Rev. N. G. Ballenger has very near exhausted himself, physic ally, conducting the services in .the ser-ies of meetings he has been carrying on in the Method .ist church for~ the past twelve days. He has delivered the message in a plain practical way ahd has had the closest attention from his large congregation. It \ is to be hoped that these sermons may be prodnctive of much good and that the Christian influence thus set to work may be far reaching and that many people may date their soul's salvation from some one of th~eso sermons. Easter morn dawned bright ( and beaubiful. The dark clouds which had overshadowed the "earth for three days melted away, and the majestic sun soon kissed away the lingering rain drops,leaving the flowers' foliage refreshed and lovely.

We are truly glad that the opportunity has been presented to him and feel sure that his churches on this charge will gladly excuse him from fill ing his appointments next Sun day. However, we are glad to state to them that they shall not go hungry, for Mr. Ballenger has arranged that the meat of the gospel shall be delivered to them and has arranged to have his appoinTments supplied on that day, so attend your church at the usual hour.

While their- friends her( hate to give them up they wisi 'for them peace, Prosperity an< A Game Two Can Play At. LIBERTY, April 21. Mn. EEIToR:-I had thought to keep mum, and watch the procession go by., but "when I the band begins to play" a cer tain tune "I just can't keep still." When a new paper Is spoken of, and the Farmers' Union Is mentioned in connec tion, I wish to state that any paper coming from Greenville, that hotbed of Union discord incubators, as is well-known to every well-informed Union man In the State, and attempt to pass as a Union paper, not only it but all who aid in foisting it upon the farmers of Pickens, or any other county, as to that matter, will be treated with the utmost contempt by every in telligent farmer with whom it comes in contact. A Pickens County Farmers' Union paper issued from a city in another county, and by parties whose stock in trade so far as the Union is concerned has been to rule or ruin, Is not worthy of a moment's consideration of any man, ruch less a Union man. FARMEMs' UNION MAN. MR. EDITOR:-I notice that there is a paper to be put out in Pickens in opposition to the Sen tinel Journal, because of the stand the editor has taken in the recent school trouble. Do the people .of Pickons.. realize how that will injure them for the Sentinel-Journal has helped to bring Pickens up to her present prosperous condition. Time and again has the editor sought to dissuade the people from sending money off to these "mail-order" houses,and advised its readers to patronize home merchants. Now these same merchants fire boycotting him. For what? Simply because he did not toler ate the unmerciful beating of a little child, and for denouncing favoritism among teachers. Be cause a part of -the patrons say the school is all right, is no sign that all get justice. Perhaps they are on the favored list. If you hear of a man who has hy drophobia, and you say "I dont believe it, for I have never been bitten", does that provethere is no mad dog? Oh nol And be cause liquor has never caused you nor yours trouble, is that* ,any sign that it is not an evil? Come, friends, let us reason to gether awhile, and suppose the case reversed, and little George Edens had 'torn, scratched, or: bitten-for he couldn't whip-' 1the teacher until her flesh was black and blue would ydu, now, truthfully, would you have taken the stand you have, had the (ditor printed it? Ah, no! The teacher herself would have Isaidl the editor did'nt use too ston language, nor use too large' head line in his article. .No, and if either one of those children had been yours, Mr. Trustee you1 4know good and well .you would not have taken th e part you have In trying to down the Sen-1 tinel-Journal. The editor has started a reform that will do! goods for tine to conT)C. How many children have had to suffer1 because their parentrs were not trustees or they did'nt happen to be a favorite. IT know whereof I speak, and I .role the senti mont of hundreds of children miud their parents when I say he Sentinel-Journal should re selve words of praise Instead of 1ensure for what he has said. As for boycotting the Sentinal Fournal, that's a game several 3an play at, as there are more nerchants to trade with than hose who seek to put the editor )ut of business; more physicians han one you can call when you 1eed their services. The mer ,hants of Pickens have digged a >it for the Sentinel-Journal that hey will surely fall In them ielves-watch and see. Well, now brother farmer, are rou going to be a catspaw In his most contemptible business >f boycotting? I think not, for ;he editor gives the farmers un on space free, and if you do not use it, he is not to blame. The rarmers are-so far as I have 4eard-standing shoulder to ihoulder with the editoi in his roubles, not that they believe xe does right at all times-for who does, but he has never tried o put another man out of busi iess,and although he will sustain ;emporary loss, yet I verily be ieve that he will come out more ;han conqneror, for truth will iot :e downed. I predict for the paper to be stronger than ever "when the Aouds have rolled away". Sev 3ral have said that if the boy ,otters send them their paper bhey will surely send it back, a rate it surely deserves. Let us hear from the Sentinel Journal's correspondents on this :oycott-what you think of it, wrhat you think the possible out -ome will be. The Sentinel ournal imust not, cannot, vill iot fail. Haa -:an, if you ro iiember made a gullows to hang qordeceai on, with what results til bible readers are familiar. A. M. PRINCESS FLORA, 'he Famous Palmist, is Here.

She It was who, while' filling an engagement at Pitts2: burg, traced on the map the fa mious Beaumont, Texas, oil fields, and located what has sinde proved to be the greatest oil fields in existence. While In Toronto, Ohio, Prin cess Flora read the palm of Mr. John Johnson who Is one of the stock holders in an oil prospect which was about to be aband oned. When she read his hand she said, "You are Interested In an interprise located in a west erly direction fron Toronto, which will prove better than you expect." Mr. Johnson at once consulted his colleagues, and they wient to work wvith .renewed energy, with the result that oil was reached.

You will regret it if you do not have her read your palm while she is in Pickens at the Hiawatha.Hotel. Marriage Bells. What is there in the vale of life Half so delightful as a wife; When friendship, love and peace combine To stamp the marriage-bond divine. -Cowper. A pretty home wedding was solemnized on the 15ths inst., at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Win. J. Smith, in Easley, when their youngest daughter, Pearl, linked her life with that of Frank McFall, . Rev. D. W. Hiott performing the ceremony with an impressive yet simple and exceedingly pretty service which made them man and wife. The bride was becomingly gowned. and the groom wore the conventional suit. After con gratulations refreshments were served. The wedding was a' quiet one, witnessed only by the immedi ate relatives of the contracting parties and a few intimate friends. After an evening 'most pleas antly passed in a social manner, the groom brought his prize to the home of his mother, in Pick ens, where the happy couple are pleasantly domiciled for the present. In the marriage of this-couple we are reminded of the couplet from "Comedy of Errors": "I, wkll - fasten on this sleeve of thin I; Thou artan elm, my husband, I a vinie. Therlde is young lady of many igaces of mind and per son, who is c~gable of filling the homne sle swill adorn with hiap pibese, and will prove toibe tru ly- a helpmate - and Wompanion to the, hsog sihe taasthosen to honok' with her heart and hand; The'groom, is from one of ouir best favnlliest, and by those who know he 'Is consideired ione of the substantialT ard coming young --din of our ,town, who will make his mark as a worthy son of' worthy parents. Ciongratulations on the happy event are numerous and this paper is greatly pleased on this occasion to addits hearty good wishes to those being so freely extended.

And you know of a tale whose mereo telling aloud Would cause his proud head to in anguish be bowed, It's a prety good plan to for-.
