The area of thes$. Islands Is

Isles, and the population tobbout
the same.
The Japanese ooast Is very
. rocky and bold,, and many -vol
canoes traverse these Islands.
Japan produces a great quan
tity of tea, gold, silver iron and
copper.
The inhabitants are small peo

have many queer customs, such
as using st^raw mats for tables
and chairs, and taking off their
shoes before entering their hous
es.
The government of Japan is a
monarchy.* The "Mikado** is
aided by a Great Council.
The religion of the Japanese

have become Christians.
The capital of Japan is Tohoyo.
Japan is a very independent lit
tle country, and has just declar
ed war against Russia.

JAPAN.
Japan is a group of Islands
east of Asia. Although the coun
try is very small, it is one of the
foremost countries ot Asia, and
Is increasing in prosperity very
rapidly.
It liee between the parallels of
of 30 and 50 degrees north lati
tude, (but is very narrow. It
comprises four islands, and To
kio is the capital. Although a
snail country, it has a fine (army
and navy, and has whipped
China, a country many times the
size of it.
The men come over to Ameri
ca to go to West- Point and An
napolis. They are gmall and
agile, tfKcl make fine sailors and
soldiers.
At one time they were all hea
then, but now in Tokio there are
fifty -six Christian churches and,
unlike most heathen countries,
they are anxious to become
Christianized. -
The islands they live in are of
volcanic origin, "and have many
volcanoes on them now. Scien
tists say that the land is never
at rest, and an earthquake is go
ing on all the time.
At present they are at war
with Russia, a country much
larger than they are; hut they
have destroyed many vessels al
ready, but they cannot hold out
long, because they are so small.

ICE.
Ice is frozen water. Green
grocer a U3e ice in warm weather
to pat fish on, or any other sort
of meat, or anything that will
not keep without the use of it.
loathe summer time some people
get ice for their water, tea, milk,
or any sort of drink, to make it
cool and refreshing.
In Alaska and northerti Cana
. da, and many other cold places
like that, ice cutting is the chief
industry.
Poor people who have no fuel
for fire, or have no money.to buy
any, undoubtedly suffer for the
want of it. Many people who do
not know any bettor, and go
skating on ponds or lakes, some
, times break a bone or two, be
cause the ice is weak in some
places and will not hold them.
When it rains and the weather
is real cold, it freezes the rain
on the trees, houses, ditches and
ruts; it makes the scenery beau
tiful. If it were not so cold, I
think to take a drive through the
country where the woods are
thick, - the scenery would be
beautiful, if everything were
covered with ice as it is now.

Editor "Tli ? People." ? The

hone. We will now acknowledge
oar high appreoktiOQ <tf 4The

editor ee well, for hit kind re
membranoe of o? ra placing oar

We will farther show our appre

We hare just retained from a
two weeks trip In the mountains
of the upper ooaatlee of this
State, where snow, ice and corn
whiskey at thia time of the year
reigns supreme, and we feel ve
ry much as if we had been struck
by a cyclone, or a Rodgers en
gine.
We will have to congratulate
you on your new and, what wc
think, a successful enterprise?
"The People." Our family is
delighted with it, and especially
with your promise to treat your
patrons each week to chicken,
or, rather, to give them dots on
the successful way of raising
tbem. .Our wife is an enthusiast
on the poultry question. She,
in the fall, sold otf all her stock
except thirty hens snd two
crowers. Her weekly income
since Christmas on those has
been an average of $2, and not
all of the hens were laying. The
price of eggs ranged from 25 to
32 cents per doxen.
Our wife is anxious to learn
what is the best kind of food and
the best method of treatment to
bring the best resultt m the pro
duction of eggs. East Tennes
see is hard to beat as a poultrj
producing section. But you
know, brother Schrock, that a
a woman's wants are hard to
supply. I have known some
wives to quarrel with their hus
bands because the hens would
not lay twice per day.
If you can suggest any plan
or diet that will bring about the
two eggs per day result, you
then will be termed a ladies man.
East Tennessee has been vis
ited by the most severe winter
that we have had in over
twenty years. Continued, and
some very extreme, cold wea
ther, accompanied by snow and
ice, has prevailed here since No
Ivember 1st.
The wheat, oat and grass
crops are said to be greatly
damaged, due to their being fro
zen out.
Stock of all kinds ? horses
mules and cattle ? are scarce, and
in demand at high prices.
Success to "The People," the
editor aud his tamily. Also to
my many friends and acquaint
ances in Kershaw and surround

After several weeks illness,
the little daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. X C. Josey died on Thurs
day, Feb. 18th, aged six months.
Our sincere sympathy i9 extend
ed to the bereaved parents. The
funeral services were conducted
at Turkey Creek church.
The attention of our town au
thorities is respectfully called to
the horrible condition of the new
public road leading from Little
Lynches creek to town, near the
depot. It is almost impassable,
and the traveling public is com
plaining in consequence.
