Happenings and Movements of People in Lower Cherokee. fCorresnonilpnc«> of The Ledger.> Etta Jane, Feb. 2ft.—Rumor has it that Mr. Robert Smarr has smallpox. A Lodger patron advises us to turn our correspondence to fighting whis- | key, and cultivating a spirit in favor of prohibition, and not allowing it to ! be sold in any form, or by anyone— j dispensaries or otherwise. If we had the power we assure our j readers we would wipe this evil from I the face of the earth at one stroke. But around the fireside, in the home and at the family altar are the places to fight this battle. Whiskey can never be put down until these agencies join forces and go to work to accomplish this desired result. Until then King Alcohol will reign as he is doing and has done. Miss Mary Cowley, an elderly maid en lady who has been living with Mr. and Mrs. H. B. McDaniel, of Hickory Grove, for some time, is quite sick. Last Thursday morning the boys caught a r other fox. They ran it about three hours. Sheriff Thomas came down Wednesday and joined them in a hunt. The rain last Thursday night was no surprise to those who watch the motion of the heavenly bodies. Jupiter and Mars in conjunction with the moon usually bring about a sudden change of weather. Those who say the moon and stars have no influnce on ter restrial affairs have certainly never read the first chapter of Genesis. We are by no means authority on such phenomena and don’t set ourself up as such. Messrs. Brown and Darby, of Ches ter county, who have been up here fox hunting for a few days, returned home Thursday last. The Wilkinsville oil mill is running night and day. “Sketches by the Wayside,” by W. C. Hofley, is a book everybody ought to read. Both old and young will find it entertaining as well as instructive. A person is known as much by the books he reads as the company he keeps. The colored people had a “festible” at Lewis Smarr’s on the York side of the river Thursday night,and we are told they made the night hideous with their noise. Farmers are hauling their guano now. The fall in the price of cotton has somewhat cooled the cotton plant ing fever. They begin to see that ICc j cotton now is no guarantee it will be 1 over 8c next November. We are told ! experience keeps a dear school but fools will learn in no other—some won’t ever learn then. Let every Confederate veteran in the county enroll his name and pay his dues before the first of April. Adju tant Genl. Mickle wants to make out his report before the next meeting of the U. C. Veterans. The fees are Ificts. to the National Confederation of U. C. Veterans and 5 cts. to the State Divis- i ion, making a total of 15 cts. This year so far has been unusually i fatal with old people. Many have 1 died since the year began. Mr. It. J. Kirby thinks he has blood ! poison. Miss Mattie Estes is quite unwell ' at this writing. That The Ledger is a good adver- ! tising medium is proved by our jocose Danger in Cold Weather. There is danger in cold weather be cause it produces conditions favorable to the development of those germ diseases known as Lagrippe, Pneumo nia, Bronchitis, Consumption, etc. These diseases are contracted while the mucous membrane of the throat and lungs is weakened by inflammation resulting from a cold. It is dangerous to neglect even a slight cold. Help nature ward off disease by using Ry- dales Elixir. This modern scientific remedy can always be relied on in all diseased conditions of the throat and lungs. Gaffney Drug Co. I Neglect That cold of yours, the next step is La- Grippe which is very annoying, to say the least; the next step is Pneumonia and that is extremely dangerous. Better drop in while the cold is light and let us advise you how to cure it. S.B.
