Sale in, Jan. 21. - lid I tor Courier:
For more than fifty years I have heoii
almost a constant reader of Tho Koo
wee Courier, but 1 have never fully
realised how much I appreciated it
until now, for the reason that 1 have
been absent from Seneca a month,
and owing to bad roads and the ir
regularity of the mails 1 ?lld not re
ceive the last four Issues until yes
torday. 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.

blaze this city has seen In many a
day occurred Monday evening about
7 o'clock when the big S. J. Kimball

opposite the post offlce. was burned
to the ground, destroying a large
quantity of feed and If) head of
mules, and entailing a loss of some
thing like $0,000 or $7,000. The
teed, wagons and buggies were part
ly covered by insurance, but the live

total loss. The building was partly

How Long Must I Suffer
From the Pangs of Rheumatism?
Is there no real relief in sight?
Doubtless like other sufferers, you
have often asked yourself this ques
tion, which continues to remain un
answered.
Science has proven that your Rheu
matism is caused by a germ in your
blood, and the only way to reach it is
by a remedy which eliminates and re
moves these little pain demons from
your blood. This explains why Uni"
meats and lotions can do no perma
nent good, for they cannot possibly
reach these germs which infest your
blood by tht millions.
S. S. S. has been successfully used
for Rheumatism for more than fifty
years. Try it to-day, and you will
find yourself at last on the right
track to get rid of your Rheumatism.
