In this same room was ; tank of kerosene oil. A sturt while af ter the boy went to milk, Mr. Bussej *1 o bad not yet arisen, heard an ex plosion, but supposing that some on irj.tiuLiu?ighborhood had .ired a gui or pistol, paid no attention to it. 1 ?it le later he smelled kerosene bum ing, and rushing, down to the stov room found it partially enveloped ii ?la nes. which be could have extin gu shel even at that time but for th proximity and propinquity of th kerosene tank; and in not making ai effort to put out the fire Mr. Busse, acted wisely, for a moment after, giv ing him barely time to escape, the tani exploded, and the house was sooi thereafter in ruins.

Last Friday was au occasion ci unusual excitement, interest, and plea-ure to the different Sunday schools of our town, the appoint ed day for the Aiken Sunday schools to make Edg?field their picnic ground. Every body wants to know who were the guests aud who the host on that opcasiou? Who can tell us if it were Edge? field or Aiken? The whole town wag astir bright and early, and the children asgerabjet} eagerly at Ihe Methodist church, w h e n .c e they marched to the depot to see the arrival of tho Cumberland Gap train which has seldom be foro in its history brought to its destination such a crowd,. The Academy Grove was the selected, spot, wbero tables and seats were arranged, and a stand for the speakers. The collapse of one tjer of seats, as the crowd reacts ed the stand, did away with any embarrassment of silence which might otherwise have been the or der of tbe,day, and put every body in a good humor. Rev. Mr. Gordon of t}ie episco pal church ielivered the welcome address, replied to by Rev. E. E. Bomar of Aikei^ Remarks were also made by Dr. ly. R. Gwaltijey.

EDITOR: Please albw me space in your columns to say some thing with reference to the times around Bold Spring neighborhood. I believe the farmers are about through planting. They can't grumble about not having a good stand of cotton ; for I heard a man say the other day '"he had seventy five acres plauted, and thought there was enough seed come up to have planted one thousand acres." The shower we had last week is passing, and think we need a good season now. Notwithstanding the sunshine and dry weather "gener al green is making a fair run." Plo says," through the morning dews, make r<*ady j*ou laborers for a combat, if you aie jiot courage ous I hope to be victorious and en joy the spoil." .The writer in company with eight, others fook a trip to Augus ta Dot more than a fortnight ago, went down m an excursion from Bradley's. We bad quite a pleas ant time going, but you know Mr. Editor, that it is quite hard for eome to resist the social glass when they get where it is, so some of the company could not reeist and took lo a:i excess. I tell you Mr. Editor it makes me shudder for the drunkard. What shall we do to redeem them? It ?seems that a godly life, and all efforts put forth are of no" benefit to them. Shall we cease praying for them? No I want them to know that they have a friend thatcareth for them whether they care for themselves or not. So we still will remember the associates and old school mates in our prayers and trust that we may have the pleasure of welcom ing them into the army of the Lord before it is tor>late. There will be children's day at Bethel (the Methodist ) church on Sunday before the fourth Sunday in this mouth. The programme for the day is being studied by the children.
