Every time John Carpenter comes to
Edgefeld he pays for his paper. AS
consequence ne never had the tooth
ache in his life, never had corns, it
never rains on his fodder before he
hauls it up, the minks never bother
his chickens, and the frost never kills
his beans. What we have said about
John Carpenters also true, and for
the same reason, of Oscar Burnett, and,
in addition, Mr.. Burnett uever fails to
get good stand of cotton. This last
good fortune is due to the fact that he
lives nearer to the ADVERTISER office
than Mr.. Carpenter.
