Will weary the reader, especiallsthose
OF. us who like to fight our battles over
again. with Forrest. Who knows but
thatsif Lee had escaped to the mount
ainsof Virginia and not surrendered
at Appomattox. and that if Forrest
had been put in command of all the
Confederate cavalry we might not
have fulfilled the dream of Jefferson
Davis and "done 'em up?"
A Christian Soldier.
1t is gratifying to those who know
him well, to see the venerable Capt.
James Dorm, now in his eighty-ffth
year, worship in our village Baptist
Church. Capt. Dorm is probably the
only surviving convert of the great
revival of 1881; the most memorable
and permanent ever experienced in
the history of this church. The truth.
beauty, and simplicity of the religion
of Jesus is strikingly exemplified in
the life and character of this faithful
servant of Christ.
Wants to be an Angel.
In the list OF delegates to the Re-
publican Reform convention, which
assembled in Columbia week or 80

as adelegate from Edgefield. Mr.. j.
w. Logan, of the Gilgal community,
tells us that there may be other j. w.
Logans in Edgefield county, but the
Gilgal Logan wasn't there. The Gil
gal Logan was a. Democrat in his
cradle and he'll be Democrat in his
tomb, aud if there's going to be any
Democrat angels he wants to be one
of 'em, and we believe he will be.
