LOCA? BREVITIES. Court week in March and no peach blooms yet. February had no full moon, but in March she gets full twice. Paris gardeners buy toads by the dozen to be used as insect destroy ers. There was plenty of ice on last Saturday and Sunday in this vicinity. The days are now getting longer at the rate of 2? minutes every twenty-four hours. The people of Plum Branch have " built a good school house, and they . now want a good teacher. Judge Witherspoon, our presid ing judge came over on Saturday, and ia stopping at Mr. Lynch's. There is no case on record of a man having oommitted a crime with a? pipe or ?igar in Ms mouth. After a girl washes her face she looks in the glass to see if it's clean, but a boy looks at the towel.

When we say that a person has good sense about most ? things, we mean, of-course, that about most things he "has the good sense to agree with UH. The new Lutheran Church at Leesville, was dedicated on Sun - day, Feb. 28th. This is the charge of Rev.- L. E. Basby, the distin guished educator. An old 1 )g house in Abbeville 1 county, which was built in 1762, and was used in the time of the revolutionary war. by the whigs as * a fort, Was burned down last week.

A few bushels of cotton seed, Pcterkiu's Cluster, for sale at the ADVERTISER office at $1.25 per bushel, or will exchange for ordi nary seed ? the rates of one for four. The indications are that Edge field county farmers are going to plant more cotton .than they did last year. They are going to plant more corn and make more meat, in other words they are going to try to get there with both feet,cotf on foot and corn foot. Mr. Andrew Gardner, who. lives on this edge of Cboty, makes a delicious catsup. He has a brand he calls the Tillman catsup, be cause, as he says, you can taste the "damn it" (red pepper) in it. It i s so, for he gave us a bottle of it and we tasted it strong. The... conclusion is now about foregone, that Edgefield too will have a Dispensary, a number of our citizens- who have Been op posed to this method of selling liquors, having concluded that a Dispensary which brings in a rev enue ia better than prohibition, a corporation tax, and a town full of "blind tigers." ?Jtf Read B. B. Evans'double column advertisement of his life insurance agency, in this issue of the ADVERTISER. The Union Mu tual Life Insurance Company, of which company Mr. Evans has the general agency for South Car olina, is one of the safest sound est, and best companies on the continent and presente some ad mirable features that no other company does. TheToccoa (Ga.) News relates the following: ,?A tall mountaineer walka?j iqtp a store the other ?lvy ftnei said to tfce ctef-fc : 'I want apme of the? thinnest syrup you un? ip got,' -Why do you want it thin?' inquired the clerk.

See School Com missioner Davenport's advertise ment elsewhere in this paner. An Illinois newspaper, in sum ming up the-cyclone record of the past year, says : "They turned a well wreng side out in the state of Mississippi ; turned a cellar upside down in Wisconsin ; moved a town ship line in Nebraska ; blew all of the staves out of a whiskey barrel in Iowa and left nothing but the bung hole; changed the day of the week in Ohio ; killed au honest Indian agent in the far west; blew the hair off a bald-headed man in Texas; killed a truthful lawyer in Illinois; blew the mortgage off a farm in Minnesota ; scared a red-headed woman in Michigan ; blew the cracks out of a fence in Dakota, and took all the wind out of a political orator in Kansas." . We are glad to announce that Mr, J. W. Courtland, manager of the Keeley Institute of South Car olina has opened f* branch in Ai ken. Dr. B. F. Wyman, who is well known throughout this* sec tion of counrty, and who has re cently had special training under Dr. Keeley at Dwight 111., will be physician in charge. The purpose of the Institute, as many of our readers know, is to cure the liquor and opium habits and* nerve ex haustion. Some hundreds have already been cured at the Colum bia Institute. These remedies have the endorsement of the United States Government, and have been used for more than a year in the homes for disabled soldiers and sailors, which isa guarantee of their worth. It is a great work and wo welcome the Institute to this sec tion of the State. Good Advice. The Easley Damocrat says: "Don't plant more than 12 acres to the horse this year in cotton, and plant at least 20 acres in corn ; and also raise at least two litters of pigs of the finest breed of hogs you can get. This is important advice; it amounts to meat and bread with you. Snow Years. Mr.?Williajm Durst, of Ridge, in speaking of the big snows of this winter, told us on Monday, that in March, 1850 the snow fell 13 inches deep on a level, aud that year was an extraordinarily good ,crop year. "Snow years are good years," seems to be a tradition of long standing amoug farmers and one which has a broad basis of truth for its underpining. A Terrible Accident. On last Thursday . Eddie Coch ran, a young man nineteen years of age, son cf li. A. Cochran.- a prominent farmer of the Rehoboth section, was run over by his. wagon and killed while, hauling . -lumber. He wag alone at the. ti.n^^.jo^ex ?ctly' how it happened w ill ^never be known; but it ig supposed that he fainted, or fell asleep while driving and fell in front of the wheels-a most deplorable and harrowing acoid?nt.

