We had hoped to chronicle his convalescence ere this, and still hope he will not have a long siege of it. Mr. J. T. Ouzts, who has been teach ing so successfully in the Dom's ?lill section, is now in attendance at Wof ford College, where his correspondents will please address him for the future. Eggs are said to freeze at ten degrees above zero. If thia be so, then the temperature has been' as low as ten de grees above zero in Kdgefield this win ter, for eggs were frozen in the nests during the cold weather in December. There is considerable dissatisfaction at the way checks have been issued by our county supervisor during the past few weeks, lt is alleged there has _ na??" * good deal of "skippance." We, shall have more to say about this and kindred matters hereafter. Mr. J. T. White, of the Liberty Hil1 sect .on, has taken charge of the "Hotel Edgeileld," lately occupied by Mr. F. P.Sims. There are few better men anywhere than Tom White, and the people of Edgefleld welcome him and his with open anns to tiieir hearts and homes. The Sumter Herald says: "Wheu a well dressed farmer comes driving into town with a brand new buggy and fat horse it invariably turns out that he got out of debt by planting tobac co." 1 ds is a pointer to Edgetield far mers. Such is the craze in Edgetield for making patchwork quilts that a certain dog in town, it i ? said, has been trained to tear pieces out of calling young gen tlemen's trousers, the object being to gather up enough such pieces to make a lovely crazy quilt-it is supposed the calling young gentlemen will be crazy along with the quilt. Executors, administrators, guardians, trustees, and others acting in a fiducia ry capacity are required by law to make their annual returns by the first day of March of each and every year, to the Judge of Probate Parties in terested will be wise and do this thing at once. On last Sunday afternoon a lady and gentleman, lovers, so-called in the course of a walk took a rest on the steps of an Edge fie: d residence t hought to be vacant. Upon the unexpected appari tion of the chatelaine of the manor the young couple moved on, but the Acade my was near by and they sought sur cease and nepenthe on its friendly steps. If there is any one thing that needs to be purified, it is politics, so the re former says, and many agree thereto. But blood tells, andas a blood purifier and liver corrector Simmons Liver Regulator is the best medicine. "I use it in preference to any other.'"-So wrote Mr.S. M. Hysell, of Middleporl, Ohio. And Dr. D. s. Russell, of Farm ville, Va., writes, "lt fulfills all you promise for it." Edgeiield county has more than a hundred Confederate pensioners on her ! ist-I hat is, last year's list. But under a recent call by D. li. Durisoe, I chairman of the board, a large number of new applicants made their appear ance at bis office last week. They came down like a wolf on the fold and their cobtrts were gleaming, but not in pur ple and gold. No doubt there were some undeserving applicants, but they ali looked in need ol' the State's best offices. A bill has been introduced in the Legislature laying a tax ?of $2.00 on dog* and authorizing constables and other officers to kill all dogs over two years old on which the tax Las not been paid, the County to provide bniss tags, which must be worn by dogs on which the tax has been paid. It pro vides that the constable is to get $5.00 a scalp for the killingof dogs, the scalp to consist of the external ears connect ed by a strip of skin two inches wide, and must be accompanied by proof that the dog was two years old. But the legislature thought it best to kill the Bill rather than the dog which they accordingly did-just like 'em they think more of a dog than they do of a Bill, anda Bill may be a human being. Sorghum Cake. Inasmuch as there has been such an abundance of sorghum made in Edge iield, our sorghum editor has invented or evolved the following recipe for sorghum cake. Try it. Mix together one cup of sorghum, one tablespoonful lard, one teaspoon ft: I salt, two tea spoonfuls ginger and two cups of flour. Add 1 cup of boiling water into which a teaspoonful of soda has been stirred. Pour into a greased pan and bake in mod irately hot oven. ?3?F" For the best Fire Insurance on'Vown or country property, call on or write I). R. DUKISOK, Agt. In A Horn. A ?ruano horn-Baldwins Atrimonia ted Dissolved Bone, Acid Phosphate, and Kanit-for sale by NV. W. Adam-. Tobacco Man Wanted. Mr. J. Foster Cheatham wants to get a man thoroughly conversent with to bacco culture to experiment with the weed on his tann near our town. He will give him ten acres of land, of his own choosing, furnish a horse to work it also lumber to build a barn, and go snooks with him in the profits. All we fret out of the arrangement is forty pounds of smoking tobacco which will, of course, go up in smoke. More Carie Syrup. Mr. J. Milton Gaines made at his cane mill during the season just past, 1500 gallons cane syrup; Mr. J. H. Bur nett made GOO gallons, and Mr. John S. Mette made 1800 gallons; all this in the Phoenix and Gaines section of our county, Mr. C. M. Williams who lives in our suburbs made 1050 gallon:?. We desire to receive returns of every gal lon of syrup.made in Edgefield county last year and will esteem it a favor to get such information from any source. We believe there wasenough sweetness made to run the lines between Edge field and Saluda county. But we will not be able to prove it unless we can get the complete returns. An Old Man's Thoughts. Maj. relias Lagioon of the Mount Vernon section writes as follows : En" closed find one dollar and lift v cents?

