welcome New Conner.

popular Mr.. A. R. Waits, architect
of the "Hotel Edgefeld," has
rented one of Mrs. Woodson's
houses in Buncombe and moved
therein with his family. This
gentleman will have charge of the
Waits hardware and stove estab-
lishment.
The Year 1898.
One of the most hopeful signs
for the new year 1893 is the fact
that our farmers are not rushing
to the banks to borrow money as
they did last year and year before.
We remember that in 1891 and
'92 on salesday in January of those
years the Farmers Bank at this
place was literally packed with
applicants to borrow money-as
literally packed as herrings and
cotton seed oil are packed in a
sardine box.
Kevisits His Home.
Mr.. F. P. Durlsoe. of Texas, has
been spending sometime with his
brothers Messrs. D. R. and ]. R.
Durisoe. Pinck left Edgefeld six
teen yeersIago. and he told US that
he could not by any possibility
have recognized the town, such
and 80 great had been the changes,
the old court house and Jail being
the only buildings on the public
square unchanged. We were in the
P. o. with him Saturday night
with q crowd of 30 or 40 waiting
for the mail. Out of this number
there were only two faces that he
could recognize. We asked Pinck
what kind of a cotton crop they
made in Texas last season; he
said ait was only tolerable, we only
made from three-quarters to a
bale to the acre." We told him he
must use sight of 'joanner under
it. "Joannerl We don't use a bit
very few of our farmers have ever
seen any of the stuff, and I am
going to take vial back with me
to show them"
