aged twenty-five years.
Mr.. Forrest had lately become citizen
of our town. where he had been for FIVE
months clerk at the Chester depot Of the
G. C. & A. R. R. In business. he was
industrious, faithful and upright; in man
ners and society, genial and modest; and
was endowed with a very pleasant and
cfeeFfui disposition: As member of the
Baptist Church at Chester, into which be
was received by letter only few months
ago, he impressed every one as being a
sincere Christian. He came to Chester
with high concentrations from his former
church and pastor, and in no respect did
ne disappoint his friends as professed ad-
vocate and exemplar of piety, temperance
and truth. 1t is a melancholy thought
that he was SO Unexpectedly called to ter
inmate his earthly life when the future
here looked so full of JOY and success. But.
for him, the change is glorious one. He
is now at rest May the young OF our
town emulate his virtues and initiate his
noble example in the cause Of righteous
ness and peace. 4. w. s.,

The fortunate results of the late

the good citizens of Hamburg, were
largely brought about by the untiring

Dear Sir: was very negligent in try

you in the Spring, as I had some mis-
givings as to its adaptation to my rough
bottoms, which I broke early in the
spring and left very cloddy. Fully six
weeks after breaking concluded to try
the "Acme." In this time the land was
oyergrown with heavy coat of grass
and weeds, a1d had become hard and
dry. AS matter of experiment, put
the pulverizer at work, and soon be-
came convinced that had the very i'm
plement for the. place. The "Acme'
most thoroughly pulverized the clods.
which were exceedingly rough and hard,
and every particle of the weeds and grass
were entirely cut up, and my land was
left smooth and in the most beautiful
order. can now unhesitatingly pro-

read the above paragraph in this morn
ing's paper, l knet in thankfulness toG9d
for this manifestation Of His power in an
swer to prayer and faith and earnest work.
Edgefeld has been considered such a
needful yet hopeless field for temperance
work that the greatest discouragements
were prophesied for any attempts IN that
direction. And the surprise expressed in
the above article gives an idea of the gen.
eral skepticism that had existed as to the
result. And now that such glorious vic
tory has been gained for such a "forlorn
hope" let no other place despair Of like
blessing.
To the g6vl p-ople of Jour village and
county I send my heartiest congratula-
tions, with those of our w. G. 7. U. Of
Augusta. And I know you will have the
good wishes of our whole State. trust
that untold good may result to Edgefeld,
and that lasting prosperity may soon be-
gin. Drawbacks and discouragements may
be before you at first, but trust they will
only make you more earnest and Jealous
in your determination for reform, and that
the good step may never be regretted.
Sister Ghapin was with you again, l
learn, just before the election, and | am
confident that Providence used her as a
means for bringing about the blessed re-
suit. She will be with us at our State

of her d.given power for good.

never again be clouded with the dark shad-

The MIscreants.
Certain of the miscreants-or so alleg-
ed-who shot into the negro mans house
and rifed the academy on the night of
the late municipal election, have been ar
rested, and bid fair to feel the strong hand
of the law. One of them, colored man,
Hillery Dorm by name, had a preliminary
hearing before Trial Justice Glover, upon
a charge of carrying concealed weapons,
and was bound over to appear at the cir

band will be discovered and punished.
