roost SO high.

A Correction.
The ADVERTISER Job Office has
printed and delivered 10000 ticket
for the primary election. After
printing two-thirds of these tickets
we were informed that the name
Of of the delegates printed 81"
M. Kinard, should be &C." M.
Kinard, SO when you go to vote
scratch out the 81" and put a'"G."
overit.
They Don't Lie.
The planet Mars Is inhabited.
There isn'ta particle of doubt as to
that. A citizen of Edgefield saw a
giant in it the other night waving a
red flag, and he signalled that Till
man would be elected. We are glad
to know that the planet is inhab-
tied, and that the folks don't tell
lies up there like they do down
here.
Fire at Trenton.
Mr.. B. Norris, of Trenton, had
the misfortune on last Sunday
morning to lose his store and con-
tents by fire. 1t was insured in one
of Mr.. G.. B. Lakes companies, but
We do not know the exact amount
of insurance. Since writing. the
above we learn that two stores and
several vacant ware rooms were
burned, ten in all.
The Isham Glover Homicide.
After the failure of the first Jury
of Inquest to find verdict in the
Isham Glover case, as published
in these columns last week, Solic-
itor Nelson promptly organized
another jury, stopped the funeral
corrtege and held second inquest
This second jury found the follow
ing verdict: "We find that Isham
Glover came to his death from gun
shot wounds inflicted by G. HI.
Anderson" In the meantime Mr..
Anderson had surrendered to the
Sheriff and is still in jail, and we
hear will apply for bail this week,
having employed Messrs. Sheppard
Bros and w. G. Benet, of Abbe-
vile as his counsel.
Bile Dem Cabbage Down.
Last week Ed Colgan came from
Trenton to Edgefeld with a load
of cabbages for sale, but they
would not sell. The colored brother
and sister would walk by the
wagon, look at them longingly
and cay: "Boss, we wants 'em, but
we amt got no meat to bile wild 'em
when wo bile dem cabbage down"
An idea struck Ed. He was offer
ing his cabbage two heads for a
nick, but they wouldn't go without
the grease, 80 he went off and
bought 10 cents worth of bacon,
cue il in six slices, and laying a
slice on each of the heads offered
them at 5 cents g. head, with the
arasher" of bacon thrown in.
Right here we ring the curtain
down. No use to tell anymore Of
it Everybody must know the re-
suit. Those cabbages with the
streak of grease, went like hot
cakes. Ed sold every one he had
and they clambered on the wagon
wheels, coupling pole, hounds, and
hind.gate and begged him to "come
agin, boss, and do us dat way some
mo-"
