The latent home to bo wired was that of Mr. W. C. Jack son in north Edgefield. Hon. B. E. Nicholson is contemplating extend ing the line to his handsome resi dence on the hill. It is a short dis tance beyond the corporate limits of the town. Mr. Harling is to be congratulated upon the splendid service which he has given during the past year. We trust that the de inaud will steadily increase until the town will be supplied with a day as well as night current. Celebrated Eightieth Birthday. Among the eveuts we heard of dubing the holidays was the family gathering at Elmwood on Decem ber 30th, this being the 80th birth day of our old and esteemed friend JWr. J. T. Gant. All of the chil dren were present except two who were prevented from attending on aocount of inclement weather. A 8umptsous repast was served and the old folks were the recipients of many tokens of affection, among them being a gold beaded cane to Mr. Ousts. We hope that he may pass the 90th mile post and reach the century mark. Mrs. Dr. W. D. Ouzts visited Mr. and Mrs J. A. Sherin in Sum ter during the holiday?. ,fra. Sher in and Mrs Ouzts aro si. .-rs.

It is reported however that Mr. Rives was not a> deeply interested in fishing with hook and line -is other members ol the parly. Two accidents happened to Dr. Carmichael that considerably marred his pleasure. He let his auit case fall after leaving Colum bia, breaktng?.be "medicine" which he had provided en route.

Jan. 6-St. Blalock-Bailey, The Facto in I Case. Since the transfer of the Blalt family from the Baptist to the Pr byterian church there have bt varions views taken by differ? persona Some bare exercised !< ind christian charity. Some ba ittributed the change to the infj "nee of the Presbyterian minist Some have impugned the moti', of Mr. Blalock and assigned ai cause a want of loyalty on the p? of congregations to which be 1: ministered foi fifteen years. It ciot true of any pr?cher (was n true of Christ nor 1 '.MI') that all th? members are fi^rablf '.. hil So, admiiting the l*?? I?.- in Mr. Blalock is no exctv ?...i to long established rule. Some hv acted as though they had forsak the Christian's God simply becau they repudiate eertain doctrin which they formerly believed. B they hare not ceased to be frier, to the church of their childhoo If a person doe* not acknowled; other denominations as a part the body of Christ, they are n acceptable members in the Presh terian church, for this church h acknowledged in writing that it only a branch of the tree of i ligion. But if my one attempts unchurch us, it is perfectly natur to defend one'* position by assig mg reasons for our position. M Blalock, being an intelligent ma and for the sake of informatio wan a zealous defender of the chun of which he was a member. But tl subject of church government at some of the doctrines of his chun have been topics of serious consi eration for a number of years fact well known by some of his i t?mate friends. And very natural these topics were freely and fran! ly discussed with the Prasbyteria minister, with the hope that b eolleaque might fail to answer bin and thus allow him to become s( tied in bis faith. Ever siace la spring Mr. Blalock intimated me that ho would be obliged make a change if he could get r. more light than he had then. ? that this conclusion is no recer thing with him. And in order I pave the way for such a step I long ago notified his churches I secure another pastor. It cou! not have been a money consideratic for several reasons. First, he recive the smallest salary I ever beat of an educated man receiving. Se ond, be bad no better charge i view when he made the chang Third, he can live comfortabl without the salary. With nothiti before bira he surrenders his relig ous sentiments to follow his coi victions. When he asked me whi he should do, I urged him not t make the change if he could coi scientiously remain, though we wer glad to have accessions. This is n new thing under the sun; for we hav transferred ministers to otb? churches. We receive in the Soutl ern church every year seventee (IT) ministers fiom other denomi nations and I hive, within a fe mouths, examined two Baptist am one Methodist minister. As lon as men think they will differ an act upon their convictions. As t tie other members of the family, .eve itioned the subject o joining our church, I did not inti mate such a thing. All that I di was to comply with a request fron the head *>f the home to mail sonn tracts without comment. But af f^r they joined I did say something in the presence of witnesses. ] told them that "one of the doctrine of the Presbyterian ohurch was tc love all denominations, and thai now they were in a position to com raune with all; that they had noi become antib.tbtist, but paedobap tist." However, have no mo nop )ly on uhr istia iove. W? lovt I others and others love us. I visited the home often, but not to mak* converts, though I do not regret it, because it will prove a spiritual up lift to all the churches, and If I did not know this then I would be glad to retrace ray steps. In conclusion I would say thai brother Blalock does not know J have writteu this statement. I am offering no apology for either ol us, hut an explanation that will bc receded by all who can fepl and think and look. He is well quali lied {?.> take care of himsc and U able to give reasons for j faith that is in bira. We both agreed that wu loved the Baptist as mem bers of our household. He was sor ry to m ikea change, but it would bt1 done with friendship and Christian love to ALL. I am anxious to build up our church, but before I do it dis honestly I will let the planks rot and fall off. But 3*ou can count on our standing our ground. With the best wish? ? for all, and a heart big enough foi all, I pray that we all may journey through life hand in hand, and that when the denomina tional scaffold is torn away the temple not made with hands will shine out in ali its celestial glory, and Christ shall be all and ALL. 1 ?.
