Hut Supper by the Baptist Ladles.
The Baptist Parsonage being very se
riously out of repair, the ladies ofthat
?congregation have determined upon giv
ing a Hot Snpp< r, in the hope of raising
a fund sufficient to have certain necessa
ry work done upon the said building.
And indeed it is ?o absolutely essential
that the Parsonage should at once be put
in order, lest the leaks-and breaks
and defects should require a mnch
larger sum hereafter, that the ladies de
sei ve al 1 praise and all encouragement
for their promptitude in the matter. In
deed if it were nojL ibr the women of the
land-as we have often before remarked
-there would now' be few churches or
parsonages standing in the South. And
when weak women so bravely do what
ought, by right, to lie done hy strong
men, it behooves tho said strongmen to
at least stand by them-to the amount of
their personal presence and a few paltry
cents. This is the plain truth, and there
is no getting round' i?, let men talk as
egotistically sa they may-and as is their
wont.
The ladies will give their Supper on
Tuesday night of next week, October
-5th, is: Afasonie Hail. And lhere is to be
no ra rh m g nor lottery work. Beyond
the cheap allurements of such little in
stitutions as a Post Office, a Fish Pnrul,
and a Fortune Teller, there "will be no
invitation to undue outlay. The ladies
will charge 50 cents admission fee ; and
for this, each one of their patrons will
get a very handsome supper both of sub
stantials und dainties, in fact a supper of
everything on the tables. Nothing but
Ice Cream will l>e extra. And now the
public know exactly what to expect.
And if they do not patronize these la
dies very generously indeed, the more
shame lo them. And as regards the
quality and quantity of tho feast--if
those requirements bo anything to peo
ple-and we suppose they aro to a great
many-no one in Edgefield need be told
that they will be far above ani%beyon<1
all cavil. Be present, therefore, on Tues
day evening, and consider it a privilege
to contribute your mite to so gc
cause.
Robinson's Circus at Johnston.
Persons from our town who happened
at Johnston on'Saturday last, thought
that old John Robinson's Circus had ar
rived at that place.; and they at once
made a rush for what they took to he thc
ticket wagons-the crowd around being
so large and so dense that their \ islrin
could not possibly pierce through But
what was their surprise to (ind that in
stead of old John Robinson's Circus, it
was simply yoting L. B. Whatley's Store
-whete you can lind everything in the
world-and everything at a bargain.
Yes, Mr. Whatley is drawing** costr.nl
equal to old John Robinson's. Ho has
Dry Goods, and Clothing, and Notions,
and Bo-its, and Shoes, and Hats, and
Groceries, and General Plantation Sup
plies. And he pays tho highest market
pi ice for cotton. And he is an handsome
and generous a 3'oung fellow asr ever
lived. And whoever does not attend the
Robinson- Whatley show at Johnston,
stands in his own light. Read Mr. What
ley's large card ia another column.
Keeping: Up the Rush at Trenton.
Mr. J. B. Norris, as may be seen by
bis announcement in anothe.- column,
continues to nish "the Dry Goods busi

they can possibly be, while his gootl
of the first quality. His new stock for
the fall and winter trade is endless, and
he solicits the patronage of the?ountry
at large, a great share of which he is
lound to secure if buyers will call on
him and note his prices before purchas

A New Fashion.
'J wo bouquets are worn on the cor

other at the neck also on the left side,
diigb and far back.
A Fashion Not Quite New
Wide belts of saddle girth canvas, fas
toned with straps of leather and buckles,
are worn with allsm tsoi d mi-toiletcos
t urnes.
Another New Fashion
Very young ladies have adoplod the
fashion ol' wearing forge embroidered
and lace trimmed collara, just like those
worn by small children. Sixteener* and
sevonteeners can therefore now mount
the pretty bibs heretofore worn only hy
little tiny girls. We have seen a box of
beautiful ones lately from Ehrieh's in
New York.
The Injun !
As we predicted last week, Chief Bil
ly Mays of the Coopersville tribe, was
one of the sensations of Campaign day
It was a pleasant change from the mo
notony of the red shirts; for the red
shirt isa mighty old thing now in Edge- I
field. And especially was the eft'ect j
powerful upon the young. We have four
little grandchildren, all of whom ?ere
present ; and when we went to give
them a glass of lemonade, we fon nd
them transformed into four stone statues
with open mouths and glariug eyes,
hopelessly and peruiaueutly petri li ed.
Tho oldest ono gasped out convulsively:
'.The Injun !" And then relapsed into
ll inly stone. And they are still perfect
ly rigid !
Gen. Gary at Oakley Park.
Oar distinguished townsman, Gen. M.
\V. Gary, after a two months sojourn in
Virginia, is again at his beautiful home,
Oakley Park ; and the hand-shakings and
warm greetings that welcome him on all
sides, prove how deeply he lives in the
love of our community. Andwboknows
but that tho grand outcome of this long
larry at White Sulphur ma}' be a lair
mistress for Oakley Park ? God grant
it may be so. However, when George
Elliot outs thc caper at sixty, and Lady
Burdette Coutts at sixty-five, our friend
has many years yet in which trw! ?sport

