This is one of the most important features of the whole thing, and the citizens should give it very careful considera> tion, as a few mistakes along this linq may cost thousands of dollars. We have many good citizens and good business men, who doubtless will be willing to serve when a majority of the people request It, and everybody should come out, and nominate the men of his choice, and then support the nominees at the election on next Tuesday. This will be the Democratic principle, and in line with Cheraw's past politics.

The following letter to the Southern Christian Advocate will be read with Interest by a great number of our readers who are not readers of the Advofcate: . It Is late, but not too late, to say that a most cordial welcome was given us when we arrived in Chesterfield, and further, to express! our appreciation of great kindness off the go^meopla o| ever served a mcj*e 1 j agblul a^fl liberal souled pe*)le. May taey rich^ rewarded for their, goodness to this humble itinerant and his family during last year. But as to our present work: The Lord has blessed us in our labors. A few weeks ago we raised the debt on St. Paul's church. The debt was j nearly $1,300. Then Mr. W. D. Craig gave the church a splendid piano. So we are in better position to do good work. We began a meeting at St. Paul's the fourth Sunday in March and continued nine days; though the rain interfered so that we missed a few (services. The meeting would have continued for some days had I not gotten sick. Also fny good co-laborer here, Brother T. B. Owen, was sick. So there was nothing to do but close the meeting. However, I am sure much good was done. The Spirit Iwas manifestly present. Two joined the church, with possibly others lo follow. At Shiloh and Zoar I have missed some appointments on account of snows and rains, and consequently feel that I have done but little so far in those congregations. I must mention also the surprise given us recently by the St. Paul's congregation. They brought many good things for the inner-man. Not cnly at this time, however,/ but all along we have been the recipient of n;any kindnesses. We shall try to do better service. The outlook is bright, but there is much to be done. Better Sunday schools, a deeper and more general t h] * n aIaC.i* ii>is&iuuai j 0^11 it, a ciuotji icuv/nouip : with God on the part of Christians, and a soul-saving rlvival at each church, is the burden of our heart ' Our presiding elder, Brother Massabeau. was with us during the last big snow, and no service was held Sunday. However, those who were present at quarterly conference on Monday were most favorably impressed 'and helped by his inquiry into and discussion of the Sunday school work. L. L. Bedenbaugh.
