Union services were held at the Baptist
Church on last Sunday night. Rev. N. W. |
Edmunds preached, and among other perti- |
nent things, remarked :n speaking upon hon- j
esty and fair dealing, that it was best to buy j
beef from a butcher who represented his beef
just as it was in weight and quality. We in- j
wardly felt "amen." j

that has visited Charlotte in a loni time. i
Huge Potatoes.
Mr. Tbos. S. Drayton caused our head to ;
swim a few days since by presenting us with j
a lot of potatoes surpassing anything of the'
kind that we have seen in years. They were j
but seven in number, and weighed nineteen 1
pounds. Mr. Drayton says he has for sale ;
seventy-five bushels of slips which will pro- ;
duce similar potatoes if properly tilled and ?
fertilized.

Temperance Lecture. ?,
Those who attended the Methodist Church j '
on Wednesday evening last, were entertained !
with a capital address on the subject of intern- : ;
perance^ its cause, and its remedy, by Rev. j .
David Tatum, of Cleveland Ohio. He receiv- j ,
ed the profound attention of the a-idience. and :
succeeded in entertaining it in a way which
would have been impossible for a less fiuent \
speaker to have done in handling so trite a i
subject. His chief attraction consisted in the ! ?
force and novelty of bis illustrations rather <
than originality of thougtht. j ?
Though the fruits of his labor may not be \ (
immediately apparent, yet such ?ruths were
never told to such an audience without lear- j
ing an ineffaceable impression upon its mind ! (
---which however imperceptible is of lasting ,' ,
benefit. ; ,

