Miss Brown, of Anderson, is
visiting her sister, Mrs Haltiwanger
Julias Caesar had fits. Ben Till
man don't have fits but he gives
'em to other people.
The excursion to Charleston was
a grand success. Hurrah for the
Edge6eld Rifles! Well all go
next time.
Miss Lula Prater, after spending
sometime with relatives and
friends in our town, returned to
her home Oh Monday.
Snow fell in the West and North
west on last Friday to considera-
BILE depth, and from these snow
fields came, no doubt, our recent
cold snap.
We hear reports of rust in the
wheat in various sections of the
county. The oats, notwithstand-
ing the dry weather, will be
fairly average crop.
There have been destructive halls
in various sections of the county
since our last issue, so destructive
in some places as to necessltate
the re-plantlng of cotton.
Pamphlets owe their name to
Pamphela, a Greek lady, who
left behind her number of
scrap books containing notes, re-
cipes. anecdotes, and memoranda.
In some PORTIONS of Edge6eld
county "sore shin" in cotton is re-
ported. This disease, if it may
be so-called, is attributed to the
cold winds of last. Saturday and
Sunday.
The Rev. w. States Jacobs has
returned from his visit to
Columbus, Miss, and preached in
the opera house at the united
services held there on Sunday
night.
We would like to know what
has become of that Mr.. Brunson of
Florence who twisted the blind
tigers tail and educed the prohibi-
ton decision from the Supreme
Court of this State.
On last Saturday it began to get
cold and the thermometer contin-
ued to-fall until Sunday morning.
The high winds which prevailed
alone saved US from frost. The
oldest inhabitant has never seen
such weather in May.
All man who have recently at
tanned their majority, or will do
so before the next election, should
not fail to secure their registra-
tion certificates either on the
first Monday in June or July. Tn
der the law, persons who fail to
register at the first opportunity
after becoming of age are debarred
registration and are consequently
disfranchised.
Capt. Joe Brunson, of Aiken,
was in town last week visiting his
many friends and relatives here
and throughout the county. The
first time we saw Joe Brunson he
was in the Gilgal Sunday-school
singing.
There is happy land.
Far, far away,
Where saints in glory stand
Bright, bright as day.
There will be meeting of the
stockholders of the Cumberland
Gap railroad in Aiken early IN
June. When the South Carolina
road was sold last April the Cum
berland Gap was not included in
the sale and we suppose this
ne ting of the Cumberland Gap
people is for the purpose of making
arrangements to have the new
management in the S c. R. R. lease
their road and run it; failing this
old Tumblin will have to run on it's
own hook or do like Tidy Smiths
rooster which sat on the fence and
waited for somebody to steal him
who was able to feed him.
D. A. G. QUITS, Esq, who was
yesterday admitted to the prac tice
of law by the Supreme Court is an
orgina Reformer and old news
paper man. For years he figured
in Edgefeld journalism and then
took a place on the Charleston
World, which carried him all over
the State. His genial humor made
him friends everywhere. Colonel
QUITS thinks of going West, in
accordance with Horace Greeley's
advice, to praclice his profession.
We hate to see men leaving the
State and hope he will remain.
His friends in Edge6eld want him
to run for the Legislature and
there is no doubt that he would be
an active and useful member of
the House, if elected to serve in
that body.-Register, May 18th.
H. O. King, formerly of this
State but bow of Atlanta. has dis
