Those who attended the services in the Presbyterian church last Sun day were greatly edified by the two excellent sermons that were preach ed in the morning and evening by Rev. T. D. Latimer who is a minis ter of unusual ability. He not only has a ready command of choicest language and a very thorough knowledge of the scriptures but speaks from his rich store of expe rience as a pastor and evangelist Mr. Latimer made a very favorable impression upon his audience Sun day. . Climbed to Front Rank. If you have corn to buy (not the liquid kind), go to Mr. Pierce Ste vens. He has climbed this year up into the front rank of the corn growers of the county. When the writer saw him several weeks ago he was in the greatest glee of his life, exulting over the fact that re siding midway between the two "crack" farmers of the county, W. T. Walton and B. R. Smith, he has beat them both making corn this year. Farmer Stevens says he is going to sell Farmer Smith his seed corn next year. Should Make Threat Good. Some time last spring our jovial friend Pierce Stevens intimated that he was going to see to it that a missionary was sent to Edgefieid, the Baptist church having failed to call a pastor promptly. Now that Edgefieid has another pastorless church, and still another temporari ly closed because of the illness of the pastor, our friend will doubtlafs think the need is more ?imperative than formerly. Better send him of her-the missionary-along, Broth er Stevens. Notice. ' Our store will be closed from Friday evening 6 o'clock and all day Saturday Sept 23rd, on account of Jewish holiday. C. H.

Lynch ? Co. Intensive Farming Pays. In addition to his work Of selling Singer sewing machines, being one of the most successful agents in the employment of* the company, our friend Luther G. Quarles finds time to make money farming. He has eight acres of cotton from which he will gather ten bales, which is bet ter than the average one-horse farm does where the full time and atten tion of the owner is given to it. Never m i nd,peo pie will finally learn that intensive farming ia the only system, by whioh "both ends'' can be made to meet. New Clerks. The prospect of a large fall busi ness has increased the salesforce of the town. Mr. Charlie Roper is now with W. E. Lynch ? Co.; Mr. Wm. A. Eubants is with Mr. J. W. Peak; Mr. Levi Holmes is with Mr. W. A. Hart and Mr. Cornelius Holmes is with the Edgefield Mer cantile Co. k W?1 "Fatten" His Land. Mr. S. E. Morgan has the right idea about rotation and soil improve ment. Instead of mowing all of his peas for hay, Mr. Morgan has a ten acre field under wire fence on which he will pasture and fatten his hogs, and then torn the vines ander, as he says, to "fatten" his land. Would that more farmers wonld deliberate ly plan every year to "fatten" their land, instead of leaving it poorer and poorer at the end of each year. Good Cotton Market . The good price that is bung paid for cotton at Edgefield is causing large quantities of the staple to be brought to this market. There were about 80 bales sold here last Thursday, 75 Friday and nearly 200 Saturday. Already we have seen cotton sold here this season by farmers who sold at other places last season. They have found that the Edgefield market .now is not surpassed anywhere else in this sec tion of the state. Card of Thanks. We desire to express our thanks and sincere appreciation for the many attentions shown Mrs. N. D. Rob ertson in uer late illness. Her neigh bors and friends reflected a beauti ful Christian spirit by their kindly ministrations in ways too numerous to mention. We shall always remem ber them gratefully. N. D. Robertson, H. W.

The strong appeal in this issue to the men who wore Red Shirts in '76, signed "Edgefield," was writ ten by a gallant son of Edgefield who was only 21 when he wore the Red Shirt. He now has ll children and three grand-children. His pa triotic appeal should be heeded. Edgefield county should be well represented in Columbia September 27th and 28th. Card of Thanks. ?
