Stores to be Closed.
All the stores and places of bust
ness in our. town will be closed on
Thanksgiving day, Nov. 3Oth. Let
our country friends remember this,
and If they come to town at all
on that day come to spend the day
with US and eat of our thanksgiv-
ing bacon rinds.
Lady Clerks.
Alvin Hart & Co. have employed
Miss Mary Hart as clerk in their
establishment. This is an inno-
vation here in Edgefield that we
are glad to note. In nearly every
other town in the State ladies are
in the stores. 1t is work
to which they are specially adapted
and there are many articles that
ladies would prefer to purchase
from one Of their own sex.
Old Satan Mad.
The Y. M. C. A. has rented the
Opera House from Messrs. Shep-
pard and Hart to be used by them
for their own proper use and be-
hoof. There will be no operas or
theatrical performances allowed !;
in word, Satan will never get
even toe-hold within those now
guarded precincts, unless Bud
Russell let's him in through The
Farmer office.
A Fair Proposition.
Mr.. R. L. Fox, our enterprising
ieweller, has just gotten in a large
supply of scissors and shears of
ali sizes and variousprices. They
are all sold under guarantee that
if. they break for any cause he will
give you another pair. He showed
US pair that had been broken by
a man while trying to pry the cork
out of dispensary bottle. This
was not exactly the fair way of
testing the scissors, but all the
same Mr.. Fox gave him another
pair.
A Big Pig.
Mr.. Ed. Connolly, of the Saluda
sid, killed a hog last week only
ten months old that weighed 434
pounds net, the biggest ten months
pig ever killed in Edge6eld county.
Eldred Herlong; Tol. Perry, Jim
Herbert, and Henry Bodie are yet
to be heard from, but it is proposed
that, if not killed before that time,
they saddle theirs up and ride 'em
to Edgefeld on salesday in jan
uary, just to show the people what
can be made out of q hog when
meat is high.
A Novel Point.
In the case of the State against
f. D. Holsenbake, indicted for
selling: crop under lien, called for
trial in the court last week, ]. w.
DeVore, Esq, made this novel
point: That the lien in this case
was given after the merchant had
c commenced making advances, and
be maintained that the statute re-
quired that the lien should be
given before, or at the same time,
with the first advances. Upon this
statement of facts and law Judge
Hudson quashed the Indictment.
The moral of this is that if you
get in tight place employ Jim
DeVoTe to get you out of it, and if
you want to get another fellow in
the nine-hole, do likewise.
Mccormick VS.. Greenwood.
If Greenwood should become
the county seat for a new county,
Mccormick would be relegated to
the rear for all eternity unless she
goes over into Georgia for her
Brother Harmon of the
Mccormick News knows this and
in his last issue "cries out long and
fierce for new countless" provided
always that Mccormick gets one
of them. Otherwise, to be counted
not in it. The following is what
the News says on the subject:
"Greenwood is working like
tigers to the formation of a new
county and Abbeville G. Fl. is
working the same to i's opposition.
All opposition must cease, new
counties are bound to come, and
they had as we'll submit now as
any other time. All. the people
say that the counties are too large,
that it is too unhandy to reach
them and that smaller counties
are inevitable and Greenwood is
the first to make the break after
which Mccormick will follow in
quick succession. Mr.. J. K. burst
is here to-day in the interest of
the new county. Capt. R. J. Rob-
