Editor County Record:?
"The day is cold and dark and dreary,
And the snow is falling,never weary"?
so to speak. It takes me back to
the winters of '61 to '65, those
gloomy days on the picket out-posts
of the Army of Northern Virginia,
where General Lee's veterans had^to
face the storms of rain, sleet and
snow, as well as thunder and lightning
in summer.
"Poor Conrad" was there doing
his duty to his country along with
the other ragged ones who made e
wall of their breasts between Grant's
host and the city of Richmond. ]
will not dwell on war history: I want
to say something about matters anc'
times about home and friends whose
love and kindness will be remenv
bered by "Poor Conrad" as long as
his heart's blood is warm.
I had the great pleasure of meet
ing an estimable fady from Sumter
the widow of the late Mr B G Pier
son. She was the- daughter of the
late Mr Samuel Burgess, of Bethe
section. Mr Burgess was an elder ir
Bethel congregation. Mr Pierson'i
father was the Presbyterian minis
ter that preached at Midway anc
Bethel churches. He was pastor ol
Midway for 40 yeais and after the
war when Bethel church was buili
he preached at both churches. Mi
Pierson was a native; of New Jersej

B G, Samuel and James, were veter
an? of Lee's army.
Tne old minister was a true sol
dier and veteran of the cross anc
died the Christian soldier's death, ?
death that will long be remembered
by all who were present at Bethel
church on that day. Mr Samuel Burgess,
the old elder, usually sat or
one of the front seats and on thai
day in particular he was to act 8
hero's part. The congregation noticed
that the old minister was about
to break down; he looked up and
said, "Help!" Mr Burgess leaped
over the seats and rushed up into the
pulpit in time for Mr Pierson to fall
into his arms and die. My friends,
that was a heart-melting scene. Mr
McCoy, the minister of the "Brick
Church" in Sumter county,preached
the funeral sermon some time after,
and when he said the old soldier died
aw if oonuon q cur^ll.

side by side on the highest shining

heaven can see them with then
j crowns of glory on the'r head? and
, badges of honor on their breasts?
Mr Henry McElveen was also ar
elder of Bethel. His Christian wife
was the mother of Mr George Mc
Elveen. She too has gone to the
world unknown by mortals here be
low. My hope is that she will inter
cede for the one to whom she gavt
the name of "Poor Conrad", anc

the great host at the gates of th<

feel that she will say to St Peter
"I see one in that crowd." "Well
' who is it?" "Poor Conrad; St Peter
' can't he come in? He loved am

? Since meeting Mrs Pierson I wa
i pleased to meet the widow of Mr 1
t J R Wilson. She was the daughter o
I i Mrs McElveen by her first husband
? Mr John Epps, and last Sunday ]
was pleased to meet Mrs Mary Ad

father of Mr James Adams of Kings
tree. Thirty-five years have passe<
, since I saw her and I was glad h
see her in good health. Some o

There is mnre Catarrh in this section of the eoun"
try than all other diseases put together, and unti
the last few years was supposed to be incurable
For a great many years doctors pronounced it a
local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be a constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure, manufactured bv F J Cheney & Co. Toledo,
Ohio.is the only constitutional cure on the market.
It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops
to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one
hundred dollars for any case it fails te cure.Send
