The Horn's Creek hills are said
to be peculiarly adapted to cotton,
but they also grow very fine water
melons.- Mr. S. L. Roper says they
!'have been feasting on melons at his
house since the 4th of Jujfy,.and
?i will continue to have a bountiful
supply until the season is over.
While the Baraca boys did not|
* net a very large sum for their treas
,.ury, their entertainment Friday
evening afforded the young people
a very pleasant time sooi??ly. Dur
ing the summer months some social
diversion should be provided at j
least once a fortnight for the young
people.
Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Stewart and
Mr. L. S. Kernaghan united with

eomme'nd these good people for
their very excellent example.
We congratulate the patrons of
the Red Hill school upon having j
secured the services of Prof. C. M.

efficient, painstaking worker in the

pers.
P. P. Blalock.
Mr; C. E. May took a trip through
Saulda county last week and brings
back an unfavorabe . report concern
ing the crops. Large fields of cotton
in the Fruit. Hill section were prac
tically ruined by the heavy rains,
the farmers being unable to check
the grass. He says our friend Char
lie Davis has a good crop. Charlie
is a hostler who is hard to down.
Crops in Edgefield county seem to
be much better than those in the
southern portion of Saluda.

Hill church last Saturday was quite

The good women of Red Hill are
indefatigable workers and we trust
that all of their efforts will be rich
ly rewarded.

reserved in the lines mentioned

some machinery that he recently
?old to the mill at that place.
Messrs. Stewart & Kernaghan are
selling a patented churn that will
contribute much toward curtailing
the dairy troubles of the Edgefield
housewives. It is1 the simples: and
at the same time the most satisfac
tory churn of the kind that we have
ever seen. They sold six of these
churns last Monday.
The popularity of the Timmons
drug store will now increase im
mensely,-especially during these hot
days. Mr. Timmons has just install

ant,
Paul Has ''Fought a Good
Fight."
The home-coming of Edgefield
boys is always a season of great re
joicing, but the return of Mr. Paul
W. Gibson for a stay of ten days
with Mr. Geo. F. Minis has afforded
his old friend unusual pleasu-'e.
Since locating in Atlanta nearly a
dozen years ago, Paul has been
steadily promoted, his entire career
having been one of honor and last
ing credit to himself. Unlike some
Edgefield. boys who sought their,
fortunes elsewhere, he can say, with
Caesar," "Veni, vidi, v vici/" Tae
only thing we can say against Paul
is that he ought to' have brought a
Georgia girl along with him.
Hurt Her Feet.
' Dinah, crying bitterly, was com
ing down the street with her feet
baudaged. ''Why what on arti \s
the matter?" she was asked. ''How
did you hurt your feet, Dinah?"

hard stone pavement."-Exchange.

woman's words
Mrs. E P Jackson, formerly of.
Cedar R?w, Edgefield,?S. C., says:
Although 1 have not used Doan's
kidney pills very long, they have
helped me so much that I can en
dorse them as a reliable remedy. I
niffered so intensely from pains in
my back, sides and hips that I
could not sleep well and felt little
like doing my work. Upon learning
of Doan's kidney pills, I procured
a supply and began taking them.
I have received so much benefit that
I am going to continue their use,
knowing that they will" not fail to
help me."

The Line He Was On.
Two telephone girls were talking
over the wire. Both were, discussing
what they should wear. In the
midst of this important conversation
a masculine * voice . interrupted
asking humblv for a number. .
One of the girls became indignant
and scornfully asked:
What line do you think you are
on, anyhow?"
' Well" said the m??i,< I am not
sure but judging from what I have
heard, I should say J was on a doili
es line."-San Francisco Call.

Doubtful of the Fruit Business.
"If you would keep healthy in the
smnmer time," some one said to
