f. The ladies of Horns Greek
church realized thirty odd dol
lars from the sale + their dinner
on Saturday last.
Among the guests in attendance
upon the Lawton-BoYkin wedding
none were more cordially greeted
| than were Mrs. G.. P. Cobb and
Miss Sue Sloan from Johnston.

We.notice with pleasure that
at the recent election of officers
of the 'Euphradian literary socie-
ty of the South Carolina college
our young friend Buist Anderson
was elected literary critic. Buist
is a hard student.and is making d
splendid record at college
There will be a union thanks
giving service in our. Presbyterian
church on Thursday afternoon to
which everybody is cordially invi-
ted. Certainly our people have
much for which they should rem
der thanks, an: we trust that they
will attend this service which will
be made very interesting.
Mrs. J. 2. Haltiwanger, after a
very pleasant .aojourn of six
weeks in New York with ber ais
ter, returned on Thursday last.
Her many friends, as well as
homefolks greatly missed her
during the long absence and have
greeted her very cordially upon
her return.
Those who have money to in
vest in real estate can find no
better time to make the invest
ment than right now. The coa-
sensus of opinion is that all agri-
cultural lands will steadily ad-
vance in price. In this issue we
advertise valuable lands for sale.
Fourtracts of the Bettis estate
will be sold.
Mark our prediction. 1t will not
be many months before Mr.. j. l..
Addison will be in the employ
ment of the Southern as regular
conductor. While Capt. Rice was
off. duty several days last week
entertaining friends and relatives
who attended the Lawton-Boykin
wedding Capt. Addison discharged
the duties of conductor on the
Gap road very acceptably.
It seems that marriage liberates
the compressed feet of some Ia
dies. We. know of a lady (and she
resides less than. mile from our.
sanctun, too) who wore mber
two shoes ibeforeih her marriage and.
wears number five shoes now
Girls, show your good sense by
wearing fves now. Do not wait
till after you marry (you might
have to wear twos too long).
z Iu the court proceedings of our
last issue we through error omitted
the name of E. 81. Folk, Esq, as
one of the attorneys for the ex-
ecutors of the Budwell estate. Mr..
Folk was one of the first attorneys
employed by the executors of
this handsome estate and he has,
an is his wont, managed ex-
ceedingly we'll all of the bust
ness that they have entrusted to
him.
We have beep requested by Mr..
John NJ. Mays, chairman Of the
Federal election commissioners,
to announce that the managers,
clerks and commissioners of the
Federal election can get the
amount due them for services
rendered by calling at the Bank
of Edgefeld. Urging them to do
so is unnecessary, for they are
certain to make a run on the bank
as soon the above intelligence
reaches them.
While at Red Hill on Saturday
last We met Mrs. Carrie lowers
who is principal of the Red Hill
school. Mrs. lowers is all exceed
ingly competent teacher. and the
patrons of the chool are cogni-
zant of her real worth as q teach
er and appreciate what she is do
ing for the intellectual develop
ment Of thoir children. Mrs. Jow-
ers is ably assisted by Mrs. Wal
ker who is also very efficient
teacher and has had large expert
ence.
We do not remember ever to
have ssen accounts OF so many
ginneries being burned before as
have been destroyed thisssfall. Uu-
fortunately, too, none of them
