We read an excellent letter this
week written by D. Todd, Esq, to
the Newbury, S. c., News, giving
the topography, and geography,
and the natural resources of More
house parish. The letter was writ
ten at the suggestion Of Mr.. Shep3
herd, of that State, who spent the
month of July in this town and
parish, and who became enthuslas-
tically elated over the wonderful
fertility Of our soil. He left here,
fully determined to emigrate to this
State, if he could induce his mar
ried sons and daughters to come
back with him. Mr.. Todd's letter
was designed to convince the young
neople of Mr.. Shepherds family
| that they can find both room ano
welcome in this parish. We hops
the letter will have the desired ct.
feet, for no country in the worlo
needs immigration worse than ours
and there is no spot on the glob,
more desirable to live on than Nortl

sands of fertile acres are waiting

Some of our friends at Oak Ridge
have an erroneous idea that the

ought to visit Bastrop and see what

Helena Pastors piece to which
"Bear Creek" refers. Sorry hard
feelings have been engendered, but
hope no harm will ensue. | shall
not discuss the matter between the
two. | simply want to say, because
Evening Shade was not fixed as
the seat Of the next annual confer
ence, 1t is not to be understood that
the "invitation was declined" with
or without thanks. Evening Shade
was put IN nomination, and so was
Helena. The invitation to 60 to
both places was accepted, but to
(which of the two shall we CO."
was the question, The matter was
well ventilated, but the relative
inertia Of the two places were not
discussed, and why Evening Shade
was not selected was simply because
majority thought the conference
ought to 60 to Helena. Let it not
be understood that the conference
declined the invitation. Bro. Gar
rison calls Evening Shade the "gem
of the hills" and "Bear Creek" says
"score one for Garrison" that ia,
give Bro. Garrison credit for apply
ing such d beautifully descriptive tt.
