RED BLUFF JOTTINGS,
On Thursday evening last a most
enjoyable sociable was had at the
rcaideuco of Mr. J. J. Lane. Those
instrumental in causing this gather
ing of the young people of the com
munity were Messrs Harris Parker,
Luther Parker, Leroy David and
Joel Mclutyrc. When young men
of auch high character as these are al
thc head of any pastime or pleasure
the older people can bid them go
ahead.
Such galheiings in such a home
are helpful and uplifting to the
joting peolpe and should be encour
aged.
I intended in last week's letter to
note the presence at entertainment at
Ked BlnlT Academy of persons from
various sections. I saw familiar faces
from Tatum, Olio, McCall, Hebron,
Blenheim, Little Kock, Gallavon and
Bennettsvillo. Among those from
latter placo was Miss Eulah Roper.
We were pleased to see her and would
have her come again.

1TK0M BRIGHTSVILLE.
Happenings Among tho Fooplo In. This
Pro31)0rona Township.
Mr. Editor:-I will oak permission
to admit me ogain. On my last trip
through our little town, I could see
many changes, but to day I have wit?
ncEBcd a great many mofe changes.
My friend E. W. G. did not raise
grass eeed enough to supply his de
mand so I have been told, and is or?
dering great boxes of the kind tbnt
stays green nil the winter, and is put
ting it in bis front yard. If he was
like J am about such things he would
let it alone. I like the kind of grass
that yeal can kill. This here new kind
they tell me will liye if you hang it
upon top of the stumps that he is sow
ing. So you see in a few years all of
Brightsville will be coveted with this
new kind of grass. So our town will
then wear a winter green instead of
brown.
Well nil thia seems strange 'o a
backwoods boy. I sometimes wish I
could live in a town or city. I would
see so many pietty things; but I reckon
it is best as it is, fer then I would soon
become tired of city acenc9 and would
long to be back in the country, where
I could bear the wabble of my sweet
pets, the mocking bird and robin red
breast; and the best friend of all, that
is the red bird. You Lave heard him
soon in the morning when be wou'd
say "boys, boys, get up, get up, get
up!"
"I sometimes nm all moet persuad
ed to wish I bad been born rich, but
then I consider it would be a vain
wish. We must cinsider the lilies of
the valloy. So they murmur not; wby
ono diflereth from the other, and seem
to bo su tidied each one with bia lot.
We also met our old friend and
townsman but now a countryman,
J. D. McQueen. We ex tond to you a
cordial welcome Mc, hope you will b9
satisfied to dwell among us now for
awhile. We will admit you into our
now club if you will send in your ap
plication in doe time. Our next meet
ing will be at 2 sharp, 3 is rrther late
to get through with all the business
we have to contend with. You all
must come aud ba prompt at tbe regu
lar nppointed hour. There is nothiug
like being prompt. Our Society is pro
gressing fi io and is a good thing if
carried out properly, and is known BS
the new club, and all males arc eli
gible who aro duly qualified and pass
the examination before the board of
examiners. Come out boys. We meet
every week oa Saturdays in the after
noon. Our meetings are very interest
ing as well as profitable, you learn a
great deal and can hear some fine dis
cussions. Mr. Norton ant} Mr. Walsh
Wright had tho Moor on the last meet
iug. Wright killed Norton's resolu
tions. Ile passed two to one. We
want to elect new olficers in full. The
obi ones ask to be released for awhile.
The ?quire is still smiling,
i Cousin Linard was in town to-day I
i ?aw him when I passed. He sells the
best medicine I have ever taken, lt is
the subject for the girls might think
I want to get married.
Well, if I haven't had a time haul?
iug guano no poor man did I am
going to come to town aud hire to
cousin Ebbic to weigh up cotton this
fall, I know he is a noble hearted
mau, and will give me the job. I
never weut to him yet but what be al
ways says "certainly, certainly, to be
sure," Now boys you may laughat
me, but you just wait until I come to
town. I know I look pretty rough now
hauling guano, but when I come lo
town 1 expect to wear a standing col?
lar like Wade's.
