A Song of
Christmas
TWINE the bittersweet and holly
Arched above tho hearthstone's
glow.
Joy, not melancholy,
Come, tndrifting with tho snow.
In each face the frost's u-tlnglo,
And afar on dying wing
Comes the slplghbeil's rhythmic Jingle
Through December Journeying.
Set the board and ask tho blessing
For tho bounty amply spread.
In tho simplest words expressing
What a loving Father said?
"Pence on earth"?for this Is nearest
When tho. snows with us ubldo
And tho winter air is clearest
In the hush of Christmastlde.

Ills REINDEER STEEDS AI1E PRANOINQ.
Bring tho ?>I<1 musician's fiddle,
Itillc of tin? bygone dnya.
Bund ihe fairest down tho middle
While the lilting music swuys.
ldght of foot and quick of laughter,
Swing the dancers,' too and heel,
As they pass or follow after
in the quaint Virginia rool.
Make a welcome for (ho stranger
Should Ills footstep cross the door,
liy the memory of the manger
And the Christ that was of yoro
Gather children's faces round you,
As he gathered them iotig syne,
7f It be ihe years have crowned you
With their radiance divine.
Deck the tree and light the candles,
Let the stockings all be hung,
For a saint with furry sandals
O'er tho housetops high lias swung,
And ills reindeer steeds are prancing
Through tho star bespangled rime,
And the moonbeams pale are glancing
In tho merry Christinas time.
? Ernest McGaffey.
Croup and Cough Remedy.
Croup is a terrible disease, it attacks
chi'dren so suddenly they are
very apt to choke unless given the
proper remedy at once. There is
nothing better in the world than Dr.
Kind's Nov Discovery. Lewis Cham
berlain of Manchester, Ohio, writes
about his children: "Sometimes in
severe attacks we wore afraid they
would die, but since wepvoved what
a certain remedy Dr. King's New
Discovery is, we have no fear. We
rely on it for croup, coughs and
colds." Sov.anyou. 50e and $1X0

The Victim of Will Honey Bellamy
Died on the Following Day After
the Shooting, and the Coroner
Holds an Inquest on Thursday Over!
the Remains,
The trouble &t Little River last
week in which Will Boney Bellamy,
a ne^ro, shct Sam Rabit Bellamy,
another ne^ro, resulted in the death
of Sam Rabit Bellamy on the following
day, and in the arrest of
Will Boney by the sheriff and his
incarceration in the county j til to
await trial on a charge of homicide.
The trouble aroso between the
two colored icon over family affairs
j Will Boney Bellamy had a ^un and
j during the ar^umeLt he shot tao
other twice in the le^s. Oje of the
shots strayed upward and hit him in
a vital part causing his death. Toe

when this was attempt d, and he |
shot at his pursuers, and Lonie
Grantham who was in ths chase received
gun shot wounds in many
places in his body, though his ca^e
is not reported as serious. Joej
Causey who was also with the atlacking
party shot Will Lioney Bel
lauiv and inflicting slight wounds
from which the prisoner is now suffering
in j iil.
Reports from Littlo River on last
Tuesday wore to the cIVect that t iu
defendant defied arrest and could
not be taken. SherilT J. A. Lewis
communicated with him through his
brother aud the defendant met the
sheriff at his mother's house and
surrendered.
When the defendant was arrested
and brought to j ail on Wednesday,
the man he had shot was still living.
But he died the next morning and
i upon receiving a message to that
effect the coroner wont and held the
linqoert, the jury rt turning a verdict
to the clTott that the deceased

A Letter to Santa CLiuh.
Dear Santa Glaus: ?
Toe country children in South

The llural School Supervisor has
a special i\ (post t? rnu?<e of you. ^
When you are making up 3 our gifts
for the b<?ys and girls of the Palme
t 1 State do not forget some,
good reading suitable to llie chil
dren. The country children in our
State have 1 itlie access to libraries,
and many of them have in thoir
homes few books which they can
read. We should especially like to
have you bring thorn a good paper
suited to the boyf and girls. The
writer formed his reading habits
through reading the Youths Companion
which came to him weekly as
a Christmas present when he was a
a boy. Please send many of our
boys and girls in South Carolina a
subscript on to this or some othei
paper which will be a weekly reminder
of your love for the children
If you wiil do this, we will promise
you brighter and belter boys'
and girls next year.
