The sound of the busy hammer and the smell of paint wafted In from ev ery direction ahows that Edgefield la pushing rapidly to the from, not only In a business way, but In an ornamen tal way as welt. The South Carolina Co-Edwational Institute, the Y. M. C. A., the Edge field Bank and the E. B. Hart cloth ing store are all to be newly painted. Mr, D. A. Tompkins to whom the above property belong*, sent a man from Charlotte, N. 0., to do the work. He la now engaged on the Insti tute. The factory houses for the hands of that Inatitute will aoon ba completed, and will make a very pretty show, dotted around on the beautiful green hills in the neighborhood of the fac tory. Mr. Grant, an elegant and refined gentleman connected with a New En gland Insurance company, came to our city on Tuesday to Inspect Ihe oil mill and cotton factory. After being shown through each he expressed him self aa knowing little of oil mills, but was well up In knowledge of cotton factories, and pronounced the Edge field factory a daisy—one of the finest In the country. Capt. Harry Kidder White of IT. 8. N.. and wife, are expected In Edge field to spend awhile with Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Fisher, the latter of whom is a sister of Mrs. White.

From what I ran remember of the things she used to tell me and which Interaated m# so much at the time, she must hatrr been • simple minded hind hearted woman. She would tall ma ail the events of tbs village; the story of a cow which got out Its shed and which bad been found the next morning standing In front of Prosper Malefs windmill watching tha salts go round. Then I remember a story she told ms about a hen’s egg which had ben found In the church I steeple and no one had eyer dlaeovered | what hen oould have got up there Then there wa* the history of th# faithful dog owned by Jean Pilaa.

She told me these absurd stories In such an Impressive way that they fix ed themselves on my memory like ver itable A*-amas and mysterious poems. The clever stories invented by celebra ted authors, which my mother used to tell mem In the evenings, did not seem to me anything like so thrilling and wonderful as those related by the peas ant woman. One Tuesday after spending all the morning listening to Mere Clochette* tales, I had been with one of the ser vants to the woods near the Nolpre farm We had been gathering nuts, and I can remember everything as clearly as though It had all happened yesterday. As soon as I reached home I ran up stairs to the sewing room and to my horror, on opening the door, I saw OTB Mere Clochette lying full length on the floor, her face downward, her arras stretched out, holding her needle clenched between the fingers of one band and a little garment of mine In the olher. I can remember now no ticing her blue stockings and her spec tacles, which had rolled against the wall as she fell. I rushed down stairs shrieking as I went and mother and the servants were soon with the poor friends. Presently I heard them saying that she was dead and I shall never forget the terrible heartrending grief I felt, child though T was. I ran away quietly into the v.ig drawing room. and hiding In a dark corner T knelt, down by a low armchair, and, burying my head in a cushion, cried bitterly, until I was tired out with emotion, t must hpve been there for a long time; it began' to get quite dark.

Without waiting for reply she sprang from the window Per# Qrabu was very much surprised to find that Hlgisbert was alone and he soon went downstair* again. A quarter of an hour later the young man came and told me the whole sto ry "The poor girl was lying by the wall and could not. stir. She had fallen from the second story. It was raid ing In torrents. I went with M. Slk isbert and we brought Hortense to tny house. Her leg was broken In ttsrpe places and the bone had come through the skin. She made no complaint, but just murmured In a resigned (one. ‘lt was my own fault, it is my just punishment.' « isent for a woman to come and nurse her and then sent for her par ents, to whom I made up a story about a horse that had taken fright and a carriage running over the poor girl near the door. Everybody believed my story and the police were engaged for a month trying to-find out the ownen of the runaway horse. That is tht!' story, then,” said the old doctor, "and I maintain that woman was a heroine. She never had another love affair —but, died an old maid. I mean 1o say that woman was huhllme. She was just a martyr, and it is because of my great admiration for her that I have told you her Btory now. During her lifetime I never would breathe it to anyone.” The old doctor said no more. - Mv mother was crying and my father said something which I did not catch.
