We complete our critique on Gen. . Torrest by Wolesley. The articles are long, but we don't think their perusal will weary the reader, especially-those of us who like to fight our battles over again.with Forrest. Who knows but that if Lee had escaped to the mount ains of Virginia and not surrendered at Appomattox, and that if Forrest had been put in command of all the Confederate cavalry we might not have fulfilled the .dream of Jefferson Davis and "done 'em up?" A Christian Soldier. It is gratifying to those who know him well, to see the venerable Capt. James Dorn, now in his eighty-fifth year, worship in our village 'Baptist Church. Capt. Dorn is probably the only surviving convert of the great revival of 1831; the most memorable and permanent ever experienced in the history of this church. The truth, beauty, and simplicity of the religion of Jesus is strikingly exemplified in the life and character of this faithful servant of Ciirist. Wants to bc an Angel. In the list of delegates to the Re publican Reform convention, which assembled in Columbia a week or so ago, the name of J. W. Logan occurs as a-delegate from Edgefield. Mr. J. W. Logan,/if the Gilgal community, tells us that there may be other J. W. Logans in Edgefield county, but the Gilgal Logan wasn't there. The Gil gal Logan was a Democrat in his cradle and he'll be a Democrat in his tomb, aud if there's going to be any Democrat angels he wants to be one of 'em, and we believe he will be. Opera House Services. According to announcement, a series of religious meetings were commenced in our Opera ?House on last Sunday night. Although these meetings were gotten up by Rev. A. B. Watsonof our village M. E. Church, up to this writing that gentleman has been too unwell to attend. Mr. Bass, Mr. Plowden, Mr. Booth, Mr. Waits, and Mr. Lake are conducting the services, and other ministers are expected. There are two s ?rvjces each?day.o ie at llo'clock in the forenoon and the other at night. Large audiences are present, a good many coming from the country. The singing is under the special direction of Mr. Marshall, who was for a long time with 3fr. Tillman in his tent meetings. Mr. Marchall is assisted by Mr. Beall, Dr. Prescot t, Mr. li. E. Jackson and ot hers. Read Them All. We have a large batch of communi cations this week on both the outside and insidiex>f the old paper, of which we are pardonably proud. Of the communications on the outside, how ever, we are "stuck" on G. L. Ti m mer man's letter, which ends with that delectable little classic, "Goat eat the watcrmillion." George may not know it, in fact very few do know it, but Caesar's soldiers sang this same song with a little variation after the battle of Pharsalus. There the song went somehow thus : Caesar eat the wat erm i ll ion. Pompey eat the rind, C.'esar takes a triumph, Pompey takes to wine. If you should ask the editor of the ADVERT?S KR how_ he knew that Casar's soldiers sang this song after the battle of Pharsalus, he might answer you as did the little boy who when asked how he knew the exact date nf his hirth,' responded : "Wasn't I there?" Highly Appreciated. "We return thanks to Mrs Satoher, of Wards, for an art arranged bouquet of' mag Howers. Kev. Mr. Watson 111.

Cut'Theni Dowii?. . Th? proposition to'cut do wi trees on our square is being m by our town council. Let the fell be done.' They are even now shells-dead sea apples of their f( selves-green without but rotten in. They are dying inch by inc can-last but a few more years a most. Eight or ten years ago these were the pride of our town an< talk of the country side, vigc stately, beautiful; but the fiat ?fpxth, "They must be topped," an barbarian got in his work. They topped, and from tnat moment menced their decay. Beginnig a top, little by little, they rotted crown to root. . Well do we remember an inci ^hat happened at the time this >baric dee^d was accomplished and mutilated limbs -arid branches lying on the ground. A gentle from the country, passing ?\ro and seeing the work of destruc that, had been done, asked: " toppeU thos? tree??" When told the tow? council did it he remai with more vigor than courtesy : "\ they are a pack of d-d fools." lt i not.be helped now; it is always late to correct, an irretrievable i take, and the truest repentance is to do so any more.

EDITOR :-Pleasant Lane and the region for several miles around has-very much ira proved within the last two years. Refinement, enterprise, industry better still, religion, haye made swift march. We can see from our perch on the piazza, or wide window seat every day, tony vehicles, fine horses, tony people, fly past. Some one said this might bc ascribed not only to great energy but from reading high-toned book Perhaps "Old Cumberland Gap's magie power extends this far No part of Middle Carolina i more picturesque than this part of Edgefield. From the edge of the front" porch we have such a rare picture spread out before us. Just fifteen minutes' walk from here is the old home, where lies buried for all time much that was noble sweet, true and good, thal will awake from sleep on the grand Easter morning which will reveal all things. We would like to paint exquis itely, equal to the two young artists. Wewouldcall the picture "Home among the Hills." * The quaint old house with its slanting roof, huge, old cedars whose blue shadows make the old rose-scented garden dark and cool, and 'neath the darkling yews and oaks, dim blue cedars,* and spicy airlie the good, the gifted, and the beautiful In the dim distance Bowles's blue peak do^ts the landscape: The "Big Boss" has all oMhe land around one thick carpet of tender green oats-oats every where. He also cultivates his uncle's places, his own hundreds of acres, and Dr. Nicholson's fine plantation this year, and is cer. taii?y-putting?n steam and means to "git thar." We trust he may compete successfully with Mr. L. B. Lamar, of Beech Island, or any other belted knight. Like Richard the Lion-hearted he was thrown from his horse a few days ago and is now hors de combat, but will be himself again soon. "Little Boss" comes over from "Stag's Retreat" every few days to overlook the plowing. He gives his opinion free on tho utter worth lessness of women. There is a lovely Northern fam ily recently come to live near this place, and you are sure to meet a dainty welcome at "Scrub Oak." Pleasant Lane h?s a good store owned by the popular Mr. Felie" Timmerman, who, with his clerk, will give you prompt attention Mr. Timmerman has recently built a pretty modern house on a pine dotted lawn, with nice garden, outbuildings, etc. Pleasant Lane possesses a good school taught by a fair Greenville girl. The young folk are making ready for a picnic which takes place to-morrow on the banks of Turkey Creek, near the bridge, whose kalmia grottoes look lovely now. "Little old devilish Martha" will be ring-leader ; they expect rare sport, and much fishing on dry land. If the boy photographer could only be up with his camera! One of Edgefield's sweetest girls, at whose feet languish all of the boys and whom everybody loves, "darling Florence"-will be there. Rose-bud Sophie Nicholson, too, and a perfect bouquet of girls, golden-haired Lilla, and ? team of beaux, Messrs. Branson, Blocker. Strother, Nicholson, Timmons, etc. As we write strawberry shortcake is browning, caramels cooling on the pantry shelf, chicken salad being prepared ; so blue skies for to-morrow, roses, creek banks, mischief, flirting, lunching. Did you ever go Down to the Ball game And pay out your tiffy cents? The answer 3 ou get Set down in the wet And wait till the clouds roll by, Oh, wait till the clouds roll by, dear; Oh, wait till the clouds roll by The answer you get Set down in the wet And waft till the clouds roll by.

