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

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.

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."

"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."
"That sounds rather flattering,"
remarked Dr. Price-Price.

The following letter from A. J.
Nusbaum, of Batesville, lad., tells its
own story. "I suffered for three
i months with a severe cold. A druggist
prepared me some medicine, and
^ a physician prescribed for me, yet I
did n H improve. I then tried Foley's
Honey and Tar, and eight doses
cured me." Refuse substitutes.

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! Baptist
church in the year 1853 Her home being
established at Lewied-ile she later became
a member of the Lewiedale Baptist

met cheerfully all the requirements of
church membership. 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. We
sorrow not as those wtiohave no hope, for as
Jesus lives so also lives, and beyond 'bis
mortal line, out in the glory light of G >d,
some sweet day a jovous meeting there will
be. " J. E.

FARMER IN WINTER TIME.
Steady Jol>s Are Feeding the Stock
and Ket'j)!ng Warm.
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

dead as household spinning. In those
times of wood tires and wood ashes all
self respecting families made soap.
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. St. John,
one day found a badger in a trap not
much injured. Tying a rope to its hind
leg, he drove the animal home?strange
to say. the captive beast jogging steadily
along in front of him and giving
little more trouble than a pig going to
market. Or. reaching home the animal
was put for the night into a paved
court, where it seemed perfectly secure.
"Next morning." said St. John, "he was
gone, having displaced a stone that I
thought him quite incapable of moving,
and then, digging under the wall, lie
got away."
