Even the cotton around Trenton does not appear to be as well advanced as some iu the clay section of the county. The imposing brick building ot Messrs J. M. Wise & So*), of Tren ton, is neariug completion. When this new building is entirely com pleted it will add greatly to the appearance of tho business square of our sister town. We know that it will be a great undertaking to clean the average back yard io Edgefield, but be cause it bas been so long neglect ed makes moro imperative the "need that it be thoroughly clean ed. Dr J. Q Adams, of Charlotte, has be*>n spending the past week with Dr. Manly Timmous and Mr. B. Timmoua. He visited his] old home and the scenes of his boyhood near Elmwood on Satur day.

If you don't clean np your premises in the next few days, along with all of tho other fo'ks in town, your neighbors will come to the conclusion that your bick ya^d ii in such an awful condi tion that you did not care to un dertake sucu a job. Better get I usy. In spite of the high price .of corn, mules and horses throughout the couuty are looking weil. The j well-kept condition and good ap pearance of stock, notwithstand ing that the hard-work season is on, is due to the fact that a good corn crop was made iu this couu ty last year.

When we saw a "b?ge crate ( luscious peaches in the.exprei office a few days ago* for a popi lar Edgefield belle, how we di wish that we too were a prett young lady and could feast upo peaches, candy and other nie things at the expense of someb")d else. The Advertiser acknowledge the receipt of an invitation loth commencement exercises of Zoa High School, of which Pref T. E Dorn is the able principal. Th Hon. D. C. Heyward and othe distinguished speakers will de liver addresses. ^ It ia very generally regrettei that Miss Hattie Newsom will uo teach again next sessiou in th? graded school.

It may not be an eloga?t foru of expression, but to say that the plum trees are ..plum" full tbif year is literally true.

The puhlic square at Trenton besides being adorned with F.coref of beautiful shade trees, has had j its appearance greatly enhanced by tho planting of flowers and shrubbery by the ladies of the town who aTe interested in civic improvement.

We bave heard it said that (jome people iu Edgefleld eau not sit on their piazzas at night be cause of the disagreeable odor? that come froto premises in the neighborhood. Great Scoti ! Tb?6 is au awful charge-ono that we do hot like to put in print-but we do so in the hope that it will cause the people of Edgefleld to wake up and clean up. "Leen" Most Out. A colored man remarked to the writer the other da}', in a tone of distress: "BOPS, what am I gwiue ter do? My leen is about out eu de black berries ain't ripe." We advised him to apply for an ex tension of bis "leeu" for a few weeks. Merchant ought to be more cor.'siderate and make the "leen" big enough to last till blueberries come iu. Good Crop of Oats. Mr. Walter L. Nicholson was in towu Saturday and white in con versation with Tbe Advertiser's renreeeutative etated that he will make uetweeu 400 and 500 bush els of oats this year.
