LOCAL ITEMS.
On Sunday afternoon next, at 5 o'clock,
the Rev. Mr. Leard will preacn in the
Methodist Church. The Episcopal Church
will be cloned, aud, probably, the Baptist.
Leard will also hold religious ser
at Hermony on Saturday morning
and Sunday morning next.
The protracted meeting begun at Mt.
Tabor on Friday last, by the Rev, W. T.
Hundley and the Rev. A. Pope Norris,
has proved oue of great interest, and is
Hp still in progress.
W The annual Baptist Sunday School
r Convention, for our Count3-, will take
' place this year at Mountain Creek
Church, in the upper section, beginning
on Friday, the 2nd of August. See the
Rev. J. P. Mealing's nolice, concerning
this Convention, in another column.
The people of the Mountain Creek neigh
borhood are already making generous
preparations to entertain crowds of
guests. And we earnestly hope that all
parts of Edgefield will take the liveliest
interest in so all-important a matter.
"'Hurrah for Hampton !" Old Edge
field, rigid or wrong, first, last ana for
ever !" See the spirited and beautiful
article contributed to the Advertiser this
weak by "Upper Saluda." Its literary
merit is great, and its tone is superb. Wc
are proud of our old school friend fer such
?high, patriotic and generous sentiments
and we take the liberty of telling his
name-Capt. J. Hampden Brooks. We
designed writing twenty or thirty lines

JOHNSTON, July 17th, 1S7S.
Several-years ago, differences growing
ant of a misunderstanding as to the terms
af the half loan policies occurred be

regardtdpnly as an honest difference of j

ivith the dasi la of each case, engaged me
to assist bill, our success has been very
general, miny have boen settled with

ulan, and cn terms entirely satisfactory
3wing to tbs magnitude of tho business
in Edgefieldand adjacent Counties, and
that so few ??'?es are exactly al i ko, there
still romain!:* niphbep whom wo have
seon and nol yet arrived at terms of set
tlement with, and a much larger number
whom we hive not soen at all. To all
such wo would say, have patience, we will
iall on you it an early day. In evidence
