Edgefeld is proud Of the way in
which her citizen-soldiely respond
ed to the call of the Governor on
last Saturday. Gen. Lee said that
duty is the sublimest word in the
English language, and this is
Edgefeld's conception of it. Gov.

implicitly on Edgefeld's four mill
tary companies.

dottes and Plymouth Rocks from
the best American strains and sells
eggs at $500 per sitting.
Smoked Meat.
Will Adams has regular old
fashioned smoked meat in strips,
and at the same price as the white
neat. To sit down to the break
fast table with a leather hoe cake
before you and plate full of this
bacon broiled or fried, nicely pep
pcred and bnttered, reminds one
of the good old times before the
war, when every body was rich and
had niggers.
1900 and Froze to Death.
The peaches and pears and
plums were killed by the last
freezes beyond peradventure. APP
Piles, except the very early varie-
ties, and blackberries are safe.
Vegetables, beets, peas, Irish po-
tatoes were all killed. Corn that
was up in many cases killed down
fiat, but may come out from the
bud. Buds on the oak trees were
also killed, and it is probable there
will be no acorns this year. Per-
simmons are gone too. "Where
shall rest be found?"
Free Delivery.
During the discussion of the
postofice appropriation bill last
week, Congressman Talbert made
an earnest speech in behalf of the
farmers for an appropriation for
free delivery of the mails i'll the
rural districts. His speech was
loudly applauded and the appro-
priation granted. So now we may
expect that in Sodom, Lickskillet,
Ticbville, and Doodle Hill, the
United States mail will drive up to
every mans door and deliver his
mail in person. Badinage aside
this experiment ought to have been
made long ago. The farmers pay
as much to mail their letters as
the town folks, and why should
