Sunday morning the subject was 'Look-
ing to Jesus" Looking to him as re.
deemer,. as a friend that sticketh closer
than q brother, as commander, as a
leader, as our advocate as our elder broth
er and as our Judge. Sunday night the
subject was Faith, !" which was shown to
be knowledge of God and the plan of
salvation, confidence in the suf6ciency
of this plan of salvation, and last COM
mitting of our souls salvation and all our
interests into the hands of Jesus. These
three things constitute saving faith, which
NAV beexeIcised by every one-knoW Wledge,
confidence and committal.
"Forgiving your Enemies" was the sub.

those against whom they had any unkind
or evil feelings and would seek reconcilia-
tion with their enemies, would come for

osition, and several long standing enemies
were brought face to face and freely for

whose heads are blossoning for the grave.

The Confederate Memorial Association.


MEssRs. EDITORS: I have read with
very deep interest the communication of
Miss Lenora G. .Hu bbard, suggesting the
formation at an early day of a Ladies'
Memorial Association" for Anderson
County. 1t seems to me this suggestion
will strike sympathetic cord in the
hearts of our entire lpeople, especially of
our ladies, who are always foremost in
every noble enterprise.
It is now quarter of century since
the close Of the bloody strife in which fell
so many of the chivalric heroes of our
County, and yet during all this time little
or nothing has been done to record our
love and appreciation of their great sacri-
fee for the cause we all loved so we'll
This failure to act in the past, am sure,
Is not from waning love for the mem
ory of our dead heroes, but because all
have been engaged in struggle to restore
their ruined fortunes, and to care for the
living. In measure victory has crowned
their efforts in this last struggle, and I
believe now all are ready to do their whole
duty to the dead; especially 30 since they
have leader in Miss Hubbard, who has
never yet failed in anything she has yet
undertaken, and will not in this. since she
has the cordial sympathy and active aid Of
so many of her devoted sisters.
I hope her suggestion will be acted
upon, and ere long Ladies' Memorial
Association" will be formed in every
Township of Anderson County, when,
with concert of action, the graves of every
dead Confederate Soldier will be annually
decorated with flowers, and monumen-
tai shaft erected, whereon shall appear the
names of every soldier from Anderson
County who gave up his life for the lost
cause.
I pledge myself to do all I can to aid
this sacred work, and feel assured that
every survivor will do the same.

Five Forks,

Mr.. EDITOR: Your correspondent,
"Sine DE- in speaking, or rather in writ
ing, about the Campmeeting at Sandy
Springs, uses rather strong language. He
says the devil was turned loose, and was
doing all the damage he could, but while
the devil had some, the good Lord was
with others. Your correspondent then
goes on to say that some Of the Lebanon
boys were acting in Sca7adaLiziag manner.
Now, I think his remarks rather sweeping.
He puts every youngster OF the Lebanon
vicinity under cloud. He does not name
the parties, nor give the nature OF the
scandalous conduct. It seems no one ever
heard this evil report on the Lebanon boys
until they saw it in the INTELL1dENcEs
over the classic nom de plane CT f'Sine DIE"
From the tone and spirit of your correspon-
dent, he seems to have found out more
about the tan trans of the devil than he
did about the good works of the Lord.
That being the case, oh, "Sine Die" on
which side vast thou! Selah. My apollo
gy for noticing the allegations of "Sine Die"
is that we, the good and pretty people of
the Kingdom, claim most, if not all, the
Lebanon boys, as our boys. Drive slow,
Mr.. "Sine Die" you might have to come
to time or be invited to crawtish perfor-
nance.

SEPTEMBER 81, 1890.
More rain and more rest. Those of us
who arranged to.do nothing but pick cot
ton, are having glorious rest physically,
not mentally. A good time to pick pin
dars and grabble potatoes for the cooks,
and spend 9 wet day or two vi ith our girls
occasionally. This all tends to fatten a
fellow.
The Rev. Irl Hicks, of st. Louis, Mo-,
predicted danger days the last Of the
month, and he need not be surprised to
learn that there is an abundance of cotton
and corn all over the Southern States
ber, and rs those danger days have
brought more rain, say he need not be
surprised if he hears that some Of our cot
ton and corn is in great danger Of rotting
in the field.
Ginners should Whet up their gins and
have things In good order while they
have nothing else to do. and if possible
they should rest and sleep enough while
it is leisure with them, to do them q
month or two, so when it fairs up they
may gin day and night.
Clinkscales' Alliance has moved its
place of meeting. It now meets at Mt.
Bethel Church, in the school house. A
very interesting meeting was held last
Saturday evening. Some of our leading
Alliancemen are working in the interest
of school in this section.
The Alliancemen in this section expect
to send man after a car load Of mules
before long, and there will be several new
buggies and wagons purchased, also, di-
rect from the factory. We don't want to
interfere with Fowler, nor Bleckley Co.,
and we don't want them to interfere with
Us.
Some of our girls attended the Sandy
Springs Csmpmeeting. They report q
pleasant time, though it rained nearly all
the time.
Our social ranks have been broken,
badly broken. I mean, of course, the
rauks of our Mohawk girls. Weak places
have been talked of in our social circle for
quite while, but when rumor referred us
to certain place that was being affected
py positive and unavoidable pressure,
we were not surprised when the crash
came. We will miss Miss Kittie very
much. In our Sabbath School and
Church she was always ready to lend her
assistance in every benevolent cause. I
hope Mr.. Gaines is philanthropist. 1
hope he has due regard for the welfare of
all the rest of u.s. while he is doing so for
"self" Yes, our grand, fair circle is bro
ken, and before the gap can be laid up,
two or three more may, like scared sheep,
dash out and be gone. I can't think of
anything that would be more prudent or
more to the interest of our grand and at
tractive Mohawk region than to corner on
our girls, and right at once. We ought to
do it, and since woman suffragei is not toll
Grated, believe We could vote them right
into corner" then O.! what fortune.
Men and brethren of Mohawk let us save

The Pearson Meeting.

We will be excused for not endeaYoring
to give our readers description of the
meeting, that IS now in progress here, on
the ground that it is indescribable. Many
haye professed regeneration, and many
more have returned who had wandered
away from the Gross, and many others are
interested in the welfare of their souls.
Verify, God has poured out upon this town
such q blessing that there is not room to
contain it.
Gods children expected big things they
arranged for and worked for big results,
and their expectations have been fully
realized, their prayers have been answered
and their work rewarded.
Last Thursday morning the subject Of
the Bible reading was "At tha feet Of
Jesus" This was 80 interesting and in

night was 1.-THE Blood" which was dis
cussed under three heads-the blood, the
shed blood, and the applied blood. This
word and not according to mans opinion.
The subject Of the bible reading last Fri
day was the conditions of effectual prayer.
1t must be In faith, prompted by the
Spirit, in Jesus name and according to
Gods will.
Friday night the preacher took as his
subject "Excuses." This was clear and
positive refutation of the various excuses
made by men why they are net Christians.
After this sermon one man remarked IN
our presence that his excuse for not being
a Christian had always been that there
were hypocrltes in the church, men who
were not living up to christian duty. But
