Dr. Wilkins is one of the best and strongest preachers in the state, and we hope that the people of Edgefield will show their appreci tion by their presence. A Pleasant Occasion. On last Thursday evening the hospitable home of Capt. Sam M. Rice was thrown wide open to his gentlemen friends. A more beau tiful assemblage is often seen be cause the guest chamber contain ed the thorns without the roses. However, wit humor aud good cheer flowed merrily. Thus the evening hours were whiled awav almost as so many minut?e. Such a pleasant accasion will be a fond recollection t) those so fortunate as to be among the bachelor-gu-'Sts of the evening. Dr. B. Ti m mons. Mr. B. Timmous, who resumed bis studies iaat January* at the At lanta Medical College, is nowa full fledged graduate of the depart ment of Pbarmscv of that institu tion. He arrived in Edgefield on last Friday, having been absent from his family for uearly three months. Dr. Timmons-his de gree being Phar.D.-has been c fYer ed (our_rjr five postiions already, but has not yet decided where he will locate, ne will secure a State license by presenting his diploma to the Stale board of Pharmacy. Judging from the very creditable examination tbat Dr. Timmons pncsed he can compound prescrip tions thi>t wov.ld confouud many druggists. Watch the Ash Box. One scarcely scans the columns of a newspaper these dava wiibout peeing numerous accounts of dis astrous fires. For months the number of conflagrations and the losses incident thereto have been unprecedentedly great. The cou tinious drain upon the resourc-s of iusurauce companies has been so heavy that some small compan ies have been forced into liquida tion, while some of the large cum panips, though unimpaired have been forced to draw uponjtheir re serve funds. The premium rate being determined by the risk or loss, the insurance companies, as previously announced, have been forced to increase the rate 25 per cent on merchandise aud hazard ous risks. While the March wiuds blow with storm-l:ke madne?s and fury, often making the roofs as dry as tender, it? behooves evory one to look to the prevention of fires. The harmless ash box without a live coal in it, like the proverbial un loaded gun, is fraught with great danger, cssting individuals and in surance companies annually more than the highly combustible ma terials. The former is handled with gross carelessness, the latter with the utmost precaution. Watch the ash box, especially vi hen you think it contains no fire, it is ia sidious. Union Meeting.

Wolter Hill, in his 68tb year, passed from this earthly i phere .c his eternal home. Just the morning of his death, he had I walked on our s1 ree's, and talk ed with friends. Dr. Hill, in his tocial, com mercial, religious and profes sional relations, slood foremost as a citizen and as a Christian. For many years in the past, he had been the chief physician iu Rdgefiehl county and distin guished in ihe medical frater nity throughotjl the .-tale. Fur nearly a half century he bad ministered lo lbs physical clis ijesa ul' thousands of \? upJcand Dis name was a comfort and u benediction wherever it was [sounded. He had of late yr ar? given up the activo practice of medicine asa consequence of his age and failing health, but his numer ous friends, on account of his Fuccessful practice and i xperi err.e had since that time consti tuted him physician emeritus, and had called him in on many occasions of physical danger and emergency. One of toe mest successful physicians of our towt, has said ?since h;s death, that he feels it the loss of an experienced ad I visor and friend, one whoca he felt that lu- enid 1 ian cn in di lemmas.
