A Pleasant Occasion.

Mr.. EDITOR: On last Friday evening,
the 22d inst, we, in company with seve-
raj of tho Cross Roads people, assembled
ut Welcome Academy to witness the
closing exercises Of Miss Lille Bigby's
school. The entertainment began prompt
ly at 7 o'clock. The stage was beautiful
ly and tastefully decorated with honey
suckles and lilacs. The exercises con-
sisted of speeches and dialogues. The
opening address was delivered by Mr..
A. X. Willis. After that "Bonaparte's
Retreat" was rendered by Miss Lillio on
the organ, accompanied by Messrs. c. l..
Guyton and A. j. Smith with their vio-
Inns. There was good order throughout
the e1ercises-the best we ever saw.
There were speeches by little folks and
negro faroes acted by West Ballard, Aida
Smith and Bruce Moore, which were the
best we ever heard. Then there were
dialogues by Misses Bessie Welborn,
Bette Martin and Idela Martin. They
all did well. 1t would be hard to tell
who did the best. The Chinese lanterns
kept the stage brilliantly lighted, which
lent grace and beauty to the scene: 1t
was most enjoyable occasion, and Miss
Lille deserves praise for the way it was
conducted. There was good music, in
terspersed between the acts. Miss Lille
is an accomplished organlst, and rendered
the accompaniments with skill that kopt
her audience highly entertained. 1t
would be too tedious to 80 into details,
for we cannot do justice to the occasion.
The Welcome people are fortunate in
having her services. Miss Lille is high
ly esteemed by all who know her. 1t is
to be regretted that the term was 80
short. UNCLE JOSH.

Long Branch Items,

The health of this section is very good,
as far as know.
We havo been having great deal Of
rain through this section during tho past
week, and the farmers arc getting badly
behind with their work. They will DO
about as late getting through planting as
they were last year.
The fruit crop is not all killed in this
vicinity. We don't see how it escaped,
as we have had somo very heavy frosts.
One night last week somo ono entered
the smoke-house of Mr.. II. A. Cummings
and stole about two sides OF meat. Tho
thief is still unknown.
One Of our young men thinks he is get
ting better looking In his declining years.
He now has his photograph tackled On
the sign-board just above his girls home.
Any one wishing to see his picture look
on the sign that points toward Miss -
homo. It resembles him very much.
The next time you sec Mr.. Johnson,
ask him how he likes to play with babies.
Our school in thiS section Is still in a
fourishing condition.
The death Of Mr.. humphrey Williams
occurred at his home In this section last
Friday night, .22nd inst. This removes

A Wolf In Sleeps Clothing.

MADISON, GA, April 12.-Bishop Atti-
gus G. Haygood, of the Methodist
Church Of California, has telegraphed to
the Rev. Warren Chandler, president OF
Emery Methodist College, at Oxford,
Ga. to have arrested if possible the Rev.
Edgar Dunbar and wife, tho former being
a minister in the California Conference,
and to divest him Of his ministerial cre-
dentialg. The charge is that Mr.. and
Mrs. Dunbar are living in illegal union,
and the story Of the case is an interesting
one.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dunbar arrived at Oxford
some time ago to visit their son, who was
attending college there. They were we'll
received and Dunbar filled the pulpit for
DIR, Chandler on more than one occasion.
It transpires that tM cnty-fiye years ago
Edgar Dunbar, who is native of Florida,
married beautiful woman there and
raised small family. He afterwards
eloped to Little: Rock, Ark, and assumed
the name of Seth Burnett. Ee was ad-
mitted TO the Methodist Conference OF
Arkansas. Here he had another family.
He became tired of his second wife and
family and again eloped with Mrs. Hern-
don, wife Of a neIghboting local preacher,
going to Southern California, where he
resumed his own name. dunbar second
wife devoted several years to ferreting
out his whereabouts and finally succeed f.
ed in locating him in California. The at
tention Of the authorities of the Metho-
dist Church there was called to the case
and they at once concluded that the man
was hypocrite. In the meantime Dun
bar, suspecting something wrong, had
left California, stating that he was going
to New York, but instead he went to Ok.
ford. The Bishop promptly telegraphsd
to have Dunbar and his wife intercepted,
but the message was sent too late rs the
couple had left Oxford. Their son, who
was at College and whom they had been
visiting, knew nothing of the situation
until informed by President Chandler.
The boy, after hearing the story, immedi-
ately followed his parents to New York.
Telegrams have been sent to New York
to arrest the couple.

