coldest days that we have had this
winter. The mercury fell rapidly on
1 "Wednesday night and on Thursday
morning registered 10 degree1?, which
is s-V-iething rather unusual for us.
Friday was a little colder than the
the preceding day, the thermometer
being 9 degrees on that day. It is
feared that the extreme cold has done
much damage to plants, as they were
in a very tender and succulent state
before the cold wave came.

MR. A. B. DOUGLASS DEAD.
Mr. A. B. Douglass, of Blackstock,
died at his home just across the )ine
between Fairfield and Chester on
Monday Light at about seven o'clock.
He had the grippe which developed
into pneumonia. Mr. Dougiass was
! something over seventy years of age,
I a highly respected and useful citizen,
and his death is a great loss to the
community in which he lived and to
Fairfield and Chester. While his
residence was in Chester County, he
had considerable estate in Fairfield *
and was, therefore, identified to a
great extent with the people of Fairfield.
He was an elder in the Presbyterian
Church at Blackstock, and
took an active part in the work of the
church. Mr. Douglass was ;a brother;
of Riv. James Douglass, and he
leaves a widow and four grown son?,
among them Messrs. J. E. Douglass
and W. S. Douglass, merchants of
Blackstock.
DEATH OF JOE SHEDD.
Died at his home ne\r Monticello on
the 18th inst. from a complication of j
diseases, Mr. Joe Shedd, aged about
50 years. The deceased was at one
time a. soldier in the Confederate
army. He had been a sufferer for
roauy years and while death was a relief
to him, his family and friends
were loath to part with one who was
endeared to them by so many ties that
bind us together here on earth. He
leaves a wife and two sons, who i..?ve
j been unremitting- in (he care of their
loved one daring his many* years of
hopeless affl'.etiou. To them we extend
our heartfelt sympathy in th -ir
sad bereavement.
Rest in peace. k

ORGANIZATION OF AN A. R.P. CHURCH
IN COLUMBIA.
Until Monday night there had never
been an A. R. P. Church in 0'ir capital
city. Oar A. R. P. Readers will bo
glad to know that there is one there
now.
Rev. G. K. White, of Griffith, N. 0.,
superintendent of mission? of the First
Presbytery, went down Monday noon,
and was joined here by Messrs. Jas. a.
Brice and T. H. Ketchin, elders in the
A. R. P. Chnrch at this place, who had
been appointed by Presbytery to take
part in the organization. These gentlemen,
together with Rev. J. G. Dale,
the missionary in charge, were to
organize the church Monday night.
Mr. Daie, who is so pleasantly remembered
by many of our readers
whv heard him at the A. R. P. Church
last November, has been laboring in
Columbia since last August, and has
oeen successful in his efforts, as the
above shows. The congregation has
been worshiping in an excellent hall
on Main s-reef, bat thsy expect to have
a building of their own before a great
while.
Not a few who read what Mr. Robert
Rowls, of Hollands, Va., ha3 to say
below, will remember cheir own experience
under like circumstances: "Last
winter I had la grippe which left me
in a low state of health. I tried
numerous remedies, none of which
did me any good, until I was induced
tc try a bottle of :hamberlain's Cough
Remedy. The first bottle of it so far
relieved me that I was enabled to
atteud to my work, and the second
bottle effected a cure." For sale at 25
and 50 cents per bottle by McMaster
Co., Druggists. *
FAIRFIELD AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
A few years ago this society was
organized and accomplished a great
r>f annd. The enrolled members
embraced the names of several hundred
of our most active and energetic
farmers. The business men of Winnsbc.ro
likewise gave their support to the
s ;Cie.y. Under it3 auspices a number
of prominent agricultural scientists
and practical farmers delivered addresses
which were interesting and
instructive.
The magnificent display of the
resources of Fairfield as exhibited at
our annual institute in the past was
the result of tha organization of this
society. It has been a Fource of great
regret to its originators that the society
v>ai7o hppr. ailnwpd to become I
OUUUiU uv?i v vvw. _ - __
[defunct. The disorganization and j
| discontinuance of the annnal institutes j
are chiefly due to the very stringent j
times for the last few years. Some o7
the promoters are still convinced tbat
such an organization can be successfully
operated and produce good results.
It i~ possible that (be society
attemp'ed to ou'resch itself and had
institutes loo extensive, and therefore
too expensive. The gentlemen who
are now con^tfeiing the advisability
of reTivin? and reorganizing this
society think tbat by having institutes j
on a modest ajd less elaborate scale, j
they can succeed. We hope that they
wii! meet with the encouragement and j
success tbat they deserve.
If strength is what you want, you
should study what causes your weakness.
It is practically lack of food.
But you eat three meals a d^y, and
all you cau eat at a time.
Yes, but ao you digest it?
Food undigested, is not food. It is
not nourishment.
It doesn't create strength.
To digest your food take Shaker
Digestive Cordial at meals. After a
while you will digest you - food
without it. Then you will 5et well,
and strong and healthy.
Shaker Digestive Cordial cures indigestion
and all its symptoms, snch as
nausea, headache, eructations, pain in
stomach, giddiness, loss of appetite,
etc. It makes yonr food nourish you,
and make you strong and fat "and
hearty.

