Watch for Rives Bros. announce ment later. First Bale of New Cotton. The first bale of cotton of the new crop was marketed here last Thursday, August 17th, by Mr. T. A. Broadwater, a prominent far mer of the Harmony section. The bale weighed 580 pounds and was purchased by the Beaver Dam Mill , for 12 1-4 cents. The mill also bought the seed from the bale, pay ing 25 cents per bushel. This was King cotton, a very early variety, which accounts for the fact that the first bale was marketed nearly three weeks earlier than that of last sea son. Cotton generally over the county is not opening earlier than it does on average years. Death of Mrs. Wise. Friday morning last, Mrs. Ade line Wise, widow of the late John '. M. Wise, died at her home west of Trenton, being in her 76th year at the time of her death. She was en joying excellent health for one of '. her age up to a short time before death, which resulted from acute ' indigestion. The funeral took place at Horn's Creek church Saturday afternoon, the Rev. R. G. Shan nonhouse officiating. Mrs. Wise was a member of the Episcopal church of Trenton. Hers was a beautiful life, exem- ? plifying the teaching of the Mas ter. Those who knew this sweet spirited lady best speak in the high est terms of her -graces of charac ter. She will be greally missed in ? the community where she has spent her long and useful life. Mrs. Wise leaves two daughters, Mrs. S. T. IJughes, of Trenton, and Mrs. J. F. Carswell, of Augusta. " Tax-Payer" Makes Well Founded Complaint Mr. Editor: I am opposed to knockers, but I can't resist at this time, after seeing our train come in a few nights ago at 9 o'clock with only ene light in first-class coach, that being the conductor's lantern. There was 12 or 15 passengers, can not say exactly for it was so dark it was impossible to count them. There were several ladies on train, and parties who were there to meet them could not tell whether they were meeting their wives, sisters or some one else's. Now Mr. Editor, I think it's time for the good citi zens of Edgefield to see if they can't have train properly lighted by R. R. Co., and also demand that the city council see that a light is placed at depot and maintained by the town. We are taxed and pay a license, and if we can't get some benes s that all civilized communi ties are entitled to for our money expended, we should know the rea son why. Tax-Payer.