The Guilty Pair Gored to Death.

BRISTOL, Tenn, April 2l.-A terrible
tragedy occurred in the mountain re-
gions Of Kentucky day or two ago, the
particulars ofwhich has just reached this
city.
S. Harvell was burned to death by his
faithless wife, who was in love with one
A. Brady. An hour after she and her hus-
band with their. infant retired, she got up
and secured the oil can. from which she
emptied the contents onto his bed. She
set fire to it and fled from the house. In q
moment 1t was in flames. The husband
and baby perished. Among the many
who were attracted to the scene of the
confagration was this Brady. It was
doubtless understood between the two,
for. when an opportunity presented
itself they fed together. They had gone
but a short distance when ferocious
bull attacked them. Mrs. Harvell was
caught between the animals horns and
swung in midaip
She was pierced through and through.
Brady, in attempting to save her, lost his
footing and fell. The bull gored him to
death. Mr.. and Mrs. Harvell had been
married but year or two. Tho husband
suspected his wife some time ago oil
criminal intimacy with Brady.

On O. Mission Of Peace.
From, the EdgejicM MroNtelc.

From the Edggicld Chronicle.
The following is copy Of a letter which
the Hon. John G. Sheppard has addressed
to the Advertiser in roply to an editorial
in that paper advising him to withdraw
from the race:
EDGEr1ELD, S. c., April IL, 1892.
In the issue Of your paper Of this date
appears avery temperate and respectful
editorial entitled, "Advicc to Governor
Sheppard"
You thereby, in the presence Of the
people of Edgefeld County, advise me to
''withdraw from the race" for Governor
of South Carolina. Permit me to say, in
the presence Of the same audience, that
did not onter the race for Governor of my
own accord, but was called upon by a
large body Of representative South Caro-
liniaus, majority Of whom were farmers,
to 20 before the people as candidate for
Governor upon a platform of peace and
unity In the Democratic party, which is
essential to the maintenance Of good gov
ernment in our State.
+ accept the commission thus imposed
upon me as high and holy trust, and
shall hold it sacred to my heart, without
that may fall upon me. In bearing this
message of peace to our people I shall
not infiict upon them a "useless, senseless
aud bitter conflict" but will SO conduct
myself and the campaign that when the
result is known it will be matter of pa-
triotic pleasure to every Democrat in the
State to "close up' and march shoulder
to shoulder to certain victory for the
nominees of the party.
You may rely upon It, Mr.. Editor, that
il our people shall "be torn into factions,
harassed and distracted by the bitterness
of tho canvass, and convulsed, perhaps,
by internecine strife, brother against
brother, son against father" the faulrwill
not be mine. God knows that there was
"bitterness" enough in 1890. Was / re-
sponsible for that?
MY desire and mission now is, to heal
the wounds thus inflicted, to close the
breach thus created, to the end, that
hereafter, as well as heretofore, the
Democracy Of South Carolina may be In
vincible at home and respected abroad.
ness to the people of Edgefeld County
for the support they have given me and
for tho honors they have conferred upon
me; in their presence I declare that
have never been forgotful of their inter.
est, nor tnfaithful to any trust they con-
fided to me, and I obligate myself by
every consideration on.that IS binding upon
nv conscience to 80 conduct myself az to
Justify their confidence in me.
Thanking you for your suggestion "in
the interest Of peace and harmony" will
you permit me to ask If you sincerely
believe that you are contributing to
"peace and harmony" when you refer
TO some of our people as "goat Demo-
crats," and to others as "sheep Demo
crats?" Are we not all Democrats just
alike.
Have YOU and not stood shoulder to
shoulder, hand in hand, in the past, In all
that pertains to the honor of our State
and the welfare OF our people? So here
after let US stand for the honor OF the
State we love and for the welfare of the
people, whose destiny is our destiny,
Very respectfully,
