Beautiful Souvenir.
The Augusta Lumber Company,
Augusta, Ga.,-is sending out a beauti
ful.?5uvenir to its patrons and the
public in the shape of a charming lit
tle brochure containing views* of the
World's Columbian Exposition. There
are fourteen views taking in all the
buildings besides the tout ensemble ol'

; worthy of a place upon the parlor of a

What Might Have Been.
We complete our critique on Gen.
. Torrest by Wolesley. The articles are
long, but we don't think their perusal
will weary the reader, especially-those
of us who like to fight our battles over
again.with Forrest. Who knows but
that if Lee had escaped to the mount
ains of Virginia and not surrendered
at Appomattox, and that if Forrest
had been put in command of all the
Confederate cavalry we might not
have fulfilled the .dream of Jefferson
Davis and "done 'em up?"
A Christian Soldier.
It is gratifying to those who know
him well, to see the venerable Capt.
James Dorn, now in his eighty-fifth
year, worship in our village 'Baptist
Church. Capt. Dorn is probably the
only surviving convert of the great
revival of 1831; the most memorable
and permanent ever experienced in
the history of this church. The truth,
beauty, and simplicity of the religion
of Jesus is strikingly exemplified in
the life and character of this faithful
servant of Ciirist.
Wants to bc an Angel.
In the list of delegates to the Re
publican Reform convention, which
assembled in Columbia a week or so
ago, the name of J. W. Logan occurs
as a-delegate from Edgefield. Mr. J.
W. Logan,/if the Gilgal community,
tells us that there may be other J. W.
Logans in Edgefield county, but the
Gilgal Logan wasn't there. The Gil
gal Logan was a Democrat in his
cradle and he'll be a Democrat in his
tomb, aud if there's going to be any
Democrat angels he wants to be one
of 'em, and we believe he will be.
Opera House Services.
According to announcement, a series
of religious meetings were commenced
in our Opera ?House on last Sunday
night. Although these meetings were
gotten up by Rev. A. B. Watsonof our
village M. E. Church, up to this writing
that gentleman has been too unwell to
attend. Mr. Bass, Mr. Plowden, Mr.
Booth, Mr. Waits, and Mr. Lake are
conducting the services, and other
ministers are expected. There are two
s ?rvjces each?day.o ie at llo'clock in the
forenoon and the other at night. Large
audiences are present, a good many
coming from the country. The singing
is under the special direction of Mr.
Marshall, who was for a long time with
3fr. Tillman in his tent meetings. Mr.
Marchall is assisted by Mr. Beall, Dr.
Prescot t, Mr. li. E. Jackson and ot hers.
Read Them All.
We have a large batch of communi
cations this week on both the outside
and insidiex>f the old paper, of which
we are pardonably proud. Of the
communications on the outside, how
ever, we are "stuck" on G. L. Ti m mer
man's letter, which ends with that
delectable little classic, "Goat eat the
watcrmillion." George may not know
it, in fact very few do know it, but
Caesar's soldiers sang this same song
with a little variation after the battle
of Pharsalus. There the song went
somehow thus :
Caesar eat the wat erm i ll ion.
Pompey eat the rind,
C.'esar takes a triumph,
Pompey takes to wine.
If you should ask the editor of the
ADVERT?S KR how_ he knew that
Casar's soldiers sang this song after
the battle of Pharsalus, he might
answer you as did the little boy who
when asked how he knew the exact
date nf his hirth,' responded : "Wasn't
I there?"

