r Edgefield Advertiser WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3,1895. L0CAL2 "L^?^r??S. ?MMIMMMMMi. .j DEATH OF MRS. DR. HILL. "Watch therefore for ye know not the day nor the hour wherein the Son of Man cometh." "Therefore be ye also ready." At midnight on last Sunda*' the spirit of the sainted Christian wo .man Mrs. J. \V. Hill, whom none knew but to honor and love, left the earthly home to dwell forever in the celestial mansion which her Saviour had gone to prepare. Why dwell on the character and life of such a Christian? Is it not repeating that whic.h many times . hasbeen re-echoed hythe hundreds of friends who loved ber? But do we ever tire of hearing the praises of those whom we love? Mrs. Hill migh be said t:> have been the founder of Presbyterian ism in Edgefield County. It was through li T efforts only, and by. her untiring perseverance and en ergy that the Edgefield Presbyte rian church was built. It was also through this samn influenc; that the other churches of "bis denom ination were built in this county, for the Edgefield village church was the first Presbyterian church in Edgefield. Who can measure the influences for good sent forth from these sanctuaries of God? "Who can know the vondrous working Who but. God who drew thc plan?" Mrs. Hill showed a sweet and trusting resignation in her death,I and the day of her deceas-- said .'0 Lord thou knowes' all things; thou knowest that I love thee." Til-re was Something magnetic in her disposition, a n-ouler sympa thetic and k-Viiig heart that never failed to blossom into d"eds of kindness and mercy 'o all with whom she come in contact. Many of God's hu ni hie ones have had their lives made brighter and . more endurable because she has lived in the world. And "God is not " unrighteous to forget your works and labors of love which ye have showed toward his name." Mrs. Hill has left her husband and one daughter to mourn their irreparab.e loss, but they are Christians and do not mourn us those without hope, for not many years hence we sha i I all have en tered the eternal habitation where "God shall wipe away nil tear? from our eyes, and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there he ma more pain, for the former things will have parsed away." "In the midst of life, we are in death, therefore let us put on the whole armour of God, and hold fast the profession of our faith without w^veriug." "And let us consider enc anoth er to provoke unto love and to good works, and so much the nore as ye see the da}' approaching." .

The Baptist Sunday school con vention of Edgefield County will meet with the Edgefield village Baptist church in July of this year. The "rope" talk is the latest thing in Y. M. C. A. work. Gen. Secretary Jam eson gave the Y. M. C. A. boys of Au gusta such a talk last Sunday after noon. The recent rise in cotton was pre dicated upon the general impression of a reduced acreage this season. Well, now, if we don't reduce the acreage we'll be in the soup again next fall. The blind tiger is a thing of the past, se far as the town of Edgefield is concerned. He may again rear his horried front, but just now he is quiescent. It seems to us that this blind tiger was created for political reasons alone and not for the inonr-y that was in it. Such being the case, if peace and unity obtain, as is now the ^outlook, tile illicit sale of liquor wi'l forever at an end. . ? ' . "Look for goodness, Look for gladness.

Sunday Horning Services. There being services in no othei church last Sunday morning, the con gregation In our Baptist church wai large, and all who were present fount a sweet compensation for their cull ing. Dr. Gwaltney was appointed tc preach the missionary sermon on thal occasion, but instead a memorial ser vice was held as a tribute to the great and good Dr. John A. Broadus, whe so recently has received that "crown of righteousness which the Lord the righteous Judge shall give to all them who love his appearing." Rev. J. P. Mealing, one of Edgeileld'i best loved ministers of Christ, occupi ed the pulpit with Dr. Gwaltney Brother Mealing impressed upon hit hearers the idea that though there arc few who possess Dr. Broadus' ge nius, we car all be faithful and lill the sphere ia life allotted to us as God would have- us till it, and that in the parable of the talents, the man of one talent was not condemned for his possession of one talent, but because he did not improve it." May we all hear that welcome plaudit, "Well djnc th >u good and faithful servant; thou bast been faithful overa few things, J will make the ruler over many things.'1 Dr. Gwaltney also paid tribute tc Dr. Broadus. His remarks were more of a biographical nature and were both interesting and instructive tc the audience. This service should give us all as Christians an impulse forward to carry on more faithful!" the de partment of work wherein wt arc serving. Sunda} Afternoon Services, it is the custom at all the union meet ings of the Edgetield Baptist church es to hold a Sunday-school mass meet ing on Sunday afternoon as an appro priate ending ol' the union. The young people especially, and the older peo ple as well were invited to attend snell services in our Baptist church lasl Sunday afternoon. The devotional exercises were conducted by Dr, Gwaltney, in the absence of the mod erator Mr. P. B. Lanham. Talks were made by Mr. A.S. Tompkins, and Mr, T. Ii. Lanham. Mr. Lanham, asa young man, deserves great credit for hh readiness to respond to the calls in this direction made upon him. His earnestness and close adherence to the sacred writ make his remarks especial ly edifying to those who listen. There are four tenants of the AD VERTISKR building, second floor. Upon taking a vote a few days ago upon the question of Woman Suffrage, we found two for and two against. A Veteran of the Mexican War. OAK HARBOR, OHIO.-"I met Geo. O.

Gosline. Your druggist sells it in powder or liquid; the powder to be taken dry, or made into a tea. Pease and Hominy. If peace and harmony is really the great desideratum in this State, then let the conservatives in our town res pond to the sentiment and to the cour tesy and grace shown that faction in the recent 40 Conference by dividing the members of our newtown council, to be selected next week, equally be tween the reformers and conserva tives. Give us the pease and you cake, the hominy or vice versa. Such a di vision would go a long ways towards proving to your country friends that you really mean what you profess to mean. We have never believed that it* is ever incumbent on the majority faction toequally divide offices with the mil ority, butsuoh is the fad just now and we the majority are doing that way with you. Now will the majority faction in our town, which happens to be conservative, do in this small mat ter as they have been done by in a much larger matter. Scientific Potato Growing. The San Francisco Examiner says that atone of the experimental agri cultural colleges in Germany the re markable yield of 42 tons of Irish po tatoes per acre had been obtained by treating the seed potatoes with sul phate of .niunonia. The potatoes were steeped for 21 hours in a solution of six pounds of saltpetre, six pounds ol' sulphate ol' ammonia and 25 gallons of water, and aiterwards allowed to stand and drain for a day, in order that their buds or sprouts might swell before planting. Now this yield was so wonderful (42 tons of potatoes 1400 bushels on one acre) that we hope some of our Edgefield farmers will try the same experiment. The materials are cheap .md easily obtained, and the trial might be made upon say one-eight of an acre reducing the quantity of salt petre and sulphate of ammonia in pro portion. Personal Mention.
