The disease has not really become epidemic and as yet it has not interfered to any great extent with the attendance at Mt. Zion. It 13 sc&rcsl} probable that we will have very many cases as it has not been long since tbe disease was epidemic here. ?it win paraaps interest many iu p- ' know thai the first college Y. M. C.

Mr. Freeman, 01 Lowrysville, who preached ^ both here an^i in Ridgewav on las Sunday, .'hat ihey have caiieU him to v the pas> crate of these churches. It is not known yet whether Mr. Freeman - will acc;the call. Since Mr. Ferris' departure for another field these church - have been without a pastor. -^The effect of the recent severe cold cau be seen . upon some of the live oak trees growing abou' town, y The .leaves have turned yellow ^nd show plainly that they have been hurt by the cold. There are not many of these tries here bat those that are here have never before been injured by the cold. Tne fact that these large trees fc- have beea injured is a proof that never before fcuve we had such cold weather. ?Senator Tillman's resolution authorizing the Secretary of War to lend cots for the Confederate reunion has passed. The following articles S" will be lent to the veterans by the Secretary of War: 10,000 cots, 10,000 aafctresses and 2,000 tents. Thi3 will be a great help to the executive committee of the U. C.

She was about ?even:y-two years ^ of age and she and her hu-band had . ' lived together for fort>-:w<? 3 ears.

A very nice little sum was collected here and it win always j be a source of gratification to those * who contributed to the fund that they < have helped to reward one of the heroes of the State. Editor Gonzp.ies j now suggests that the Patriotic As- j socialion shall honor Major Jenkins as j well as Lieut. Blue. The ladies wili j no doubt act upon this suggestion. ?The illness of Rudyard Kipling, j th3 celebrated English author and poet, has caused deep anxiety aud sorrow all over the world almost. Thia oriffpfl ma-, has made a ffreat name for himself and has won the j love and admiration of people wher-1 ever his writings have reached- The j bulletins from his physicians are read j with the keenest interest, and in many j churches prayers have been offered' for his recovery. It is to bs hoped j that such a man as this, for whom | there seezos to be such a brilliarnt i future, will be spared. Kipling's j death would cause unusual grief. ?Th? bicycle riders are hoping that j whi:e the work of improving the : streets is going onilnt they will not: be forgotten ana !hat tne authorities i 3 I wi!i have a bicycle path made through i jrtam street, lqis is su-ueunui; mn tue owut-rs of wheels have long felt the nead of and taev hope that if j possible they will have a bicycle path, j Toe prospect of having the Main ; Street pat in good coadition is a most delightful one and if the town council succeeds in carrying out their plans they will have the gratitude of every j one. We ho^e that they will take the i bicyclists into consideratiea and will discuss the matter of a path through Main Street. ?We think that it will be a good j plan for Winnsboro to follow ths example of several towns in the State and chaDge tbe date of Memorial Day. The 10th of^May is the day set apart for Memorial Day, but this* year it will coaae just when the Confederate rpnnirm ia nf ifc hMtrhfc ?r?;l most of the veterans and probably a great i many who are not veterans will be in . Charleston at that time- It seems; j therefore, that the only thing to do j wiil be to select a day either before or ! after the reunion for the memorial i exercises. It wQuld' seem a pity to; have the exercisee at a time when so many are absent. This is a matter fcr tbe Ladies Memorial Association to attend to, and they, will no donbt arrange things so that tbe two celebrations will not clash. ? ?The wa-m weather of last week j was brought -to a close by a severe j storm on Saturday night. For several ! days during the past week the weather I was very warm- and on Saturday the j mercury was up io the eighties cau*- j ing winter clothes to be discarded and j summer clothes, to b2 brought oat. j The storm on Sitardav nigh', how- I ever, cansed a great fall in the tempe- j ratare. This Lstorm was unusuaUy severe. The rain fell in torrents and was accompanied by high wind and hail and very severe thunder and j lightning. Although the storm was ; such a severe one no damagr was done i in town excepting to the telephones, ; and nearly every phone in town was: ournt oat. .A heavy fro3t whitened j the ground on M?aday raorniDg, bat j nothing was injured. ?President Woodward, of the South !

I i It is very bard to stand idly by and 1 see onr dear ones suffer while aw aiting i the arrival ot the doctor. An Albany j (N.

As v ihe was driving p^st a group of small ^ boys one of thein, evidently not realizing what a dangerous thing he was 1 doing, aimed his air guu at the young lady nnd *fbe ball struck her in the e\e. Fortunately- the ball did not strike the eyebail, .but. buried itself in 1 the eyelid. She was taken to Dr. Buchanan who [removed the ball from the eyelid.

Spring, gentle, balmy spring ha9 ' come at Jast and dispelled the gloom of winter. How refreshing to have such weather after the hard winter we. hare just experienced?a winter which ? was perhaps the coldest ever known in , South Carolina. How all nature seems * to rejoice over the coming of-spring * when everything seems to spring forth to a newness of life. The birds vie with each other in their songs, which' seem to be sweeter than ever before. s I can hear a mocking bird singing now oat in the flower garden. How sweet . this bird of the Southland can sing; 1 how perfectly it can imitate the notes ' of all other birds. Down on thea branch can be heard the son? of the - red bird and others of the feuth.-red 7 tribe.

Mr.. Editor: Feeling that the indij:rimiaate killing of birds 80 freely in- 1 in)ged in through this section of the ' jountry is dne either to thoughtless aess or ignorance, the following is respectfully submitted. Yon can use j part, or all, or none, as yon decide ] jest. ' i In Pennsylvania a few years ago the ! Legislature placed a bounty on the i beads of owls and hawks. These ] popularly are. recognized as our enemies. More than $50,000 was paid . out in these bounties. The next year 1 the-crops of grain were almost com* " pletely destroyed by field mice and ( 5th?r rodents and the loss to the farm- ^ srs amounting io about $4,500,000, < showed conclusively that owls-and* aawks were friends, not enemies. ' In times past we are t.->M Germany 1 paid a bounty on the heads < f birds of 1 many kinds.

A few ! jyordi as to each: : i An examina Jon of the stomachs of obins sLowed that over 42 o r cent of ts food is animal matter, principally nstcts; 58 per cent of tbe fo>d is referable, of whbh only 4 par cnt is 3f the cultivated varieties; Grass- j aoppers make np one-tenth of tbe < prbole food, bat io August comprise j aver 80 per cent. All ttoe gra?KDep. j pers, caterpillars, boga and beetles are t njariou3 to our crops. The robin lakes ten timer as much wild fruits as sf cultivated; and it is also a fact that* \ fce mass of the wild fruit used by him j it of the kinds that man neither gathin for his use or adapts for cnltiw ion. All birds prefer fruit that is 1 insipid or has some bitter astringent juauiy. The meadow larks are almost enirely beneficial to the planter..
