At the recent protracted services at Stevens Creek church, conduct ed by Dr. Gwaltney and Rev. John Lake, eleven persons united with _4he church and were baptized.

There is no such club. The one called Meri wether No. 2 should be Meriwether Club pure and simple, and unde filed by addition, subtraction, or division. Mrs. Jefferson Davis is said to be about to lease her Beauvior es tate in Missippi so that by install ing responsible tenants there she can prevent the decay of the old homestead and preserve its con tents intact. It is asserted that furniture, books, silver, and china known to have been the property of the family appear mysteriously and frequently in the curio and pawn shops of New Orleans, and a stop would be put to these petty larcenies if the home were perma nently occupied. The estate is a very charming one for a winter home. Edgewood Church was the scene of a pretty and very important event to the participants Wednes day night. It was the occasion of the marriage of Miss Fannie Fer rell of this city to Mr. Edwards, now of Washington, D. C., but j formerly of Edgefield county. Rev.: Mr. Wroton performed the cere-1 mony and the simple ritual of the Methodist Church was used. The church was profusely decorated and the whole scene was one of beauty.

Th price of bagging has gone up an? is about 3 cents higher than it wa last year. What about trial justices? Wi! the terms of those now in oiric expire when Gov. Tillman's tern is out? If so, aspirants for this of fice had best have their lamp; trimmed and burning. Some farmers in this vicinity who had grass in their cotton ac tually went to work and cut it ou with reap hooks and grass bladei and cured it for hay, thus makin? two crops where only one was ex pected. The weather far the last tet days has been all that farmeis hearts could wish, and the cottor and corn that had been ruined hai come out and found not to bi ruined at all. Of course, thif isn't true as to some sections. It is said by some that the Lore gave Cleveland to the d?mocrate to keep them from being proud Then in their great liberty thej passed him along to the country al large, thus all of the American pride is well nigh smothered out -Bruceville (Tex.) Herald. Judge J. D. Allen, who has been confined to his bed for some days, is out again, we are glad to say, and at his office, the duties ol which have been attended to du ring the Judge illness by a popuiar kinsman, Mr. Hord Allen, We feel safe in predicting that Judge Allen will be re-elected. Next Tuesday is tie regular pri mary for all offices at which all white democrats can vote. There won't be any more primaries this year in the day time that we know of, but there'll be another election in November, the grand finale of tho whole business. We believe there'll be only two more State con ventions. We doubt the expediency of put ting a low grade of liquor in the dispensaries at a reduced price. In Norway, whence we get our dis pensary law, the price of liquor has been raised three separate times, and all in the interest of good mor als and less drinking; at the same time the revenues from the sale of liquors have been increased. lu the absence of Dr. Gwaltney Rev. John Lake filled the pulpit in our village Baptist church last Sunday. His sermon was founded on the text, "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it ie in heaven." To one who had not heard Mr. Lake preach since his first entrance into the ministry his discourse was a surprise, so smooth and polished was his style, so logi cal and connected his arguments. Mr. Lake preached with all his wonted earnestness and warmth, and his illustrations were drawn from events of today. As a pul pit orator he is already most at tractive, and we doubt not he will attain the highest results possible in his profession. The Augusta Eveuing News of Saturday, thus sper.ks of Dr. Gwaltney's presence in that city: "The pulpit of the First Baptist Church will be filled to-morrow by Rev. L. R. Gwaltney, D. D., pastor of the church at Edge field, South Carolina. Doctor Gwaltney ranks high among the Baptist ministry, and has held im portant positions in the denomi nation. As an educator he has few superiors. For years he was Pres ident of Shorter College, this State, which place he resigned to accept the pastorate at Athens. From there he went lo Edgefield, his former home, where he is en gaged "for life" in the ministry and in the school. He was after the war principal of the famous Edgefield Academy. Three of his former pupils now reside in Au gusta, viz : Mr. Z. W. Carwile, James M. Anderson, and Prof. J. j Cuthbert Shecut. These gentle men will no doubt greatly enjoy the Doctor's sermon on the mor row " \ Don't neglect to vote for State Senator. A big lot of Straw Matting from SO/ to 40/ per yard, at Ramsey ct Bland's.

"Nevada, or The Lost Mine," a drama iu three acts, under the management of Prof. B. C. Wever, will be produced on Friday, Aug. 31st, in our Opera House. This popular drama has been before the public for a number of years, and is always received with enthusiasm. It is a drama in the true sense, be ing humorous, pathetic, and dra matic. At one moment the audi ence is convulsed with laughter, and at another moved to tears, and at times held spellbound. Nevada is a play of merit and never fails to please. Admission, 25 cents.

