The Lexington Dispatch Wednesday, March 9, 1904. ^ Items from Half Way Hollow. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Ifc has been some time since you have beard from me, but time is the only money a poor laboring man has, so it takes nearly all my time to keep the wolf from our door. Farmers down in these diggins to.- are pushing things preparing for another crop. We have very little sickness now and the mad dog scare is about over. We believe the law ought to be + enforced on some careless persons for not being more careful about dogs. Uncle Georg6 Clark has moved his family to the Black creek mill. We gladly welcome Uacle George and ?lr? irt nnn mi^of ills lauiitj iu uui uiiudi> Mr. R E. Miller is making great improvements on his dwelling and i he, too, like Uncle George, will be all smiles to night. But of the two, we ! must think Uncle George will be the happiest, for be not only has a new dwelling, but the Bcorched cakes prepared by clumsy hands are no longer, instead biscuits, bam and | ^ggs prepared in the most skillful k manner will be served. Well, we all can rejoice with Uncle George that ever had to live in a bachelor's hall. But others are rejoicing, too?the ^ young folks are talking of paying him a visit already. We learn that Mr. Burgee, whose store was broken into some time ago at Steadman, has found no trace of the thief. What is the matter at Steadman? Anything from an 8x8 24 feet down f to slats and cord wood, disappears by the slight of hand, yet we know there are some honest men there. Go to work and let the guilty ones be known. With best wishes to the Editor, the Dispatch and all of its readers. As ever, Traveler. r Cured Consumpton. Mrs. B. W. Evans, Char water, Kan., writes. "My husband lay sick for three months. The doctors said he had quick consumption. We procured a bottle of Ballard's Horehound Syrup, and it cured him. That was six years ago and since then we have always kept a bottle in the house. We cannot do without it. For coughs and colds it has no equal." 25c, 50c and ?1.00. Sold by The Kaufmann Drug Co. r _ ?? Accuses Secretary Hay. Sfc.

"Doctor," said the patient after paying his bill, if there is anything in the theory of the transmigration of souls, you'll be a war horse after death."

Died, at her home in Lewieda'e Lexirgton county, S C , on the 10'. of Februan. 19 '4, Mrs Ellen Hallman, wife of Mr. Daniel J. Ha'lman. Mrs. Haiiman was the daughter of Eh'jah Hall, deceased, and a sister of Rev. Lemuel Hall. She was born January 19th. 1S32. In early lite she found that this world was but a training school, and this life was to be a life ot' service; not for the attainment of selfish ends, but for the good of those around us and the glory of God Led by these convictions she united with the Mt. Eba!

On the 10th day of September. 1853, she was united in marriage to Daniel J. Haliman, of Lexington county, S C. She was the mother of nine caildren?five sons and four daughters. Four of her children preceded her to the spirit land. For more than forty-seven years she stood as the faithful and true helpmeet of her husband, sharing his trials, wiping away his tears of sorrow and entering into his joy. To her children she was devoted. Around them gathered a mother's love. For them nc task seemed too bard for her to undertake. To her neighbors she was an ever ready helper. In their homes her presence was a benediction. She desired to be a blessing and not a bnrden to those about her. The gracious master had respect to this desire and he gave her strength to prepare the meals for her tamilv the last day of her life, and while she slept God called her spirit unto himse'f In her immediate fam lv she leaves a husband, five children, forty-three grand children aid three great grand children behind, while she joins her four children and thirteen grand children whe have gone before.

The great steady winter jobs on an American farm in the north nowadays are feeding the stock and keeping warm. And keeping warm nowadays means hauling coal. When I lived in the country, it meant cutting wood. It meant for our large family constant teaming day after day from the woods to the wood yard and a wood pile that must have covered a quarter of an acre. It meant toward spring the coming of men with a horse power and buzz saw to cut firewood, and that was almost as interesting an operation as j thrashing. There were oilier stirring days when the lake had frozen hard and the icehouse was filled, involving ice cutting and more teaming and more precarious hitching on behind loads and going back in empties. And early in the winter there was the momentous and gory killing of pigs. Oh. that was indeed a stirring time! They kill a pig every second, no doubt, in Chicago nowadays, but that is mere mechanical routine, with no quality cf sport in it. There was nothing so very slow about the country winter ?n days as late as the civil war. I suppose soapm r> 1-?n <T 00 o illdlKtl'T i<5 J1 <s Uiliailig 11 v* <4 \UMI1V.

Our family had an outstanding kitchen expressly for that use. with a big cistern-like hogshead behind it in which ashes were leached and convenient tubs for holding tbr soft soap. A very handsome substance is soft soap of the proper consistency and complexion, and a pleasing exerc'se it used to be for the young to stir it with a stick and watch its undulations. All the superfluous fat of meat from our kitchen was turned into soft soap in those nearby old times.?Harper's Magazine. Tlie Badstr's Dtcffins Ability. The sportsman naturalist.
