Married, Sunday, July 2, at Johnston,
Mr.. Warren f. Paul and Miss Lula
Hubbard.
Sam Taylor says that the Filipinos
are of the color of the under side OF the
leaf of the Unknown pea.
Marsupial is another lovely name
fora baby, they are, both the Marsu-
piaIs and the babies, so cunning.
Merchant J. A. Zimmerman has can
teloupes and tomatoes of this years
raising, his own raising at that.
The hail of last Thursday also did
much damage to the cotton, corn, pease
and garden of P. Brooks Mayson, Esq.
Mr.. Pierce Stevens, of Johnston, was
in town on Monday of this week IN at
tendance on meeting of the County
Board of Control.
Remember that we are only to build
the college, and President Bailey Will
do the rest, and more too, and that
"more too" means something.
"Bonaparte Crossing to the Philip
pine Islands," a banjo solo by Dick
Penn, is the latest and probably the
best on the Philippine question.
Mr.. Dich says that the hail OF last
Thursday knocked all the vines OFT OF
his watermelons, and that is certainly
the most logical way of expressing it.
Gov. McSweeney, in this issue OF the
ADVERTISER, offers reward OF SlUo
for the capture of the party or parties
who burned Mr.. Joe Johnson's barn
and stables recently.
Married, in Methodist church, john
ston, Thursday night, 2sth ult., by
Rev. Geo. 4. White, Prof. W.D. Hol-
land and Miss Mabel Wright, daughter
of the late 5lr. P. L. Wright, OF that
town.
We cannot afford to lose President
Bailey. Why he alone is worth $l5,ooo
to the town of Edgetield, to say moth
ing of the school house we propose 70
build, which will belong to the town.
Prof. Bailey will have out three men
during the vacation canvasslng the
State in the interest of the S. G. G. L.
Shall we sit here idle while he and
they work in our interest as much,
even'more, than their own?
Phocien de We're would be a lovely
name for a baby. Will some OF our
Edgefield babies get this very tony
handle to their sirname. This name
will suit either boy or girl. If you
call him Phocien he would be boy, IL
:. Deycre she would be girl.
Members of the Abner Perrin Camp,
U.C. ", are requested to meet in the
Office of Mr.. w. n. Burnett, Burnett's
building, on Friday, July 7th, at A.
NJ, for the purpose of electing dele
gates 20 the State Reunion, Confeder-
ate Veterans, July 2Sth.
"The more you put down the more
you pick up," is the way to reason
about college building for the S. G.
: c., and not only you and I, I,reader, will
pick up the dollars, but every citizen
of our town will pick 'em up-the only
trouble will be to ficd baskets and
hings to tote 'em in.
TIE put down one dollar and pick up
two, is that hardship, burden, tax?
Well that is just what our people will
be doing if they give President Bailey
a college bnilding suited to the uses
and demands of the S. G. c. 1 Can any
Edgefield taxpayer be disgruntled at
that kind of ''doing?"
And a number of our carpenters and
mechanics who probably would not pay
any tax towards building college
propose to give of their labor so much
and so many days work, which shows
not only their good sense, but their
patriotism, if love of ones town can be
socalled. Sam Taylor heads the ticket
with twenty-five dollars.
The hail of last Thursday afternoon
was very destructive on certain farms
of this vicinity. Mr.. w. n. Burnett
had twenty-five acres of cotton almost
denuded of leaves by it. Now, the
question is, will this cotton come out
aud make anything? The present out
look is against such a result. However,
old farmers say that such destruction
is only apparent and that fair crop
may be expected from cotton thus 10
iured where the stalk remains intact.
President Bailey, if he has the build
ing given him, will double the attend
ance of the S. G. G.. I. next session. We
have no right to give away his meth
DDS, 1t suificeth to state that, they are
legitimate and succeed always. Let
US continue to show our faith in him,
and yet "faith without works is dead"
Give him room for expansion and
Edgefield will rival any town in South
Co
