Miss Victoria M. Bivins died on 19th
July last, aged 10 years and 10 months;
and Miss Mary Ward Bivins, died on
the 7th of August.
Djtring the Spring of 1804, there was a
gracious revival in the Methodist Church
in Americus. Mary Ward and Victoria
Bivins were among the first penitents at the
altar, and they were likewise among the first
to obtain religion. Happy in their own
conversion, they were ever ready, during the
progress of the revival, to cheer the mourn
er, or rejoice with the new convert. From
that time until God called them to the
Church on high, they were uniform and
consistent Christians. They loved the house
of God —they loved the Sabbath-school,
and none were more regular and consistent
in their attendance than they; while in
their daily walk they gave evidence that
they loved the Saviour too. Never morose
or gloomy, their presence at home or among
their friends abroad, was always like a burst
of sunshine. Yet true to their Christian*
profession, they steadfastly refused to join
in the frivolous amusements of the day, or
engage in anything that the. Church con
demned as even of doubtful propriety. At
the close of the Spring term of their school,
Victoria, the younger sister went to pay a
visit to some friends in another county.
Upon returning home she complained of
being unwell; but it was hoped she would
soon recover. Instead, however, she trrew
worse, and in less than two weeks she died,
peacefully and calmly, with no fears and no
regrets.
Mary Ward was taken sick soon after
the burial of her sister, and in a little more
than two weeks, followed her to the grave.
Upon her death bed she gave abundant
evidence that she still loved her Saviour
and that he had not forsaken her. She still
desired to live, she said, but to be useful
and to glorify God. They sweetly sleep in
peace; and ns we stand around their graves
and strew them with the flowers of affection,
it is sweet to remember their Christian
loveliness, and to reflect that they have
escaped the darkness of worldly sorrow;
the clouds that day by day would have roll
ed over their young spirits ; the crosses and
trials of life ; the gloom that follows that
golden age when the light ol youth begins
to fail and fade—they have missed all these,
and in that “ Fetter Country ’’ where their
Father and our Father smiles upon them,
their innocent spirits are forever at rest.

Brother Aaron Cannon was born .July
9th, 1815, and died in Spartanburg Dist.,
S. C., July 24th, 1866.
Alas for us ! One of the strong pillars
of the Columbus Circuit has fallen. Tn the
Conference he was able in council, charita
ble in his views, and liberal in contributions.
In bis family, “lie governed well,” never
spake in an angry tone or used harsh
words, but was kind and gentle—ruling by
the strong power of love, and teaching by
the force of example. Asa neighbor, he
was kind and obliging, feeding the hungry
and clothing the naked. Well may they
weep, for they too will miss him. Ilis last
illness was long and severe, in which he
suffered excruciating pain. But he bore it
with manly fortitude and Christian patience.
He died as he had lived—“in peace.” A
few days before his change, he was asked
the state of his feelings. He said, “ I have
felt for many years, that I was a converted
man and have Ao reason to doubt, it.” Upon
being led to speak more pointedly, said he,
“ a few days ago I thought I was near death.
But I felt a blessed calmness —a peace with
in—and that all was well.” Still later he
was asked by his wife if the Lord was with
him. lie answered, “ Oh, yes—yes.’’ lie
passed away without a murmur or struggle,
doubtless realizing death disarmed of its
sting and the grave robbed of its victory.
Many of the preachers remember bis house J
as a home for the itinerant. Let them,
while they drop the silent tear, pray the
blessing of God upon the bereaved family.
J. A. Wood.
Width am Wrioiit, was born in
Georgia, on 17th October, 1707, and died
near Greenville. Butler Cos , Ala., July 2Jd,
18CC.
He was blessed with parents who incul
cated religious truth upon the mind and
heart of their son. Their labor was not in
vain. These truths, the pious walk and
godly example of his parents made, a deep
impression upon his mind, and exerted a
hallowed influence over his future conduct.