Applicants for admis sion, from this county, will be ex amined at Edgefield on Friday, Sept. 14th. Two beneficiaries are allowed to Edgefield this year. Disease Among Cows. On Monday of this week Mr. Samuel W. Gardner, of the Ropers section, lost seven cows from the bloody murrain. Mr. Gardner has fifty-seven head of cattle and is apprehensive that others may have the same fatal disease. The remedy, if given in time, is salts and nux v?mica, but in tbe latter stages of the malady is of no use. For the Senate. Col. R. B. Watson is announced ' this week for the State Senate to fill the unexpired term of Senator W.H. Timmerman, who has been nominated for Lieutenant Gov ernor. It is unnecessary to say that Col. Watson fills all the bills required by the people of Edgefiold county of a candidate for this ex alted position-the highest in their gift as a county. We say this with out prejudice toother possible can didates, for we know of no others. Examination for Wofford.

Mr. Swearingen Replies to Mr. Whitlock, and With this the Correspondence Must End So far as the "Adver tiser" is Concerned. MR. EDITOR: In reply to Mr. Whitlock I propose to take his Bide, his own statement, and show the result. Now, Mr. Whitlock says, "As secretary of that club 1 felt it my duty to report everything just as it was, and I did." Futher more, he says, "all ihose that sign ed that certificate you had publish ed are antis except one, J. J. Boys worth." The following is a correct list of every member of the Old Wells Democratic Club who were present at the meeting held on the 27th day of July last: Elbert Mundy, J. C. Sweareugen, J. H. Carpenter, John Boysworth, J. M. Bryant, Yancy Bryan, John Fagan, Samuel Murphy, JameB Smith, W J Whit lock, James Whitlock, J. E.Green, J. D. Harden, A. W. Bawkman, Preston Carpenter, Walter Carpen ter, B. A. Carter, E. J. Mundy, A. S. Swearengen, Henry Smith, O..B. Whitlock, L. W. Whitlock, Mr." Weatbersby. This makes 23 in all. Thirteen of these signed my certificate, and Mr. Whitlock says all except one were antiB, which, according to him, gives 12 antis. Now, 12 from 23 leaves ll, and if his own state ment is correct, then ll Tillman ites sleeted Tillman delegates to the county convention when they were a minority of those present. As for your efforts to bring in per sonalities, I shall only, treat them with silent contempt. .. . .. JOHN C. SWEARING EN. [For the ADVERTISER. Mine Creek Notes. MR. EDITOR: Hot weather and fodder-pulling are going hand in hand around here. Oh, that we could take the "wings of the morn ing and fly, as it were, to the utter most parts of the earth, and there be at rest." Less hot weather, no fodder-pulling at all, and oh ! what a time we would have. A refreshing shower is almost in dispensable for this part of the county now. Cotton is at a stage now where it is do or die. Late corn on low lands is nearly a failure in these parts. We had the pleasure of attend ing the last day of the protracted services of the Good Hope Baptist Church on last Saturday. The meeting was conducted by that eminent young divine Rev. G. P. White. There was great interest manifested, and a large member ship enrolled, we are not certain how many. After greeting many frieads, we in company with Mr. John Lewis, made our way for the region above Halfway Swamp Creek, where we safely arrived at the hospitable home of Mr. Henry Walton. After a-lighting and being received with a most hearty welcome by all the family, Mr. Walton brought out a melon, which to say the least, was "chief among ten thousand." Mr. Walton doesn't raise Kolb Gems, but these that-what do you call them?-oh ! these fit for "ye gods," that is what they are. After getting through with the melon, we took a walk over Mr. Walton's crop, which is tip-top all over. Hold on. If you want to know any more about that melon you ask Mr. C. C. L. Mr. Walton's cotton bids fair for a bale per acre. His com is excellent, too. On the morrow we went over.to Mr. Caleb Walton's, a brother of the former, where we had melons, etc., served up to us in like manner. The Messrs. Waltons are as suc cessful farmers as the county can afford. Miss Milbrie Ridlehoover, one of Augusta's most lovely and ac complished belles, ia visitiug friends and relatives here and at Red Bank. Mr. -, who is remarkable for his loving kindness, is looking with fear and trembling to the time when she shall make her exit. Mr. J. D. Dunovant is teaching in the Indian Creek section.

EDITOR: After a lapse of three yearB I again assume the position of correspondent for the ADVERTISER, As everybody is interested in the crops, Twill begin by saying that the outlook is anything but encouraging, with a few exceptions. I never saw cotton have finer weed, but there is very little grown fruit on it. Corn, however, is as fine as the lands can bring. So far as hog and hominy are concerned, I con sider the farmers in a more pros perous condition than at the begin ning of the year. It was my pleasure to worship with the people at Red Hill on last Sunday. Rev. Geo. Bussey, that earnest and zealous Christian worker, is conducting a protracted meeting at that place. Already considerable interest is manifested, and no doubt many sinners will be converted unto God. Mr. Henry Bussey is making ex tensive preparations for ginning at Red Hill. He has just purchased a new outfit of latest patents, in cluding an elevator. Mr. Bussey will be well equipped for handling the crop this year. The patrons of Red Hill Acad emy met on la?t Saturday to dis cuss plans for re-opening the school.
