The latestentefprise.in Parksville
or that is being ag'itated in Parks,
vile, is a mammoth hotel on the
top of the mountain hill half
mile adjacentAthe highest point
possibly in Edgefeld except ,Boles
mountain. The hotel is to contain
four hundred rooms, more or less.
of course, situated on'this high peak
which has perfectly round top one
half mile north east. This magnih.
cent conception, with drives wind;
ing around the beautiful mountain,
is the thought of our enterprising
townsman, Mr.. w. W:Fowler, who
with his vast acquaintance north
and south feels that there will be
absolutely no trouble iii forming
a joint stock company to. consum-
mate the plans.
The health is good, the air salu-
brious, the scenery picturesque, and
altogether, so the doctors say, this
is most desirable as well as..beau-
tiful location for a tourist hotel than
Aiken.
And here comes the great Twin
Citv Power Company. Just this
morning, noticed several hundred
hands grading the railroad from
Modoc out to where the, great dam
is to be located. And this reminds
me to say that it is said. by experts,
that this huge dam will back water
80 miles forming an immense lake
upon which the tourists and visitors
from the mammoth hotel can amuse
themselves, boating, fishing, etc.
Won't this be perfectly grand?,
Parksville was honored Friday
by a visit from DR., Josh Beall, and
Jim Turner, of Blythe, Ga, who
were met by their erstwhile friend
and neighbor, Mr.. Jim Minor, of
Longmires, S. G.
Laugh and grow fat is the prov
erb, and / am sure if this is true we
have some much fatter people in
Parksville than before this visit.
DR.. Beall is whole souled and gener-
Gus and withal one of the best story
tellers in the two states. E[e made
us good talk in our B. Y. P. U.
last night. We invited our Georgia
friends, Beall and Turner and our
mutual friend Minor, who have all
grown immensely rich, to come
again and we promise them a cor
dial welcome.
Everything in Parksville, not
married, tried to marry, it seems to
me, even some old widowers who
went hobbling around with a girl
on their arms. Early in the morning,
the pretty daughter of Judge j. r.
Blackwell was married to Mr.. A.
S. Wilson, our efficient depot agent,
and scarcely had the congratulations
died away before Mr.. Winchester
Robertson of Modoc, led the beau
tiful daughter of Mr.. Rube Smith
to the hymeneal altar Two marri-
ages in one day! Eureka! We ex-
tend our warmest congratulations.
Yesterday, coroner Brpnson held
an inquest over the dead body Of
Georgia Ann Broad dwater who came
to her death by a gun shot wound
inflicted By her father-ia-llssw. A
week ago to-day Bill Broadwater,
the slayer, came home from Angus
ia drunk had a rowwith his family.
His .eighbor's son Bub ran over to
assist his mother and sisters. This
80 enraged Bill that he followed his
mis- son to his home hundred yards
away, stuck his shot gun in the
door firing, intending to kill his
son, but the sons wife caught the
entire load in her right arm, tear
ing it to pieces just below the 'houl,
der joint. DR.. d. A. j. Bell was
called who with his son Dan Al. am.
putated the arm near the joint. She
lived one week lacking one day and
died from septicemia. Bill has left
for parts unknown, but if he is
caught and tried my opinion is that
he will stretch hemp.
Don't forget the union meeting
of the third division of the Edge
field association which meets in
May at historic old Red Oak Grove
church We want the enGire Adver
tiser family to be present.
DON QUIXOTE.
