Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1905-08-09

Mr.! G. p. Cobb, Jonston's lead
ing dealer in furniture and all
kinds of vehicles, was in Edge
field Tuesday on business.
Col. and Mrs. John R. Tomp-
kins are expected to arrive in
Edgefeld to-day from Harris
Springs where they have been
spending several weeks.
Miss Nellie Ramsey, the daugh-
ter of Mr.. w. W. Ramsey, senior
member Of the firm of Messrs.
Ramsey & Jones, has returned to
Ter home in Augusta after a de-
lightful stay of one week among
us at the hospitable home of MIR.
and Mrs. B. B. Jones. By her
sweet and gentle disposition and
innate charm Of manner this
young lady made many friends
while in Edgefeld.
At the recent Farmers Institute
which was held in Edgefeld some
one, who had grappled with nut
grass for years without extermi-
Mating it, asked Prof. Newman,
the agricul!uralist of Glenn : q
college, what was the best metnod
of getting rid of the pest. His re-
ply was: "Nut grass is an inven-
ton of the devil and you will have
to 20 to him to find out how to
get rid of it,
There is no one who passes in
and out among US who holds
warmer place in the affections of
our people than does Capt. R. B.
Cain. He spent the greater portion
of last week in EdgeGeld, being
accompanied by his brother,
Scott Cain. This was Scott's first
visit to our city since he was a
student of the S. C. G. I. five
years ago. 1t is needless to say
that he was very cordially greeted
by his old friends.
Anything and everything that
possesses genuine merit and worth
is much sought after. This fact
was amply proven by the great
number of purchasers who offered
when Mr.. Ballowe expressed q
desire to sell his family horse.
The good qualities of this animal
had been observed and comment
ed upon by everybody, consequent
ly many desired to own it. Mr..
Beauregard TimmonA being the
first to drive a bargain, is the hap
py possessor of the Ballowe horse.
The dispeusary was discussed
at a Baptist union meeting in
EdgeGeId county last Saturday
betwt eli W. J. Talbert, j. w.
Thurmond, and several ministers.
Mr.. Thurmol.d favored the dis
pensary. 1t is rather a unique
proposition to find a MAJ stand
ing up in the church and defend
ing the dispensary because Of its
revenue features, but this is ex-
actly what Mr.. Thurmond did.

It's true" e."-Bamherg Herald.
Mr.. James B. Kennerly will be-
come knight of the grip on Sep
tember the 1st, travelling for
large Chicago shoe house, and
Messrs. Dorm & Minis have en-
ployed Mr.. w. Williams, who
is now with the Edgefeld Mercan-
title Company, to take his place.
Mr.. B. E. Zimmerman has been
employed by the Edgefeld Mer-
camille Company as salesman.
Mr.. J. l.. Cuthbertson has re-
turned to his home in North Car
olina and Mesers. Timmons Bros.

ling, from Greenwood county, to
fill the vacancy.
H. P. Brown, manager Of u large
mercantile company at Gourdin,
S. c., says that his little town has
been brought into prominence
through the agency of none other
than a negro woman, about 2S
years old, who yesterday startled
that community by giving birth
to four children, all Of whom at
last accounts were living. The
woman is the wife OF Louis Green,
who is to-day a much prouder man
than a policemen in a brand new
uniform. Mr.. Brown remarked III
telling of the remarkable fact, that
if such ia kept up the laboi ques-
tion in Gorudiu would be effect
ually solved-Florence Times.
