The following is a list of unclaimed ; letters for the month of June, 1902: MALES. G. T. Attaway. Gadsen Divis. M. M. Dean. 1 John Geiger. ! Columbus Leaver. 1 Thos. Lever. Esq. ! Hebe Lorick. FEMALES. Mrs. Sara Dreher. I Mrs. Minnie Griffin. Mrs. Fannie Smith. C. E. Leaphart, Postmaster, Lexington, S. C. Klondike's Letter. Yes Mr. Editor its mighty dry and hot; but the prospects now are that we will have showers. All's well and silent along the R. F. D. No. 1. Most of the farmers are weariDg long, dry faces, trying to imitate the weather, I guess. There's one man in Lewiedale, however, that is not wearing a long face: Rev. C. B. Avery, is a happy man, the birds sing sweeter and the echoes of distant music failing on his ear lights up his lace witn a smile as broad as the Atlantic Ocean but why ell this??it's only a girl. The Poet was sadly mistaken when he thought all the world would join him singing his sweet song, ' There's a laud that is fairer than day." One young man in our town declares he cannot conscienouely sing it. He spells the day with a capital D. However he sings through with great tenderness?"Beautiful Day." Yes we went down to the cue at friend Frys. No candidate except Uncle George Shealy wants these peoples votes or at least they don't seem to be very anxious about them. Two preachers and one candidate were the crop of public men, but the young people all came out and had a good time. The boys gave us some good music, but these girls and boys have Loo much self-respect to dance. Three or four young men celebrated the "fourth" by putting themselves out side of some booze. How foolish they did look and act, but I suppose they thought the same of us. Thats right young men play out to the end of your line, but it will snap one day and the golden cord will be loosen and life will be miserable. How manly they did look. 0 God when will the day come, when our young men will be free from this Demon of hell ? But why take on sc? They got it from our dispensary and on the 4th of July at that. Celebrating the 4th. Yes on that day we struck off the shackles of p. rnTrlaT\/1 onfl honor.io a frpp T>Pnr?lfi JUUglHUU HUU MV^VMLUV M **vv so far as the king was concerned. But to day many poor souls are under the tyrant "KiDg Alcohol" and we who beast of our freedom are not doing anything to release them. Kings cannot bind men, but sin can. I am sorry for the young man who drinks. He is 'ailing behind in the great march of life and sober young men are forging to the front. Tell Billie I'm not in the race, says Mr. Kyzer. He prefers for the present a quiet secluded spot where "even the thoughts of office trouble him not. That's right Mr. Preacher go a head and boom up the man who says favors of the dispensary but God pity your consistency. -n Ti i!.!. i_ i._ Jiir. Hidiior mis is not iih.b me iu write things so blue, but ain't it the truth? Well it will all come right when it is washed, but some things don't look like they were going to be washed. Miss Ethel Koon is visiting in the Pond Branch section. Our friend, Prof. I. B. Marsh of William and Mary's college spent a night at Mr. Jimmie Gunters last week. Shipping peaches is the order of the day. All the good people in the world are not dead yet. How many nice peaches, plums, apples and watermelons, Klondike does get out of the U. S. boxes. The watermellons however are put clown by the box, some times they are not off the vine, but then I know they must have been intended for me they are so close the road. The Hall Bro's. mill here is runing night and day. The boys will do you right so bring on your wheat Well I guess C. D. Barr will want somebody to die now, as be has his ccffiu factory about done. Tell Sharpe and Lever when they enter their desired heaven to remember. Klondike. Let our lady friends read this expression of appreciation from Mrs. Lula Frady, of Uree, N. C: k'I am void of words to adequately express my appreciation of .Ramon's Liver Fills and Tonic Pellets. I was a great suffer when I began the use of this Treatment.
