Tho apparent increasing mortality
among the colored population in this
county is calling forth general remark.
"A gentlemen from up OIL the Saluda
informed THE SENTINEL that not less
than eight old and young had died
this summer Oh one plantation, that
OF Mrs Gwyna. No local cause for
this remarkable mortality has been
discovered OF even suspected.
w. II. McFall and family, Miss
Nora Hubbard, Miss Hortonso Maui
din, and guest, Miss Bertha Epps, of
Kingstrce, had delightful mountain
trip last week, visiting Table Rock
and C;csar's Head. No one has a
just conception Of the beauty and
grandeur Of the mountain scenery till
he has visited those two points. Re-
petition docs not tire, as some new
charm is over unfoldcd to the admir-
ing gaze.

force, and much real hard lectioncer-
ing was done. Oncman estimatedthe
procession Of Sunday school children

coma. 1T will be something remarka-
bic if childrcns' day ovcrwhclms coun-
ty politics, and rclcgates ollcc,secking

Last Saturday We saw the adventist
tent, near John Rosamond's, in
Brushy creek township Of Anderson
county. That was their Sabbath and
they all had on their Sunday clothes.
A very good congregation Of nice
looking people were attentively listen
ing to the preacher. The tent, which
has a seating capacity Of $50, was
we'll provided with seats. Under the
tent where preaching WAS going on
there was also bed, a combination
bicycle and other useful articles. Near
the large tent was smaller one
which appeared to be used as Il kitchen
and dining room. 1t was provided
with cooking stove. The preachers
are nice looking, and are said to re,
ccive nine dollars q week for their
work. They urc pleasantly and com
fortably located.
It is not often that an advertise
mcnt contains SO much valuable infor-
nation as the column edited by Sloan
Bros, in this Issue. The practical
knowledge Of Peter HcndeIson is
worth IL great deal to others, and
what he says about "lirminS" the
ground when seeds arc sown III dry
weather, has been thoroughly tested
and stands approved. Our own cx
