RUMINATIONS OF B" Old Mill At Cateechee las Busy Christmas The year 1921 has passed and gone but the deeds committed in that yeai have left their influence either for good or for bad and sooner or later we will have to face them agaip. I: they have been for good it will mear stars ,in our crown and if they have been bad it means damnation to om souls. Christmas passed off in this sectior without any accidents or 'anything to mar its pleasure. About the biggest trouble we heard of was Magistrate L. L. Leopard of Cateechee captured the boys "pot" near Cateechee on Fri day before Christmas, poured out sev eral barrels of beer which would have been turned into joy juice that night as those who saw the beer say its tern perature was just right to start on its round Friday night though a little round thing the "stiller" calls a worm and by Saturday morning it would have been finding its way down the throats of its thirsty lovers, its effects would have sobn reached a spot not over charged with brains and from here it- would hve taken a circuitous route to a hip pocket which no doubt contained a "pop gun," the 2x4 fool would imagine he had been mistreat ed, the little gun would be drawn and some poor soul would soon find its way' to another world. Magistrate Leopard, you may have caused a dull Christmas for some, but in the long run we believe you did the best deed of your life and when those who now blame you cone to make peace with their God they will thank you. Well, the little matrimonial mill did a pretty good business during Christ mas considering low price cotton, back debts, the boll. weevil and other ob stacles. On Saturday, the 24th, about 2:2( p. in., Mr. W. M. Entriken and Mis: Ressie Agnes Gillespie were made one flesh and blood by the old miller. Th: groom is the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Entriken of Norris anm is a promising young farmer, whil his bride is a daughter of Mr. aid Mrs Dock Gillespie and a charming bride On Sunday, the 25th about 11 a. n Mr. W. F. Stephens and Mrs. Ella Palmer of the Pleasant Hill section applied at the little mill for permis sion to turn two houses in to one aid raise two sets of children together, as it is just about as easy to cook foi eleven children as four or to buy shoes for eleven as seven, provided some of the children are large enough to help The old miller soon agreed as th< prospective bride and groom had tried married life before they were old enough not to make children trades and if it was their wish to turn twc houses into one it certainly was the old millers pleasure to help. The groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Marior IStephens of Six Mile and the bride iE a daughter of Mr. and Mr's. Elrod of the Pleasant Hill section. On Sunday, the 25th, about 3i p. m, Mr. Lawrence Kelly and Miss Ruth Vicker~y of the Pleasant Hill section appear'edl at the little imill and made application for their luck in the wvorld together. As the groom is a finm sp~ecimen of humanity and is making his mark as a promising young farm= o r and the intended bride a charming and captivating young lady who has been wvell trained and well edlucates to take care of the hard earnings of : better half, the 01(d miller readily agreed they had a justified cause te Imake this pleasant and no doubt profi table adventure and1 so now it is Mr' and Mrs. Kelly at home to their miany friends. The groom is a sonl of Mr and Mr's. Willis Kelly and a brothe: Iof Rev. R. W. Kelly of Central. T "he bride is a daughter of Mr. am Mrs. Joe Vickery :of Central. Mr. D. C, Aiken of Cateechee 1: some heg raiser as well as a gooc farmer, He killed a two year old 0 I. C. and Poland China hog a fv 1days ago -that weIghed 699 pound: after it had .been cut up. lie alst Ikilled about 600 lbs. of meat beside: this fine porker'. He made somethinh over 800 lbs. of. seed cotton to th( acre on his cotton crop this year' Mr' Aiken has made over $5000.0( far iing in ten years and one yeair o tha had the misfortune of getting hi: leg roken and never wvorked a lick On I r'iday and Saturday before Christ mas he.sold( 70 laying hens at hi: Ihomn to his neighbors and had 20 left Bo unto Prof. and Mrs. Marvi, I awrerige of Norris on the 15th ult, a fine aaughter'. Of course th'e Prof expects to make a teacher out of th: young' lady. Mrs. James A. Whiten and children of Norris spent Christmas with the former's parents at Salem. Jim why " di you look so .sad ? she left plenty cooked and a well of water right close. Well,. the old miller believes he would pull the scales down a few ounces more now than he would before Christmas as he had two good dinners right recently, one Christmas eve and one the last day of the old year. Special . Notice--Neither one was taken at home. Wishing both the big * editor and the little editor, the editor's own. family, his official family and all his readers a prosperous and a happy New Year, we will ring off before we are put off.

Today as perhaps never before in >ur history, the American farmer is troused, determined, militant, class onscious. For a generation he has elt-and has felt with growing con iction and resentment-that he is lot getting a square deal from gov rnment or from other classes of so iety. Year by year the farmer has been acrificing a part of his captial, his cal estate, in order to stay in busi- I ens. Forty years ago-in 1880 mnly one in four of our American armers were tenants; by 1920 prac ically two in five ha'd become ten nts! Nevertheless the farmer has ones his way, feeding and clothing he world withodt striking or spec acular protest. lie is slow to anger he cautious by nature. The burdens of deflation, howveve~r,I hose last twvelve months have proved i the straw that broke the camel's I ack"-of the farmer's piatience. He vas perfectly willing to be "deflated" f other classes took the same medi ine--nd~ as much of it as he dlid. But< he disaster hit the farmer with a< oree andl ruinousness out of all pro ortion to the injury dlone to society s a whole. Other classes lost their "profits" or a season .
