Mr.. B. B. Hughes, of Trenton,
has finished his corn and wheat
mill aid is ready for the patronage
of the public. His gin is also
ready for cotton, and satisfaction
will be guaranteed all round. We
don't know of another wheat mill
within fifteen miles of Edgefeld,
and possibly there is no other
nearer Trenton. The adulteration
of flour at the present day is 80
great that it behooves every man
fond of cake doings and chicken
fxings to raise his own wheat,
have itground near home, and then
eat it.

A New Departure.

A New departure.
Mr.. A. Horne, of Ridge
Spring, has gone into the fruit tree
and nursery business. This is q
new departure for Edgefeld, but
one which ought to have been made
years ago. There is no better
place in the world for such an en-
terprise than the Ridge, and no
more suitable man to have the
management of it than Mr.. Horne.
When Washington, the one who
was the father of his country,
drove through the Ridge section of
our county on the route from Sa-
vannah to his home at Mt. Vernon
in 1890, he is said to have pulled
a peach from a tree in old Mrs.
Owdoms's yard, where he spent the
might've do not mean to say that
he spent the night in the yard.
Well, he took a bite from the peach
and said, "by tam it am very goot,
as my friend Gen. Lafayette would
say" So this high authority is
down on the record as favoring the
peaches of the Ridge, and from
that day to this the fruit of that
whole section has been famous.
Let Mr.. Horne move forward in
the good work.

G. Lott, Jr. 1t has been the GUS
tom of the young men to. give an
annual ball, but heretofore no per-
manent organization had been per-
fected. We congratulate the club
on it's selection of officers. Under
the management of President
Evans we predict an abundant
success, as Barney is not only q
''hustler in insurance" but is
equally an adept in the art Terp-
sichorean, and with his handsome
lieutenants success is the only
word. The date of the entertain
ment is Sept. 21st. The old way
of paying your entrance fee at the
door has been abolished aud only
those who receive invitations will
be allowed admission. Those who

School Commissioner Davenport
advises US taat the reason there
has been no teachers institute In
Edgefeld this year is, that there
have already been two institutes
here in former years which
amounted to mere farce III con-
sequence of the lack of interest
si1own by the teachers. Upon con-
suItafioia with the various school
trustees it was decided not to hold