Set useful, as well sta ornamental Christ- ; u
nias presents, low for cash, from J. D. Craig, u
Mrs. A. A. Gilbert.
We are pained to have to announce the j
death of this most estimable Christian lacy. !
which occurred at her home near Wedgefield .
on Friday last. Mrs. Gilbert occupied a large j
place in the esteem of our entire community, ;
and was loved most by those who knew her ;
best. Connected for many years with the .
Methodist Church, she became a leading spirit .
j in ail good and laudable enterprises, and has |
passed into the beyond with a record worthy j
of coveting. To her husband and children j
.we extend our sincerest condolence. He who ;
follows his wife to the tomb has to wade j
J through earth's deepest and darkest waters.
i Mav thc light shining from the far away hind j
? i
I gild thc gloom of this sorrow, aud lead the;
i bereaved to a state of perfect rest and submis- j
sion to the Divine will.
Thc funeral services were conducted iu the !
i
Methodist Church on Sunday morning at ll ?
o'clock, and were of absorbing interest. Af- j
ter reading the 00th Psalm and a prayer by j
the pastor, Rev. D. J. Simmons, Rev. Mr. j
Herbert arose, and took his text from Micah |
2:10-"Arise ye. and depart ; for this is not j
your rest." .
j The speaker proceeded to portray the life of \ ,
! God!s people as a pilgrimage in which varied ; .
! experiences crowd upon each other-first in ; (
the Slough of Despond and then in Doubting ; {
Castle, of which the ancient dreamer wrote, j
Similarly, said be, may the believer's life be ! .
compared to the journey of Israel through the J (
desert to the Vine-clad hills of the Holy Land, j
where atlast they rested and were at peace. ! ?
So does the pilgrimage of God's people citd j (
at last in peace and rest.
The whole Bible, together with the thousand \ ;
disappointments of life, all uphold the teach- j ,
ing of our text, "Arise ye, and depart ; for i j
this is not your rest/' When the inner heart . ,
I asks :'Is this world the best there is?" God's j
j Word answers, "Arise ye, and depart; fori
this is not your rest." All human experience > ,
i teaches us that this is not our rest. Even life ; j
! at its best-the life of the wealthiest, the hap- '
: piest, the most contented-fails to give satis- |
faction, and the human heart craves something ; .
better-some place to rest. King Solomon j j
after he had found and tried all the good !
things of this world-riches and wealth and j ;
j honor-was yet forced to exclaim, "Vanity i !
of vanities, all is vanity." Nothing that this ; 1
world could give, afforded satisfaction orcon- !
ferred content upon the inner man. One to j
whom we were accustomed to look as to a j i
man occupying the first station of ease, when j
asked about his posessions, replied, "All this j ;
you look upon is but gilded misery." The :
very best man or woman is but like Noah's | ^
dove vainly seeking rest, and asking, j (
"0 where shall rest be found, i i
Rest for the weary soul ?"
It is not to be found here. There isscmetbing i <
better, something sweeter, something higher j
-for usai!. As thereturning spies came and j
told of the clusters hanging upon the vines, i <
so do ? e gather from the teachings of God j ;
that infinitely more iSjwaiting for us at our j 1
Father's House. Death is the messenger that j 1
comes to carry us io what is better further on. | (
Death says to the weary pilgrim: Vou have j ]
toiled, suffered, waited long enough ; come ; S
away to your Father's House. And he mes- j |
seuger is not always unwelcome, though it is ; f
uot natural for us to be anxious to leave our j ?
friends. God has given us tho desire to live : I
and before the messenger calis us away, God ; v
generally gives us a willingness to go. He i e
lifts the veil, and lets the pilgrim look ic upon j 1
the glories to come, and thus makes him wil- j
ling to go.
Thc deceased was tbout fifty years of age. ! c
She gave her heart to God io youth, and was i
for many years a member of this Church, j *
being engaged as a Sunday School teacher. ;.
and was always a ready worker in everything : j
calculated to do good or to aid in building up j ^
her Church. lier patience, tenderness, large- 1
hearted generosity were crowning traits of ; "
character. She was a mother in every sense j
of the word, and faithfully met all the de-'
mands made upon her. O who can know thc ' t
depth of thc riches of her motherly heart ? ! C
How unselfish she was, how forgetful of -If. P
how patiently-she walked with God while not :
exempt from great trials! and all this wiih ' ^
no ostentation or attempt at show. Many cf i \t
you can testify to this. Her end was peace- i ii
fuk She rests to-day on high with God. j jj
Our text has doubtless often been her support, i ^
if she could speak to-day. she would say to us t
all, "Ariseye, and depart; for this is not j o
your rest." : 0
The first speaker was followed by the Rev. ! ?
Mr. Simmons, who said: God's Word tells us \ v
"the memory of the just is blessed," and that I 5'
"a good name is better than great riches." j *'
We have been acquainted with persons of I jj
whom we never thought except with a sense \ tl
of horror. The only joy new c^flfngfrom the w
recollection of them is that we are beyond their | ~
power and influence forever. But this is not j {,
our feeling concerning our silier. How grate- j a
ful we should be for the wonderful facultv of i t]
memory-which enables us to recall facts which \ *
minister to our comfort. The most pleasant j u"
thoughts I have at times are my recollections ! 1;
of a sainted mother. I go back again to boy- ! f
hood's days, and mother calls sister and mvself : ^
into her room and talks and prays with us, I n
and points us to the life above. And I think '? s<
of our departed sister pleasantly just as 1 do ' "
of my mother. No one could know her with- ? f^1
out forming a high estimate of her. In her * w
was no guile, no bitterness, but onlv traits :; cl
belonging to Christian character and display- j
ing thc power of grace. Her nature was un- | 5
selfish. This community will endorse all j w
that has been said of her. Her life, rectified j aI
by the rule of God's word and beautified bv i 0:
* t6
His gra-e, is ended ; and I agree with the poet ; cj
Southey, that \ \L
i 1
"They err who say that love can die." i
She loves you. husband, and yon, childre , i al
just as she did when she was with you. Think ; !"
[/fit that way. Death cannot separate those : ^
who love. We love them yet, and will love ; 0j
them ever. And the Christians hopeopensup '? g<
to us a world of unspeakable h tppiness to 'l
which wearegoiug where love will still be per- ?
petual. Thank God for Christianity ! Thank .\
God for thc comfort it holds out to us in a case si.
ike this. You and 1 are stiil here on thc t('
jaulefield; but a voice reaches us. savin" V

Fhere is rest ahead under the tree of life. We ' n<

lister Gilbert bas gained, and that "not a'

1er peaceful breast." What a thought heav- .

