ELIAS MASOX. Resolutions in Memory of Janies Porter. The Westminster Quarterly Conference adopted the following resolutions and ordered them to be furnished the South ern Ckrifitian Advocate and the county papers for publication : Whereas, unusually long and faithful lives teach lessons full of profit: and, whereas, such lives should be held in remembrance; therefore, the Westmin ster Quarterly Conference hereby orders that the following brief record be inserted in our journal : James Porter, an exhorter in our Cir cuit, was bom in what then was known as Pendleton District. S. C., February 20, 1792: was soundly converted and joined the Methodist church in the year i so} ; was made class leader and exhorter a few years later: lived to the end a happy and consistent Christian life; served thc church with fidelity and delight and died in holy triumph near Westminster, S. C., February 10, 1S92, lacking only four days of beir" one hun dred years old. This wonderful life gives strongest emphasis to the possibility and wisdom of early piety. It proves the blessedness, from childhood to extremest age, of a close walk and intimate com munion with God; it demonstrates the truth of God's promises to give long life, way s of pleasantness, honor and heaven to them that serve him. Our departed father in Israel trusted in God and God gave him every good thing for a hundred years and the joys at his right hand for all eternity. We record these things that we and others may be inspired to live and die the death of the righteous, and that our and their "last end may be like bis." J. B. SANDERS J. D. BALLEN*, ER.

[Correspondence KEOWEE COTTKIEE.] The farmers have been very busy repair ing their pasture fences and their gar dens and planting Irish potatoes anet other vegetables. The last year's crop of fruit is about all sold and I notice some of our best fruit growers are prun ing their fruit trees. This will greatly improve the fruit. Nearly i " kinds of fruit grow well in this section and will well repay for pruning and cultivating. Tobacco, Irish potatoes and cabbage also j should be largely planted, as they are all good money crops aad succeed well with proper cultivation. The political pot is beginning to sim mer. Grover Cleveland is spoken of as first choice and Hill next choice, but for some reason we believe Hill will be nom inated. We do not say zeuch, about Governor j Tillman, as we can't say much good. Some think he wants to be Governor again. Surely he wHl not continue to ignore his pledges, but turn and be true to the best interest of the people. The writer and Mr. Clayton L Phillips, on their way to Westminster (one of our favorite towns), were made glad on com ing to Holly Springs school exhibition. It was about half-past one o'clock, the large crowds of people had already eaten dinner and were beginning to pack their baskets. On arrival we were kindly invited by the good people to stop and take dinner. We were led to the table and the ladies opened their baskets, con taining things that were good enough for a king, and apparently enough to feed another crowd as large as was there. The students played a very interesting game of town ball against the visitors. I took part in the play. The school boys beat us. The school trustees and patrons were conducting some official business in the house during the time. Perfect peace and harmony seemed to be the order of the day. The teacher, Mr. W. S. Grahl, called the school together and arranged the classes before the black board so that all could see. He carried them successfully through the four first j rules of arithmetic. They next recited ja long lesson in the dictionary; ?hen j 6ome tables in the arithmetic; then they ; nearly all made very interesting speeches, j I must say they were the boldest little ! folks I ever saw. Kev. B. Vincent was called to the stand. He read the State school law and made some appropriate remarks. The writer was then called on to address the people, but being unpre pared and the hour getting late, he had j but little to say. Of course, all things ! go well when a teacher has his school in ; good control and enjoys the good will of j all his pupils, and patrons' actions speak louder than words, for they paid him off ; in cash and he went his way rejoicing. '. The people aim to get Mr. Grahl to teach for them again. Before he dismissed he ! treated to a bushel of fine apples. A. C. G. j Duo Dots. ' [Correspondence KEOWEE COURIER.] Duo, S.
