Mrs. Ellis Graydon, of Abbe-
Vile, visited last week in Edge
field at the homes of Mrs. Ella S.

Esq Her visit would have been
prolong' d but she was summoned

glnia, who is quite sick al female

In The sandy SECTORS of The
county plowing has already be-
gun. It is to be hoped, however.
that those residing III the clay re-
gions will not, in their eagerness
to begin the preparation for large
acreage in cotton, begin too early
blowing their lands before they
are dry enough.
A very artistic new curtain has
been painted for the opera house
by Mr.. McNair, whose headqnar-
ters are in New York. A vivid re.
production of the battle of Mapilla
adorns the centre, and sundry
business cards have been painted
in very conspicuous and catchy
manner around it. Upon the whole
the curtain is very novel and at
tractive one.
One of the most hourishing Sun
day schools in the county is held
at the mill chapal On Sunday
afternoon last, despite the fact that
it was a very cold aud disagreeable
day, there were sixty nine scholars
present. Messrs. J. P. Couch,
Elijah Zimmerman, L L. Jackson,
j. T.. McManus, Mesdames Mamie
Griffin, A. L. Barker, A. p. Hol-
land, and Ida S. Sheppard and
others are doing a splendid work
over there.
We publish this week the pro-
gramme of the Union meeting of
the first division of the Edgefeld
Baptist association, which con-
venes with the Edgefeld Baptist
church on Saturday next. 1t is to
be hoped chat every church will
send full delegation. The greater
the number of delegates and visi-
tors IN attendance upon these
meetings the greater is the bene-
fit derived from them. A very
cordial invitation is extended to
all. Homes will be provided for
a large number of delegates.
