So little cotton has been brought
into town this week that we verify
believe the supply is about ex-
hausted.
The farmers of Edgefeld have
made more provisions this year
than for many years, and they have
already sowed largely of wheat
and oats for another years crop.
The many friends of j. VIM.

to hear that he has safely passed
the crisis of his disease, in fact is
sitting up, and is rapidly conval-
escing.

DR.. f. w. P. Butler is at home
again. Frank likes the sea breezes,
even in November, and the odor of

DR.. Price Zimmerman was in
town on Monday. Dr.. Price is one
of the most genial and popular of
the rising young physicians in the

aeterize the state.

of age at the time of his death,
is bright example of industry,
thrift and integrity.

special land elaborate line of Christ

gentlemen carte blanche to kill him
by allowing him to eat himself to
death.
DR.. Jos. H. jennings, of Plum
Branch, was in town on Monday,
hale, hearty, and genial, and as
young, to all intents and pur-
poses, as when in 1860 he ran for

when Mart Gary, Cal Butler, Joe
Jennings, and Tom Lamar filled
our boyish beau ideal of what
statesmen, sch ,lars, and gentlemen
oughtto be.