While young his life was an exemplification
of that truth: “Train up a child in the
way he should go, and when he is old he
will not depart from it.” He was never
known to use a profane word, but was re
garded as a model of morality. Notwith
standing he was a strict moralist, he saw
and felt the necessity of a change of heart,
and in 1828, he sought and obtained relic
ion, and joined the M. E. Church In 18.il
he moved to Butler County, Ala , where by
assiduous attention to business, frugality
and perseverance, be accumulated a hand
some competency, lie was attacked by
paralysis some twenty-five years ago, from
which he never recovered. Curing the last
eight years of his life he was a great suffer
er, but he bore his severe affliction with res
ignation and fortitude. When the Yankee
army passed through the county and robbed
him of his property, and everything upon
which to subsist, it seeuied to give him a
great deal of trouble for the time being, but
he soon recovered from the shock, and de
voted his time entirely and exclusively to
the great work of preparing for eternity. —
lie saw that there was nothing permanent
hut religion, and nothing sure but heaven.
SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE
I had several conversations with him on his
prospects for a blissful immortality. lie
conversed freely, and said he knew be could
not survive much longer, and it was his
great and only concern, to prepare for the
exchange of worlds. On the 23d of July,
death released him of his afflictions. The
“dust returned to the earth as it was, and
the spirit returned unto God who gave it.”
J. W. Glenn.
Charles M. aud Robert West, sods
of Bro. and Sister E. M. West, of Tallahas
see, Fla., young men of much promise, the
pride and hope of their parents, have been
removed from this to another and we trust,
a brighter hemisphere. IV hen called by the
voice of t’neir native South to the defence
of her sacred rights, these noble boys went
forth willing champions in a glorious cause,
and among the myriads who battled on en
sanguined fields, none perhaps made truer
soldiers than they. Long they bore “the
burden and heat” of the day, but eventual
ly worn down by disease, they turned from
the scene of conflict to the retirement of
home, and in a few months of each other,
closed their earthly pilgrimage. Conscious
of his near approach to “the valley of the
shadow of death,’’ Charles devoted the clos
ing weeks of his life to spiritual prepara
tion, and ere the messenger eame, had re
ceived the assurance of sins forgiven aud
peace with God. Without a struggle he
passed from earth, so gently as to impress all,
that “Jesus can make a dying bed, l'eel soft
us downy pillows are.”
Robert, too, had sought and found the
pearl of great price, and in readiness awaited
the Master’s call. The writer will long re
member the ecstaey of his “first love,” the
sustaining power of his heaven-born hope,
and the child-like confidence with which
he resigned himself to the will of his Heav
enly Father. He died without a doubt to
disturb the tranquillity of his mind, or a
cloud to dim the brightness of his future
God comfort the. sorrowing, and reunite
these severed ties in the beautiful land of
the happy Hereafter. A. J. W,
Mrs. Keturaii Pringle, died at the
residence of her son-in-law Dr. J. R. Camp
bell, in Rarnesville, Ga., August*lf>, 1806.
She was born in Halifax co., Va., Septem
ber 25th, 1793, and about the year 1800
emigrated with her parents to Clark co ,
Ga.
Here she was married to Coleman S.
Pringle, Jany. 3, 1822. She resided in
Monroe co., also, and last near Barnesville,
Pike co., where her husband died
April 10,1850. She remained a widow until
her decease, during which time she eon
ducted herself well, and by industry and
good management under Providence, reared
her children well and placed them in hon
orable position in society. One is a useful
minister of the gospel. She professed re
ligion sometime after her marriage and join
ed the M. E. Church, of which she was a
faithful and acceptable member until her
death. Amidst affliction for six months,
she never murmured or complained. She
was resigned aud at times happy, and at a
time when the children were all present,
and some to leave soon, prayer was offered
at her request She was perfectly happy
and expressed her willingness to depart.—
Her daughter writes—“when the brittle
thread of life was well nigh severed and her
children, with heartfelt grief, were gathered
around her dying bed, she said,” “don't
weep for me; I want to go; I crave to go,”
feeling that her house was set in order.—
Thus died this w< rthy mother to live
through the merits of Christ, where the sick
are well and the old are young. May her
children imitate her pious examples and
meet her in heaven.
P. N. Maddux.
The Rev. Henry C. Hurlong died in
Edgefield I)ist., S. C , May 20th, 1800, af
ter a protracted and painful illness, in his
05th year.