Our Brightsville citizens before
long will have to post their lands for
white has about killed them all out of
four coveriea. Only 1 bird left and
j he was by the road side and thought
I was White I had my pitchfork on
my shoulder, the bird scared me, and
I scared him, for he thought I was
i white with his gun. I never saw a bird
Hy so fast in all my life. I heard some
loue say that they heard s>me one else
sny, that they beard white say, that
with one hundred and fifty shells ho
has killed two hundred and fifty four
birds. White is a good Bliol, I reckon
tbt best there is now in Brightsville,
outside of Andrew Parham. Ile ia
considered tho best all round shot we
have in our town. He never taila to
hit what he shoots nt, so I have been
told.
Our farmers are going right down
in good earnest about their work. The
Squire says tho finest irish potntoea
he ever made was mada without any
thing as a fertilizer, except oak leaves
That ho filled the furrow with thom
and planted his potatoes, and such n
sight he never saw, of the whitest,
cleanest potatoes. Did not even have
to scrape or wash them-perfect beau
tiful- That ia nearly aa good aa the
same fellow told on Mr. Wiley Norton
about a close calculation he and the
other boys made one night this past
week. On how much they had sold
and thc losses, and ira i na, so thia fel
low that told mc about it said thc
crowd told Mr. Norton to give in bia
day's work. Thia was tho prettiest
day of the week, and the dullest for
business. Well, I will, said Norton.
If every man in thia crowd will tell
how much ho baa made, I will. I
ground one bushel nnd a half of corn
which givea ono gallon and a half of
toll, and half of that '3 Mr. Goodwin's
and the other half is mine. Wade said
I sold one box ol shells to day, profita
one cent and three quartcr8 of a cent,
and half of that is White's; Well, now
Mr. Lovin, well I have done pretty
well; J sold for cash ?50c worth nnd
charged seventy cents worth. Well
/annie, you como last, I sold 20c
worth collected 15c worth and bought
one half gallon of kerosene; I lack
5c of coming out. Don't that beat tho
record lor Brightaville. Well, wo can
account for it. Tho writer has been 80
nice and pretty. Everybody ia btiBy
planting garden seed. I think every
body ?8 enjoying themselves. All are
well so far as I know. Ono of our
prosperous young farmers ia hauling
moro brick than it usually takes to
build a chimney. Rumor says ho is
going to put up two or three on the
same pint, with a lot of pillara in bc
tween them. I don't know wbat'B
going to happen but things are look*,
lng mighty ourious to the back woods
boy, as, he rides Along p.nd views the
many changos that is going on.
I have been running rows now for
two days, and have not bad ranch
time to gather much news. Unelo
Jack has bought a new diso, he says
be only regrets one thing that he had*
n't of bought one when be first start
ed to house keeping. Thinks he could
of saved money, and economy of labor
saving. We all know Uncle Jackson
and know he economizes in every res
pect. He says one maa, can do aa
much with his cutaway as the whole
fix used to with the old fashioned way.
I past him the other day, and said I,
"Turning the old stuff over," "Yes I
Grannie I am."
I think Uncle Jackson loves to see
the soil turn.
Well, I will close. If this does not
reach the waste basket I will sketch
you my next trip through towD, in a
week or two. Success to the Democrat.

ELI THOMAS COVINGTON, eldest son
of Robert and Martha Thomas Covington
was born May !3, 1847, and died Nov
ember 24, 1902. Ho was a llobronite
indeed, having spent tho wholo of bis life
with tho exception of tho timo he was in
tho Confederate army, ia Hebron com
munity. He was brought up on tho (arm
and his boyhood days wore dividod be
tween attending tho neighborhood schools
und laboring as a farm nand. Thus thc
foundation of his successful lifo as a T?r
mer was laid in early life. Ho believed
in raising his homo supplios on his farm
and his well filled larder tent i tied to tho
success of his efforts. Ile took a deep
interest in everything that was for tho
welfare of tho community ia which he
lived. He was a kind neighbor- Tho
night after he died, one of his ncarost
neighbors said to me. ''Eli Covington
was ono of thc best neighbors I ever
know. He possessed thc pure milk of
human kindness, and was always ready to
lend a helping hand to those in need.
