A part of last night and much of to-day has been delightfully spent in their perusal, especially thal Now Year's editorial, sq replete witt wise thought, patriotic spirit ant Christian advice and encouragement lt was indeed a treat to get these papers, but a feeling of sorrow per vaded my heart when I read of th? death of bright and promising Willi? Kay, of Seneca: the Christian, enter ! prising Harrison, of Walhalla; th< I noble and heroic veterans of th? I "Lost Cause," lt. S. Rutledge and H j I.. Brandt, than whom no brave I spirits espoused and shed their bloo< j for the dear Southland; and th< Htuunch and useful Judo Ivestor, am I pt hers, whose passing wo deopl, I.mourn. Truly. "In the midst of lif we are in death." "The grim mon ?ter knocks at the door of the palac of the klug as well as at thc door o the cottage of the peasant."The rici 1 and the exalted must die as well a the poor and humble. Then came the long Hst of patrio sons who are preparing to cross th "mighty deep" to face war, with al its horrors and bloody strife, am .death In the trenches, in defense o I our country and homes against th i imperial tread of cruelty, Injustice i barbarian oppression and savage in li u ma ni ty. I While. I admire and glory In th I patriotic spirit and loyal devotion <: put; noble young men, yet when i look upon their manly forms, clad i thc uniform of our beloved country my heart bleeds with sorrow: all j tho unbidden tear trickles down m cheek when I realise that not all ? I them will return. When 1 think ( thc grlef-strlcken parents, lott erl n Underneath the burden of years, wli I will weep as did Rachel of old; < the loving wife who has louder] ?gazed for the last lime upon ll? i fond husband, and imprinted tl I last long, loving kiss upon his man! j brow; of a sweet sister's last far well to a devoted brother; of tl sa?l parting of kindred souls pledge j in purest love, but never to moot th I ?side the joys of eternity, where hope a joyous and eternal reunir awaits all such spirits. But to n mind the saddest picture of all the youthful father embracing tl fond mother of their first-born at sadly bidding adieu to mama ni the baby. When 1 visited this section la August the good people were ju done "laying-by" their promislr crops, enjoying the earthly fruits ( their bodily toil and the splrltu sweets of several protracted mee ings, which culminated In a holine revival lasting two weeks, servlci day and niglit, underneath a cap' clous tent on one of Salem's sev< hills, whose dooring was native wo? shavings and saw dust, mixed wii wheat and rye straw. Underneath this wide-spreadll tent,'it was said. Jesus was soug and found, many souls purifico* at wholly saved, the taste for tob icc coffee, meat, whiskey, alcoholic o tracts aiid all vicious things utter destroyed, as well as bad habits ti terly abandoned. Christian folio' ship and neighborly love was said abound in that camp, and there w much testimony given by the bret ren and sisters. "By their fruits shall know them." Things are different now. Instei of heat and ?lust there has been month of sleet and snow, ice, nu and slush. Shooting matches, Chrli mas trees, rabbit hunting, cott< pickings and som?.' other divcrsio have been ongaged In, it is true, b the oldest people here say this li been the longest and coldest "spel in i heir memory. Koo wee River, Little River a Boone's ('reek have been solidly f; zen in still places. There is soi linen monia and much grip prevails the neighborhoods. I have heard ses<>ral mules and horses being kill by slipping and sliding on the ice, I have visited only a Tew pla since I came here, as my physic i has required mo lo stay In dur bad weather, But there is plenty good wood and rich pine to mt good Ares; pork, spareribs, ha bones, sausage, rabbit hash, fr beef, a few quail, squirrels i " 'possum and taters," and 'all sc of canned fruits and vegetables those~piaces, Before 1 got too sick to cat rn I helped to devour a birthday ? nor at the home of li. B, Hag(?o the family at the time rejoicing C a visit of their sol il 1er son, Wal from Alabama. I spent ten days with John Fowler, a prosperous farmer, who owns a large tract of land within" threo miles of Salem, on Boone's Creek. Ho made a lino crop this year, with himself and wlfo and only three children old enough to work on tho farm-the oldest only 16 years of age. Ho etslmates the products of his tarin ns follows: Six 500-tb bales cotton . . . .$ 700.00 200 bushels corn . ?100.00 0 0 bushels peas . 150.00 T2?> gallons sorghum .... 100.00 Potatoes . 75.00 Colton seed, cane seed, fod der, shucks, etc. 2.00 $1327.00 This does not Include the amount derived from garden, melon and.to bacco and truck patches. Mr. Fowler is a quiet, industrious farmer with an interesting family. \ has plenty about him, and whoever stops with him, friend or stranger, ls made to feel at home and welcome. A week at the homo of Dr. John M. Collins and the kind treatment of himself and family have so far re- I stored mo that I hope to 'bc home in a few days. Dr. Collins and family are too well known to your readers to need any praise from me. If I get sick In this neighborhood any more I will know where to go. I thought I would go home to day, but Fred O'Shields and his ex cellent wife, with whom 1 now am staying, say the weather ls too bad and the ronds too rough for me to travel to-day. When oilo ls sick, a long way from homo, low In funds, and no longor retains his youth and beaury (?) he ls easily persuaded to slay at a place like this. Mr. O'Shields owns and resides on part of the Capt. Leonard Rogers place, near Salem, and resides at the dd homestead. Ile married a dangler of Daniel Alexander, a grand-daugh ter of Capt. Rogers. He has a nico home, and is a prosperous farmer. Host wishes for Tho Courier, all its force and many subscribers. X. B. Cary. KAT RIC MF.AI-S !
