Cupid says it is too unreasonable
for orange blossoms in Edge6eld
this June. That possibly accounts
for the fact that he has been con-
centrating his forces elsewhere.
The extremely crit jal condition
of Mr.. w. w. Adams has cast a
gloom over the entire community.
Our people are greatly depressed
On account of his hopeless condi-
tion.
The Advertiser has just few
bushels of Iron peas for sale at the
market price. We find that we
bought several bushels more than
we need. We always have to buy
seed as we can never have any pick
ed in town.
What will you do with the vast
acres from which you have just bar
vested oats? Before thirty days
pass nave another growing crop on
the land-either peas or corn.
Western corn and hay may be
higher next spring than last.
If those people in Augusta who
are conducting an excursion to
| Jacksonville this week had announc-
ed that the cold wave was headed
this way, they would have had
practically all of Edgefield on their
trains bound for Florida.
Time hangs heavy on the hands
of the soda water clerks. But we
rather suspect that they miss the
smiles of the young ladies more
than they do the nickels and dimes
that flow into the Golfers of the pro-

Little Eleanor Minis, the eight
year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
J. L. Minis, gave a birthday party

games and outdoor sport refresh
ments were served.
The people of Edgefeld are CRATE
full TO the Southern railroad for the
splendid passenger schedule that is
now maintained. Not only is the

of the three trains day each way
convenient, but the trains usually
make the schedules promptly.
Very soon the work of remodel.
ling the college building will begin.
The interior will be changed to suit
the needs Of the High School.
Edgefeld will have one of the best
equipments in the state for High
School and there is no good reason
why we can not also have school
that will be second to none.
The intelligence of the death of
Rev. Whiteford McKendree Dun
can, presiding elder of the Colum-

caused much genuine sorrow among
his friends in Edgefeld. He died at
bis home in Columbia Monday
morning and was buried in the
graveyard of the Washington street
church of that city.

fortunate in being able to secure
her. Three of Miss Dunovant's class

haired, and instinctively recognized
brother Scot Some within impelled
me to speak to him. At first, / am
sure, he imagined / was one of the
many city sharks he had read Of, but
a few sentences put him at his ease.
He was diffident at first, and it was
only after some coaxing that extract
ed the simple story Of his life before
and after he had come to America.
Ten years ago he had left his ma
tive village in Ayrshire to go to Can
ada, and he had prospered to such an
extent that he bethougft himself of
wife. His fancy turned to the old
country and he determined to ask a
girl to come out to the new land and
share his lonely farmhouse.
When he came, however, to making
his choice, he was in a quandary. He
had left home shortly after his school
days, and the memory Of his childish
playmates was somewhat faded and
dim. He could plainly see two girls;
one strong armed, red haired and
rosy checked, at mate for a farmer;
the other slim, dark and showing
promise of early delicacy. One was
Mary Johnston, the other Christina
Davidson, but he was doubtful in his
mind as to which was which. At
school he had never called them by
any other name than their nicknames
of Roosty-pow and Toosey-heid. from
the red hair of the one, and the tan
gled curls Of the other.
Finally he arrived at conclusion
and wrote home to Mary Johnston Of
fering her the shelter of his strong
arms and inclosing a substantial draft
for her expenses.
The boat was to come in next morn
ing. Sunday, and he left me early,
bidding me good night, with a sly
but sincere clasp of his great, hard
hand.
On Sunday, drawn by some idle
curiosity, / wandered down to the
dock. What would be the greet
ing OF this Scot -schooled to conceal
emotion?
He was the first person saw there
and he met me with an anxious, 81
lent smile. The boat was moOred and
its sides were lined with faces flll

Of hope and wistful wonder. He scan

lip nervously. Slowly, and then fast,
the passengers began to disembark.
The young farmers face was flushed
and he swayed from one foot to the
other. Suddenly ! heard him give a
low groan of anguish, and, clutching
my arm In grasp the pressure Of
which he did not realize, he whisper

Then he walked to the gangway,
