at the Exposition building.
DR.. J. B. Stephens, pastor of the PRINT
tive Baptist Church, will preach at Wood
bine next Sunday evening at 4 o'clock.
Just think of il; a crowd double the en-
tire population of Edgefield, was gathered
within the walls of the Exposition building
Wednesday night.
Commissions were made out by the
Secretary of State yesterday for A. B. En-
loe and Robert Cantrell as special Judges
of the Circuit Court at Huntingdon and

the fact that for two years before being
purchased by our city authorities, the
Eclipse Fire-engine wandered up and
down the land squirting water against the
brag engines Of the country, and coming
