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. Callings from Cypress. Cotton pickers are being paid 50cts a hundred. A cotton buyer would do well to locate at Cypress.

Murray preached at this place on last Sunday morning to a Urge congregation. 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. C. D. E. Darlington, S. C., Aug. 18,1890. 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- Points from Pliiliulclphin. 1 1 ■ «• Cotton is opening rapidly.
