Edgefield's celebration of the an niversary of the dawn of deliveran/jc, on Monday next, promises to be a very grand and enthusiastic demon stration.

A very pleasant novelty in the midst of our midsummer dullness has been the appearance-among us of Miss Annie~ Maria Barnes,' "editress and proprietress of that inimitable paper for ladies and children, thc "Acanthus," ...publichedmonthly at Atlanta, Ga." .'For ladies and-xhil-ei dren par excellence, but delightful and instructive for all ages- and all sexes. Miss Barnes is a brave and talented Ceorgia girl, and the opera tives i? her establishment are all fe males. She deserves success for her energy and independence ; and more than ail this, she is an affable and polished lady, of education and taste. She is still among us, the, guest of the Rev. J. W. Barr, and j we take great pleasure in bespeaking for her the courtesy and patronage of our people. We are delighted to laarn that our esteemed fellow-citizen, Dr, W", Scott Sheppard, who for the last six wests I has been bathing at the famous Hot ! Springs of Arkansas, finds himself very decidedly reinvigorated ; so much so in fact that he will remain in the Trans-Missisaippi department for still another month. Wetermelons, imitating the ther mometer, are rapidly declining. Five eeoc* ix now a healthy price-can't vouch foe the melon, though.

At last accounts melons were ?head. The extreme f^cft weather does not devastate Sergt.

QUERY : "Why will men smoke Common Tobacco, when they can buy ??arl-urg Bro??.' 1 Seal of North Caro lina,' at the same price ?" Brittani. WILON i rucE, of Edgefield County, died at his residence in the Village bf Edgefield, on the 20th of May, 1878. He was horn on March 14th, 1814. He was married February 26th. 1844, and was a member of the Baptist Church 34 years. Mr. GRICE was a quiet and good man. He. was remarkable for great kindness of heart and affection. In his family he leaves a devoted wife and two children, who mourn their loss. During his confinement, which was mostly in bed, he gave abundant proof of his trust in Jesus, and his pntient submission to His^ilL May God bless and comfort the hearts of those to whom his death was ko ?&d an affliction. A FRIEND. DIED. July 8th, 1878, at the residence of her father, Mr. L. W. Youngblood, Miss ELIZA WIGFALL YOUNGBLOOD, in 'jthe 17th yearof her age. "No ; thou art the victor, Death ! Thou earnest ; and where is that which spoke From the depths of the eye when the bright soul awoke? iLGono with the Hitting breath." Death always brings ia.bis train sor I'row; sadness "and gloom, even though he? claims for his victim one bearing the silvery lock of age and tottering under its decrepitude. But with what peculiar sadness do we surrender to his icy grasp the bloom.iug youth, and especially one so gentle, so lovely and so promising as was the subject ot' th's notice. We knew -ELIZA well. For seveial years she was a dear pnpil, and we do not hesitate to say that seldom in life do we meet with on? of her age in whom were so fully developed those noble traits of character that give to true womanhood its attrac tiveness and power. Gentle, modest, kind and true; in a word o? unexceptionable deportment in her associations' wf th f'rjerjds and strang ers, she ever merited and ajjyays won this title-a charming giri. Bus .?he is gone. The hitherto unbroken family circle has lost one ol its dearest members, and society one who promised to be one of its brightest ornaments. The ways of God are mysterious. Judging from a human standpoint, the sweejLseirjfad and amiable are often called to sudor ;?;o$f, /md those who appear to be the most useful aro tff? ^oj?nebt to be taken away. Elizasut?ered severely and tong,- but we will not question the wisdom nor tue loveof Him who " doeth all things well." He, through her, was teaching His own lessons. We eau never forget what we saw and beam at a time when, apparent ly in the very grasp of death, she seemed and sweet as she Joineu in the heaiftiml songs that were euug by her request. How auxiously and earnestly did She feel after the promises of God until she found herself clinging to the Kock of Ages; then, rising up in the strength of the Lord of hosts, she seemed to real ize M*a& Wl9 ?as grappling with the monste* Soo of GfQti iciunipli t'orting her peg||08tj " WjH you mepi. me lo neaveu?" Yes, ELIZA, all is well wtth theo.. We know nothing of the Hoods of rapture that have ere this burst upon thy soul. We have committed thy body to the tjmb, adopting the sentiments of the fol lowing lines: " Earth, guard what here we lay in holy Thai Which haih ?eft aflr feoiro % dark ened placet1 f " Wanting the form, the smile, now veiled with dust, Tho light departed with our loveliest face. Yet from thy bonds undying hope springs free ; Wo jWQ br|t lent our beautiful to thee. But thou, kt Headen i k??.h, ?gftli *'haf '.noa hast taken,' And with our tr?asure keep our hearts on bight The spirit meek, ?ud yet by pal? un shaken.

Several years ago, differences growing out of a misunderstanding as to the terms of die half loan policies occurred; be tween yon and the Company, to le tb ese, the Companv engaged the services of Mr. J.

Owing to the magnitude of the business in Edgefjeld and adjacent Counties/ and that so few pa?es ape exactly alike, there still remain a number wqoir} we have seen and not yet arrived at terms of set tlement with, and ? much larger number whom we have not seen at ail.
