Mrs. Lyles was the "youngest daughter of Col. Austin F. Peay, who represented Fairfield Couuty for many years in the State Senate. Sfce was three or four years younger than her venerable husband, who is now about 87 years of age. Of her father's family there were Martha Black, Sarah Myers, Nicholas A. Pe&y, who was also Senator from Fairfield County and the wealthiest planter of the: county when he died ju?t before the war, Mary Polnitz, and last, Eliza, wife of Thos. M. Lyles. It is enough to say that she was uHsnmassed as a wife in her aifec- 1 tion to her husband and her family, and in her skill us % man iger of a large household, and a devoted Christian. wimrsbobo as a cattle market. Wiansboro ia rapidly becoming a very prominent c&ttle market. Abont i 1000 head of cattle are now on this ; market. Moat of theui came from the i conuty, though a great many are hrnncht from N>whprrv. TTnlon. York. 1 Chester and Lancaster. This is an encouraging 6ign. It is said to be a profitable business. Those farmers who have more land than they- can cultivate would do well to use the surplus for pasturing cattle. We heard a gentleman suggest a short time ago, thai the farmer who would tart with a good many cattle and plant an acrc of cotton for each cow k?pt would in a few years have a mo3t successful cotton farm, to say nothing of his stock farm. The cotton would furnish feed for Jhis eattle, enrich his land, and the lint cotton could be regarded as a perquisite. A systematic working of this plan would doubtless prove satisfactory. no cure-.jfo pay . This is the way all druggists sell Gbove's Tasetless Chill Tonicfor Chills and Malaria.

Mr. Editor: I write this to verify Mr. A. S. Douglass' location of the "Mobley Meeting House." He has given very plainly the location.

My brother, J. C. Feasor, of Buckhead, S. C., has the map. Yon might learn from him. The bluff or precipice on (he east was quite precipitous which rendered it difficult of ascent or descent. Of the particulars of (he fight I know very little, but I remember very well that the Mobleya of that day, of whom I am a lineal descendant through ray grandmother, Drucilla Mobley, were noa-combat ants. They were Dtmkards, a kind of Quakers, and wore their beards long. I believe it was part of their religions faith or custom to so wear their beard. It was through their pcacefnl disposition or to their fears that Wade Hampton, on one of his forays against the Loyalists or Tories, obtained all of that valuable tract of lacd afterwards owned by Dr. David H. Means, known as "Hampton," and the Poplar Ridge and Lyles Field, owned by Dr. Means. They were gathered at their meeftog house for worship and he came upon thein and charged them with being Tories a::d that they were assembled for unlawfn! purposes, bat told them if they would give me lanas mention above that he would not arrest or punish any of them. My old friend Major T. W. "Woodward has asked for testimony from all who kr.ew anything at all from either Bide." Well, I know very little, as will be seen from what I have written. I am descended from vrhat was then called the Tories through my giandmother Mobley, and I am not at all ashamed to say so here. The Mobleys were among the first settlers of Fairfield and have always held a high pesi tion socially and otherwise. In fact they are among Fairfield's best citizens. A word about Fort Wagoner or Wagner. It was situated on Beaver Creek, on land that has been in possession of the Feaster family for more than one hundred years, now belonging to the estate of T. D. Feasier, lately deceased. Wagoner was a bloocl re I five of the Mobleys and was a Whig. There was a few years ago distinct .narks of the old fort.

May God bless her and the many true and tried friends I left there. I hare been solicited more than once during your late, heated, political canvasses to write what I know about "Tom" Woodward. If the Major, my old friend, does not object, and you would care to publish it, now that the excitement ha3 to some extent subsided, I will write a i short sketch of what I know of that true friend and noble citizen. We have nearly always differed in our opinions, but I hope have never lost our respect for each other. D "R.. HVnqfer. Princeton, Ark., Dec. 20, 1897. Relief la Six Honrs.
