Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1892-03-17
Bad Sidewalks.
The sidewalks in Buncombe need re-
pairs. We call the attention OF the
CITY ce,Incii to their decadence.

Mr.. Geo. w. Medlock, Of old Meri-
|wether Township, paid the ADyER-
risER pleasant call on Monday last.
Mr.. Medlock is.a Democrat pure and
lundefiled and third parties and 1nde-
pendents have no charms for him.
lRestaurant and Grocery.
| Mr.. Luther =. Jackson, who was
burned out when the ADVERTISER was
consumed. has opened a restaurant and
grocery at No.l Tompkins Avenue.
| His former patrons will find him affable
and as ready to serve them as before
his big loss. Tompkins Avenue, by the
way, is the street running from Main
street back to Norris Avenue.
With Thanks.
We acknowledge the receipt OF IN
yitations to be present at the joint
celebration of the anniversaries OF the
Newberry College literary societies.
lin the list of debates that appear ON
the beautifully printed cards we notice
such good old Edgefield names as,
EDerrick, Kinard, Merchant, Wheeler,
Caughman, Black, and Jones.
Fire and Life.
We call attention to the double
column advertisement of Mr.. B. B.
Evans's fire and life insurance agency
at this place. Mr.. Evans represents
some of the best companies in Amer
Iica, or in fact in the world. They are
as solid financially as rock-ribbed
IGibraltar, and as prompt in their pay
ment of losses as honest settlements
Twill allow.
Zack Boone's Choice.
Following the example of the News
and Courier we have interviewed a
number of prominent gentlemen as to
their preferences for President, Cleve-
land, or Hill, or Boies, or anybody else.
Among the first interviews was one
with Zack Boone, Esq. Zack says he's
for Cleveland, if he (Cleyeland) don't
stop making baking powders, for ne
would rather have him rs baking
powder maker than President, he
makes such good ones.
The Y. M. @. a.
This organization in Edgetield is
one of the most successful and prom
Using in the. State. The interest of the
officers and members does not seem to
flag. The Y. NJ. c. A. rooms, which
are daily made more attractive by ad-
ditions of books, papers, ETC., form a
pleasant rendezvous for the young
men of our town, and from time to
time they invite their lady. friends to
an entertainment in their hall atwhich
an attractive programme of recitations,
music, and feasting is always special
feature. One of these sociables, or
wbat,the Bostonians would call social
functions, was given last Friday night,
and a most enjoyable evening was
spent by the large number present.
Rev. Mr.. Booth contributed two comic
