The Advertiser has bee? request ed to announce that the ladies of the missionary society or the Bap tist church of Clark's Hill will give an ice cream festival Saturday af ternoon, July 16th, from four till eight o'clock. We trust that the peo ple of Clark's Hill and vicinity will accord these ladies a generous pat ronage. Now that the peach season is on, every Clark's Hill purse is overflowing, consequently the Clark's Hillians cannot plead pover ty as Edgefieldians do sometimes Hammond Carmichael's Acre. We haye seen only one prize "patch" so far this year, that of Mr. Hammond Carmichael, who is ? member of the Boys' Corn Club His acre is here in town on Beaver Dam, and it has withstood the floods remarkably well. The rows are four feet apart and the corn is from eight to ten inches in the drill. As to its height, we would not venture a statement. By the thc] time the tassel is fully developed some of ii will vie ,with the mill stack. Water stood on a small por tion of the acre which will curtail the yield probably ten or fifteen bushels. "Garrick's Prolific" is the variety planted, and while it had not commenced to "shoot" when we saw it, we are confident that under normal conditions it will be well eared. Hammond's corn is very fine but don't be discouraged boys, you who are competing with him, for "there's many a slip twixt the field and the crib." Has Government Position. Mr. Joi?eph A. Gaines, who at tended the University last winter, has not returned home for a vaca tion this summer, as have mont of our people who attended college.

Edgefield's Skilled Gardener. The management of The News and Courier recently learned of Mr. R. G. Shannonhouse's skill as a gardener, and urged him to write a ?eries 'of articles for publication. The first of the series, an article a column in length, appeared in Mon day's issue of The News and Cour ier. ' Others will follow at intervals, one probably being published each week. .The initial article was very interesting and but for its length we would reproduce it. However, we shall from time to time, as space permits, publish Mr. Shannonhouse's articles. It is needless to, add that The News and Courier will pay Mr. Shannonhouse for these special ar ticles,1 which are' easily worth the price. We congratulate Mr. Shan nonhouse upon making his garden ing profitable in two ways. Assist the Episcopal Ladies. The ladies of the Episcopal church have arranged to sell ice cream and cake Friday afternoon of ibis week from six till ten o'clock on the lawn it the home of Mrs. Kate Mi ms on Main street, next door to the pala tial residence of Mr. and Mrs. B. B Jones- The efforts of these good ladies are highly commendable and we trust that they will meet wNith substantial encouragement from the people of our town, irrespective of church affiliation. They will dis pense ice cream made of golden Jersey cream and besides the old fashioned pound cake of <rur grand mothers, they will have chocolate sake, silver cake, marble cake, and layer cakes galore. The menu of the Episcopal ladies will be all right and the only thing needful, that which the public can, ought to md will supply, is the well filled purses. These good ladies should have large faith and make large preparations, for we believe they ?viii have a large patronage.
