They came down with our people
from Crer-nville county. Nathan was
a carpenter by trade and worked at
it until too old for this business. Ceil

hard a lick with his hammer and the
j blow broke the bridge of his nose.
Afterward he talked through Iiis no80.

Hickory Tavern, cultivated the patches
around the house and the old man did
light work in the blacksmith shop.
His favorite imployment on Sunday
was to lay Hat on his back 011 the floor
and read Synbad the Sailor. Uncle
Nathan, "do you believe those big
tales of Synbad?" "Yes, every word of
them is true?just as true as preach

The militia company mustered near
their house. Aunt Betsy would walk
out to the tapsters board on drill days
and drink off her tumbler of toddy
with the ease of ilie oldest toper. When
her tongue got well oiled up. woe be
unto the sinner that angered the old
lady. We would get such a dressing

a nephew of Betsy, who took care of
him, until he went into the Confeder
ate army. While at home on furlough,
Mc. studied up his plan to carry to
camp some brandy for the boys. He
knew butter was In demand so he pur
chased a big lot. He procured a keg,
packed in some butter, set his jug on
top of the butter, packed more around
It and up to the top of the keg. So the
Provost guard might sample both sides
of his keg and only find butter. So he
had two things that would go down
slick ?butter and brandy.

REV. .MAHLER ORDAINED.
Rev. John A. Marler Ordained to the
Ministry of the Baptist Church ut
Lucas Avenue Church Tuesday*
The following account of the ordlna-1
tion services at I-ucas Avenue Baptist
church Tuesday, when Rev. J. A. Marl
er was ordained, was sent to The Ad
vertiser:
The Lucas Avenue Baptist church of
Laurens having called for and ar
ranged for the ordination of Bro. Mar
ler invited the following brethren as
a presbytery, viz: Rev. \v. k. Thayer,
Rev. J. Dawson Ho wen. Rev. J. M.
Trogdon, and the deacons of the
.church, to assemble on Nov. 5, 1!U2,
j for the purpose of examining and set
ting apart Bro. Marler to the full work
i of the Gospel ministry.
Organization resulted in the election
of Rev. J. M. Trogdon for moderator,
and Rev. J. Dawson Bowen, secretary.
After opening prayer led by Pea
con H. C. Godfrey. Bro. Marler was
asked to tell of Iiis conversion and call
to the ministry, which he proceeded
to do before the congregation which
had assembled. He told of his experi
ence of Grace and call to preach in
a most convincing and satisfactory
manner. ,
Then lu> was closely examined as to
i what he understood by Baptism, The
Lord's Supper, Regeneration, Ropent
Innsce, Faith, Atonement. Sanctifl.cn
tion, Resurrection, Future punishment
of iho wicked, Final perseverance of
die saints. Life everlasting, and inspi
ration of the Bible.
Bro. Marler showed that be was
familiar with ti e Bible by the compre
hensive way In which lie handled each
doctrine.
It was a most pleasing examination
and the candidate passed it very satis
factorily, not only to the presbytery,
but to the congregation before whom
it was conducted.
Tlie presbytery retired and after a
short deliberation unanimously voted
to recommend to the church the ordi
nation of Bio. Marler.
Bro. J. M. Trogdon, moderator, and
the candidate's pastor, stated the rec
ommendation to the church. The
church unanimously voted for the or
dination.
Dro. w. K. Thnycr in a few well
chesen words and in his characteris
tic happy manner delivered the charge
??Vilich was the best we remember
to have over heard).
* m Bro. .1. Dawson Bowen pre
sented the Bilde and delivered the or
dination prayer, after which the pres
bytery laifl on their hands, and in be
half of the ministerial brotherhood,
Bro. Thayer gave the right-hand of
fellowship..
Bro. Marler dismissed the congre
gation with a most earnest prayer.
God's unlimited blessings be upon
our young brother!

For the Presbytery.
Deafness Cannot Be ( tired
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There Is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness Is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Euatuohlan Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
, it is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restor
ed to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten aj'e caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will givo One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circ u
lars, free.

? HARMONY NEWS? ?
* ?
Harmony, Nov. X.?The sad news of
the departure of Mrs. Sleanor Steuert
will be received by many sorrowing
friends. The death angel visited the
home of Mr. J. H. Carlisle last Mon
day evening, Nov. 1th, and carried the
spirit of this good woman into the
great beyond. She was nearly 70 years
old nt the time of her death. Her maid
en name was Aull, born and raised in
the city of Lumens. When quite a
little girl she gave her heart to Cod
and attached herself to the Methodist
Episcopal church and she always lov
ed her church and did what she could
to supply her pastor's needs. She
took a delight In visiting the sick and
ministering to the wants of the needy.
Mrs. Seibert at the age of IS, was
married to Mr. Robert Sichert and they
remained In Lau tens until 1870 when
they bought land here where she has
lived ever since. She leaves nine chil
dren to mourn the loss of a sainted,
good mother: Mrs. Mamie O'Dell, Mrs.
Freddie Carlisle, Mrs. Elolsc Compton.
Mrs. Eleanor Qrnnt, Mrs. Lucia Mob
hit. Mr. William and George Sichert, <?r
this community and Mrs. Saida Sichert
of New York, and Mrs. Carrie Cogdill,
of Marlboro county. |lor funeral ser
vices were conducted at Mt. Bethel by
her pastor, K. W. Dubose on Tues
day evening, after which her body wnss
laid to rest by the side of her husband
who had preceded her to the gravo
about ?_'."> years. Her death was not :?.
surprise as she has been badly afflict
ed for ten years or more, having had a
stroke of paralysis that long ago. The
family have the sympathy of the entire
community.
Tills writer made a pleasant vlsil
to Cross Anchor not long since.
Mrs. Jesse Wood is very sick at this
writing, Her friends hope she will
soon l.e wcdl again.

Mr. J. 15. Cook has routed Mr. .Tames

not much to do."
IVIij Not ??Elmorc" Count).'
An agitation is In progress for Ihc
formation of a new county out of parts
of Laurons, Union and Spnrtnnburg
and i's advocates would have it called
"Mus: rove," because the little battle
of Musgrove Mill In the Revolution
was fought on Enorcc River within
the territory of the proposed county.
Whether or not the county he cre
ated is not a question with which we
are Concerned but. if it be created,
why call it "Musgrove"? Does not
the battlefield commemorate Itself, or,
If it does not, will not the Daughters
of the Revolution erect a stone so
that the spot shall not beforgotten?
There was no prominent colonial
family named ?.Musgrove." Perhaps
the "Mary Musgrove" of Kennedy's
novel once lived, but "Mary Mus
grove." the heroine, is a creation of
the novelist's fancy.
The district to be included in the
proposed county gave birth to one of
the most distinguished of South Car
olinions, certainly the most distin
guished man that Laurens county has
produced. Senntor Franklin II. El
more. Senator El more was born on
a plantation, in Jacks township and
to name a county in tils honor would
he wise and appropriate. Of the II
counties in South Carolina not more
than half a dozen, if so many, per
petuate the names of eminent South
Carolinians.
