Crossroads. July 14.—Who makes
the best wife? Not a weak, forceless,
stupid, uneducated, giddy creature!
The best wife has certain traits and
characteristics which any man should
look for before putting his foot in
any entangling alliance. Failing to
find, lie should pause and not go a
single step farther. One of these
traits is industry. By industry, I
do not merely mean laboriousness,
merely labor or activity of body for
purposes of gain or of saving, for
there may be industry among those
who have' more money than they
know what to do with, and there may
be lazy girls as well as lazy boys.
There is no state of life in which in
dustry in a woman is not necessary
to furnish happiness and prosperity
to a man and to the country.
But who is to tell the half crazed
and half bewildered lover, who has
been flattered by the tongue and
charmed by the beauty and affections
of a lazy woman? They shall all
have to be their own judges.
The farmers of this community
thought they were done laying by,
but the rain for the past week lias
set the grass to growing so rapidly
that they all will have to plough
their cotton and young corn again.
Cotton is as large now as it generally
gets. The industrious farmers are
hauling wood to your city. They
don’t stop for the wet weather.
The Fairview and Mineral Springs
base ball teams played a funny game
of ball last Saturday evening at W.
Sr Smith’s. The Mineral Springs
played nine innings anti the Fairview
eight, and the game stood 28 to 14 in
favor of Fairview.
“S” attended a wedding at Wil
liam Gardner’s lust Sunday. The
contracting parties were Joshua way
Cox, of Spartanburg, and Miss Rox-
nnna Gardner, of Macedonia. Rev.
R. J. Tate officiated. A great many
witnesses were present, but the best
of all was a long table covered with
the very best of something good to
eat.
J. J.C. Ezell (candidate for county
school commissioner) was among the
throng at Macedonia Sunday.
Mrs. N. M. Wood spent a few days
last week with her son, T. C. Wood,
at Grassy Pond.
Mr. and Mrs. Stacy visited Mr.
Barney Huskey and family Saturday
night and Sunday.
It rained too hard last Monday for
“S” to get his letter to The Ledger
office for publication. s.
Your Boy Won’t Liv a Month.
So Mr. Gilman Brown, of 31 Mill
St.. South Garden, Mas?., was told
by the doctors. His son had Lung
trouble, following Typhoid Malaria,
and he spent three hundred and
seventy-five dollars with doctors who,
finally gave him up, saying: “Your
boy won’t live a month.” lie tried
Dr. King’s New Discovery and a few
bottles restored him to health and
enabled him to go to work a perfectly
well man. He says he owes his
present good health to the use of Dr.
King’s New Discovery, and knows it
to he the world for Lung trouble.

(Correspondence of The Ledger.)
Cherokee Falls, July 10.—There
is no sickness here at this time.
Everything is lively and on a* boom.
It is thought that night work will
stop here, at least for awhile, as the
spinning and carding is ahead.
Mr. and Mrs. Doc Gorden had the
misfortune of losing their twin in
fants, which were buried the 7th of
this month, both in one coffin.
From the report we can gather,
the freshet of the last few days has
done considerable damage to I he
growing crops from this place to the
Southern Railroad. It is reported
that the corn on Buffalo is badly
damaged. It is also reported that
the corn on Kings creek and Clarks
Fork is badly damaged.
There is a good deal of fever in the
neighborhood of Clover and York.
There has been a number of deaths
in the past month over there.
Mr. Henry Watson died
broken leg the 28th of last
near Clover. Bulo Propts
fever about the same time and was
buried at Bethany church, in the up
per edge of this county.
Derry Barber, a negro who lived in
tics county near Bethany, died some
time ago. Aged 90 years. He is said
to have been the oldest resident in
York county.
We have a good Sunday school
here. We have a good many scholars
and still we have some new ones at
every meeting.
The corn and cotton on the high
lands is in a fine growing state and
promises a good yield. If the seasons
hold out there will he plenty of corn
made in the country yet. I think
there must be some watermelons
left by the freshet yet, for I saw
three men come by our house today
with three large melons.
Mr. Allen, of this place, killed a
good fat hog the other day and he is
enjoying pork and roasting-car soup
to its fullest extent, lie is living nine
days in a week now. He is a liberal
man and did not forget to divide with
his neighbors. n. a. m.