The Emory High School closei the 10th of June, so we hear. Charlie says there is one good thing about the school's breaking and that is he can pay his respectf fo his best girl on Sunday evening, The way Charlie loves the women makes the old folks cry. Mr. J? D. Dunovant is* Beeing what virtue there is in sunshine since Prof's, school closed. ' You can hear him whistle "Swanee River" and sing "Kitty Wells" in the loveliest euphony. He is thinking then of past times whe"n he cast,a wistful eye at Miss-j "oh my!" says he. Well, peas and Irish potatoes are the watch word now, it seems. Mr. Editor, we had a few suet strings down here, and, you know, that hot weather melted them down. The old goat passed by and saw them. He said, "You all look as if you had stickibility about you." They did not respond, but looked sheepish. After a while they came to the conclusion that they had more of the "stick" than they wanted. They told the goat if he would knock them.loose that they would vote for him and give him a big dinner besides. Ile knocked them headlong, not for the sake of their votes, but for pity's sake. You see backbone alwaysg ives the graceful shape. JOHN BLAKE. Mine Creek, S. C./May 15, '92. How Folk Academy School Spent a Holiday. MR. EDITOR:-The school had been wanting a holiday for some time, but was undecided when tc have it. The school suggested to have it the first Friday in May at Landrum's mill. We had not fully decided when to have it until Thursday (May 5) while we were eating our dinner. Our mothers were not notified in time to prepare us a fine dinner, but we had as nice a one as could be wished. All were glad when the time came to go. We reached the appointed spot at about 8:30 o'clock a. m. Now the time came for us. to amuse ourselves in any way that we found best. Therefore some went out rambling amoug the beauti ful rocks and gathering the lovely flowers, while others were amus ing themselves by fishing. In the ramble (now Master Albert Bowers," I am going to tell on you,) while away from most o? the school boys and girls and with some of the grown people, coming to a high log across the creek, and wishing to cross to the other side, they said that it was quite amus ing to see our sprightly little lad get down upon his all-fours and maka sure his crossing to the othei side. ' Master * Webb Holstein acted with quite a kind spiril towards the little children by helping them across the logs and upon the high rocks. Just before we ate pur dinner, Mr. W. W Holstein and some of the boy* engraved their names on the trees Now the time came for our fish fry After the fish were fried came th< time for eating, which we al enjoyed very much. After we hac finished our dinner some of tb children recited pretty poems an( sang songs abont the lovely flowers One of the pieces that was recitec contained these words : Put. by your books and slates to-day! This is the sunny sixth of May, And we will go this afternoon Over the hills and far away. After the pieces were rocitec and while we were yet taking,ou noon Master Clyde Wise gave U6: little surprise, having brough his bathing suit he softly step down into the deep water of tin creek and cut up such feats a only a boy of twelve can in th water, In the afternoon we went ou upon the high rooks and recite* some of the pieces whioh we rocitei at our Easter service. Whil sitting on a very high rock by th roadside we heard a vehicle com ing and we were asked to be ver quiet while it was passing by to se if the man would see us. Just a he got in front of UB he glance his eyes np -nt us and said ; ''You all look liko buzzards ur. ,,ere.'; Of course, that was not ry nice . compliment, 'but w not. get 3 offended iu"th.e hem or we went ? on ?ujoying om^elveB ns usual ? Some of ?6 had a pleaf ant boatride 3 whilh nthers were-afraid to venture, 1- After our long stroll which wae ; very pie asant the time came for 3 us to leave for home. We left thern at about 5 oclock p. m. ? . think we children will reni - ember'how we spent our school 3 holiday for many years to come, and how sad it is to think that we i all may_never again spend' school 3 holiday togther. f LOTTIE ETHEREDGE. A Card From Mr. Bussey. 3 MR. EDITOR:-After consulting i; with as many of the pastors^of the , Edgefield: Association as we could t See, it was agreed that, in view of . the importance of the Missionary ? Centennial movement, we should try to hold some special meetings 3 at some central points in the in terest of this object. So to-day, i in conference, the Red Hill church , resolved to invite all the Unions i to meet svjth her on the 5th Sun - day, and Saturday before, in July, i Thus all the churches in tjie As sociation can be brought together ; and an appropriate programme i arranged for the occasion.
