A Pointer for Farmers.
The excellent essay on the “Im
provement of land by the pea fallow”
read before the County Agricultural
Society on the occasion of its anniver
sary meeting at the fair grounds on
the second Tuesday in August was
from the pen of Capt. Edward E.
Evans, of Society Hill, whose well
known ability as a writer on agri
culture as well as his practical suc
cess as a farmer makes this article a
valuable reference sheet for all far
mers. Capt Evans has grappled
more successfully than any one we
know the problem of free negro la
bor, as evinced by the large crops
which, under his skillful direction,
have been made on his plantation
since the war. We commend the
article abovd 1 named to the careful
study of our farmers.

Rev. J. W. Murray preached at

Died,
At her home in Darlington, on
Saturday, August 16th, Mrs. Lizzie
Bristow Dickson.
A faithful, true friend, an earnest
Christian w-oman has left a gap in
our circle which cannot easily be
filled.
At the early age of fifteen years
she was chosen organist of the Bap
tist church here, and later on her
service in the Sunday school showed
that strength of Christian character
which marked her as a faithful servant
of the meek and low ly Jesus.
The church has lost a faithful
member. The members of the choir
have to mourn the loss of a zeal
ous co-worker and dear friend. The
family is bowed down with grief at
the terrible gap made in the home
circle. She was scarcely twenty-four
years of age. In the first strength of
young womanhood she was cut off,
and so “one by one” must those who
now- stand with bowed heads and
bleeding hearts beside the new made
grave follow.
Soon will we tread the shore
She lias only reached before.
This tribute to her memory is paid
by one who knew and loved her.

Dust to Dust.
■ On Sunday morning at the Bapt ist
church the funeral service* of Mrs.
W. G. Dickson took the place of the
regular morning service. As the
solemn procession entered the chnreh
the choir sang, “Gathering Home.”
The hymns and all of the music sung
were favorites with her to whom this
last sad tribute was paid. Rev, G.
B. Moore selected as his text the
words: “But thanks be to God which
giveth us the victory through Jesus
Christ Our Lord”—1st Corrinthians,
15th chapter, 57th verse. He spoke
of the battle of life from its very in
ception. Each human life is sur
rounded by dangers, few of those who
are born reaching even middle age.
This conflict goes on until the final
enemy death comes in and claims his
own. So also is there another great
battle waged at the same time, the
never ending struggle with the pow
ers of darkness, the great battle of
the spirit in which nothing avails
but the help from the Holy Spirit
of God, through the divine media
tion of the Son of God. He spoke
of the Christian life of the deceased,
| of her victory over self. Her long
i service for the church was also
i spoken of in ve.y feeling terms,
| Whether as organist, where she had
! for eight years served faithfully, or
- as teacher of the infant class in the
I
Sunday school her work had been
done with an eye single to her high
est Christian duty. He spoke .alsoof
the vacant chair in (lie home circle,
and of the loss to the friends who
would know her no more on earth
! forever. In conclusion he pointed to
that higher and better life, that rest
which remaineth for the people of
God, and earnestly exhorted his
hearers to strive to follow the exam-
