Letter from LaurenS County.

Dear hteIHgencer:: Your weekly visits are
most welcome in my home, seemingly so far
away I have not lost all interest in affairs of
Anderson, the place of my birth.
September 13, 1872, found me visitor at
the Reedy River Association, convened at
Bethabara Church. Laurens County, S. @. So
licited, preached to the multitudes present,
and was no longer a stranger, but among
friends.
BY chain of providences, Jan. 1878 found
me domiciled in Laurens County, with Mr..
Hogan Notes, brother of my mothers first
husband, living in four miles of Cross Hill, my
post Office, and twelve miles of Laurens G. 81.
Here have found a good home, and scenes
sacred to me because hallowed by the memory
of my precious mother, who, far away in Tex
as, is in her narrow home, "asleep in Jesus. :"
Her first husband, Mr.. Marcus Notes, and
their babe lie near here in an old family grave
yard. Here, as a young bride, my mother
spent some of the happiest days of her life.
Many living, among white and black, still
cherish fond recollecLions of my now sainted
mother, whom none knew but to love.
am preaching to three churches, Beaverdam
and Bethabara in Laurens County, and Cross
Roads, near Chappells depot, in Newberry
County. These occupy my whole time ;
preaching at Beaverdam three times month,
l. e., two Sundays and one Saturday. The other
two one Sunday and Saturday each. God has
greatly blessed me in my work. Tho churches
have increased in efficiency every way, to a
degree that is remarkable Composed on the
whole of fine material, I have become greatly
attached to the membership, and people who
compose my congregations, which ere large and
attentive. Of late, from three to five hundred
in attendance. Flourishng Sunday Schools
we'll attended. AT Beaverdam, have had two
meetings in September and October. Bro. T
II. Pope and J. K. FAINT assisted me at the
first, who endeared themselves very much to
my people. Result of these meetings added
to the church AZ by BAPTISM 80, mostly noble
young men and lovely ladies, for which our
congregations are noted. Mr.. Editor, you are
we'll acquainted with Boaverdam and its sur
roundlngs, being near The nome or your child
hood. Many remember you with much pleas
ure among my acquaintance.
This month Bro. Pope was with me few
days in meeting at Bethabara-3l additions,
% by experience. At Cross Roads in August,
/ was by myself in a meetng-11 additions
by baptism. Ninety y-seyen have been added to
nay churches this year. have baptised sixty
eight, and expect to baptize number of others
next week.
Have excellent health, in fine spirits. Wish
ing success TO always be yours and promising
to write again, remain yours truly,
EDWIN G. RICE.

, The Drainaqe Meeting.

-Rhet publicshould bear in mind the proposed
meeting on Tuesday next, to consider the ques-
tion Of drainage. A communication elsewhere
from one of our subscribers directs attention to
this matter, and we hope every one will give it
o careful perusal, such as It deserves.
50 We observe that Mr.. Crews, of Laurens, has
given notice of bill to provide for general
system of drainage in this State. Of course,
we are not apprised as to the proposed legisla-
tion, but we think timely and sensible sugges-
tions might be made by the public meeting
next Tuesday, which could not fail to aid the
efforts of such members as are disposed to
afford relief in this important matter:

tions for them, we will do the best we can and