Duty! %
On campaign day we met our honored
Dark Corner friend, Capt- Press Black
well, in the crowd, looking very pale
and wearing green goggles. We soon
discovered that he was perfectly blind
ami in great pain, from the effects ol ihe
HOI?', ryes which are so prevalent just
now. We lcd him to a seat and said to
him: "Press, what in the name of God
did you come out to day in such a lix as
this for ?" And he said : ''Well you see,
Jim, 1 thought it was my duty to come
on' on such an occasion as this ; so 1 got
up and r sked it." This is certainly a
line example of party faith.
Novel and Noble Beneficence
A young gentleman, a friend and pat
ron of Mr Jumes M. Cobb, has lodged
with that popular merchant a bale of cot
ton, with the request that ho sell it to the
b3st possible advantage, and distribute
the proceeds among the three resident
clergymen of our community And in
conformity with Ibis request, Mr. Cobb
begs us to announce that he will sell the
said bale at public outcry, hi front of his
store, on Saturday morning next, at ll
o'clock. And now, cotton-buyers of ?
Eigelield, come forward and evince your
appreciation nf this beautiful beneficence
by seeing that this bale-consecrated as
it were-brings a good deal'inore than an
ordinary one. Do this that you maj'
share with Ihe donor, of the bale in the
sweet promise: "Inasmuch as ye have
done it unto one of (he least of these, ye
have done it unto me "
The Railroad and the Advertiser.
Tho road bed of the Edgelicld, Tren
ton and Aiken Railroad has nearly reach
ed Bauskett's Mill, on Shaw's Creek,
about six miles from Aiken, and the
stockade will be moved lhere, perhaps,
this week. It is expected that the road
will reach Aiken in a few months. This
road will connect the town of Rdgefield
with tho network of railroads in the
State and contribute materially in the
business advantages of that live place.
With a railroad and a first-class newspa
per like the Advertiser any town should
prosper. -HeyMer.

The Langtry-Jersey.
And you must pronounce it Jamey.!
A young lady relative of ours who has
just returned from Canada writes us thal,
being peculiarly English, they areal! the
rage in Toronto, Montreal and Quebec,
and will soon be all tiver the country,
.lie says they lit li ko a merino undervest
thal is much tSo smell. And we copy
the following from the Paris correspond
ont of Harper's Bazar:
'.These garments, the Langtry Jersey
boddiees, are made by Hie manufacturer's
of tigbt-< designed for dancers. For tho
winter tho matth i'd will be made in all
colors and will bo richly embroidered
willi heads of jet. or in colors, and tho
embroidery will be so disposed BS to aim
il I ate either the scales or the plate of the
cuirasses formerly worn by armed
knight--. The .Jerseys are ma le by spe
cial uienxnremeiit ol' the figure and can
not be obtained everywhere. They de
scend rather low and inclose the hips
lightly. Their (unction is to display the
figure as fully as possible. This is the
most objectionable featuroof this fashion,
and I am afraid that it is just this feature
which has charmed the Indies ol fashion.
These Jerseys ure worn with all kinds
ol' skirts."
Voting for His Exec tor
' The Trenton correspondent of tho Reg
ister, describing lin Jifl^ft??n meeting
ol' last week, writes iftBBIWP
.' Alter the last named gentletnan had
concluded, tho air rang with 'Butler!
Buller! Butler!" The General tried to
excuse himself, as he was at bAie, but
he couldn't come that dodge They came
to hear him, and were not going home
without it. No people ever loved a man
as Kdgeliold loves Butler. As somebody
saul about some body else, ' We will keep
ou voting for him for United States Sen
ator until he dies, and (hen vote for his
executor."
A Regular Old Red Hot

Sorghum for the Million
And speaking of the Ninety Six sec

Hemy Mays, or was it William, who
passed through our town a few days
back on his way from Augusta-with a
lovely new bugg}'from Day, Tannahill
<fc Co.-fresh from Fred. Smith'? brother
in N w Haven. But it is not the buggy
we set out to speak of. On the con'rary
it was tho einpt3T barrels and hogsheads
we saw our young friend purchasing
from Mr. Lynch-a wagon load of them.
At first the impression crept into our j
mind that the handsome boy was going
to become a moonshiner-an illicit dis
tiller of corn juice-but upon gently!
querying him, he staggered us with the
information that he had ten acres of sor
ghum, and was about to begin to boil it
