The First Napoleon.
ttet.,-very strange tSSgc 'tbe Leg isiatirc-

manly visages of those estimable and
enterprising citizens. Messrs. Calvin and

Like "UncIe Grover.''
Senator Talbert is very handsome
man, infinitely handsoner than Cleveland.
But still Eige6eld would be highly pleas
ed if some Legislative reporter would dis
cover a strong likeness between him and
the President elect, alas "your uncle
Grover Cleveland.
Raise Thunder.
The phrase is not an elegant one, but
expressive Cannot some Of our Edge
field representatives in the Legislature
tr all of them In body-raise thunder
about this absurd plan of collecting taxes
in May and September? Let October, No
vember and December be the months.

Our young friend Loman, lately of
Batesburg, who writes the interesting

tious. But still he is young and apt to
be unduly enthusiastic II aOere infinitely
a0iser IN oar youag men TO stay Just achere
they are-and uork hard.
A Sign of the Times.
Since Cleveland's election we have got
subscription to the ADVERTISER from
Colorado, one from Wyoming, and one
from Indian Territory. The latter sub
scriber is an original Edge6eld man. As
regards the other two, God alone knows
who they are. Their money, however, is
good!

FarmerJ c. Swearengln-moved there
to by divine providence. and setting an
example worthy of universal imitation
has sent US sweet potatoes and turnips

described by all the languages of all the
continents. And raised too without rain
Indeed We have begun to think that rain
is totally unnecessary.
Look Sharp, Blackwell.
Our honored Representative, Capt. j
P. Blackwell, is on the most important Of
all the Legislative Committees-Ways
F~and Means. Let him look sharply to a
reduction in the amount Of appropria.
tlons. So that taxation may be as light
upon the people as possible. We know
he will be watchful and conscientious in
the matter.
