"ZEKE" HAS Scrambling Fot Interesting News Notes From the "Big Eastatoe." Bad Mail Facilities-A Roast-A Rail road Project and a Trolley Line Sch-nme. Nimmons, July 7, 1006. Friend Jim: In line with your oth er corresponidents from the rural sections I have Ito births, doaths 01 inarriages to chronicle, neither do I know "what fellow called on whose girl last Sunday,'' and it would hardly ho the proper thing to in forn the pullic that Walter Lang. ston aid George Chrnp'nan, dressed in their storo cloth es, and blushing like school girls, visited inl this section Buiiday, I have no news to relate. I am not out in the sticks for fun or health, but for the purpose of increasing my limited stock of "fil thy lucre" and the same tuie add ing to the appearance ot some of tho improvements on "Big Easta too", for this beautiful valley is keeping pace with the balance of the county and fast getting out of the woods. Farmers are somewhat behind with their Work, but crops are "'bang up' and growing at a tremendous rate and the entire valley bears the "ear marks" of prosperity. Mr. Will Ellenburg has erected a fine roomy house. This is why I am out oil "Big Eastatoe", giving the building its color, from found ation to roof and from cellar to garret. Standing on a hill the house colmonds a magniificient view and ii itself a land mark for many miles around. As this is the first houso on the big Eastatoe ever to receive a coat of paint, I am some what "stuck" on the honor Now don't shake your head, and look doubtful, for it a cold fact, that the past Sunday I attended ''preaching." On the maxim, "bet ter the day, better the deed," the good people thought it their duty to have the church painted and at once set about raising the funds and in an hour's time gave me the * work and I suppose they now con sider it my duty to give them an 'up-to-date' 'three coat job." As some one has said, "show me the churches and the school houses, and I will read the character of the peo ple," the outside world will have a high opinmon of the people in the country surrounding the Eastatoe church. The people of this section are a grateful class, but they are entitled to a big kick against Uncle Sam 's mail facilities. There are two mails per week at thlis office, and as the aha fthe incoming mail, a per. onreceiving a letter on Wednesday cantsend out his answer 'til Sat urday Forfour to six days for mail ttrvlfifteen miles, is not much * credit to our Uncle Sam's boasted rapid transit. This section should have at least a thrice a week mail. but as it stands, a wonderful im provement can be made without; * trouble or expense. The mail from, the county seat Is now carried to Nine Times, an office four miles the main line of travel, where it remains over three days, while the carrier goes on to Sunset daily. By sending this mail on to the Sunset office on the main line of travel to the county seat, people could gath. or up their mail at least once in a soason. Newspapers are too old f< r use ag'*rapping paper when they arrive and we never know whena Sunday comes, only by keeping tab on a stick or watching a preacer on his rounds. It is a shame Sand an injustice to the people. Congressman Alken can win the everlasting good will of these peo * pie by taking this mattnr in hand. This section is very much inter e~sted in the movements of the En gineer corp Surveying a line across WAKED UP. t] "Filthy Lucre." 4 ia the mountains to Soneca, S. 0. p P learn that they are at or near "Dev. a ils Hole" about three miles from t< this place, and have run a very sat. t isfactory Jine to that point. The 0 building of this line means much 8' for this section, and a4Lo to Pickens, ti Easloy and the lower end of the 0e county. Trade and traffic gener. W ally drifts to, and follows the near. b est railroad, and a large amount of si trade from the Eastatoo, Laurel and t Crow Creok sections will be diverted I n from Pickenis and Eabley. This dividing of trade was mo3t P noticeable after building of the " Transylvania road through the g French Broad valley in North Caro- t4 liua. Before the building of that w road almost the entire trade of that d mnouintain section crossoa the moun. c tains to Greenville, S. 0. In those it days Greenville merchants were b heavy users of space in the moun-. 9 tain newspapers. Today ynu could kc not give space in a mountain paler to a merchant in that city, the , trade having followed the line of 0 roa.1 to Asheville, liendersonville at and other points. Naturally a portion of this business will come back over the mountains, on com pletion ot this road, and it seems that the road instead of being de. trinmeutal to the business interests could be made to work to the ad. 09 vantage of the towns of Pickens 0 and Easley by running a' trolley a from Pickens to a point on the line, 'I Trolley lines are civilizers and b builders of the rural districts, giv- tI iug the farmer quick transit to and from town, with all the advantage of churches and schools, while the toiler in the towns goes in the b country along the line of the trolley r( to make his horne. And what lots n of pretty places they could find along the line between Pickens and ' the mountains.

In their good qualities and faults they rather i resemble the proud noblemen of Po land. They are vivacious,, honest, hos pitable'and full of pride, braver and chivalry, on which one nuvy a ways count. But their defects. are grave. Obstinacy and quarrels lead them of ten to bloody lights, the ick of thrift is frequent among them and dupersti tions haunt theimi at every step. They love nature and in their hofigs praise their gigantle peaks, spruce forests and the clouds and rali. 'They-tihld their houses faelng Tatra, which they constantly observe and coniisult about weather conditions. A gooral cannot live without his iouitalis, and if ho sometimes leaves theni homesickness will soon bring him back. They are very religotis, but their - Christian faith Is lixed -with old n perstitions, and the Ioz0 an Catholic rites are mingled with velrd, often very picturesque, usages which have their origin in the old Slavonic pagan Ism.

This is called swiocone. The table remains covered with food for a week to await all friends of the house that may come. The Polish tongue among the moun taincers has pleasant, soft inflections. and their dialect resembles the old Po lish of the fifteenth or sixteenth cen tury. The picturesquo and practical costume of the goorals consists of a coarse linen shirt fastened with a brass brooch; a serdak, which is a sleeveless sheepskin jacket of a reddish color, richly decorated with applique orna ments of colored leather and silk em broidery and lined with fur; tight fit thig trousers of coarse, whitish, home made woolen cloth, and a cloak called tsuha, wo'n usually over one shoulder.

Po-rn-na Brought Health and Happiness. Miss Nellie South, late of Manchester, Eng., writes from 86 Prince Arthur St., Montreal, Can., as follows: " Peruna has made a wonderful change in my life. It has brought me health and happiness. "Since my soventeenth year I havo had female complaint and irregularitics, My general health suff ered, I had pains in my back and lower limbs, my eyes were dim, and I became moroso and un reasonable. "Mother sought chs advice of our family physician, who proscribed for me, but I grew no better. "I then read of Peruna and procured a bottle. That one bottle was worth more than all the doctor's medicine J had taken previously. "I cannot express my gratitude. Po runa has been a great blessing to mo." Nellie South. Miss Edna Moore, 46 Elm street, Buf falo, N. Y., Secretary E'st End Litorary Association, writes: "I was a great sufferer from systemit eatarrh, was extremely nervous, couk not sloop, fainted easily, was very irrita blo, had a confusion of tho senses, an( got up in the morning feeling more tire< than when I wont to bed. "I was very wretched, but upon tak lag Peruna I began to improve, an after using the medicine tour months I felt like a new woman and was com pletely cured. "-Edna Moore.
