Hon. j. w. DeVore and Hon. B;
E. Nicholson returned to Edge.
Geld.cn Saturday to pursue the
sven: tenor of their ways, after
forty days Of close application to
legislative duties.
The March term of court vii
last for three weeks. The entire
first tweek will be consumed with
criminal business, and the secono

The pittance that Confederate
veterans have received in the
form cf pensions will be slightly
increased this year. The legisla-
ture very. properly increased the
pension fund-from $225,OOO to
$3.50, 900, of which amount the
sum of SIS 900 has been set apart
to provide artificial Limbs for the
veterans xho need them.
Some Of the young ladies of the
town have resurrected or re-or-
ganized their tennis club. Besides
being delightful sport, there is no
more health-giving outdoor ex-
ercise than tennis. Now that the
college boys are; beginning to
twirl the base ball, the college
girls will have to form their ter
mis- and basketball clubs.
We. were pleased to learn
one of the leading mer-
chants of Edgpfeld few days

occupations, need all the help
they can get at this tine.

mule or horse?: We see some one:
horse wagons loaded with three,

3 tor: lis too much for one horse
Or mule to pull for a distance of
fifteen miles over Edgefeld roads.
The roads are firm now and in the
main very good, but there are
steep hills to climb. Nothing is
gained by overlooking stock.

IN off the road to spend, several
days'a his old home before going
