History of EdgefieId.

is now printed. The last pages
went through our presses this
morning. The people of Edgefeld
and Saluda should show their ap-
probation of the labors of MIR.
Chapman by buying out this edi-
ton at once. 1t is good work
aud a book that every man In
Edgefeld should possess. Only a
limited number have been printed,

Little Histories.
Messrs. D. a. Tompkins, of Char
lotte, N. c., and A. S. Tompkins, Esq,
of Edgefield, have gotten out a little
pamphlet entitled "The History of co.
K, 14th s. c. w." in honor of their late
lamented father, Capt D. G. Tompkins,
and as a memorial of the individual
members of the company who are dead,
and a loving tribute to those who sur
vive. A copy of this little brochure
will be placed in the hands Of every
survivor of Co. K. In our humble
Judgment this is the way to write the
history of the Confederate armies, not
iD heavy tones, by learned disquisi-
tion, and glittering generalities, but
by commencing at the fountain head
and following the little streams to the
bitter end. The company was the fonn-
tain head from which the armies
sprang and the history of the company,
the mother, the wife, the children
cherish, for it is the history of father,
son and husband.
Saluda's First Solicitor.
1t has been the delight of the
saluda people TO love and honor
the name of Tillman for the last
half a century. And when Col.
James 81. Tillman was appointed
to act as solicitor for :he first time
at tho first court held in Saluda
county, all were glad to see Salu-
da's history refec'ing so much
honor on "Uncle" George 'Tillman.
The establishing of Saluda county
was one of the first policies of this
statesman. Then to him belongs
the fatherhood Of Saluda county.
We all bless the day Saluda's eld-
est brother, in the person of Col.
James H. Tillman, stands as her
counsel in her first attempt to
mete out justice to her citizens.
The able way in which Col. Till
man dischargt d his duties as So
licitor ad Is another laurel to the
already rich crown of honor the
name of 'Tillman wears in Saluda.
Tillman's county and at the first
court ever hold in it Tillman's son
appears for the first time as the
States. prosecuting attorney.-Sa-
luda Advocate.
The Magnetic Healer.
Prof. J.J. Nichols, the wonder.
full healer without medicine, has
arrived. He is stopping with Mr.
NJ. A. Taylor, where he may be
consulted and where he will adj
minister treatment. We have not
space to print his testimonials.
which are great tributes to his
marvellous genius for working per-
manent cures. The Atlanta Con.
stitution, out of great number OF
other papers, says of him:
"The cures accomplished by Mr.
Nichols are truly wonderful. The
most painful and stubborn cases
of rheumatism, neuralgia, nervous
diseases, insomnia, female dis
eases, etc., yield to the simple
touch of his hand, and once they
