bapClst GOurler.
Your smiling face has just ap-
peared, and it always to me ex-
presses 30 much along the line of
solid truth and sacred memory.
Among the first articles I read is
that on the meeting of the Edge
field Association. May enough of
your space be taken to express
what to me-a native of Edgefeld
lis of most blessed memory?
The meeting was held with.
Bethany church. In 1869 it was
my privilege to attend, for the
first time, a Baptist Association.
This was at Bethany church. In
company with Bro. Joseph A.
Clark, now in heaven, the journey
was made, over distance of some
IS miles. We represented Sardis
church in that body. The brother
appointed to preach the introduc-
tory sermon was absent and DR.. B.
MANLY was called upon to fill his
place, which he did, preaching a
sermon on the call to the ministry.
While listening to that sermon I
made up my mind by Gods help
to be a preacher of the gospel. At
this meeting I saw for the first
time Basil Manly, James G. Fur
man, John Trapp, and Luther
Broaddus. Broaddus was then
quite young and pastor at Edge
field C. H. "They seemed 10 be
pillars" in the Association, but
now all of these have gone over
the river to their heavenly rest.
What swaths has the scythe of
time made in the ranks of Gods
choice workmen! How short ou1
time is and how we should heed
the admonition "to do with our
might what our hands find to do.'
But while the workmen have fallen
the work goes Oh.

Moses on Horeb, but the shekinah
of God still led the people on

We had the pleasure of attend

Association at Little Stevens
Creek. The association was well
attended, and we enjoyed ourselves
finely with the many friends whom
we met from different parts of the
county. We had the pleasure of
spending night with our gener-
GUS and hospitable fond, Mr..
Willie Hart, where we were royalty
entertained. We congratulate Mr..

MIR. EDITOR: Autumn ID upon
US and red-bug season is on the
wane. The country boy is fast
losing a luxury that the average
town boy knows not of, a luxury
that is without cost, price, or
parallel, one that gives delightful
employment when all else fails.
Yes, autumn comes and bring
to mind made in the spring
with our grocer-a cross that
each must "bear alone" and
obliterate with 6 cents cotton.
The early morning whistle at
G. D. Minis gin announces that
the fleecy staple is being prepared
for market. Fleecy staple ap-
propriate adjective. All are fleeced
who handle it, or rather those who
produce it, and it is productive
of crosses, losses, and bosses.
Minis mill and gin camo near
being things Of the past last
Saturday. A spark supposed to
have fallen from the smoke stack,
caught in the pile of wood under
the engine shed and when dis
covered, long after grinding ceased,
the fire was burning fercely and
only through good management
in fighting the flames and the
heroic efforts of the Whatley
boys, was this valuable piece of
property saved. So great was the
fire that steam was raised in the
boiler to forty pounds.
Miss Matte Zimmerman and
Miss Hattie Dorm have just re-
turned from a protracted stay

To obviate the necessity of 80
much canvassing and uneasiness
on the part of these great eaters
I think it would be wise to adopt
the advice of the Atlanta
Constitution which is as follows
@To settle all the trouble

To keep the ever eager candidates
From shaking in their boots;

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday
to-day and forever. These ill
ustrious departed are not dead
but sleepeth. Their work is
immortal because Jesus is eternal.
This work was done in him. and
for him and whatever has relation
to him knows no dying. They
have passed from the visible to
the invisible, from temporal to the
eternal, from the transient to the
immortal. Following them as
they followed Christ, we shall see
them again,
aAnd with the morn those angel
faces smile, J.
lost awhile"

A CURIOUS PROPHECY.
A Part of 1t Has Been Fulfilled
Disaster to Come.

In August, 1857, the Bavarian
Allegemeine Zeitung printed o re-
markable prophecy, which had
been made by an old hermit many
years before. In it the rise of
Napoleon III. was clearly out
lined, as were also the Astrio-
Prussian and the Franco-Prussian
wars and the Commune of Paris.
He told how the death Of Pope
Plus would occur in 1875 or 1877,
and how it would be followed by a
Turco-R Russian war, both pre-
dictioLs being but slightly wrong.
He said that Germany would have
three Emperors in one year before
the end of the century, which we
know was verified to the letter in
1888. He missed it one in the
number of United States Presid-
ents that were to die by assassina-
tion, which was remarkably close
guessing, to say the least.
Now for the future The opening
of the Goth century is to see
Manhattan Island and the whole
of New York City submerged in
the waters of the Hudson, East
River, and the Bay. Cuba is to
break in two, and part of it, 1nclud-
ing a portion of the city of
Havana, to sink beneath the
waves.
Florida and lower California
are to break loose from the main
land and carry their loads of hu-
man freight to the bottom of the
sea.
The twentyffth is to be the
last of the United States Presid-
ents, and Ireland is to be a
kingdom and England Repub-
lie by the end of the next GEN.
tury. y
If this seer is to be relied upon,
the United States will soon be
divided, and San Francisco, Salt
Lake City, which he referred to
as the paradise in the American
desert,') New Orleans, st. Louis,
Washington and Boston are to be
made capitals of the six republics
that are to be reared on the ruins
of the present United States.
To return to Europe: The end
of the twentieth century will not
find either Italy or France upon
the maps, and Berlin will have
been totally destroyed by an
earthquake.-Philadelphi Press.