DEAR MR. EDITOR :-Pleasant

proved within the last two years.
Refinement, enterprise, industry

swift march.
We can see from our perch on
the piazza, or wide window seat
every day, tony vehicles, fine
horses, tony people, fly past.
Some one said this might bc

compete successfully with Mr. L.

other belted knight. Like Richard
the Lion-hearted he was thrown
from his horse a few days ago and
is now hors de combat, but will be
himself again soon.
"Little Boss" comes over from
"Stag's Retreat" every few days to
overlook the plowing. He gives
his opinion free on tho utter worth

There is a lovely Northern fam

Mr. Timmerman has recently

Pleasant Lane possesses a good

girl.
The young folk are making
ready for a picnic which takes
place to-morrow on the banks of
Turkey Creek, near the bridge,
whose kalmia grottoes look lovely
now.

about you." They did not respond,
but looked sheepish. After a
while they came to the conclusion
that they had more of the "stick"
than they wanted. They told the
goat if he would knock them.loose
that they would vote for him and
give him a big dinner besides. Ile
knocked them headlong, not for
the sake of their votes, but for
pity's sake. You see backbone

How Folk Academy School Spent
a Holiday.
MR. EDITOR:-The school had
been wanting a holiday for some
time, but was undecided when tc
have it. The school suggested to
have it the first Friday in May at
Landrum's mill. We had not fully
decided when to have it until
Thursday (May 5) while we were
eating our dinner. Our mothers
were not notified in time to prepare
us a fine dinner, but we had as
nice a one as could be wished. All
were glad when the time came to
go. We reached the appointed spot
at about 8:30 o'clock a. m. Now
the time came for us. to amuse
ourselves in any way that we
found best. Therefore some went
out rambling amoug the beauti
ful rocks and gathering the lovely
flowers, while others were amus
ing themselves by fishing. In
the ramble (now Master Albert
Bowers," I am going to tell on
you,) while away from most o?
the school boys and girls and with
some of the grown people, coming
to a high log across the creek, and
wishing to cross to the other side,
they said that it was quite amus
ing to see our sprightly little lad
get down upon his all-fours and
maka sure his crossing to the othei
side. ' Master * Webb Holstein
acted with quite a kind spiril
towards the little children by
helping them across the logs and
upon the high rocks. Just before
we ate pur dinner, Mr. W. W
Holstein and some of the boy*
engraved their names on the trees
Now the time came for our fish fry
After the fish were fried came th<
time for eating, which we al
enjoyed very much. After we hac
finished our dinner some of tb
children recited pretty poems an(
sang songs abont the lovely flowers
One of the pieces that was recitec
contained these words :
Put. by your books and slates to-day!
This is the sunny sixth of May,
And we will go this afternoon
Over the hills and far away.
After the pieces were rocitec
and while we were yet taking,ou
noon Master Clyde Wise gave U6:
little surprise, having brough
his bathing suit he softly step
down into the deep water of tin
creek and cut up such feats a
only a boy of twelve can in th
water,
In the afternoon we went ou
upon the high rooks and recite*
some of the pieces whioh we rocitei
at our Easter service. Whil
sitting on a very high rock by th
roadside we heard a vehicle com
ing and we were asked to be ver
quiet while it was passing by to se
if the man would see us. Just a
he got in front of UB he glance
his eyes np -nt us and said ; ''You
all look liko buzzards ur. ,,ere.';
Of course, that was not ry nice
. compliment, 'but w not. get
3 offended iu"th.e hem or we went

? Some of ?6 had a pleaf ant boatride
3 whilh nthers were-afraid to venture,

; very pie asant the time came for
3 us to leave for home. We left
thern at about 5 oclock p. m.

A Card From Mr. Bussey.
3 MR. EDITOR:-After consulting
i; with as many of the pastors^of the
, Edgefield: Association as we could
t See, it was agreed that, in view of
. the importance of the Missionary
? Centennial movement, we should
try to hold some special meetings
3 at some central points in the in
terest of this object. So to-day,
i in conference, the Red Hill church
, resolved to invite all the Unions
i to meet svjth her on the 5th Sun
- day, and Saturday before, in July,
i Thus all the churches in tjie As
sociation can be brought together
; and an appropriate programme
i arranged for the occasion.
We hope that |the first, second,
! and third divisions will accept our
invitation and notify us as soon
i as their Union in this month is
past. .
We hope to get the Union of this
division to meet with us next time.
Other county papers will please
