Ten Days of Interest and Edllcation


For ten dayspast, amost Interesting and ed dify-
ing meeting has been gong.on in the Baptist
Church ut this place. Wnrm Christian hearts
have been burning with holy zeal, and warm
Christina hands have been active with holy work.
Soldiers OF the cross havo boon fighting manfully,
and with good effect Christians are aroused from
supincness to stronger effort and stronger prayer.
And sinners orc being drawn out Of darkness into
light.
This, we know, will be glad tidings not only to
all>who love God and pray for the peacc of JeEu-
salcm but to al who respect the Church of Christ,
and wish it we'll
One result of this meeting will be the early
baptism Of n considerable number of persons,
both white and black. How many exactly, We
arc not able to sNy.
OF these soldiers of the cross, the only one not
of Edgeield, and therefore not perfectly well
known to Edgefisld people, is the Rev. w. D. May
FIELD, n5w the pastor Of tive or moro Churches
in the lower part of Laurens District "a native
of Grcenve District formerly Chaplain of the
srd Regis. C. V. Mr.. MAYrIELD is young
man, and the day will come-and soon-when 1t
will not be necessary to state who he is or where
he is FROM If his life and health last, his name
is destined to fill the trump of fame His preach
ing is fervidly and impetuously eloquent-always

man OF glorious capabilities. His friends and

The Luckiest Individuals in his Note
RooG

Andrho snys it so amiably-and without n trace
of envy. We mean tho editor Of the Anderson
Inelligenccr. But he's good'fellOw out and out; ;
always brave and kind. Ho writes thus:
The Edgo6eld Advertiser folks arc the luckicst
individuals down in our notebook. Every week
the editor, printers, &C., rejoice in On abundant
"treap of some sort. For the past month they
have boon running on" watermelons, and, tho
last issue of that excellent journal chronicles tho
reception of melon weighing forty. five pounds
Good for tho pincy-woods!
All profoundly true Both as regards our luck;
and as regards tho big watermelon. This was
that Arabiau-Night Barr watermelon, which wps
just as fine in flavor as In sizc Out of our own
single slicowe saved enough seed to plant the
whole world broadcast. Try US, ifyou don't be-,
lovo it.
And only four or five days ago, gentleman
sent us two bottles of superb Champagne; and
again We were all high in blood and rich with
wine; and we mention the fact to let the donor
know VIC appreciate his cavalier conduct.
And on several occasions lstoly we hayerecoiv-
cd from wedding feasts, ,ohole cakes.
And we expect before long, sweet potatoes as
big ns little Niger, and turnips big as pump
kins, and fall Irish potatoes such, as q Fenian
never saw in his widest dreams. Hurrah for tho
goncrous-hoartcd people who cause us to bo thus
written down "the luckiest of indiydunls~ p
But VIC arc' Dragging; and We fear cur luck
will depart in consequence. Wo will 60 straight
homo and turn an idia-rubbor shoe wrong side out
But Mt all events, friend HoYr, we'll keep upon
tho tide long enough to get bottle of Champagne
for you.. The very noxt ono shall bO kept!and
sent to you. And We fancy It will mako those
handsome black eyes of yours sparkle until they
could almost pick up pins and needles. And
that's not original either. Twas something Of
that sort that Barry Cornwall said to Charles
Lamb. But If Barry Cornwall and Charles Lamb
said pretty things toseach other, why should no.

The Famous Harvest Queen Cooking

Poor, unhappy, ec-labor-tormantcd Southern
women must bo convinced by this time that their
culinary sorrows can only have an end in the
Cooking Store. A free Legro woman, dawdling
over broad kitchen hearth, flirting lnzily with
dirty pots aud ovens, is in these daya, dreary
and maddcning picture.
Uandcr present circumstances, every decent
Southern maa ought, without consulting her, to
buy and bring homo to his wife, clean, handy
comfortable Cooking Storc.

trict:
G@ We notice with pain aud sorrow.the
arrest of four of our-citizens on last Thursday,
bya detachment of cavalry, viz Capt. Phos.
Paysinger, Edward Peterson, John Mathis
and III. Harris. What the charges We know
not {; that they can be of a;serious character
we cannot readily believe. From tEis place
they were taken to Columbia and there lodg;
ed in the common receptacle of zthe guard
house, where they@erereta etaineduntil Saturday
morning, from whence they were;removed to-
Charleston for Investigation. We hope soon
to hear Of their release. ss
ATTEMPTS AT RoDBERY.-Wear informed
that Mr.. Appleton, Elmore, living about4 miles
south OF the town was aroused one night last
week BY party hailing him from a avindow,
be asked, what was wanted, aud received-in
reply from one, that he had q letter for; him
from the Post master, and wanted an answer.
He was thanked for his kindness, in taking
so much troubleip walking SO far having ad-
mitled that he was on foot, but for pruden.
.tial considerations was requested to throw
the.letter over the fence, The party retired
short distance and fred'a gun, which was
returned by one Of Mr.. jElmore's freed hands
In the meantime Mr.. E came down and made
his firearms ready, prepared for further ac-
ton; but after few. moro shots; from his,
nnwelcome visitors they finally retired. The
object must have been plunder, perhaps mur.
der. It was impossible to see whether they
were white or black, but the supposition is
the former. -. ~ .--;..,.
An attempt was alsomade q few nights ago
to entice Mr.. Price, Of Helena, from hfsprem.
ises., He was awoke by hearing q scratching
noise from the outside, the: intention evident
" being to make him believe it the. scratch.
ing of adog, but the sound being aotunlike,
he determined to try the effect of powder and
shot Bringing his gun, to- bear in the proper
direction he fred, and discovered from the
sudden flight and noise that the unwelcome
intruders were of the human species, or inhu
man, perhaps more properly.
ANoTHER.-Mr. George Hipp tells us that
few evenings since, just after he had fed
his stock and entered his dwelling, white
man came abruptly to the door, saying,
"here's note for yop," at the same time
handing him piece Of paper, and drawing
and cocking:a pistol. Mr.. H. who is an in
firm man, and having no means Of defence.
found himself entirely in his. power. The
fellow said, I'll tell you what want:n,oney.
Mr.. Fl. told him he had none. He replied,
YOU haye provisions, Smust have somes' Mr..
Il. gave him three pieces Of meat and'a small
bag Of four whereupon he decamped Mr..
Hipp, informed us that there was aSparty out
5;iin. tie road, to- whom hs carried the meat
