Truly can it be raid 1 of liitn, hia "walk was close with God." I He was a strong pillar, a bright and shin- t ing light in the Ilaptist Church, where liia r lo?a will lie sensibly fe't. He waa such ? r ci'izen aa no community can lose without a eensihly feeling the loss. He exerted a gen- a t'e, silent influence for good wherever he went, and in this reaped, above all other", Union has suffered a ead loss in the death of Dr. Meador. ? ).. i no plc'tirc of hia patient reaignation under intense suffering upon a bed of siekness and the bright confident hope that cheered him ami left a smile of victory upon his face as hia spirit winged its flight up to the God who gave it, wo will leave for those to portray who witnessed the inspiring scones at his bedside. Such it iiiiiii could not be other than it good, even it moilcl husband ami parent; ami there, in tlint nn:e happy circle, it hit loss truly irreparable; but that (Soil in whose promise* he put his faith, has promised to "be a hu*t>and to the widow and a father i to the fatherless,11 and while we ainrerely sympathise with them in their great sorrow, we prayerfully leave the gentla loving wife* ? and three little children lit Hi* comforting i hands.

Mr. Binl James, who rents a farm from Mr. Charles hi tlepdiu near here, has the prettiest crop 1 have seen this year. He has sis acres in new ground corn which gives promise of a yield of do bushels to the acre, and Id acres in cotton which will make a lisle to the acre. Mr. James did all the plowing for this crop unaided, ami received very little assistance in any way. He is a progressive farmer, and deserves praise. Sr t T/tv Corrrs|?oiHl??nro of the Union TlMK*.

Four hours drive brought us over to tin line of Abbeville, and from the number of creeks and small rivers and rivulets we cross. ed, one would conclude that any country so well watered and tolerably level would * be a fine farming country, with a mixture of brains and olbow grease to insure success for the farmers, other things being cijual. l'nssing through the village of Ninety Six iiner a i-ur Hours urive, we were g nu lo see son. any signs of thrift and enterprise J nlong the line of the G. & C. 11.

The noiso of these combined with the rstile of the mowers, rnkes, reapers and binders, sulky plows &c., makes us feel as though we had been dropped on western soil by a passing cyclone, and we might insist on its being fo if we did not actually know that it is nowhere but Edgefield.
