Cotton.


Slowly and cautiously cotton is
feeling its way up to higher figures,
and the best cotton-tots predict
that there is a good time coming
if you can only hold the staple
long enough.
salesday.
Last Monday, salesday, was dull
and spiritless: There wasn't even
an exciting horse trade to relieve
the du1lness, and the Farmers
Bank seemed to enjoy monopoly
of all the business transacted.

A Tobacconist-
Mr.. A. C. Penn, of Mountain
Creek, a virginian by birth, and
q tobacco grower and manufac-
turer while living in that State,
told us last Saturday that he had
made a splendid lot of tobacco
this season; that he cured it by
steam in his own tobacco barn,
and that he thought of taking q
trip to Florence and visiting the
tobacco worehouse there before
his crop.
Took the Buttons.
Sometime since we received
pair of Cleveland sleeve buttons
from New York, with the request
that they be given to the most
truthful brickmason in Edgefeld
County. Sam Taylor heard about
the request and forthwith walked
right up to the Captains Office and
to be the man we were
looking for. Of course he got the
buttons-and now wears them
and the champion belt as the s'most
truthful brickmason in all Edge
field.
An Edgefeld Farmer.
The Prosperity Press and Re.
porter has the following to say oi
an Edgefeld farmer: "Mr. Geo
P. Caughman, of the Etheridge
community, Edgefeld Co., who il
a one-horse farmer, thoroughly
understands his business, as the
result of his labors show: 16 acres
in corn yielded 80 bushels, 5 acres
in cotton yielded 800 pounds each
Of course he had a garden, pota'
toes, pinders, grain, &C., besides
other crops. Who can beat hif
record?
Not White Ones.
The Aiken Journal and Review
of last week says: "Dr. W. ii
Zimmerman was in town on Fri
day with his son DR.. R. II. Tim
norman selling cotton. They say
they have the poorest crop-of cot
ton they have had for sometime
The senior Doctor went into Mr.
Quinhy's store to buy a pair o.
pants, and one of Mr.. Quinby'l
polite clerks asked the Doctor il
he was particular about the color
and the Doctor in his cool and un'
assuming way said: 4 don't think
that I like snow white ones.'
Hotel Edgefield.
This beautiful edifce is fas
approaching completion. Twenty
new bedrorms with a fireplace il
each have been added. Il flag poll
surmounts the roof, from which
will float q United State flag and 8
penorant bearing the works, "Hote
Edgefeld." In all its appoint
ments the addition equals in
elegance tho main building, indeed
it is larger than. the main build
ing, the original conception of tn
architect. Edgeield may, at som
future day, take higher fligh
than the Hotel Edgefeld, but a
this time it is the thing of beaut.
in all this landscape.
