HUCC’E^SKUL FARMING.
The farmers of r,o county in the
State know their business better or
know better bow to tak- 1 care of
themselves generally, than do the
farmers of Cherokee county and
newspaper suggestions here, as in
other counties, and often properly,
fall fiat before them. We, however,
think that a few from us will not be
considered impertinent for we will
not suggest a inode of planting or
culture. We know they all know
how to do that much berter than we
do. But there are a few things
about farthing that we do know. We
know the farmers who have made
provision crops their principal crop,
and who have made their own sup
plies of corn, wheat, oats, long for-
Bg ,J and meat at home, arid then
made as much cotton as they could
are the tanner* who ere ahead of
the game in farming. We kn >w they
are the farmers who pay cash for
their purchases, who own cotton
mill and bank stock and who have
money to loan less prudent brothers.
With the above facts before us,
will it not be well this year for all of
our farmers to adopt the provision
idea of farming which has been
worked so successfully by others and
quit buying food stuff, the products
of other farms, which are no better
suited to their production than are
their own.
Cherokee lands make average crops
of all the cerials, grasses and root
crops and our fioe climate and fertile
soil combine to make our county an
ideal one for stock raising. With
these local advantages and the plans
and prudent methods of our provis
ion makers adopted, Cherokee will
bloom like a rose, and peace, plenty
and happiness will dwell in all our
homes, aod fat lambs and cattle will
roam our hills. Beside*, our childr* n
will have the social and intellectual
advantages incident to happy and
unstinted homes

WOMEN AND SOCIETY.
A community proapers in things
material in proportion to the workers
that abide in it. People wbo do noth
ing are worth notning to themselves,
their family or their community. It
were better to not exist than «o be a
drone. Bo get bu*y, and then you
will be worth something.

The first thing to be thought of m
making your spring and summer out
fit, is to have your garments cling to
the figure. You must look as slim as
possible about the hips and as far
down as the knees, where your
skirt may begin to Hare. Skirts
must lay on the ground one inch in
front, three on the sides and six on
the back. The only exceptions to this
rule are the business and acting
skirts, which must be short all
around. Shoulders must be broad
and drooping.
Paris says that, all, or at least many,
of the spring aod summer gowns will
be made with sashes instead of belts,
and accordingly ribbons are shown in
sash width
Thort sleeves are bringing in a re
vival of mitts.

THE FIFTH REGIMENT.
Roll of Company Formed at “Gaffoev’s
Old Field” to Fight for Their Coaotry.
Gaffney, 8. C., March 25, 1902.
Mr. Ed. H. DeCamp:
Sir :—I notice In your paper you
have given space lo the names of
some of the companies who volnnteerd
and served in the Confederate service
from within the bounds of Cherokee
county. It has pot me to ruminat
ing and scratching my head to com
municate, and I have thought it
might interest some of the living
veterans and the children and grand
children of those wbo lost their lives
in the Confederate service, to know
something about Co. I. 5tb Regt. 6.
C. V.
This company was organized at
Gaffney’s old field on 7(h day of July,
1861, and was presented with a fine
silken banner with the Palmetto tree
and other suitable emblems upon it.
On receiving the flag, each member
pledged his sacred honor to defend
it and to defend the fair donors,
which pledge was carried out to the
letter. Said banner, after we went
into service in Virginia, was adopted
as the regimental flag and was curried
till the regiment could see the spires
of the buildings in Washington city,
and was used as a battle flag until
the stars were adopted as our guidon,
and it was unfurled in sight of the
enemy und was never trailed in the
dust of humiliation or dishonor.
Though we Joe*, our cause, we have
never been convinced that we were
fighting for an unjust cause. The
following is a list of ttye company at
first and those who joined later:

Mias Annie Turner, the only child
of Mr. Sam B. Turner, died at the
home of her father in this city Wed
nesday night at 11 o’clock io the fif
teenth year of her age. She bad been
sick several months and was carried
to her father’s farm in North Caro
lina, hoping that she would improve;
but she failed to do so and was
brought to her borne in the city a
abort time ago and continued to grow
worse uutil tbe end came and relieved
her of Buffering.
Annie was a most exemplary child
and was tbe idol of her home, but tbe
fell destroyer came and claimed her
as a victim. This was a severe blow
to Mr. aod Mra. Turner who, we
trust, wil) be comforted
Tbe remains were carried to Pat

buried io the family lot. beside loved

KICK A DOG
Kick a dog and he bites you.
He bites you and you kick him.
The more vou kick the more
he bites and the more he bites
die more you kick. Each
TLikes the other worse.
A thin body makes thin
blood. Thin blood makes a
thin body. Each makes the
other worse. If there is going,
to be a change the help must
come from outside.
Scott’s Emulsion is the right
help. It breaks up such a
combination. First it sets the
-tomach right. Then it en
riches the blood. That j
strengthens the body and it ;
begii.s to grow new flesh.
A strong body makes rich
blood and rich blood makes a
rong body. Each makes the
other better. This is the way
Scott’s Emulsion puts the thin
body on its feet. Now it can
get along by itself. No need
of medicine.
This picture represents
the Trade Murk of Scott’s
Emulsion and is on the
wrapper of every bottle.

We believe thoroughly in
advertising. To prove it
we axe going to use this
space for our own pur
poses. We have advertis
ing space to sell, aud we
know it will pay a good
return upon the price we
charge for it if it is prop
erly used. Our paper goes
into the best homes in this
community. It has been
going week after week and
year after year until each
issue is welcomed as an old
friend of the family.
The news it brings is
news of neighbors, of per
sonal affairs in which all
have more or less of a com
mon interest. If one of our
readers called upon you, a
merchant, you would do
the best you could to con
vince him that what you
had for sale was the best
he could buy. You would
show him the new things
you had got in recently.
You would tell him why
he should have them and
why they were better than
he could procure elsewhere.
You probably would make
a sale.
Your effort, however, would be con
fined to one person.
