In no section of the county has this paper ^ and its editor more warm friends than this, and naturally we take advantage of every occasion to visit them. The annual picnic is always a great occasion, and Pastor J. H. Wilson and the members of his church exert themselves to make it a success. It is one of the most quiet and orderly gatherings we ever attended, and the thoughtfulness for each other's comfort and convenience on an occasion like this is something to be wondered at.

Burnett, of Augusta, Ga. Kiikiiakot, May '2!.? Burnett is known far and wide as "Shorty, the painter." He has worked from New York to San Francisco, from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico; he was "Shorty, the painter," l"> years ago and is "Shorty, the painter," today. He is faithful, obliging and amusing. Some of his narrow escapes may fairly illustrate the life of a painter. While painting on a stage five stories high, the rope broke and down canto Shorty like a ball from a cannon, but he did not hit the hard asphalt that was beneath him, for God was with him, and he lauded in an awning without an injury. Another, while painting a railroau trestle in Illinois he fell 107 feet to the water, the water was deep, and "Shorty" disappeared for a while, and to the surprise of all present a messenger eame running up the stream about a half hour later and reported that "Shorty" had come tothcsurface uninjured. "Shorty" relates mainadventures similar to the above mentioned. "Shorty" is married now and settled down at Ehrhardt, and whenever he relates sueh stories the listeners all join in and sing a little dirge, "That sounds to me just like a lie." "Shorty" is now painting every day, and laying up his hard earned pennies to build a home for his happy little family, and he is always ready to paint and beautify the homes of the people of Bamberg county. Rev. E. M. McKissick returned home Sunday from St. George, where he has been attending the Charleston district conference, and reports a profitable meeting. Dr. J. H. Roberts and J. D.

Mr. Jimmie Reed, that well beloved and good man, went to his home in heaven on Friday night the 17th. When I say he went to heaven, I speak as one that knows him. This I can say: that if any man ever went to heaven he has gone, for often I and him have met in sweet moments of prayer with dear Jesus, and the advice he has*given me in hours of reading and prayer will ever be a shining light that will help to lead me on and upward to heaven, until I too shall go home to dear Jesus, as he haV gone, twul I hope to live so as to meet him there in the~r*vcck by and by.