I am old enough to have the privilege of saying this much on matters political : Tue Constitution Convention proved a failure.

We hope that every old soldier in reach of Parksville and every body else who will smile on our ef forts, will come, and let us perfect the organization that day. We think that if the old soldiers fror.. McCormick to the fork of the creek and river, and as far out as the Ked Hiil and Rehoboth will join us, we can have a large Camp.

CHUKCHES WITHOUT PASTORS AND PASTORS WITHOUT CHURCHES. Editor Edgefield Advertiser : DEAR SIR-Feeling a deep in terest in the cause of religion gen erally, and in the Edgefield Asso ciation especially, I write to ask why it is that so many of the churches in the Edgefield Associa tion are without pastois, where there are pastors and good pastors at that who are available? There is one here at the county seat who might be had I suppose, though I do not know, as he declined to let his name go before the churches he was serving last year, for re-elec tion for this year, and I have not consulted him as to his plans for this year. But this much I do know from experience and obser vation, being a member of a church which he served as pastor for seven years in succession (I speak of Brother P. P. Blalock.) He is second to none that I know of as a teacher of the Scriptures, and as au organizer and developer of a church. During the seven years immediately preceeding his pastorate of my church we had four as good pastors as the country afforded, and pastors that did their work well, no ono could Bay aught against them, but brother Blalock during his Bevan years with us, more iban doubled the work that was done during the seven year.-? that the four served m. Under the plan that he instituted in the church, there was more than dou ble the amount given by the church for missions, and the result was the same tis to ot uer charitable ob jects, besides adding more mem bers to tue church by experienc . ana b.tpt ism than were added du ring Mle seven years before he took charge. Ile performed all the or dinances of the church (such us baptizing, administering the Lords supper &c, with little assistance) hims=lf. And no doubt there are others that are available, but I jpeak of Bro. Blalock because I know that his time is not taken. Ido not s'*e why, Mr. Editor, any church in the Edgefield Associa tion need be without a pastor. Brethren, get pastors for your churches, for a church without a pa-dor, js very like a flock without a shepherd, they are soon scatter ed. Let us work for the upbuild ing of the Master's Kingdom in the land. And there is no other ?ray that I know of so effectual in that line,as having good pastors in our churches, pastors whose whole heart, soul, and mind are in the .vork, and laymen who will up hold his he.nds. Brethren, let us to the work LAYMAN. Edgefield, S. C., Jan. 27. Now is the time to sub scribe for thc Advertiser. CORRESPONDENCE SEMPMOMS IN A M VM A GLOWING TRIBUTE TO SOUTHERN GENIUS IN HISTORIAN, POET, AND PRIEST. Southern writers and authors have not received their m< ed of en couragement and t-upport, even from our own people. Much less do they get justice and ecknowledgo mcnl from northern literary breth ren. In Shaw's English and Amer ican Li!eraturn (revis"d by Back us), we see who.i; pagi j devoted io John Cotton, Jonathan Edwards, Cotton Mathew, while such men as J. P. Kennedy, author of Horseshoe Robinson, and W. G. Simms, our charming Romancer of Revolution ary tim?s, and who has not uuworth ily been called the "Scott of Caro lina," are merely mentioned by uatne! There is half a page devo ted to George Washington one of the Literary men of America! While I honor the "Father of our! Couutry" as much as any man in it, yet I believe in justice to all, and it will be no injustice to say that Washington was in no sense of that term a literary man. While bis