Exhibits From Cleora For Coun-
tyFair. Ginnery Overhauled.
New Residences.

We have been in suspense for the
last week for fear the gale would
strike our late crops and blow them
down, which would have ruined
them, but as it has passed without
doing them any harm we feel re-
lieved.
The cotton in the neighborhood
is looking fine now but with an
early frost would be cut very short.
Corn is very good except that
planted early which is very poor.
Mr.. w. T. Reel has had his gin
merry outfit overhauled and put in
good shape for ginning this crop. 1t
will be run by Mr.. John Seigler.
Mr.. T. A. Williams is arranging
to add to his residence. We guess
by this he is going to add to his
household.
Mr.. l.. R. Brunson, Jr., has NOV
ed his saving outfit below Red Hill
on Mr.. w. w. Adams place to cut
a big bill of lumber.
Mr.. Hubbard Williams is run
ming his planer every day dressing
lumber, and is getting more than he
can do.
Mr.. R. w. Christian contem-
plates building a new residence out
on the public road some time soon.
Mrs. Fannie Brunson has been up
from Aiken on short visit.
Mrs. Wallace Tompkins is stay
ing with her father, Mr.. A. L.
Brunson, for awhile.
The Brunson school house is un-
dergoing some repairs to be ready
for the fall term.
Mr.. P. w. Cheatham is adding
another room to his residence. This
neighborhood will be represented
at the county fair this fall better
than last. Several parties are speak
ing of taking stock down.

Reunion of Men of '76.

The Advertiser approves most
heartily. the spirit that prompted
the organization several years ago
of the men who wrested the Ship of
State from "Carpet-bag" rule in
1875 and forever established white
supremacy in South Carolina. In
the language of Milton,
Peace hath her victories
No less renown'd than war"
And certainly the victories of 1875
were won by men who were as brave
and patriotic as any who ever un-
sheathed sword on the battlefield.
1t i meet and proper too that
these sterling citizens of South Car
.olina who wore the Red Shirts in
10 should come together in their
annual reunion. Columbia has been
chosen as the place for holding the
reunion this year and the date Sc
lected is September 26th and 9th.
: Edgefeld county stood first and
foremost in. the struggles of '76 and
those of.our citizens who wore lhe
Red Shirts should see to it that
Edgefeld is we'll represented in the
reunion in Columbia. The rail-
roads have granted very low rates
for the occasion.
Those who contemplate attending
should communicate with Ex-Gov.
J. G. Sheppard. He can furnish
any information that may be desir-
ed concerning the reunion.

Did you ever see cotton open more
rapidly than it has this year, in spite of
the unfavorable atmospheric conditions?
The clears" will use this as being in
dicative of large yield. But the real
reason is the early maturity of the
