Au Eloquent Sermon.
"He is not here but is ripen''
Luke 25:6-was th* theme of the
eloquent, and beting Easter morn,
very appropriate discourse deliv
ered Ly the Kev E. M. Ste ?ru ri in
the Pr Bbytcrian church I; st Sun
day. The sermon was delivered
with earnestness and tenderness
befitting the occasion. Mr. Slew
art has an ease and grace of mau
uer and fluency of ppeech which
olong with bis rare Dualities of
mind and heort assure for him a
bright and useful caner in the
ministry.
Peace Haven Sunday School.
The Colliers coramuuity is pe
culiarly blessed in having a build
ing that was erected for and dedi
cated to Sunday-school work ex
clusively. The lamented Dr. Roi
eit H. McKie conceived the idea
of having such a building. In exe
cuting his plans he was aided by
othi-r gentlemen in the communi
ty. The Sunday-school has had a
marble tablet suitably inscribed
that is to be placed upon the wall
of the building in commemoration
of the beloved Dr. McKie, who was
for a long time teacher of tbe^Bible
class. A flourishing Sunday sc'uol^
is now held in this building, with
Mr. GUE ??dmunds as superinten
dent, and Mr. J. B. Adams as Bi
ble-class teacher.
A Fair Proposition.
The merchants, lawyers, doctors,
in fact, every citizen who has the
iutere6' of the town at heart, will
6ay patrouize homo merchants,
home enterprises, deposit your
money in home banks and never
send a dollar out of town when it
can be kept Lere. Thi6 policy per
sued builds up towns ;the opposite,
that of constantly sending money
away, kills them. We ask you in
all fairness to let this apply to
your job printing. Th?mouey you
pay tor it remains and is spsut in
ridgefield. Themotto of thia of
fice is "no satisfaction no pay."
The Vegetable Garden.
The garden should receive du?
consideration at this season of the
year. The corn cribs have grown
smaller w'iile larger cotton-houses
have been erected; the old ante
bellum smoke-house with its dirt
floor is so seldom seen that it is
regarded as a curiosity, in fuel,the
word istelf has almost bi corne ob
solete. Shall wo see the family
vegetable garden abandoned? If
so we shall have tD enlarge our
county poor bou**e.
A well cared for grrden will, in
..urclimate, supply the table with
seasonable vegetables every mouth
in the yea.*,which will very mater
ially.reduce the outlay for th* ev
ery day necessities. Ono acre well
fertilized and pla.:*.ed in vegeta
bles, strawberries, raspberries,etc,
will, aside from the real luxury
afforded, be of greater profit than
the net income of auy rive aerea
ul-ad Lu *_h" Sold ?'rfM'a_._
Friends, neighbors, it you have
been planting your gardens in cot
ton or weeds, as some have doue,
acknowledge your error by re
claiming and rededicating the
spot to the family veg&tabie gar
den.
Beautify Your Premises.
The strangers that come wi'bin
our gates torin their impressions
of our tewn, to a g rea* extent, by
the general appearance of what
meets their oyes. Theso impres
sions, favorable or unfavorable,are
carried away with them. Homes
that have a well kept front yard,
set in beautiful flowers,evergreens
and hedges, are not only a pleas
ure to those w ho dwell within them,
but adds to the attractiveness and
beauty of the town. On the con
trary, those that give evidence of
indifference and neglect detract
from the appearance of the com
munity at 'arge. We do not wish
to be per-onal or we could mention
several very beautiful front yards
in our town. Let's have more mod
ele I after these. Beautify your
premises. It is both a private and
public duty. The beauly of town
in the aggregate is augmented in
proportion as the individual homes
are made beautiful. With her
natural advantages we can make
Edgnfield a "sweet amiliug vil
lage", "loveliest of the plain."
The- Sham Court.
A larga audience was antertaiued
on last Friday evening in the S. C.
C. I. chapel by the mock trial oi
Larry Barry Merritt, alias Cadet
Merritt, who was sued for $10,000
damages for breach of promise by
Sallie Maria Gooding, alias Cadet
Ellis, who was attired a;? a womau
io the latest gewgaws of fashion.
Judge Thames donned the ermine
and the duties of sheriff were per
formed by Ralph Jones. The plain
tiff's attorneys were Huggins &
Hardy; the defendant was repre
sented by Callison & Scott.
The complaint alleged that Lar
ry Barry Merritt had not kept his
promise to wed :Vliss Gooding on
March 15tb, thereby causing her
great mental anguish and disap
pointment. The plea was set up
in the answer that the plaintiff
was no lady, being engaged to au
other man at the time and desir
ing to marry the defendant for bis
money.
The audience was kept in an up
roar of laughter as the case pro
gressed bringing to light the amus
ing incidents of their courtship.
The arguments of the youug bar
risters to the jury were original
and very creditable. The jury
rendered the following verdict,
that the plaintiff and the defend
ant be required to marry in the
presence of the court.

less corn. 1

Au Eminent Jurist.
"Col. J. J. Darlington, a former
South Carolinian, now one of the
foremost attorneys of Washington,
D. C., stopped over in Edgef?eld
last Friday and Saturday en route
to tho Exposition. Ile was the
guest of Coi. J. H. Tillman^ bay
ing been au intimate fri?.nd of Col.
George D. Tillman. Edgefield has
always been tenderly and affec
tionately remembered by Col. Dar
lington, having been the home ot
his mather, Mis3 Blease; in fact,
both of his parents are buried in
our village cemetery. His two
bright little daughters accompani
ed him to see the graves of thjir
paternal grsud-par-'uls. ? ol. D..r
liug was a liber ?I contributor to
ward building the pa . cn1. Baptist
church. That Col. Darlington is an
able jurist is not only shown by
the success he has achieved at th .
bar but by several books on legal
Bubjects-wbicb ar.; accepted as au
thority, that bear bis name as
theil author. Col. Darlington
was greatly disappointed at uot
finding Dr. Gwaltney in Edgefield.
their warm friendship having
been of many yoar3 duration.
Om purpose of bia visit was to
see his old school-mate and friend,
Mr. Tho8. J. Adams,both of whom
are alumni of Erjkiuecollege,Due

by frequent visits from this dis
tinguished Carolinian of the Nati
onal capital.
A Venerable Colored 31 au.
Rev. Ned StarK is in Edgefield
ona visit to his childi
pard, Esq., and Ex-Go v. John C
Sheppard, as he fondly calls them.
Uncle Ned was bought by the
father of these gentlemen in 1S:?9
and has lived with some member
oi the family continuously until
the ol I homestead passed into
other h:inds a few years ago. Du
cie Ned bas p issed the centenarian
milo pc Si, having first seen the
light in the year 1800. Ho is re
spected, esteemed and honored
alike by tho white md co'ored peo
ple. A gentleman, his n^ar neigh
bor for years, hai? said to us that ha
never met Uncle Ned that he did
not feel prompted to raise his hat
through respect tu him.
Uncle Ned, notwithstanding the
fa :t that he cannot read a line, can
quote and in his simple way ex

who are versed in book-learning.
