The sale of the Gray farm in
thu suburbs of our town has been
previously annoulced in error.
In point of fact there had been
no sale of the farm till Monday
last when Mrs. NJ. C. Gray sold
it t. Mr.. NJ. D Lyon. This is q
valuable piece Of property and Mr..
Lyon will still furthur enhance
the valuable by making many
improvements.
The committee appointed to fix

We would not miss the figures
far 10 say that millions of bushels
of cotton seed are cold each sea-
son on the Edgefeld market. Our
buyers pay the highest market
price which draws the seed from
a great distance. Mr.. Iaylcr, who
has been one office leading buy
ers for a number of years, bought
and shipped seven car loads of
seed last week. This means much
to our town. Nearly all of the
cash that is paid out for Sc ID is
spent with the local merchants,
but little of it being paid on guano
oi bank notes.

Tie members of our Pfesbyte-
rian church, who make up in
quality what they lack in num-
bers, are to be congratulated upon
the beautiful appearance of the
interior of their church. After
ceiling overhead and renewing
the plastering on the walls the
com mittee in charge had all Of
the rews beautifully stained. Now
they will not rest till the exterior
of the church has been painted
alss. The beloved pastor, Rev. 7,
P. Burgess, has done and is doing
a splerd work in this field.
Mr.. w. L. Dunovant has haul
ed more seed cotton to the gin
and DR.. J. G. Tompkins has haul
De more hay to his barn than any

before. So continuously did the
formers wagon haul cotton 70 the
gin last week that some one re-
marked TO us: Surely Mr.. Duno-
want has been buying seed cotton.
He didn't make al of that cotton.
DR.. Tompkins has housed enough
hay to establish sanitarium for
horses, having enough feed to
supply all the lame, halt aud
blind horses in the county.
1t was the writer's pleasure to
attend the union meeting at
Stevens Greek church on Sur day
last. There we met amid the
scenes of our boyhood days, many
relatives and friends who shall
ever be near and dear to US. In
the forenoon we heard some very
appropriate talks by laymen, and
o very earnest. and forceful Ser
mon on state missions by Rev. P.
P. Blalock. In the afternoon Rev.
G. H. Burton conducted the SER

on earth, served a delightful din

mission was passed very plea
