Appomattox Day Services.

According to appointment DR.. J. P.
Smith preached the annual sermon
before StOnewaIl Jackson Camp and
other veterans Sunday night at the
First Presbyterian church. Nearly
all the city churches were closed and Q
large congregation gathered to enjoy
the exercises. The veterans were in
uniform, as also was the veteran min
lister, who is the chaplain of R. E. Lee
Camp, Richmond. Dr. Smith had for
his theme, ''All the way the Lord has
broughtus." 1t had many local ref
erces that especially interested the
old soldiers. In referring to Gen. Pax
ton, OF Lexington, who was killed in
battle, he mentioned that he was lean
ing against tree reading his Bible
but a few moments before he received
the mortal wound that ended bis gal
liant military career. He was at the
time commanding the Stonewall Brig
ade. Illustrating the youth and the
high Christian character of the men of
the Confederacy he referred to the
death on the battle field of two friends,
hum BILE Christians, dashing and brave,
one brigadier general, the other
private, both under q years of age.

Second Presbyterians Call a Pastor.

The fact that a new pastor was 70
| be chosen bv the Second Church Pres
byteriaps of Stanton drew together a
large congregation last Sunday. AS
| Rev. w. L. Bailey had an appointment
to fill the pulpit at the First church
that day. DR.. j. 2. Smith, OF Rich
mond, was invited TO preach at the
| Second church AID moderate the con-
grepatiopal meeting. After the sermon
| DR.. Smith called the meeting to order.
| Col. S. Brown Allen, on behalf of the
committee consisting beside himself
| of Il. G. Morton, B. F. Hughes, A. M
Howison, F. T. Holt, J. W. Lovegrove.
Newton Argenbr1ght, M. K Fultz and
K l.. FLOYD, presented the report OF
the committee in which he stated that
they had had As names before them
presented by their friends, and after
two months investigation had nnanl-
mously agreed to nominate Rev. W..
N. Scott, ID. D., of Galveston, Texas.
After presenting Letters highlyendors-
ing DIR. Scott as a preacher and pastor
additional remarks were made py
Messrs. Hughes, Morton, HOwison
and Dr. Smith.
Elder N. G.. Kester then moved that
I'll report OIL Uue COulHltUcO uO ouOPo
ed and that Dr.. Scott be extended a
call at once. This was done by rising
vote. On motion of Elder L. 9. Nor
ton the salary was fixed at 81 200 and
a manse.
The call was made out and forward
ed to DIR. Scott at once. and 1t is
thought he will accept. as assurance
had been given that be would careful
ly consider an unanimous Call to this
church.
DR.. Scott is about 81 years of age. He
was born in Halifax county, Va, edE1-
Gated at Washington College soon
after the war and at Union Theologl
cal Seminary. Soon after he entered
the ministry he was called to the
Third church Richmond, where he
preached until called to Galveston in
1882 He is related to the Sprouts,
and Mortons, of this county
and city. His three daughters, attrac
tive young ladies, have visited in this
city and the Bethel neighborhood
where they made many friends. One
son is in business in Galveston, and
the other is a college student.
The impression has been made IN |
some quarters through a newspaper |
report that DR.. Scott is wealthy. This |
is mistake. He is not a rich man,
but is not man to make a salary the |
main thing when considering call.

At the Opera House Last Night.

Thrilling incidents of the war and
the memory of the days of 81, were
revived at the opera house last night
in way that eminently pleased large
audience. 1t was the long heralded
performance of The Blue and the
Gray" given under the auspices of
the Vest Augusta Guard, and it is
safe to say that a more delightful or
artistic am ateur performance has never
been seen here. The performance was
under the direction of Mr.. Warner
Olivier, to whom great credit is due
for his excellent stage management.
The characters were all so ably sus-
tanned that to discriminate would be
unfair. The battle scene was the soul
of stage realism and brought forth
rounds of applause for the victorious
Confederates The tableau AFTER the
Battle, was most beautiful concep
ton and took several curtain calls
The performance will be repeated to
night and is we'll worth seeing
