Rev. Alb. Watson.

Rev. Alb. Watson.
We are glad to state that this gentle
man, although still feeble, is well
enough enough to be present at the
day services in the Opera House.
The Buckeye.
Messrs Ramsey 8 Bland have ac-
cepted the agency for the celebrated
Buckeye Mowers, Reapers, and Bind
ers, and will have these machines on
exhibition at Edgefeld and Johnston.
Sam Taylor's yictuals.
Somebody broke into Sam Taylor's
house one day last week and stole 2R
pounds of meatand six eggs. Sam says
if the wretch who took his things will
bring them back he'll give him half
for his trouble.
Not Joe Barks.
Last week we said that Joe Barks
was candidate for County Commits
sioner. We should have said Joe
Banks. There is no Joe Barks in the
county, or if there is, he hasn't barked
mn the ApvERT1sER tree with V.
Moclzing-Birds VS.. Frogs.
If it be true, as some alIege, that the
mocking-birds all over the country in
their morning carollings boiler "Whit-
tle-Whittle-Whittle," it is also true
that the frogs below at their evening
conventions aOuzts-ouzts," Turner
Turner"
To School Trustees,
School Trustees will do we'll to read
the notice of Auditor Davis published
in another column. Under the law IT
is their duty to report the names OF all
persons in their respective districts
who are liable to poll tax. This duty
should be performed at once.
Just Like Augusta.
Mr.. Campbell has quit working a
niger in his bread wagon and has
bitched in a horse. This means that
the bread business in Edgefield has
cutgrown the little cart that Hillery
Dorm has been pushing up and down
our hills for the last few months
Courtney & Minis built Mr.. CampbelPs
wagon, which.:Re can truthfully call {
sdaisy."
A Town Park.
Darlington is moving in the matter
OF having park, and it is to be
mile and half from the business
portion of the town-a cool and shad!
nlace where ladies, and children will
their nurses, could recreate on summer
afternoons and dive,.walk, romp. Sucf
a spot is much needed by Edgeheld
The Sheppard grove, now owned by
A. s. Tompklns, Esq would be mos
suitable for such park.
Newberry College.
We are in receipt of the annua
catalogue, 1892, of this institution
of learning-one of the best in th
State. Among the matriculates W.
observe the names of six bright AM
brainy Edgefeld boys to wit: Rober
Marsh, of Trenton; j. W. Black, o
Etheredge; J. L. Caughman, of Caugh
~ mans: N. D. Bodie, of Clouds Creek

Ranch, of Wyses Ferry.

Is 1t True?
We clip the following from an AT
beyille correspondent of the August
Chronicle. We dent know whether
word of it is true or not; we have onl
this to say, that if the cars are to g
to Abbeville in few days it is tim
the whistle of the three C's was blow
ing in our old burg:
"The Carolina and Cumberland Ga
from Edgefeld, and, think, from Al
gusta, has been graded within seve
miles of the court house. This wor
stopped few months ago, but; fro
what we can learn, the cars will be
the city in few uays. This lon!
looked-for road has come at last. We
come to Abbeville, Chicago, Carolil
and Cumberland Cap"
Dramy Trial justices.
Our old friend, l.. Mack, OF q
Butler Church section, says the peop
onght to beware of electing dram
trial justices. Such a trial justi
can't hold the scales of justice even
balanced. He is too apt to put t
plaintiff and defendant, witnesses al
Jury IN one scale and himself step
the other with his dram, and viii
the trial justice goes down justice go
up the spout. BY dramy trial justi
we mean one from whom you cou
squeeze dram at any time OF d
from rosy morn to dewy eve. Bewa
of tlramy trial justices.
That there may be no mistake,
