Within the past few days meal IN
our town has advanced to $l.40 sack
and flour has gone up 81 per barrel.
This rapid advance is said to be due to
the poor prospects for these two cereals
in the West. Edgefield doesn't care
much, however, for she has enough
whest already saved to do her and
enough corn dodgers in sight.
There is a farmer living within four
miles of Newberry who never bought
