dies of Stanton intend to hold a Fair on the
thirtieth, and thirty-frst of October, and first
day of November. for the purpose of putting in
order the Confederate Soldiers Cemetery, and
marking the graves. The Cemetery at present
is in a very neglected condition, and the graves
have never been designated. All who sympa-
thised with the cause which these brave men
died in maintaining, will readily admit that
these who survive, owe this tribute to their
memory, and that we will be false to ourselves
and to them if it be not paid. The long-delayed
debt of gratitude must be discharged now, else
there is but little hope that it ever will be.
We intend to do all we can in this matter, and
we appeal to our sister-women OF Augusta to
help us in any manner they see fit. We appeal
also to the men of Augusta, so many of whom
and so many of whose sons and brothers fought
| side by side with our lamented dead, to aid US
| tn doing honor to their memory.
Fancy articles will be thankfully received,
| but especially do we ask contributions of pro-
visions for the Dinners and Suppers which we
intend having during the Fair. Hams; poultry
butter. eggs. fruits, and IN short edibles of all
sorts will Be most acceptable and may be left
for us on Court-day October 26th( at the stores
of John B. Hoge and Charles @. Wheat, or at
any time before the Fair. as may be most conve-
nient to the donors. Weappeal to alto give &C.

LIFE AND TIMES OF JAMES B. TAYLoR.-We
call attention to the fact that this work. from the
pen of Rev. Geo. B Taylor, is now out DR..
Jeter says of it, 'all will find it fresh, truthful
and well written life of noble, upright, earnest
man whose steps showed the path to Heaven
1t can but impress the thoughtful mind with the
truth, beauty and excellency of Christianity"
DR.. Wayland, editor of the National Baptist,
gives an extended review of it and characterizes
IL as "a truly valuable, interesting and delight
full book" The Herald declares that useful as was
the life of Dr. Taylor he WILL through his me-
moir, as was the case with Brainerd and Payson,
perhaps do more for mankind after his death
than he accomplished when living.
We are informed that the author has devoted
the entire proceeds Of the volume to Foreign
Missions and the Memorial Fund. Of course. it
will be much sought and read in this communi-
ty, especially among the Baptists. Copies of it
may be procured at Mr.. Fry's Depository, loca-
ted at the store of P B. Hoge & Bro.
