This makes four candidates for that office of trusr and profit. ~> Red Bank, the coot/-, eat of Saluda county, is at present a body of woods, but will soon be made to blossom like the rose. In future it will be knowu not as Red Bank, but as Saluda Court flmwr Be sure to register, and when you get yo jr registration ticket paste your last tax receipt on the back, bard and strong, for you must exhibit both in order to vote. The "report of crops all over the county is very encouraging. The re cent rains have brought out the oats and wheat and brought up the cotton and belated corn. The foundation of the Edgefield fac tory is almost complete, the wall show ingabove the surface of the ground, and with this the work of brick laying will be half done, there being so many windows in a cotton factory. Our village Baptist church has sent during the past three months to the various mission boards, $87.35, divided as follows: Foreign Missions, $o0.00; Home Missions, $25,00, and to the min isterial students at Furman Universi ty, $12.35.

L. W. YoumaiiS has over six hundred acres of cotton hoed and plowed over, besides a three hundred acre "path" not yet up. But he also makes oceans of corn, peas, hay and potatoes for all farm purposes and ba con ample for family use.-Barnwell People. Mr. W.N. Burnett spent a day in Greenwood last week. Mr. Burnett says Greenwood is a growing bustling city, but Edgefield is also on the move upward. He thinks the Greenwood cotton factory did more for that city than any other one thing to build it up to its present fair proportions. Hon. J. Wm. Thurmond, of Edge field, is announced as candidate for Solicitor of the fifth judicial district. Mr Thurmond is a self-made man of marked ability.- His valiant services for the Reform faction have given him a wide reputation, especially in the Samuel Lord bond case. If elected, be will discharge the duties of his po sition with credit, ability, and impar tiality.-Orangeburg Patriot. In the article of last week signed ''Van Star" several typographical er rors occurred. The one ?pecially griev ous was this : "Medical men are past coming to Lhe ' .inclusion that alcohol is useless as a medicine; the word past should have been rendered fast.

April showers are a blessing to the hone3t yeomanry, because they insure well-filled granaries with the good things of the soil, but these are small compared with the blessings that Ramsey & Bland will bestow upon their thousands of patrons who will avail themselves of the low prices they are offering on Wagons, Buggies, Har ness, Furniture, Coffins and Caskets.

Folks burglar alarm baa given us the follow ing particulars of the arrangement and uses of same : ''If at any time during the night, a person should enter any of the ti ve buildings, which are connected with the central station, either by door or window, an alarm is sounded and the No. of the building entered will be re corded by an instrument provided for that purpose. The duty.of another instrument is to keep the bell ringing even if the wires should be cut. The central station board is also fitted with a switch by which the system can be put on at night and cut oil during the day allowing free use of the buildings without annoyance. All of the four instruments are finished off in best manner in polished oak mounted on beard to match. The system has been thoroughly tested in every way and has proven entirely satisfactoy. The central statin is of course placed in a convenient local ion in the dwelling." Death of Dr. Strother. We clip thc following account nf the death of Dr. W. A.