the buckhead academy*
Iq the grand little town of Buckl.ead,
Of which you all have often rear!;
There is in this village a little school
Where the children go and keep the
roles.
It is situated way down in the pine?,
"Where you a'l have visited it many
times.
The school consists of only ore room,
And once a d^v i? swent with a broom.
The cracks in tLe old room let in the
Tew,
And a"e large enough to throw a cat
through.
The charts and the globes are too lovely
to mention,
And this is what draws the childieu's
attention.
Tne benches are long and not so wide,
And to hold them np they have to be
tied.
The doors are witnout latches or locks,
But on the mantle stands a little clock.
A description oi the scholars I'll endeavor
to make,
Though conscious of the fact it's quite
a task to take.
However great tLe task may be, ii will
not me deter,
I've taken the j ;b and am goingjahead
regardless of fear.

They seem to think a great deal of each
other,
And each is thought best by his own
mother.
Parents should be proud of boys like
these,
WhoJ never get mad and can't be
teased.
Their lessons they always know very
well,
AnH TT7hn ic fVio smartest is hard to tell. I
Mis* Mary Fee, who is seven yeai'S
old,
Is not a bit bashful and not a bit bold.
Iler eyes are brown and her lace how
bright,
Her little che^k* s ? red and so while.
Her ski s -iark and her golden hair
Hing$ on her shoulders so soft and
fair.
She is a littJe girl who never sets sad,
And seems to be happy and glad.
At last but not least comes the smallest
girls,
One with long hair and the other with
short curls.
The-e two little maidens are ever so
dear,
And to each oiher are very sincere.
Iu school you will find them in their
place?,
Ve.v quiet but with smiles on their
faces.
Of all ?irls these are the bright si and
best,
And if von *ee them once you are
favorably imp -essed.
Mary and Cornelia Yongue are their
name?,
It matters dot when >oil see them ihey
are the same.
Tbev always carry a very light heart,
Ar.d in their books are ever so "-mart.
Now comes the teacher: what about
Libi .
Iler name is Miss Allie KerrShe
is a lady cf an upright mind,
A heart most loving and a disposition
kind.
She interests the childieu by telling
them stories;
She is as bi ight as a moi niug gl^rv.
With the lessons she takes the greatest
care,
And at school rever fails to appear.
When Miss Allie goes home ever so
far,
What will we do without our morning
star?
I
In several weeks she leaves for borne,
Then we wil! all be left alone.
Misses Aliie :'n?l (it ace are thick as
can be,
Because they are so in h alike you
see.
They i> tr. aic bies-ed vi a a graceful
air,
And when you see one the other is
luurti.
For 'car your pacicnce is thoroughly
worn out,
And now jour Hps will b>gm to pout,
We will say one word more to you,
And this is it: Adieu, friends, adieu.

PROSPEROUS GREEN'BRIAR.
The Farmers Own Their Own Land, and are
Doing Everything to Improve the Community?An
Enviable Record.
Some Sickness.
We regret that you los', Mr. W. J i
Elliott, bai congratulate you upon se- |
curing tbe services of Mr. William?
and Mis* D wight.
Our farmers closed up the business
of t'lii old year in inuch better sbape
than they commenced, notwithstanding
tbe extreme hot and dry weather
of la-t summer. We m:uie a pretty
fair crop. Provisions were cheap,
and we realized a higher price for
oar cotton than we expected. The
majority of the farmers have gone to
work in earnest a::d it seems from
their action that they are determined
to do even better than usual We have
ornar? labor, and the farmers and
,
laborers have each other's interest in
view, and so work. I attribute the
success of our people in this neighborhood
to the fact that nearly all the
land is owned b7 the parties who reside
on it, and, of course, they take
an interest in the advancement of the
community that, they would not otherwise.
We congratulate ourselves that
only one small tract of land was sold
this winter, and that to settle an estate,
and was purchased by oue of our
most energetic and successful farmers,
Mr. J. L. Robinson. I refer to the
Hobbs place.
The Greenbrier school is in a flourishing
condition.
Mr. J. C.Green, a graduate of the
Citadel, from Orangeburg, is in charge
ot the school ana is doing an excellent
work. He is m high favor with both
patrons and pupils.
The first quarterly conference for
the Winnsboro station was neia at
Greenbriar on Saturday and Sunday,
the 23rd and 24th inst. Rev. J.
Walter Dickson, the Presiding Elder,
was present and preached two very
fine sermons. The financial report
was very good.
There has been, and is a great deai
of sickness iu the community, but by
the skillfal services of Drs. Hanahan
and Buchanan, only a few cases have
proven fatal.
Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Jeffers and their
family, "who los-t two of their daughters
the same da>, have th-* sympathy
of the entire community.
Dr. Arledge is about well again.
Miv. Rice, of Bamburg, is quite
sick at Mrs. E. C. Nelson's.
Mrs. Lyles, who has been quite sick
at Mrs. Elkins', is better.
Mrs. Isa Ruff and her daug'.iie-,
Mrs. Rutland, are able to be up.
We are sorrs' to report that o .r
veteran friend, Mr. B. H. Robertson,
of the Mossy Dale community} is still
critically ill.
