On Friday last, little William,
the eldest son of Hon. aid Mrs.
J. VIM. Tburmond, was kicked
over the right eye by mule. The
blow was q severe and painful
one, but vas not attended by any
serious results. He was carried at
oucs to a physician who took
several stitches and dressed the
wound. The little fellow is doing
nicely. The friends Of Mr.. aud
Mrs. rburmond rejoice with them
in. that their child was not se-
riously injured.

Unquestionably the largest hog
that has been slaughtered IN
| Edgefeld county was killed by
Mr.. S. w. Gardner who lesides in
the southern portion of the coun-
ty. This hog weighed 442 pounds
net. And besides this large one,
Mr.. Gardner killed several that
netted 800 pounds. This gentle
|man..is one of the few farmers who,
as the expression goes, "lives at
home and boards at the same
place." Not only does he make an
abundance of everything at home
to supply his own table, but be
sells large quantities during the
year. Some persons may wonder
how Mr.. Gardner has saved such
large meat this mild winter. The
secret of his success is in using an
abundance of salt. Some use salt
very scantlly, consequently lose
.lmuch of heirzm IS
The national Temperance
League Of Japan in annual con-
veution recently at Yokomam anna
adopted the following: "That the
convention send greetings to the
Hon. William Jennings Bryan,
and hereby express sincere ap-
probation of the firm stand he
took for the cause of Temperance,
while in Japan year ago, by re-
fusing to drink wine at banquets
and by wearing our temperance
badge in public, thus showing his
staunch championship of the
great temperance movement in
the world" Mr.. Bryan is one man
who is prominent in the eyes OF
his countrymen who is not afraid
to condemn whiskey drinking at
public functions.-Orangeb
