Edgefield Advertiser WEDNESDAY, MAY 26,1897. LQGA12 BREVITIES. Waterme lons are blooming. Ah ?adv are the jackalls and vul tures scrambling for Senator Earle's place. Mrs. Robert Covar is spending a few da) s with relatives and friends at Trenton. The souvenir edition of the Gleen wood Journal is worthy of all com mendation. Edwin F. Strother, Esq., will act for Solicitor Thurmond at the Lexington court next week. Queen Victoria bas worn the same style of bonuet-but not the same bon net-for twenty-five years. Dr. Manly Timmons will be absent from his dental parlors for a few days taking a little needed recreation. Less crab grass has made its appear ance in the crops this year than for many years, so old farmers tell as. Misses Sallie Wyman, of Aiken, daughter of Dr. Wyman, is on a visit to the Misses Lake, on Columbia street. The oat crop will not be a magnifi cent one, failing to come up to its early promise. Wheat is something better. Prof. Nichols will be in Edgefield only one week longer, and all those who desire to take his treatment should do so at once. Use whitewash freely on your fences and out-buildings, indeed a little used about your dwelling will be all the better and may save a doctor's bill. Children's Day in the Methodist Church on last Sunday was a great success. We don't mean this as a mere compliment-it is the literal truth. Electrician Geo. F. Mims spent last Sunday at home. He is engaged at present in putting up the t?l?phone line from Augusta to Johnston and Edgefield. Schools and academies that desire to publish programmes or catalogues, or anything in that line, would do well to see the Advertiser Job Office prices and samples. An educated Indian who recently spent half an hour reading the epi taphs in a cemetery, remarked: "I guess the only good white mau is a dead white man." AGENTS WANTED-Male or female, in every county. Business rrspectable. Compensation good. No trouble to make some money. Address CHRONI CLE, Augusta, Ga., for particulars. Farmers generally throughout Edge field county arfe* well up with their crops, unfortunately, however, the crops are not up with them, being two weeks late; especially is t$U9 true of cotton in the clay lands'. Me ~ried, at Edgefield on Thursday, May 20th, at the residence of the bride's mother, by the Kev. J. S. Jor dan, Mr. W. J. Miller, of Callison, to Miss Carrie Sheppard, daughter of the late Dr. W. Scott Sheppard. We would be glad if the "Greenwood "gentlemen" would say something out loud; the pressure is getting heavy. Say something,gentlemen; either thai you will, or that you will not. There is nothing unfair about such a request as ibis. Rev. J. S. Jordan, of Phoenix, Abbe ville county, was in our town on last Thursday and Friday, having officiated at the Milk r-Sheppard marriage. Mr. Jordan is an intellectual and cultured gent.'eman and of scholarly attain ments. The new church building at Moun tain Creek, the Mountain Creek Bap tist Church, will be dedicated on next Sunday, the dedication sermon to be preached by Dr. Gwaltney. A uumber of our River Jordan Baptists will at tend these services. Capt. J. P. DeLaughter, of the Sweetwater Light Dragoons, Ham burg, has oeen elected Colonel of the 2nd Regiment of Cavalry. Col. De Laughter has bad quite a brilliant military career, having risen from or derly sergeant to colonel within a short period. Sweet little Meg came into her Sun day-school class one morning, her eyes filled with tears, and looking up into her teacher's face, said : "Our dog's dead, and I guess the angels were scared when they saw him coming up the path, for he's awfully cross to strangers. Mr. Horde Allen has rented the Fleming house in Buncombe and will remove thither this week with his sis ters and brother-three sisters and one brother. Our people will heartily wel come them. Horde Allen in an exem plary young man in word and deed. Miss Emmie Carpenter, daughter of Mr. John M. and Mrs. Frances Car penter, died in Augusta on Friday last, May 21st, and was buried at Lang ley on the next day. Miss Carpenter was a most estimable young lady only 16 years of age-wnd expressed to her parents in her last moments a willingness to depart and be with ber Savior. -To these bereaved ones we tender our heartfelt sympathy. We will present absolutely free a new 1S97 bicvcle (either ladies' or gents' wheel) in exchange for a favor we wish attended to in Edgefield, also another for attending to same in ad joining townships. No agency or sell ing business. We prefer those ac quainted with many young people now studying music.

