The old academy grove is reallj very beautiful as it is, but think how much more beautiful it would be if young trees were growing ir the places made vaoant by the dy ing out of the old ones. The trees in the grove that Dr. Gwaltnej planted rill, like those at the Bap tist church, be a living monument to him. It is a source of profound regret to the entire community that those little faiiies, the . kindergarteners, will not have a place iu the com mencement picture. Preparations and rebeaxsals tor a kindergarten commencement were be^un, but the attendance of the little ones became so irregular on account of sickness that all hope of having a public exhibition as heretofore had to bi abandoned. - The following is an extract from a personal letter to the editor from the Rev. John Lake: "Today I presented to the library of the Southern Baptist Theological Sem inary some thirty volumes of the Edgefield ADVERTISER. These I prized very highly, especially as they were filled with poems and stories written by?my grandmother but as the building is well kept and is fire proof, I thought they would be better taken care of there than if I kept them " Read of Mr. J.

In due season this gentleman from Barn well county will present his claims in person to our people. Read his card.

He says it will kill the bugs dead er than the late Jim Tillman. Greenville Mountaineer. lu looking over tba program of i he Conference of Volunteer Work ers among young men to be held at Lake Geneva, Wis., August 1-11, we notice that Rev. John Lake is to deliver an address on '-County round good citizen of Cleora, has sent us a ?a nple of his 40 acres of oats. The gpecioe?mej^res^bove waist high to a mau and has fong and heavy beads. One would im agine that such grain came from the fertile valley of the Nile. We would like very much to sit on one of the pyramids and see a McCor mick binder gracefully harvesting Mr. Cheatbam's Nile valley field of oats. We have received a letter from Mr. John Logan, of Logan, Mo., in which he stateB that he desires to know the na aies of two young la dies (presumably of this county) who during April, 1865, walked home from church so as to carry to their home six Confederate sol diers. Mr. Logan does not give the name of the church nor auy other particulars. The inquiry is very indefinite, but should any reader know or remember of such an occurrence they should com municate with the above named gentleman. Afr, William Lott. On Sunday evening last after a long and patient illness Mr. Wil liam Lott died at his home near Johnston. A gallant survivor of the Lost Cause, a sterling citizen and a high-toned gentleman has passed over the river. William Lott's name was a eyneu ym of vir tue, honor and nobility of char acter. Not only the community in which he lived, but the entire county feels deeply this bereave ment. A devoted wife, an affec I tionate daughter and four eon s sur vive this good man. His remains were laid to rest in the Johnston cemetery on Monday afternoon. The large concourse that attended his funeral showed how he was loved and esteemed by all who knew him. An Ideal Farmer, In a letter to us Mr. W. T. Wal ton, of Johnston, states inciden tally that his grain crop is ex ceedingly good. It was put in with a grain drill and he fears that he has too much on the land instead of not enough. He says all that, he needs now is immediate rain. Mr. Walton has studied from a seien* title standpoint his soil and plant lifo a?d the conditions that con d..-a to favorable growth, conse quently there are but few men in the country who have succeeded as be has. His success is a result of concentrating his entire time, tal ent and energy toward his life work-that of a planter-which, after all, is the best of callings. His rule of life has been to atteud to bia own business, not dabbling in politics or meddling with the affairs nf others. His life has been la quiet, ideal one away from the "raaddiug crowd" and "baEe igno ble strife." The young mm of the land should follow hie footprints. Good Stands. So far as we have been able to gather from observation ana what others say the farmers have been greatly blessed this year by fault less stands of cotton and corn .ex cept on stiff and cold red land on wu ich cro| s are always several weeks late coming up and growing off. The yield and profit of the year's work depend largely upon the stand. The same quantity of [fertilizer has been put upon thu laud and the same work is requir ed in cultivating a crop that came up irregular as one that is a fault less stand. The farmer who pre pared bis land well and has a good stand of corn and cotton has fought half of the battle. The Angler's Feast. The season of the year has ar rived for pond cutting and drain ing and those possessed of angling propensities are in the heydey of their glory. A partv or club com posed of gentlemen from Trenton, Johnston and Edgefield, pooling their interests, chipped in and purchased the fish in the pond of Mr. B. B. Hughes,on Shaw's creek. At the appointed day, last Friday, tney met at the pond, drained the water off and the fish were laid bsre in great quantities. The pond yielded ap from its caves, caverns and recesses about 1,500 pounds of fish, a few weighing as much as 5 pounds. Buying fish in a pond ?6 very much like buyiug a pig in a bag. This timp, however, the pig turn'd out to be a full gr>wa hog. .

Mr. Ed i tor: Having waited and listened for some one to sound a uote of commendation for your prais worthy efforts to arouse an interest in Manufacturing enter pris's and uot having heard from any o.ie yet I wish to say through your columus that I think this is a feature of newspaper work that has in the past been overlooked and greatly neglected in Edgefield. I am sure that perserverance along this line by a local paper will lead to reeultB that will prove to be of lasting good to the commuuity. I hope at some future time to set forth through your columns the advantages to b9 derived from small enterprises, and to show so plainly where each and every per son would derive such great bener . rjt J..';;: ! ti aii<I -tv.:.'-' - y&S J eu life is made by Editor 0.

We WOG ld remind the members of the Board of Health that now isa very opportune time to make the usual Spring tour of inspec tion. The trite old saying that "a stitch in tune saves nine" is ap plicable here ; a little timely pre caution will save much sickness and suffering in the future. Gen tlemen of this board, the statutes have vested you with the power to make your own laws and the town council stands ready and willing to execute them to the let ter. The sanitary condition of our town will be largely what you make it. Being blessed with nat ural drainage Edgefield should have but very little sickness ex cept contagious diseases and cer tain epidemics that are not attri butable to local oauses. Let's have a Spring cleaning of premises gen erally. We believe that a mere suggestion or gentle reminder of its duty is all this very important board needs. It can be relied on to do its full duty. Atlanta Journal : Representa tive Talbert, of South Carolina,got off a good one on the lawyers re cently. It was during a debate on the pension bill. Representative Vandiver, of Missouri, was taking exceptions to something Mr. Tal bert had said on the floor. "Now if my friend was a law yer," said Vandiver, "he would un derstand these things." Talbert sprang to his feet aud in tones of mock indignation cried : "But I nm not a lawyer. I am an houast man. Therefore I can not understand these pension things."