farewell address breathes the spirit of loftiest patriotism and will be read as long as Free Ameri ca lives, yet considered apart from the occasion and the man. it has no literary merit 'to distinguish it from thousands of documents that have been yearly issued by public men. As regards language and style it is rather stiff and pompous, which fact puts it under the ban of the literary inquisition. But 1 do not mean to detract from Washing ton. His fame as a statesman need not be ?upplemented by lit erary reuowu, and it is in bad taste to thtust upon him something to which he made no pretentious. I do however protest against the injustice shown to Simm-?, Kenu^dy, Father Ryan, Albert Pike, and many others. Trun, R. M. John son, Bill Arp and a few mon; are read in the North, but they are patronized by the common people rather than by the elite. The ob jection may be urged that our wri ters for the most part represent some sectional prejudice and color their stories with local traditions and provincialisms. Admitted; but does not therein lie the whole charm of Scott's pictures of Scot tish life? Do not Dickens's stories smell of the London Garret, the oil tankard and the dock yard? Do not Whitter's poems have the genuine down east llavor? Iudeed, "localism" is the distinguishing merit of all realist c writers of fic tion. I desire more particularly to cali attention fr w'thout a peer, i tuiuK his best work is ''The Forayere," with "Eutaw" as a sequel. Some of his strongest characters are brought out in this series of Revolutionary adventure. Marion was his hero, and right well has he embalmed for future ages the daring deeds, the crafty movements, the tireless en ergy, and the sleepless vigilance of the tollowers of this mau to whom more than any other South Caro lina owes her free soiland self gov ernment to-day. But standing above all our litera ry men, we see the serene smile and the gentle face of our Poet Priest, Father Ryan. A mau of spotless character, "of manners gentle and affections mild," his poetical genius was fitly accompa nied by a life which the most rigor ous ascetic might envy. The word "Father" is always attached to his name by the Southern people, whose hearts he grappled with hooks of steel. His most admired poem is the "Song of Mystic," but certainly the one containing the sweetest, Joftest, saddest strains is "The Land of Memories" which begins thus: "0 give me a land where the ruins are spread." While our young people are giv ing their time to the masters of other lands, let them not fail to read the writings of these two men, who dedicated theenergers of God given genius to the section we all love and revere.

THE TIMES is a newspaper for intelligent men and women who want to read all the news of the world every day. Thc paper has distill guishing merits of its own. It is neither sen saticnul nor dull. It is not soar-tempered, it is not frivolous or visionary. It secs plenty of good in the world and tells about it. It tells of the bad when it must, but not unwholescmely It prints with fullness the record of human en deavor in many fields outside of business, poli tics, and war-in literature, religiou, science, art, sports, and household matters. No paper in thc country prints so many book reviews ank so much book news. No paper has so complete a financial page-a daily manual for investors and oflicers of financial institutions. Its market rc ports- -wool, cotton, breadstuffs, farm products Sec., are the best in the c< mn tr . The Democracy of The Times is of the old' fashioned sort, as old as Thomas Jefferson; ma jority rule, no bossism, ni machine tyranny, the divorce of politics from private money-mak ing, a sound currency, industrial emancipation, and every-day honesty. To promote the ad vance of thc Democratic Party along these lines it labors with heart and conscience and all its might. THE NEW-YORK WEEKLY TIMES.
