Notes from Grassy Poad. (Correspondence of The Dodger.) Grassy Pond, Dec. 37.—Christmas has come and gone, it passed oil very quietly in this neighborhood. There was a very large crowd at Grassy Pond church last third Sun day at the Baptist Rally. It was the close of Rev. R. J. Tate’s pastor ship to that church. He preached the most noble sermon that has been preached at that church for some time. There were plenty of full bas kets on the grounds at dinner. After preaching Prof. R. C. Sarratt gave the Sunday School a lecture. It was the grandest Sunday School talk the Grassy Pond people ever heard. Mr. Sarratt is an able and willing talker. Mr. L. E. Wood’s infant babe be came sick Thursday afternoon about four o’clock and died Friday after noon at four. It was buried at Grassy Pond church on Saturday afternoon. The parents hate to give up their child, hut it has only paid the debt we all owe. It was a bud on earth to bloom in Heaven. The family have the sympathy of all the people that know them. K. o. n.

WEDDING AT RAVENNA. Mr. J. M. Lipscomb and Miss Lula Brown Plight Troth. Ravenna, S. C., Dee. 37.—K. M. Green, of Union, visited his father last Friday and Saturday and during the two days killed, if 1 am not mis taken, lifty-two birds and several rabbits. He reported all quiet in Union up to the time of his leaving. Mrs. C. E. Kitchens spent several days in Union last week visiting her soi , R. 1). Kitchens whose wife, Della, lias been very ill, hut was much Let ter when last heard from. Rev. E. Ammons, of Texas, who is in this country visiting relatives, at tended the Ravenna Sunday School last Sunday and interested the Ad vanced Quarterly class in reviewing the lessons the past quarter, em phasizing the fact that Christians should be belter and do more for the Lord each succeeding year, or in other words our Christum life should he a constant growth. He made also a short and pointed address to all present after the close of the lessons. This was attentively listened to. It is believed that some of the young ladies would be delighted to hear Mr. Ammons occasionally. I am glad to say 1 have seen very little drunkeness sojfur during Christ mas everything around here lias been quiet and peaceful. Your regular Ravenna corres pondent A. B. C., is visiting rela tives in the tow., of her birth, Gas tonia, N. C. Mr. George E. Brown, who is with Hill it Morgan of Spartanburg, is at home spending a few days with friends. Miss Laura Pettit, who is teaching near Providence, is also at home with friends of which she has a host. MissYirgie Littlejohn a charming Ravenna girl is pleasantly spending the week at Clifton and Cowpens. Some of the boys here fear she may take a notion to invest in a Dentist outlit or in Railroad securities during her visit. I am glad to say that I united in the holy bonds of wedlock u nice young couple at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Brown last Sunday at 12 o’clock. The parties were Mr. J. M. Lipscomb aun of Mr. Edward Lipscomb, Sr , and Miss Lula Brown, Jack, as he is familiarly called, is a member of Goucher Creek church and a young man full of vim, who knows how to work aud is not afraid to work. If energy and pluck counts for any thing he is bound to succeed in life. The young lady he is so fortunate in possessing is also a member of Goucher Creek and the efficient or ganist of that church. By accident there were a few par ties there besides the family. After the marriage we were all invited to dinner and such a table—loaded with good things. Everything suita ble to tempt the appetite wis there and it was served with tact and grace by Misses Addie and Ella. Mr. and Mrs. Brown did everything they could to render their guests happy. The child of Mr. John Smith, of Goucher, I am glad to learn, Is much better. At one time it was thought it could not live. Most of our young men are now engaged in hunting and the tales to be unfolded during Christmas and after as to how many “would astonish the natives.” And this reminds me of a coon hunt, a friend of mine and I engaged in a number of years ago in Chester. We were out on Turkey Creek from mid-night to nine o’clock the next day; and while our dogs got up a considerable amount of fuss and “treed” several times—mostly big trees tliak brought perspiration to fell —not a coon did we get, but John—not I if you please—told the n ixt day all around that we hauled in ten coons and opossums to throw away.

(Correspondence of The Ledger.) London, Ark., Dec. IS.—Pope county, the county 1 write from, is one of the richest counties of Arkan sas. The Southern portion is a line farming country and lies along the Northern banks of the Arkansas river, which is one mile wide here and is spanned hy the longest Pon toon bridge in the world. There are invaluable forests of pine, hickory, walnut, maple, cottonwood and cedar in this county, while there are tine deposits of anthracite coal, lead, natural gas and petroleum. The Northern part of Pope is table land and devoted almost exclusively to vineyards and orchards. Pope county apples took first prize at the Colum bian Exposition and a box is annually shipped to the Czar of Russia hy a citizen of Pope. There are mountains in this county so high that we can almost converse with our Democratic friends who have joined the saints, and canons so deep that we almost hand ice to the carpet bag regime who have gone to that place which in poetic parlance we call hades. Captain Win. Peeler, an old South Carolinian now, owns a big dry goods establishment in Russellville. S. A. Henry has past closed his last term as sherilf of this county. Prof. E. L. Hamilton, of South Carolina, is now Principal of Russell ville High School. Prof. W. A. Crosby is in the race for Journal clerk in the Legislature. T. F. Crosby will conduct a winter school. Pope county now has two big rol ler mills, and the farmers are be ginning to plant more wheat than they formerly did. The mountainous part of our county is invested by one of the most dangerous gangs of wiId-cat ters that any state ever had to deal with. There is practically no law there and peaceful citizens are shot down al most daily. t. f. c. —- - - - IN Kidney Complexion. The pale, sallow, sunken-cheeked, distressed looking people you so often meet are afflicted with “Kidney Com plexion.” Their kidneys are turning to a parsnip color. So is their complex ion. They may have indigestion, or suffer from sleeplessness, rheuma tism, neuralgia, bruin trouble, ner- veous exhaustion and sometimes the heart acts badly. The cause is weak, unhealthy kid neys. Usually the sufferer from kidney dis ease docs not lind what the trouble is until it is almost too late, because the first symptons are so like mild sickness that they do not think they need a medicine or a doctor until they find themselves sick in bed. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root will- build up and strengthen their weak and diseased kidneys, purify their diseased kidney-poisoned blood, clear their complexion and soon they will enjoy better health. You can get the regular sizes at the drug store, at iifty cents and one dollar, or you may first prove for yourself the wonderful virtues of this great discovery, Swamp-Root, by sending your address to l)r. Kilmer i( Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a sam ple bottle and a hook that tells all about it, both sent to you absolutely free by mail. When writing kindly mention that you read this liberal offer in The Ledger. Deadly Cancer Cured at Last!
