We take pleasure in calling the at
tention of our readers to the new ad-
vertisement of Ramsey & Bland in
this weeks issue of the ADVERTISER.
These gentlemen have been doing bu-
siness in our town and county for a
long time, as time goes, and their rep
utation for straight dealing, good
goods, and reasonable pricee has ex-
tended far beyond the limits of Edge
field and Saluda cnnties. Newberry,
Lexington, and .-obeville people come
to Edgetield or Johnston TO buy of
them, and day by day their patronage
become more extensive and wide
spread, a tribute not only to their own
worth but to the merit of the articles
they handle, If you need anything in
theie line, do not let advertisements Of
low priced stuff from Augusta or 9TH
er places deter you from calling to see
them. You will be astonished to find
how much you can buy for so little
right here in Edgefeld.

Jeweller Fox has this season sur
passed himself or anything he has ever
done in the lines of goods he carries.
See change in his advertisement and
above all see his store and goods, per-
feet Lalla Rookh bower of roses and

sense. In Edgetield when we say man
has "outfoxed Fox" we mean to say
he has filed the cup full, pressed down
and running over, that he rides on the
crest of the billows with his arms full
of the beautiful and useful, his heart
full of the milk Of human kindness, and
his hands and mouth full Of Huylars
astistic gems. The moral is, go to
Fox's?"

1t is so easy now to give an official
bond for the faithful discharge Of du-
ty through some one OF the various Sc
curity and Fidelity assurance compa-
nies that no officer-elect should think
of anything else. 1t is true such bonds
cost something but when given they
are worth the money they call for, un-
like those signed by individuals which
are worth dollars, may be to-day and
not cent tomorrow. Besides, bonds
signed by individuals are always con-
tested in case of defalcation, while
those given by these companies are
paid promptly. We are glad to know
that all our newly elected county Off
ciers will give such bonds.

that Sir Edward only referred 60 the dis

Britlan's claim 90 the territory as a whole
was not put forward without tho most
'areful consideration
There was reason TO believe no contin.
