More than twenty 2ew subscrib-
ers were added to the ADvERTIs-

We are greatly indebted to our
pretty young friend, Miss May
Walker, of Pleasant Lane, fer
box of very nice apples and cher
ries. So long had it been since
we last saw any cherries that we
were about to believe that Master
George Washington extermina' ed
them when he cut down that
famous tree.
1t will pay you to read the
new locals of Mr.. &. E. May.
They mean money in the
pockets of those who will read
and heed them.
Mr.. S. T. Hughes, of Trenton
has more oats than the famous
Carter had. On one of his farms
near Trenton, which is superinten-
ded by Mr.. Ed Colgan, one field of
ten acres will, it is conservatively
estimated, yield 1000 bushels all
average of 100 bushels to the acre.
Mr.. w. D. Holland, who saw them
with his own eyes, says that he
never bsheld such a sight before.
The charter of the town of Tren
ton, having expired the citizens
complying with the law, held an
election on Tuesday last to decide

was decided without dissenting
ballot to apply for d new charter
which has been done through the

Two very handsome young sons

NJ. Bell and D. N. Dorm, of Parks.
Vile, sons of our esteemed friends

Dorm, respectively, graduated from
Furman University with honorE
last week. They made splendid
records for themselves. The
Greeuville News published theil

of their achievements during theil
university term. These young
gentlemen are well equipped fo,
the battle of life and, mark it, they
will not be as dumb driven cattle
but heroes in the strife.
The ADVERTISER publishes
the cards of 7 representative
citizens who announce them

in alphabetical order they are
{. as follows: M Bell, Jr.,

county would not be ashamed

kindly consideration of the
people. Would that there
were seven vacancies?
