ALFRED NORRIS BETTIS, young
est child and only son of FRANK and LEILA
BErrIs, was born September l9, 1883, and
died May 25, 1885.
Very sad was The death Of this little
child, so bright and full of promise. 1t
was like some beautiful flower, that blooms
for an hour and then fades away. bringing
both joy and sorrow-joy for the tender
life that God gave and bitter sorrow for
ils DEATH But even as the flower in its
transient blooming performs lis mission,
SO hath the child. And that mission. what
ever it was, God in bis own good time will
reveal, and then the hearts of those who
loved The child best will be made to re
joice in the hope of blessed reunion be-
yond the grave; for faith teaches us that
the life which God gave for wise pnrposeI
he hath now taken TO himself, and That
hencelorth it shall be treasure laid up lnE
Heaven for the father and the mother and
for ali others Who loved the child.

Church News and ReyiyalNO from
ParkSyille.
From the Baptist co,.,ier.

PARKsvILLE, S. c., May lS-
About three months ago the church
at this place decided that it was it's
duty to exercise stricter discipline
over it's members, and We began to
call disorderly members TO account.
Since that time We have expelled
about one dozen of our members, and
about one and half dozen,bave come
forward and made hearty confession
Of sine and promised reformation. The
result has been continually increasing
spirit OF revival in the church. In.
teresti in the Sunday school and prayer
meetings has greatly revived. Bro.
E. G.. Morgan's Bible class is larger
than ever before.
We have been enjoying the visits
of some brethren from Alabama and
Texas, who attended the Southern
Baptist Convention, and took this oc.
casion to visit the scenes of their
childhood. The first that came was
Rev. G. E. Brewer, of Ala, whose
father was a Methodist minister and
left here about forty years ago. He
preached us an excellent sermon on
Monday night before the Convention.
The other two wers Rev. G. L. Jen
nings and J. L. Jennings, whose parents
moved from this immediate section
about forty years ago, taking George
and John with them, the former be
iag about l5:yea,s OF age and the
latter l2 II was very touching to
see them meet the gray haired men
and women who were their school.
mates of many years ego, and to hear
them talk of old times. They both
preached for us while here, and yes,
terday evening Bro. G. L. preached
a real heart. moving sermon to a large
congregation, at the close OF which
an invitation was given for prayer,
when scores Of people came forward
among them were some old men whom
l had never seen moved. The occa
sion, will long be remembered by all
who were present. We feel that the
visit OF the brethren has been a real
blessing to us. They left us this morn
ing for their far-off homes. May the
blessings of God attend them.
The ladies Of our church have Just
purchased a new carpet and sofa for
the church. G. w. BUssEY.

ladies again received their friends and

Hart. This praiseworthy undertaking Is

Dnll saiesday.
Monday last was bright, warm, dry,
beautiful day, and our friends in thecoun-
try remained at home and fought Gen.
Green, who by means of the late contlnu-
GUS rains, had become very strongly IN
trenched. This made our salesday thin,
dull and uneventful. No property was
sold, and nobody got drunk. Indeed no
one ever gets drunk in Edgefe!d now-a-
days. And God knows We are delighted
to chronicle the fact If there was a feature
of particular interest on this day, it was
Col. o. F. Cheatham's superb Coomassie
Jersey boil, which was exhibited for a
while in the park. This is the .nost beauti-
full animal-to be a bnll-we have ever
laid our eyes upon.
Solomon Auitman.
The circumstances Of the erroneous SEN
fencing of this man are narrated IN an
other column. According to law he might
have been sentenced to from two to thirty
years in the Penitentiary. Not longer
than thirty years. He is now in our Jail,
and looks pale, feeble and much worn out.
He has been in the Penitentiary for seven
years, at work, TOR the most part, If we
mistake not, in the shoe shops. he has,
or had, a wife and children in Georgia.
We earnestly hope that Judge Kershaw
may so construe the law as to turn him
loose. At all events let him have now
but the minimum Of two years-wlth
recommendation To pardon. He is q young
man. Give him chance TO lead better
life in future.
still In Obscurity.
County. Commissioner Rauch, who is in
our town to-day, for the monthly meeting,
has amused us with the following. He
says he has always beer ambitious to be
supereminent in some respect or other,
but thus far, no matter how great his ef-
fort in any particular line, some one has
turned him down. Upon starting from
home upon this trip, however, he said to
himself: "Now I have at last achieved
fame, for l feel absolutely certain that |
have the finest grass. and the most of it,
in South Carolina" But, alas before he
had ridden FIVE miles from home, he sank
back into obscurity, seeing at every step
this way that his grass fame was every
where eclipsed. We comforted our friend
by suggesting tc i'm thathe should achieve
fame by making the best County Commis-
sioner Edgefeld has ever had. We believe
he will do it.

Tho AntIquary's Discovery.



A German antiquary once made the de-
stable door bore the inscription of 1881. u
must have this stone in my collection, cost
what 1t may" thought the savant. Calling
a tenant farmer, who was the proprietor, the
professor said to him, eagerly: "Did you not
obtain this stone from the castle ruin on the
hill yonderf' at may DO that my grand
father fetched it thence when he built the
stable" was the reply. The ~antiquary then
asked what he would take for the stone.
"Since you appear to have a fancy for It,
said the farmer, "give me 10 gilden and ]
will bring 1t to your house" Rather a large
sum, y said the professor, abut bring it to my
residence and you shall have the money"
When In due course the farmer brought
the stone upon Il truck, the jealous antiquary'
turned it over to refresh his eyes with a
sight of the venerable chronological inscrip-
ton, not without anxiety that 1t might have
been damaged in its removal. "Whyl' he ex,
claimed, "what Is thisf Thi3 is not tho right
stone. On the stone l bought from you was
the date 1881. while this bears the very
other was exactly To years older than this"
"Do not trouble about that" said the peas
ant; the masons, you Sc, sir, turned the
stone upside down when they set il in the
doorway, because it fitted better that way
You can turn l. which ever way you like,
but OF course l must have the money agreed
upon" The professor, it is said, at once
paid the whole sum, and gave the man a
presents besides to take away the stone and
say no more nbout the matter.
