I have not written you in a long time, however I have received the dear old ADVERTISER every week, for which 1 return many thanks. Being at leisure now, I'm dotting down a few it etas. Won't you give them a send oil' in your spicv pa per? Last Monday afternoon I took a drive over to Pittsburgh, a place that I had often desired to visit. I enjoyed a very pleasant outing in deed thanks to Mrs. Ida Sheppard who has a big, generous heart and often gives me a nice drive in lier buggy for "sweet charities sake." That afternoon we called on Mrs. Rice and her pretty sister Miss Foley, natives of West Virginia. Mr?. Rice is the youthful wife of the Superintendent of the Pitts burgh mines, and I think lier pret ty, piquant, goxl, and sensible. After showing us her home, and wonderful baby, she became our chaperone to the quarry. Lots of money must have been spent in buying the machinery, and various implements for carry ing on this work, and it is a great pity that th is industry closes u> next October. Accompanied hy Mr. Rice, we [licked our way over huge bould ers, and crags of rocks, and felt as though we were climbing the Alps. Th read ins our circuitous way, we reached the stockade. The squad of convicts with the guards passed us, looking picturesque and bru tal in their stripes and sullen faces. Some of the riff-raff were auda cious enough to touch I heir hats in passing. We looked in at the grating of the cells. Some were resting on bunk-i, others at. tanks of water washing their hands and faces. The whole scene suggested some vivid description of Victor Hugo's, or a painting by Dore. We were shown haunches of meal and platters of bread, preparing for supper. I suppose these mbera ble creatures are profitable. Ray ing goodbye to the mines we drove home with our laps full of wild flowers. April was a sad month for Edge field. So many deaths. Dear Mrs. Hill-"When the records of heav en shall be unfolded, her virtues shall be found written there in characters as durable as the vol ume of eternity." I AU South Carolina Baptist; mourn for Dr. Broad us. Miss Jan io Wan*law from Co loni bi a ii with Miss Twei li'.- J'ill l'or a visit. Wo tire brighter and better for her presence among us. Mrs. Minis of Augusta is with her daughter Mrs. Richard Tiro mons. Miss Maggie Sue Tannahill, win some blondi"1 and "up lo date." is visiting Mrs. DuBnse and I be Ba teses. The soldiers were out in full on inspection day. Whj' women with young children fur miles around, struggle and agonize to got. into tho inspection is a mystery I can't solve. Wc never grow tired of hearing Dr. Gwaltney's beautiful sermons. Tbero is a popular fallacy now among people who hare led blase lives, and who would lull con science that there is no eternal punishment, but we have no new methods for getting to heaven in our denomination.