Ho believe! in thc bro'herhood of man.
and thc Fatherhood of Cod. In child
hood he consecrated his life to the servies
of God and joined tho Methodist church
and was a consistent member of the same
at tho time of his death; He was also u
K. of P., and member of the Order of
A. F, M. His borachie was almost ideal.
No sacrifice that he could make socmcd
to be too great for those ho loved. He
provided ult his children the benefit of a
college training.
Ile successfully served tho county ono
term as Auditor. H J was married to
Miss Elizabeth Fletcher December 31st,
18GS, who is still living. Five children
were given to them to bless their home,
four sons and one daughter, all of whom
aro living except ono son Ho was out
down in tho strength of manhool, being
sick only a few days before his death.

Mrs Nancy Creech (neo Quick) was the
widow of Lewis Creech, who died during
thc civil war in a northern prison. 1 have
been unable to procure the exact date of
her birth, but from ibo best information
that I can gather, she was about seventy
Dine years old at thc time of her doath,
December G. 1002. She was left a widow
during the war willi six small children
three sons and three daughters, the eld
est not large enough to be of much help
towards thc support of thc family, whilst
the youngest was only a few months old.
Besides sno had very lillie of this world's
goods, but she possessed a determined
mind and cnergotiewill. Her sons are
good citizens, and her daughters arc thc
wives of good men. "Har children riso
up and call her bl -sied." Thoy aro tho
exponents of what can bo done under thc
most advorsc circumstances. She was a
faithful member of thc Methodist church.
She had been siok for a long time and
knew that she would oot recover, but
from lier own testimony she was ready
wben thc summons cune. She was laid
lo rest Sunday December 7. 1902, in the
Hebron cemetery, Kev. D. II. Everett

Mr? BETHE WELCH, wife of Mr. J. W.
Welch and daughter of Mr. Alexander
and Mrs Mary Stanton was born Decem
ber lf>, 1852, and died January 17, 1903.
i She joined tho Presbyterian chinch in
early girlhood, and remained a member
until her (loath. On October 22, 1874,
sho was married to Mr. J. W. Welch,
who is still living. By this marriage iivo
children were boin, nil of whom are dead
except one son. When able aha was al
ways punctual to attend tho services of
thc sanctuary. She took an activo in
terest in missionary work, thc Sunday
school and parsonage aid society and all
other church work, and was a useful
member in whatever capacity placed. She
was a kind neighbor, cspcoially lo those
who were sick or in distrrcss. She her
self had great sorrows and the knew how
tn feel for the bereaved. Uer diseaso was
that ol' cancer, and such dreadful suffer
ing was hers to endure, but Cod was her
belper, she had committed ull into his
keeping, and surrendered herself to an
operation from which she never fully ral
lied. On Monday before sho died she
told her pastor that while she would bo
glad to live for thc sake of her loved ones
yet she would he better off if she wcro to
die, and that she was ready if it was thc
Lord's will to lake her. Tho skill of thc
physicians was of no avail, and 3ho lived
only about two days after the operation
wus performed. Her last conscious hours
were those of mcntul agony, from which
death moroifully reloascd her. She was
buried in Hebron cemetery January 18th,
1903, Rev. A. T. Dunlap conducting thc
funeral service.
A Payincr Experiment.
Mr. Henry Kirkwood brought
us a sample of his potato crop of
1902, five of whioh make a hali
bushol. They are the Norton
Yam crossed with tho Bahama.
They not only make a line eating
potato of largo size, but are very
prolific and the yiuld enormous,
Mr. Kirkwood says for hog food
ono acre will equal five of corn,
with bettor results. Tho keeping
qualities aro fine. Tho farmer who
wanta to raise cheaper pork will
bo pleased with tho experiment.