Devoe, the New Jersey astrologer, who predicted the floods in the Jower Mississippi, is out with an other forecast. He says that' a great s:ortn belt will hang along fi the Atlantic coast till August 1st, uud that rains in this territory will be continuous and severe. "Open all the ditches and clean the sewers," the prophet adds, "and prepare tor floods from Maiue to Florida. The heaviest rains viii occur the last cf' July. Then the great storm belt will travel westward and hang over the Ohio Valley in August. I expect a sud den rise in the temperature on May 27, and we will have thunder showers, followed by a great fall in the temperature on May 80, Memorial Day. A storm will move over the Gulf Stales and it will produce a storm on the Atlantic Ocean on the 31st, with killing frosts over the New England States." Col. W, H. Folk, Edgrefield's Great Lawyer, Spellbound the Supreme Court of South Carolina. The Columbia State speaking of him -ays: "The Supreme Court has now under consideration a dower case which, when decided, will be of interest to the people and the members of the bar throughout the State. Col. W. H. Folk, a law yer from Edgefield, made in it oue of the finest arguments that has been lizard in that court room for a 'ong time." Card from Mr. L. J. Williams. LONGMIRES, S. C., May 17. Mr. T. J. Adams, Edgefield, S. C. DEAR SIR : I notice in your issue of 12th inst, you say editorially: "Everything seems to be rotten in the State management of the dis pensary from top to bottom, ex cept Governor Ellerbe." As I am a member of the State Board of Control I construe above to be a direct charge that I myself am "rotten," an J I write to ask that you clearly explain your meaning, or specify wherein I have buen "rotten" and furnish the j>roof. I I can stand the X-rays. Though I have been in a minority on the board, I have given my best effort toward hone.-t management, and I can't allow my character blacken ed if I can help it. Yours truly, L. J. WILLIAMS. We are glad that Mr. Williams "can stand the X-rays," and we are glad he is and was "in a mi nority on the board;" it will af ford him much cause for cougratu laticn in the sweet bye and bye. We have no charges to make against the minority, those who kicked.-ED. ADVERTISER. The Interdenominational Sun day-School Convention. The Interdenominational Sun day-school Convention embodies two grand principles of spiritual lifo which ought to commend it to the hearty sympathy and earnest co-operation of every Christian in Edgefield county. The first of these is its interde nominational feature. This is a day when the hosts of the living God are concentrating everywhere, drawing together within support ing distance of each other, as Prov idence seems to be bringing us in s;ght ol' the final conflict be tween good and evil in the world. The day for petty antagonisms, angry controversies and bitter anathemas between followers of the same holy Savior is rapidly passing away; let us hasten its decadence with inspired zeal ; and welcome with increasing joy the advent of a larger peace and good will between the churches. There are many great problems awaiting solution which will tax the united energies and wisdom of all Chris tians to settle right. On these pressing and practical questions we can and ought to come together with great mutual benefit without abating in the least our love for, or devotion to, our several denomina tional tenets or practices. Sun day-school work, temperance re form, Christian education, Y. M. 0. A. enterprise, the better en forcement of law and the duties of Christian citizenship are fields of discussion broad enough to call out the effective co-operation of all Christian bodies with mutual ben fit t) the churches and the general public. In the second place, the import ance of child life in religion, edu cation and politics is just fairly beginning to ba realized among us. We are beginning to fiud out that lo succeed truly with any great en terprise we must begin at the be ginning. Applying this truism to religion, it is of the first import ance to briug up ihe children in the "nurture and admonition of the Lord." Our Lord Jesus made no mistake when be said: "Whoso ever receiveth one such littlechild in my name receiveth me; and whosoever receiveth me receiveth him that sent me." The deepest mysteries aud most bi? ssed expe ri?nc?s of our religion are insep arably connected with the gospel training of even one little child. No enterprise iu which the churches are engaged pay:, a higher per cent, of good result than the Sunday-school work. "There augels do always behold the face of my Father in heaven," whatever else that passage may mean, it certainly seems to de< that there are- sprcial privili special protection, special rew to those who act as teaching guiding angels to these little i exposed to the snares of sin satan. These 'lambs au wolves" need special care, and tenderness of the Father's lov< cures it for them. Brethren sisters in the Suuday-school w fathers and mothers in the chu let us rally anew to this holy cai and may great crowds of earl workers meet, pray, tako coui and devise wise plans, at McB dree, for the furtherance of gospel among the young.

Wren? the Final Victor* "One spring," said a lover of birds, 'there came to a birdhouse in my gar den a pair of great crested flycatchers. I had a dozen birdhouses scattered around. This particular one was about a foot square, with a peaked roof and a chimney at each end, a doorway for the birds to go in and out and a couple of auger holes bored through the back to givo the house light and air. "This birdhouse, the summer before, [ had been occupied by a pair of blue birds, who had left their nest behind them. This nest the great crested fly catchers pulled apart and threw out of the house, every twig and straw. They cleaned the house out completely and then they brought in everything new and built a nest of their own and set tled down comfortably for the summer. "But in a few days a pair of bine birds came along, and they made for this house. It might have teen the same identical pair of bluebirds that oc cupied it tho summer before. I don't know about that, though I have no doubt that robins and other birds that have been south for the winter, hun dreds of miles away, do come back in the spring to the same places and to the same trees. Anyhow this pair of blue birds wanted that birdhouse, tmd they were ready to fight for it, and that is what they did. The flycatcher is a nice little bird and a pretty plucky tort of a j fighter, but not a match for the blue bird. They had a grand round np inside the house, and finally the bluebirds j pitched the flycatchers out, and later they pitched out every stick of furni ture that the flycatchers had brought in, deaned the house out entirely and then brought in fresh material sud built a new nest according to their own ideas, and they settled down for the cummer. "Well a few days after thats pair of wrens came along, and they took a fancy to that particular birdhouse, too, and they sailed right in and tackled the bluebirds on the spot. You couldn't see the fight from the ground, bat every now and then you could see a utraw or a feather shoot out of the front door of the house. The bluebird is a good/ sound fighter, but the wren is ii better one, and the upshot was that th e .wrens fairly put the bluebirds out tind took possession of the birdhouse themselves. And then the wrens did just what thi others had done. They pitched out ev ery scrap of stuff in the birdhouse-just tumbled it out of the door, to fall on the ground-and then they brought in new stuff and built a nest for them selves. "Nobody molested the wrent. They staid there and raised theil' young there, and in the fall they all flew away and left the birdhouse again de serted for the winter. ' '-New York Sun. SUMMON?.