Two Kinds of Sauce. Mr. Jas. B. Adams, who lives three miles the other side of Choty, and baa to nabs through that cele brated region coming to and going from our town, says lhat the Cho rariau8, each ana every one of them, are preparing to go into the hands of a receiver. Not that they are strapped, or ?wart t to evade, or avoid the payment of their debts, but they want to test Judge Simon ton's decision in the railroad cases. They wish to see if Simontou will give them the same sauce he gave to the South-Carolina Railroad, a sauce which keeps that road from paying its State and county taxes. Get Your Papers. You people who are in the habit of leaving your papers in the clerk's office, after they have been recorded ; did you ever think of the risk you run? Suppose there wag a fire, for instance. Not only the copy of your papers would be destroyed, but the original along with thom, and there ' would be jao way to prove your claim. Better take your papers from the clerk after they are recorded. If there is a fire at home the clerk has a co'py, and if there is a fire at the court house, you have the original. This makes you absolutely safe with two chances. The other way you run the risk of having]'all evi dences of your claims wiped out within a few minutes.-.Ex. Bridge at Chappell*. Mr. J. R. Irwin, one of the most prominent citizens of Newberry, living at Chappell, was in town on Monday of this week and gaye the ADVERTISER office a pleasant call, tq us a most enjoyable visit, Mr. Irwin brings the gratifying in telligence, gratifying to the citi zens of both Newberry apdE,dge fiflld counties- that the county commissioners of the two counties determined at their meeting on last Thursday, to go to work and complete the bridge at Chappells at once-for which wise conclu sion they deserve the commenda tion of their respective constitu encies.

Mr. Yel dell is one of the biggest and strongest vertebra in the back-bone of the Reform movement in this State, and Edgefield is proud of his record, and that she has a son who has followed and will con tinue to follow the banner' of Re form so long as it shall continue to move forward and not backward, a banner that is broad enough and long enough to enfold all the sons of Carolina whose heads are level and whose hearts are patriotic.

The flourishing school at Berea is presided over by Miss Etta Strom, a lovely and accomplished young lady from Cleora. Miss Strom is an excellent teacher, and will be quite an addition to the community. We are glad to say that we had divine service in our church last Sunday afternoon, conducted by our pastor Rev. J. L. Ouzts. He preached a beautiful sermon, which was enjoyed by every one. Our friend, Mr. Holloway Har ling, paid a short but pleasant visit to his parents last Saturday and Sunday. Gome again, d?ar friend, wo are always glad to see you. Mr. C. M. T. goes up to see his best girl quite often; what does that mean Miss-:-? We are very sorry to give up our sweet little friend Miss Mattie Laka, but guess Mr. Strother is exceedingly happy. May happi ness and prosperity attend them. From what we can see and hear the wedding bells will ring around Borea soon. We hear some of the girls around here are going bird thrashing be fore long. 'Lookout littleByrda." Much success to the ADVERTISER: V.J. Berea, S. C. Mine Creek Notes. MR. EDITOR : In the publication of your .valuable paper of 23rd inst., I observe in the article of "B." of Newberry College a para graph relative to the redemption of Mexico from Roman Catholic ism. B. reproduces the language of Dr. Powell, a missionary to Mexi co, and says it is encouraging in deed to hear that Mexico is re deemed from Catholicism and that the country is now.open for Pro testant denominations. Now, I think it my painful duty i to reply to an article of this char acter, as it could not havo been published for any other motive than to prejudice Protestants against Catholics. Even if ' Dr. j Powell used the above language, it ' showed a very prejudiced heart on j the part of "B." to reproduce that J miall part of his sermon only, and j bave it published to tb rill ?s ~* ; these our days. And "Mexico is rede* ' c i Catholicism." How "ej " that news is to "B." of . -v ryj.: College. Well, l am g;i I B thing^??co?r?^s~^im, bv.? . pect he is like myself, Iv ; :: many difficulties thrown path, but if I could not thing more than the mi l tation of other Christian iw^ouii- * nations to encourage me, I think 1 [ should die in despair. Nothing short of a narrow minded man can have the audacity in this our free country, where all Christian reli gions are tolerated, to produce, or ; reproduce anything that tends lo | 3tir up envy between Christiano, ? and have it published to the 1 world. If that prejudiced feeling to- - wards Catholicism burns in my friend "B.'B" bosom it would be more tourable to confine it there than to make it contagious. I hope my friend "B." will cease ] living in those old prejudiced days i ?f long ago, and live in these days j Df enlightenment, when all Chris- i thin denominations are beginning ! tb understand each other better, i and n*o one has the finger of scorn J pointed at him on account of Iiis i faith. r . ! Farming is progressing very ; nicely with us now' owing ?o the ? good weather. VAN STAB, j Mine Creek, S.C. ' - 1 Attractions to be Offered at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Tho Exposition will offer the spectacle of an exact reproduction af a collision between two trains, with real victimB of the disaster. A veritable African expedition with real negroes as, victims. Col, Cody (Buffalo Bill) will have the direction of the troops. 1 The throngs of European visitors will be entertained with the . spectacle of au American con- ' flagration. The fire will break out ; at a given moment, and, before ( the fire-engines from all the dif- ? ferent States can arrive by special 1 train, balf of Chicago will burn. j This half will be rebuilt under ! the eyes of the public in twenty seven hours, thirty-nine minutes, and seven seconds. The public will assist in the rebuilding. \ One of the greatest attractions of the Exposition will be a volcano three times the size of Vesuvius, which will light and warm the city. A delicate attention to details provides that in place of lava and scoria, the. volcano will throw forth, from time-to time, roses and perfumed waters. The expenses of the volcano will be paid by firms who use it as an advertising medium. Machinery Hall will contain many curious inventions; notably an apparatus for warehousing the winds, collecting and compressing the Western cyclones. This force of nature will be condensed in tubes the size of a hand ; and with it a child can repulse a regiment. But the crowning attaction or pivot of the Exposition will be the railway to the Antipodes. This will be tubular, passing through the axis of the world, thus avoid ing all seasickness.
