Its Beautiful Surroundings and What Its People are Doing. The deep green of midsummer is resting over the beautiful landscape-fair Nature gilding with lavish hand the towering forests, the fields bright with their promise of harvests golden, the streams as they roll onward with their rippling music, and the sweet, soft meadows. Surely Silver never looked fairer than on this lovely morning-emblematic of a peaceful life. Over the sky's burnished blue, light, fieecy clouds float gently-softening and throwing an indescribable grace over Na ture's lovely ensemble. Our hearts are mute in silent adoration of the Mighty Hand which makes our earth so rich in beauty. We drink in the life-giving elixir of hope ; we revel in the intoxication of joy. Many thoughts play hide and seek in the dreamy vistas ever opening up before us. For thee, Dear Old Times. do we at tempt to paint the unseen, yet marvelous, changes, which are silently yet surely go. ing on from day to day. Just as surely as we watch the ripening of the fields in their development of a future yield, we see development in those around us-a grander, more sublime har vest than pen can picture. There are hearts in whose depths each soft, bright day becomes an epoch in the great march of destiny. Where discord once reigned sweetest harmony now pre vails, and all are united in a common aim to rise to u higher plane of spirituality. The question naturally arises, "Whence this gracious moral change, and to what cause is it due !" Look around on our people, working to gether in their prayer meetings, Sunday schools and other lofty efforts. Silver is on the upward march. and we hope ere long to see the day when all these efforts shall culminate in a blissful harvest of "Peace on Earth and Good Will Toward All There are those in our midst whose sweet mission is their capacity of faith and en durance. Woman can not enter the arena of public life, but in her passive humanity she becomes powerft-achievin grander victories than any portrayed in the annals of what the world terms glory. in this strife to rise higher, to soar above the petty jealousies and animosities of a corroding, contracted sphere we can see her work. There are those in our midst who are just awakening to the great aim and beauty of life-that grand and solemn gift to humanity. Let us hope that their example will lead others onward and upward, and it is the voicing of that sentiment which inspires this letter from HERMIE. Silver, S. C., July 19. 1895. IS YOUR BABY PRETTY?

He utterances were conserv ative, and he wound up with a beautiful and appropriate illustration of the feeling existing among the white men of the State and what was being done to relegate that feeling to the rear. The speech was sc effective that we believe many Conserva tives, although none of their faction are candidates, will turn out and vote in the primary. Most of those in Manning will, at least.

The bereaved husband .iith his three little orphan girls went over from Dillon Qn the train to the funeral of the departed wife and mother. Mrs. Graham was sick when she moved to Dillon nearly two years ago. bhe was never able to be up but very little from then until the time of her death. She was afflicted with consumption. Quite a number of friends and relatives assembled at Zion church to pay their last respects to the departed Mrs. Graham. It was a scene calculate~d to exite the deepest sympathy for the sorrowing husband and motherless little children. In all the congregation of sorroying friends there was no one whose affection for the bereft husband and children was more deeply stirred than of Miss Frances Camp bell of Cotton Valley. The many little attentions of kindness to the orphan children were not wholly un heeded by the observant father, and he be came convinced that Miss Campbell would make a good stepmother. After the service was over he at once sought and obtained the consent of Miss Campbell to become his second wife. Without further delay, at 4 o'clock sharp, just four hours after the funeral of his first wife, he led the blushing bride to the ymeneal altar, wheic the twain were made oe, and the 6 o'clock train brought the happy couple to Dillon, where they will make their future home.
