In spite Of the cool morning last , Sunday, quite a number of Easter dresses and hats were seen in the Episcopal church, the only church where services were held. I A very entertaining and instructive j mission and Easter service was held in the Methodist church last Sunday 1 evening, in which the children per formed the most important part. According to a Georgia experiment bulletin on.cow.peas, it is stated that for an all round, all over, all purpose ' pea, the Unknown heads the list. The clay, however, is a close second.

He was a Republican at one time, indeed a Republican Judge, but of late years had become a Democrat and was reputed an honest man, which cannot always be said with]truth even of a Demoorat. The children of the Baptist church are anticipating a Sunday school pic nic sometime soon. It has not yet been decribed where this picnic will be held, but a trip to Aiken would do all the children good, and last them till another spring conies., A Jewelry firm advertises silver bracelets, each bracelet having sus pended from it the left hind foot of a rabbit killed in a country graveyard at midnight, darin?: the dark of the moon, on Friday, the thirteenth of the month, by a cross-eyed, left-handed, red-headed, bow-'egged negro, riding a white horse. Our people are delighted to see former residents, Capt J. M. Jones, Mrs. Jones and L. B. Jones of Edge field. They are on a visit to relatives and friends, and the Captain, though somewhat feeble from catarrah, is still jovial and the pleasant companion of "ye olden time."-Batesburg letter. A Maryland doctor invited quite a number of friends to a barbecue. When all bad eaten, and greatly prais ed thc meat, he informed them the beef they had enjoyed was a ten months old colt, and he had taken this method of convincing them by practi cal test of the palatableness of horse flesh-Exchange. There is a farmer in Edgefield county who says the best oats he evtr made he sowed on the 7th day of April, but strange although he made such a wonderful crop sown so late, he never repeated the experiment, never. We farmers are a slow and slug gish set, but when it comes to making a big, indeed a phenomenal, crop, some other year than the current year, wo are in it. April ls not only a fickle month in the weather bureau, but the Peoples' Advocate says it was a fateful month in the history of the Confederate State The war began in April with the at tack on Fort Sumter. The city of New Orleans fell in April, and the battle of Shiloh was fought on April 6th when the South lost Albert Syd ney Johnston, one of its greatest gen erals. Peteriburg and Richmond were evacuated in April, followed on April 8th b) tne surrender of Lee at Ap pomattox. Mrs. Jas. M. Cobb is visit ir tives in Montgomery, Ala.

ASHS In Edgefield amt Elsewhere Their Aims and Results Pungently Put. GOOD INSTITUTIONS COME TO STAY. Earnest and Eloquent Appeal to the Manhood and Womanhood of Edgefield and Saluda to Standby Them-Saluda Mem bership Implored to do its Dut}', as Old Edgefield Has, of Which lt Forms a Part. The cases of the Farmers' Mu tual Insurance Association of Ed geflold count}-, S. C., brought by Folk ct Folk, the attorneys of said association, are now creating con siderable attention not only in Sa luda but throughout the State, not only on account of the nice ques tions involved, but also on account of the number of oases and the number of people involved. The association had, at the time it suspended operations, about four hundred members scattered from thc Saluda lo the Savannah and from the Sand Hills on the Aiken line to the Clay Hills on tho Ab beville line of old Edgefield and was until its suspension carrying insurance at reasonable rales and to the entire satisfaction of its membership and is to-day, if prop erly conducted, one of the best and cheapest plans of fire insurance known to the State. The feasibility of the plan of Farmers' Mutual Insurance Associations and their successful operations . are evi denced by the fact that similar or ganizations are in the full tide of successful operation in a great many counties of this State, at the present time, ind everjr session of our State legislature adds county after county to the column of Farmers' Mutual Insurance Asso ciations, and we predict that the day is not far distant when the whole State, by county organiza tions, will .monopolize this class of insurance in South Carolina, as they reach a class of insurers and take a class of risks almost aban doned by the Old Line Companies doing business in this State at cheaper rales than now prevail for such insurance in what is known as the Old Line Companies. We predict, further, (hat the day is not far distant when the old tempor arily suspended Farmers' Mutual Insurance Association of Edgefie county, S. C., will rise phonix-li from its ashes and build upon t the ruins of the old institution a under the same old charter, an e fief? of insurance that will be a p tection to the farmer not qi against Edgefield incendiary a accidental fires, but a bulw; against the encroachments f e: N bi ai al \f. Ol ii g? tr ec F fr B tl tl exactions of old line companies founded on Northern greed and love of money which to-day have left the homes of the solid yeo manry of this country-the farm ers-almost helpless and alono. Although defunct, as it is called by sorno writers in tho interest of the parties in Saluda, who do not care to pay t h?:, r just and legal as sessments according to law and the usages of ?he old Edgefield As sociation; although temporarily suspended oil account of the fail ure of the very men lo pay their assessments who now fail to re spond when equity and good con science demand it ; ali hough mem bers of said association have sus tained bona fide losses as members of said association relying upon the gocd faith of its membership to meet their assessments and aro still unpaid, yet the old association of Edgefield county, S. C., has not lost its faith in its membership holding as it does lo the good old time agricultural, democratic alli ance motto "equal rights . to all and special privileges to none," and still believes that Ihey will stand to the rack and pay their pro rata parts of the losses its members have sustained, however, badly they may have thought and still think the association was managed. We are glad to say, however, that Edgefield, that is left, has done well its part in that direction and well nigh to a man and woman has paid in its dues to the association. Wo now call upon tho membeis of the Farmers' Mutual Insurance Association of Edgefield county, S. C., numbering as it does among its membership some of tho noblest men and women of old Edgefield and Saluda when she had all of her dear people under one name and ono Hag, to square off their dues and again "breath into the nostrils" of tho old Edgofield Asso ciation "the breath of life" and have it manned by officers and mon made after their own hearts and minds. Rally around the furled but not conquered flag, boya of the old Edgefield Farmers' Mutual Insurance Associatif n and 'never say di'-" to or 'hold enough" of the Farmers' Mutual Insurance Association ot' Edgefield county, S.

JOHNSON'S ZU ILL AND -EVER TONIG Cures Fever In One Day. Thc Unpardonable Sin. Bishop Hugh M. Thompson, of tississippi, known widely from is literary work as one of the nemost men of the Protestant Ipncopal Church, is conducting ais week the noonday Lenten srvices at St. Stephen's Church, 0th street, above Chestnut. Elo uent, yet incisive, his short ser ious in the middle of the day ave tilled the church to over owing. Intellectual in his methods, he ?ikes, however, vital subjects, festerdny he preached on "Salva ion" and "Heaven" and relieved hem from triteness by his original ?oiiit of view. Salvation, he said ,'as not freedom from pain, nor did t come as a reward only upon the lonsummation of virtue. It was, n the Bishop's view, the sense that me day's moral t-lfort was stronger han that of the day before, and >egan immediately when one had >egun to climb nearer God. Ilea-j ran was defined as the sense of satisfaction coming from right ioing, and the ono unpardonable ?in was named despair. Farming in 1855.' When will tho rain hold up?
