Fils to Ropers, had the misfortune to lose his faithful horf?a last Thursday. Tba animal was made sick by some up known cause and in a short time devel oped lock-jaw, and had to be killed. Losing a good horse, when horse flesh is commanding such high prices, is uo smell misfort uue. Mr. Bee not only feels the fi nancial loss very keenly, as any one else would, but. bad owned the horse for several years and had become greatly attached to it on account of its excellent quali ties.

On Friday morniog last the charred body of Emma Holloway, was found at her home near the site of the old depot. The woman was afflicted with epilepsy, and, presumably, ff.-ll in the fire while seized with a fit. Being alone in the bouse, she waa not found until eh", had burned to death. It having been suapected I b}' some that Emma was struck nfataTblow and thrown in the fire, Magistrate Brimson held au inquest in compliance with the law bearing upon such ca8ea. Dr. J. G. Edwards made the examina tion. The jury rendered a verdict to the effect that death resulted from falling in the fire while in a fit, there being no evidence of any foul deed. Emma Holloway killed a lad on the streets of Edgefield about two years ago by striking him on the head with a large earthen pitcher. She was convicted of manslaughter but on account of ceitain mitigating cir cumstances was pardoned after being in the penitentiary for sev eral months.
