Dear Sir: write to say that /
am a native of Edgefeld District,
spent my child, boy and young
MANHOOD near Coleman x Gross
roads in the northeastern portion
of the district and moved to Texas
over forty years ago.
The Advertiser was the first
newspaper 1 ever remember read
ing or seeing. I read it for years,
both in South Carolina and Texas.
am now all old diseased, broken
down and crippled Confederate
soldier, and have no way to make
any money, but would be greatly
pleased if you will send me the
Advertiser occasionally, or regu-
larly, as I still like to hear the
news of my native State.
Many of the papers in Texas and
other States send us their papers
regularly and which is highly ap-
preciated and there are other Caro-
linians here at the G. S. Home who
will be as we'll as myself extremely
grateful 10 you for your paper
regularly, etc. Hoping that you
will comply with my request and
that I will in due time receive tine

Mr. w. Gaines of the Augusta
Chronicle was in the city on
Saturday and in addition to work
ing for his paper is enthusiastic
in his efforts to build the Augusta,
Edgefeld, and Newberry road.
He told us if certain legal
technicality was out of the way
the road would be built. We hope
that Col. George Johnstone, the
vice-president, will 60 to work to
remove the tecbnicality and that
within twelve month we may
have trains running between
Newberry and Augusta via Saluda.
This road is almost graded and
the Cumberland Gap would furnish
the rolling stock. From what we
gathered from Mr.. Gaines if the
road bed could be secured the road
would be built.-Newberry Herald
