Welcome.

state was not seriously hurt.
Somebody Was Dead.
Our old friend Frank Cooper
gives a graphic picture of his first
visit to Edgefeld after the dispen-
sary law went into operation. He
says when he came to Edgefvld on
salesday in July last, everything
was so quiet and ORDERLY that he
thought some great man was dead,
maybe Cleveland: but he soon
found that it was the absence of
she barrooms that made the town

Pluttercrat or Ramracker?
The long-haired pluttercrat who,
as Rabbi Surgis converted Jew
from East India, fimflamed a
few nickels out of our good people
for the establishment of an orphan