A School Girls Essay, But s :> Good That we Depart From Custom, and Publish lt. What a hallowed name! How full of. enchantment and how dear bo the heart! Home is the magic circle within which the weary spirit finds refuge; it is the sacred asylum to which tho care-worn heart retreats to rind rest from the toils and inquietudes of life. Ank rhe wanderer as he plods his tedi ous way, bent with the weight of age, and white with the frost of years, ask him what is home? He will tell you "it is a green spot in memory; an oasis in the desert; a center about which the foudest recollections of his grief-oppressed heart cling with all the tenacity of youth's first-love. It was once a glorious, a happy reality, but now it rests only as an image of the mind." Home! That name touches every fiber of the soul, strikes every chord of the human heart with its angelic fingers. No'bing but death can break its spell. What tender associations are linked with home! What pleasing images and deep emotions it awak ens! It calls up the fondest mem ories of .ifeand opens in our na ture the purest, deepest, richfst gush of consecrated thought and feeling. Next to religion, the deep est sentiment in the human soul is that of home affections. Every heart vibrates to this theme. Home has an influence which is stronger than death. It is law to our hearts, and binds us with a spell which neither time nor change can break. Ask the little child what is home? You will find that to him it is the world-he knows no other. The fathei's love, the mothers smile, the sister,s em brace, the brother's welcome, throw about bis home a heaveuly halo, and make it as attraocive to him as the home of the angele. Home is the place where the child pours out oil its complaints, and it is the grive of ail its morrows. Child hood has its sorrows and its gr.'e . e ances, but hon.e is the place where these are eoothedand banished by the sweet lullaby of a fond moth er's voice. Ther? child-hood nes tles like a bird which has built i t F abode among the roses. There the cares and the coldness of earth arj, as long as possible, averted. Flowers there bloom, or fruits in vite on every side, and there para dise would indeed be restored, could mortal power ward off the consequences of sin ! Home of my childhood! What words fall upon the ear with so much music in their cadence as those which recall the sceues of innocent and happy childhood, now numbered with the memories of tho past I How fond recollec tions delight upon the- events which murked our pathway, when the unbroken h -me-circle present ed a scene of lovelinc?s vainly sought '?ut in the bos >in of a hap py family 1 Iuterv.eniug years have not dimmed the vivid coloring with which r.aemory has adorned those joyous hours of youthful in nocence. We aro ajrain borne on the wings of imagination to the place njade sacred by the remembrance of a father's eire, a mother's Jove, and the cherif heel associations of brothers and sisters. The affec tions of homes art- graceful things, especially .am mg the poor. The ties which link the poor man to his humble hcarth"are of the true metal and bear the stamp of heaven. Thei-e affections consti tute the poetry of human life, ard so far as our present existence is; concerned with ail the domestic! relations,are worth more than al) other social ties. They give the first throb io the heart and unseal the deep fountains of its love. It J is only domestic love that can render the heart truly happy. At j home the mind is at rest. We may: find joy elsewhere, buc it is notj the joy-the satisfaction of home, j Of the world the heart may soon tire, of the nome never. In the former there is much of cold for mality, much heartlessness under] the garb of friendship, but in the? latter it is all heart-all friend ship of the purest, truest charac ter. Home and home friends! How dear they are to us all! Well might we love to linger on the pic tures of borne friends! There is nothing cn earth so beautiful as the household on which christian love forever smiles, aud where re ligion walks s. counsellor and friend. Is it not true, that much of a man's energy and success, as well as happiness, depends upon the character of the h "?me. Se cure then-, he ?oes forth bravely] to encounter the trials of life. It encourages him to think of his| pleasant home. It is his point of rest. When all other friends prove false, home friends, rt moved from? every bias but love, are the stead fast and sure stays of our peace and soul,-are best and dearest when the hou . is darkest and the danger of evil the greatest. Home is nothing but a name wi'houlj bonni friends. Herc indeed ar? repeated from day to dav, the miracles of providence and the j wonders of nature. There aro two grand, simple.} qua?tii H, all powerful in heaven and o.i earth, love and order. A pleasant word on the part of the wife, when the husband conies home, often dispels 'he trouble from bis mind, and draws out a de sire to le both agree able and res pectful, which characteristics ure always accompanied by affection. And vvheie swee' temper gives way to anger and discord, the home circle it. no longer attractive, and is almost certain to be shunned. Nothing makes the home so happy as thc perpetual sunshine cf a'con tented disposition there. The habit of always looking on the suny ?ide obliges people to see the silver lining of the cloud in spite of themselves. It is not so much wealth nor Teaming, as tone and temper, that makes life joyous or miserable,, that rendem hom?s happy or wretched. The want of love is not supplied by anything. The sweetest type of heaven is? home. It is an inspiring hope Ihitt, when we separate here on: Barth at the summons of death's angel, and when a few more years have rolled over the heads of those remaining, if "faithful unto death," we shall meet again in heaven, our eternal home, there to dwell in the presence of our heavenly Father, and no more out forever.