I am unable to give the date of his con
version and reception into the Church. He
was licensed to preach in 1832, ordained
deacon in Charleston, S C , 1830, ordained
elder at Cokesbury, S. C., 1843. lie was
a pious man, and a zealous and useful min
ister. During thirty five years of his life
be labored to the full extent of bis ability
as a local preacher of the M. E. Church,
South. Many of the Conference can recall
pleasant hours spent with him at meetings
and at his hospitable home. Many will
rise up in the great day and call him bless
ed. In bis death the Church has lost one
of her most worthy members and faithful
servants; his wife has lost the best of hus
bands; the children, a father indeed; the
State one of her best citizens; and the poor
a warm aud long tried friend. Yet their
great loss is bis eternal gain.
“Ilis end was peace;” “He being dead,
yet speaketh.’’
The following resolutions were adopted at
the 3rd session of the Quarterly Conference,
Rutler Ct., S. C. Conference, in which the
Edgefield Ct.united :
“Resolve l Ist. That this Conference has
lost one of its most valuable members in the
death of Rev. Henry C. Ilurlong, who has
died since our last session.
“Resolved 2nd. That in his death the
Church has lost a member long honored in
this Circuit, aud whose counsels will be
mourned. P. L. Herman.
Mrs. Sarah Jane Freeman, died, in
Graniteville, S. C., on 23 July, 18C6, aged
32 years 7 months.
She was reared by religious parents, and
after they died she continued to follow after
till she reached them in the promised land.
A little while before she died, she fired up
under the thought that she was trusting the
God of her fathers, and it made her exhort
all around her, to meet her in heaven ; and
she was particular in her speeches, to and
for her children, and to her sorrowing hus
band she has left behind. 1 like to see the
good meet their fate as she did. It was a
triumph. J. R. Pickett.

WRIGHT’S
PATENT IMPROVED
IRON SCREW,
For Packing Cotton.
rpilE ATTENTION O F COTTON
M. PLANTERS is invited to the claims of this inven
tion, which, in Simplicity, Economy, Durability and
Power, surpasses any machine for Baling Cotton, ever
belore piAfecnted to die c tiutry. Its great excellence
in these rt speels makes it the
BEST MACHINE FQH PACKING COTTON
IN THE WORLD!
1. ITS SIMPLICITY—It is ano w and improved ap
plication of the Screw Power; lust as simple in its con
struction as the old-iashioned wooden screw, as easi
ly managed, and no more liable to g»t outof order.—
No r pe.s or pnllms as us- and in the cotton presses.
2 LI’S ECONOMY.—It has been demons rated by c
tual experiment to be eh: aper than the wooden screw.
The timbers used in its construction are much small
er and fewer than those employed in the o and screw,
the levers being only 16 feet long, and the height of
the whole frame above the bed being only 10 feet. All
these timbers can be procured on the plantation, no
rna ter how exhausted the forest Any ordinary wood
workman can build the frame, and half a dozen hands
will put it up in a few hours
3. ITS DURABILITY.—The Screw and Nut are of
iron, aid will last ior years without any appreciable
wear. The whole machine occupies such a little space
that it can be completely covered at a very small
cost.
4. IIS POWER.—With a lever only 16 feet ’ong, one
mule is sufficient for packing the heaviest bales.—
Planters who have uedit say that with two mules
cotton may be compressed on this machine for ship
ment
This Screw was invented just before the opening of
the war and has subsequently never been generally
introduced. Those who have used it and seen it used,
unanimously concur in the opinion that
It is Unrivalled as a Cotton Screw.
“The following" te.-timonials from some of the best
and most reputable planters in the country, show
the estimate in which this Screw stands with those
who have tried it:
‘We have used ard seen in operation for the last
five yea- s, Wright’s Improved Cotton Iron Screw, and
feel no hesitation in prom uncing it ihe very i est Cot
ton Screw we have ever known So highly do we es
teem it, that if practicable to fbtain one of them, we
would have no other. It is easily built, simple in its
construction, rot liable to get out of order,packs well,
with great power, and with great facility.

Screw to their consideration. We think it cheaper to
buy a Wright Screw than to repair an old one. and, of
C'urse. cheaper and beter than the building of and
other Screw. One of us will visit every part of the
county b- fore the packirg season ; in the meantime,
communications addressed to us at Reynolds, Taylor
County, will meet with prompt attention.
