Our Editor is absent-on a visit to

The dwelling of Mr.. B. P. Coyar was
struck by lightning on Thursday after
noon last during the thunder storm OF
that day, but not materially damaged.
Mr.. Clint Covar was in the house at
the time at the end most distant from
the part struck by the bolt and escaped
unharmed.
McLaurln and Evans and Irby and
Duncan and Mayfield will all be here
to-morrow,-and, so far as we know,
may. have "monkey and parrot time"

and see and hear the campaign edu-
Gators, and join in the melee of fun
and frolic, and fisticuff-if any.
Augusta is noted for her hotels and
private boarding houses, and among
the best is the Busch House, located at
COL Broadway. The location is con-
venient one for Edgefield people, the
fare is excellent, rooms delightful and
charges only 500 q day, with big dis
count for a longer time. Try the Busch
House.
On the fourth Saturday in this month
the various camps of Confederate
Veterans in Edgefeld county will
erect and dedicate at Chestnut Hill
Church monument to the memory of
Mrs. Lucinda Horne. The day will be
made q memorable one and we hope
some kind friend will send us an ac-
count of the days proceedings for pub
lication.
The Edgetield Institute is without a
principal. There never was a better
opening for the building up of high
school or college than is now offered
in our town. An aspiring young man
of capacity and up-to-date in educa-
tional matters, could make wonder
full sucsess'here in Edgefeld. In days
that are passed this was an educational
centre patronized from all parts of the
country. Why not again?
Mr.. Robert II. Minis, of our town, in
former days noted horticulturist and
who still takes great interest in such
matters, has shown US a peach, of his
own raising-a Seeding of the famous
"Chiness Cling"-which comes earlier
Dy two or three weeks than that va
riety and Is wonderfully sweet, juicy
and well favored. Mr.. Minis has sent
specimens to Mr.. P. j. Berckman Of
Augusta, and to Mr.. A. Horne, of the
Ridge Spring Nurseries.
Capt. n, G. Evans is farmer right,
and is hard to down when the cotton
question is being agitated. He was
showing some full grown bolls on the
9TH, and said they were to he found
all over his Gary place-in the largest
as well as IN the smallest fields. Eyl-
IDENTIFY CAPT. George will be sin the
swimp again in the early fall-as usu-
al. He says very emphatically that

we are very much of his opinion.
Mr.. E. B. Hart, our prominent and
esthetic dealer, in Clothing and Gents
Furnishing Goods, is eff for Harris
Lithia Springs, for much needed rest
and recuperation. In the meantime
Tom Lanham will remain at his post,
and the bargains he will offer will
dazzle and bewilder you. Tom says
he is boun1 to make raise whilst
Boss Edgar Is away, and will do it if
he has to sell below cost. Now is the
time to give Tom call.
For the last several days we have
been blessed with seasonable showers,
and the crops generally are about as
good as heart could wish. In some
sections Of the county though, we re-
gret to learn. there has been little or
no rain in from TWO to four weeks
and consequently there the crops have
suffered materially. Be patient, suf-
fering brothers, and be hopeful-ever
remembering that the Good Lord
sends the good rains alike on the un-
just as well as On the just. Yes, hope
On, hope ever-and later on you toe
will receive the "latter ra,n' in abun
dance.
