Lee was observed by appropriate exercises that were held Saturday afternoon in the Baptist church un der the auspices of the Daughters of tue Confederacy. At the request of the chapter Capt N. G. Evans acted as master of ceremonies. Af ter prayer by Rev. P. P. Blalock, Mrs, Mamie N. Tillman rendered au inspiring selection, entitled a "Medley of Southern Airs," on the pipe organ. Capt. Evans then pre sented Col. U. R. Brooks, the orator of the occasion. Being in Edgefield, the place of his 6birth, and among friends of his boyhood and early manhood, very naturally caused Uol. Brooks to become reminiscent. On this account the early part of his remark- were devoted to relat ing incidents of the war that were connected with Edgefield and Edge field men. After referring to the horrors of the days of reconstruc tion and the tyrany of carpet-bag domination. Col. Brooks stated that there were three men who car ritd the day for white supremacy in South Carolina, Gen. Wade Hampton, Gen. M. C. Butler and Gen. Mart. W. Gary, the two last named being Edgefield men. He al so spoke of the distinguished ser vice rendered by Hon. John C. Sbepoard as a member of the Wal lace House. The weaving of much local history into his remarks, to gether with his easy, conversation al style, made Col. Brooks' address particularly interesting and effect ive. Col. Brooks read i carefully pre pared eulogy and comprehensive biography of Gen. Lee which should be placed before the boys and girls of the rising generation in order that they may form an ac curate estimate of his true worth as a Christian gentleman as well as a military genius. For more than an hour Col. Brooks held the closest possible attention of the appreciative audi ence, and when the meeting ad journed many ladies and gentlemen gathered about him and heartily thanked him for the splendid ad dress. The closing musical number was a quartette entitled, 'Tenting on the old campground." This'too was well rendered. The closing prayer was offered by Dr. M. D. Jeffries. A collection was taken from the benefit of the Arlington monument fund. Flat Rock School Letter. I ask space for this my first let ter. Wonder how many of our school boys and girls like to read? I think it is very helpful. Reading gives us a knowledge of the outer world and helps to broaden our minds. We should remember that "knowledge is power." We should all perform our work cheerfully. If we would go at our work with a smile instead of with a frown it would make our tasks much easier. It certainly requires a brave spirit to smile and press forward when disappointments come. Let us re member at all times that there is so much to be thankful tor. Let us leave the doubt and gloom behind us and try to be happy all the time. Mr. Editor, we had a grand time down here Christmas. We had a pound party here at our home which was greatly enjoyed by all present. Rev. P. II. Bussey and his sweet wife were present. The boys present hemmed the aprons of the girls, the one doing the pret tiest sewing being awarded a large cake as a prize by Mrs. Mattie Ken rick. We had much fun cutting for the ring and the button. The ring fell to my lot. L. B. Missionary Conference at Tren ton [Communicated.] On the last day of January, that is. a week from Friday, there will be hpld a missionary conference in the Episcopal church at Trenton, that promises to be of special in terest especially to the ladies, of all the churches. Strictly speaking it will be a meet ing of the Columbia Convocation of the Woman's Auxiliary to the Gen eral Board of Missions. This so ciety is one of the strongest mis sionary organizations in the world, national in organization, world wide in scope. The state or dio cesan officers in South Carolina and the convocation officers also are very devout and zealous women, well known over the whole stite. And it will be a treat to the ladies of all the local missionary socie ties, to meet with them, and to hear the papers read, and to enter into the discussions that follow. The session will begin at 10 o'clock in the morning with the Holy Communion, fullowed by the address of welcome by Miss Virgi nia Singleton. After the delegates read their reports Mrs. Alex Has kell, of North Augusta will read a paper. Luncheon will be served at 12.30 at the residence of one of the mem bers near by, a sort o? basket din ner in fact, as is customary on such occasions. After that the after noon session from 2 to 5 will con sist of papers by Mrs. Porcher, and Mrs. Heyward, and one other, to be supplied, with general discussion following each paper. Trenton's good church ladies always ready to do for and give to others will cer tainly have the opportunity of re ceiving, on this occasion, that in spiration and that missionary spirit that always characterize the meet ings of the Woman's Auxiliary. Remember the date, Friday, Jan uary 31st. Our Lawmakers.

Must Scheme Like Yankees. We can never catch up with the Yankee farmers making money un til we begin saving time, labor, and expense as they do. They are all the time inventing some new labor saving tool or piece of machinery, or buying some such thing the other fellow has invented. We must do likewise if we wish to pros per as they do. Two, three, and four-horse plows, stump-pullers, manure spreaders, the best planters and harrows and riding cultivators, wheat harvesters, and corn binders -these are the things that make the Western farmer rich, because they enable him to run his brain with two, three, five or ten-horse power instead of one-horse power. - Progressive Farmer.
