Hesvy north winds in February in
dicate good fruit year.

why HAS uO dppOlulIueuI VI. mag
istrates been made for Edgefield coun-
ty as yet? These appointments have
been made in several counties; in
Bar nwell, however. we notice that the
matter has been left to primary cleo
tion in the different magisterial dis
tricts.
Johnston has began her first kinder
garten boarding school and the char
ter boarder is Master Hollingsworth
little 4 year old son of Mr.. and Mrs

Cor. Augusta Chronicle.
Sam Colgan has delivered his first
installment of silver plated goods and
they are beautiful. Somebody told
Sam that the "ADvERrIzER 'cused his
silver of being pewter" This is mis-
take. What the ADVERTISER did say
was that Sans goods were heavier
than pewter, and. therefore, could not
be pewter. Sam says we ought not to
have had the word pewter in it at all
IF somebody don't see after getting
Edgeield's quota of pension money for
the old soldiers something is going to
drop on somebody's toes, but whose
business is it to see after this matterP
1t strikes US that it is the special busi-

are we here for if not to work in our
own interest?
The General Assembly paid visit
to Winthrop (pay going on all the
time), will visit Charleston this week
(pay goilg on all the timeJ, and we
conclude the obstinacy with which the
members of the august body refuse to
fix the time for adjournment must be
due to the fact that they want an "in-
vite" to the Inauguration of Mckinley,
free ride to Washington and back
pay going on all the time.
Did you ever stop to think that it
was greatly to your interest to have
your work done at home instead of
sending it to the citya Why, you ask.
Because you get just as good work,
get it cheaper, and then the dollars
and cents you pay for the work remain
in your town. But if you send your
work and money to some other town it
is gone and will not come back. 1t is
money in your pocket then to have
your job work done at The Advertiser
Job Office. See!
Type writer's are getting so common
that few business letters
or legal documents are written with
the pen. Limited TO this use the type
writer is very good thing, but moth
ing could be more ine)egant than to
use it to write letters of love or friend
ship, or in correspondence with per-
sons whose age or exalted position de-
mands the delicate flattery Of letters
written in ones own handwriting.
Queer Victoria has never become re-
ooncilad to the use of the type writer,
even for official documents, and re-
quires all papers that come TO her for
to be written with pen and
ink.
Dominic II, was one of the old time
circuit riders, whose rough exterior
and somewhat non-society ways often
obscured his real goodness of heart.
One day he was caught In a shower in
Illinois, and going 80 rude cabin near
by, he knocked at the door. A sharp
looking old dame answered his sum-
mons. He asked for shelter. 81 don't
know you," she replied, suspiciously.
Remember the .Scriptures," said the
dominic. "'Be not forgetful to enter
tain strangers, for thereby some have
entertained angels unawares.' "Yon
need not say that" quickly returned
the other; "no angel would come down
here with big quid of tobacco in his

the good old man to the mercy of the
rain and his own reflections.
