store. The Rev. Mr.. Landrum is the
esteemed pastor of Mount Zion Church,
in Spartanburg County. he is, we
learn, the Oldest Baptist minister in the
State. and this portrait was ordered by
his congregation, as a mark of their love
and esteem for one who has served them
long and acoeptaDiy. Tho afsisss:: inas

strikes us as an excellent one. The 90.
loring is admirably dole, and the .fea.
lures Of the preacher stand ont in bold
relief on the canvass. Robust as the
Rev. Mr. Landrum is, in his person, his
mind and his religious views, the artist
has succeeded in representing these qua
lties to the life. We see before us
living representation OF one who is an
illustration OF shat highest style Of man,
The earnest Christian. His poriraiturs
OF the Rev. Mr. Landrum shows the
clements of strength and OF softness in
harmonious combination.
In this connection, We are pleased to
find that our community are beginning
to exhibit full appreciation OF Mr..
Guerry's skill as an artist. He has re-
ocived number of orders, and it is
likely that his brush will now be kept
busy. we trust that men will not be
found wanting to help the artist on in
his bright career. To cultivate in a
community taste for art and the en-
oouragcment of artists. is high duty,
and should be esteemed a valued privi:.
lege. There are times when the State
needs tho achievements Of the engineer
moro than tho genius Of the warrior or
the graces of the orator. But at all
times it is at once high principle and
sound policy to magnify those pursuits
which impress upon the people love
for the "true. the beautiful and the
good" which is at once the inspiration
fand the result Of true art. IN