The Lancaster Review of Nov. 30th sar? :
Aboni three weeks ago Brisco Consar found
a little idiotic negro hoy in the woods near
his house who could give, no intelligent ac?
count of whence he came or whither he w:is
bonna. He says his name is Kd. F arman,
son of Peter Furman, who runs 0*1 the ^Wil?
mington rond,'' and has a sisier in S7v:S|er
named Adel ia. Tins is about all that can bf
dragged ont of him, although ho is fluent
fourteen years ofagc; He say? he was riding
on the Wilminctcn train, L'oing io soe his
father, and having r.o money, he wa? i-nt off.
He does not know how he got in these paris.
He is evidently from near Sntr.u-r. I: would
be a charity if the Sumter papers would circu?
late this and let the parent? of the child send
for him for he is an object of pity. He has
had six or eight spasms since Brisco found
him._

OBITUARY.
Died, at his residence, "Mayfield Planta- !
lon," Sumter, S. C.. November 4th, ISSI, j
:OL. ROBERT LAROCHE HERIOT, of apo- \
lexy, in the seventy-first year of his age.
Although known throughout the County in ;
/hich he "died, we venture to say, that the .;
abject of the above notice, was really known :
? buta few. It was necessary to be thrown :
nto very close relations with the deceased, to !
Iscover most amiable traits of character j
nown only to the inmates of his own house- \
old. and especial friends. His sensitiveness j
0 the pains of others if he was the occasion ; ;
f them, or whether brought about by their I I
wn act. approached the tenderness of the i
lost tender of women. Coupled with this ?
elicate sensibility, as to the woes of others, he ;
;as endowed with admirable practical good j .J
.-usc, that enabled him to suggest and to ap- ; '
ly those gentle cmolients that soften down !
ire asperities of life. It was well said, by a
fe-long associate of his, when gazing upou
?mt beloved face, then cold as marble, "It
?as impossible for him to do an unkind act.'*
In his immediate neighborhood, the late
'ol. HERIOT was highly esteemed because of
is rare good sense, so much so, that he was
constant referee whenever delicate and in
.ica'.e questions occasioned doubt, and the
.riler has been frequently surprised by the
Vpidity and solidity of conclusions formed
pon a surprise. Within his immediate tami- ! 1
; he exhibited a touching amiability of dis- '
osition-it was not possible, for any member
f his little household, by any course of con
uct, to esirauge his affections. If, in cora?
lon with frail mortality, he may have made
>:ne enemies i ti the course of a lougacd nut j
oeventfui life, and if he should ever have ? \
joken in tones of bitterness, we venture to ! q
[firm, that whenever the least disposition | c
as, or may have been shown to "bridge the i I'
"..ism,'' he, whom we now mourn, would ; V
ave pressed eagerly forward, to forever close
ie.yawning spaces between him ?ind them,
pru og from an illustrious ancestry, some of
hom ?til! bear themselves in princely style
1 Georgetown, S. C.. Col. R. L. Heriot, "at
nc time aid, to that flower of knightly conr
!$y; Kx-Gov Manning, did flourish amid the
ii va Irv and elegance of Stateburg, S. C., a
.cality, still celebrated for its high-born
:dies and gallant gentlemen. There it was,
.at the most casual observer could detect
Jout the beari g of our departed friend, es
?cially when extending a generous hospitali
-, something of the courtly grace of the
den limes; some reflections of the associates
" his early manhood : something cf his own
r-ntle descent. But it is of the gentle, loving
jart, whose throb has ce.rsed furevt-r, in
