come along and saw your wood, but
that doesn't keep the fire going. The
way to get rich is to save money; and
THE way to save money is to trade at

We are Coming.
The first brick has been laid.
On Monday of this week just as the
rising sun was gliding the hill tops,
Mary Lille Fisher, the dainty and
bright little daughter of President
Fisher, laid the first brick in the con-
struction of the Edgefield Cotton Fac
tory, and the work goes bravely on
A large force of bricklayers and la
borers are at work and more are In

We are coming, Father Abraham,
one hundred thousand strong.

If you expect to build either awood-
en- or brick house, first write to w. j.

terial. You will be surprised at the
reasonable figures they will quote
you. Their advertisement will run in

read it and write them for a list of
their articles and prices.
Blessings TO Humanity.
April showers are blessing to the
honest yeomanry, because they insure
well-flled granaries with the good
things of the soil, but these are small
compared with the blessings that
Ramsey & Bud will bestow upon
their thousands of patrons who will
avail themselves of the low prices they
are Offering on Wagons, Buggies, Har-
ness, Furniture, Collins and Caskets.
Wind, Rain, and Hail.
,rhe wind storm that struck our
town on last Friday about half past
three seems to have done much dam
age III other portions of the county.

awe are getting along very pleasant

village church began last thanksgiv-
ing day an effort to raise the debt
which has troubled us for some years,
and am happy to say almost the en-
tire amount (about $400O0) has been
raised. The remaining balance is very
small and will be paid before many
months. Bro. j. NJ. Cobb has been the
principal leader in this movement.
On last Sundayiwe were very pleasant
ly surprised on uncovering the COM
munipn table to find beautiful $25.OO
commanion set, the gift of Mrs. j. NJ:

Circuit in Its present shape is small

"OId Tumblin."
Mr.. Fowler, superintendent of the
Cumberland Gap railroad under its
present regime, was in town last
week-a very pleasant gentleman. He
says the talk about tearing up the road
bed is all bosh, of course. that the
scbe dule will be regular from this time
on and that he hopes to make friends
for the road and do healthy, paying
business. This has been done in the
past, why not again? EIe also says that
all the r1mors, insinuation., and dou-
Ole back actIon slaps at aold TuDlblnp
and her fair fame are inventions of
the enemy and dance, with truth
as an occasional partner only, around
the single fact that, somebody wanted
to gobble somebody's else railroad and
failed.
And "old Tumblin" shall tumble no
more forever.
