After many hand shakes and

they will make their future home
and where there was a sumptuous
dinner served at 8 p. M. The din

with such genuine hospitality by
Mrs. G. C. Mayson and others
that it will be indelibly inscribed

The bride was one of Green

Mass Meeting Called.

Feeling that Edge6eld should
lend every assistance and CO.
operation possible to Congress-
man Patterson in his efforts to,
secure an appropriation for q
government building for this
place, some of our citizens.haVe
deemed it wise to cali a mass
meeting for Friday afternoon at
4:S0 o'clock in the court house,
in order to discuss the matter and
take some definite action. Aboe-
vile, q town very little larger and
of no greater Importance than
Edgefeld, has secured a $4,000
appropriation, then why can lot
this town likewise secure govern
mens funds. Attend the mass
meeting Friday afternoon, and
lets offer every possible assist
ance to Congressman Patterson.

Beautiful Home Burned.

It was with deep regret that the
friends of Mr.. Henry G. Miller
in Edgefeld learned on. Friday
last that hiaelegantnew residence
near Trenton had been destroyed
by fire. Mr.. Miller was alone IN.
the house, Mrs. Miller and little
Henry Clay being in Winnsboro,
and was awakened by the fire
about four O'Clock Friday morn
ing just before portions OF the
building began TO fall. Besides
being one of the hahdsomest
homes in the county, it was very
beautifully furnished throughout.
Almost the entire contents per-
ished with the building. Mr.. Mil
.ler carried insurance to the
amount of $4,000 on The building
and household effects, but his
loss will be very heavy.

The Farmers Union.

According to appointment a
faithful few of the members OF
the Farmers Union met in the
court house on Monday. Hon. W.
B.. Parks, the president, presided.
But for the pressing need of the
heads of the farms at home at
this season, the attendance would
have been larger. No business of
especial Importance was transact
ed on Monday, the general condi-
tions that obtain being informally
discussed. The Advertiser ad-
mires and commends the loyalty
of the few who attended, among
them could be seen some of the
best citizens III the county. The
next meeting will be held on the
first Monday in May. This being
the day set for the county Demo-
ratic.convention, the attendance
upon the union will doubtless be
larger. Politics, as we'll as money,

Hon. W. R. Parks was in Edge
field on Monday attending the
regular monthly meeting of the
Farmers Union, and told US of
the great inconvenience that
Parksville is suffering oD ceount
of the closing of the telegraph
office at that place. They can
communicate by telephone with
some parts of the outside world
but are deprived now altogether
of connection with Augusta. The
matter has been reported to the
railroad commission and it is
probable that the Parksville Office
will be re-opened in short ii ime.
The western Union Telegr aph
company should be required to
furnish satisfactory service to the
people of that town and vicinity.
