Mr and Mrs. J. N. Strain had a
daiiphter to join their family circle
last Wednesday aiKht. It weighed
thirteen pounds.
Last Wednesday evening the

Mr. Jim Good, ol the Bullocks
creek section, moved to Gaffney last
Tnesday. While crossing the river
M». Will Sraarr, who was hauling a
;<mm1 for them, accidently fell into the
river and got wet to the waist. How
ever, he went on with his wagon
wearing his wet clothes, it would be
a difficult matter to find another man
who would do the same thing except
Mr. J. S. Garner who cares as little
for cold water and wet clothes as a
imid turtle.
Mr. Sam Strain has had uis buggy
rigged up for winter use in carrying
the mail.
iWV agree with our Clifton corres-
liosdent "8” that the Ravenna corres

getting up “personals.” If he Is a
widower we presume he knows how
to get a wife if he wants one and
that, we suppose, goes without ques-
tiOBing.
Messrs. James and Ed. Robbins of
the Cowpens section, came down on
Wednesday hunting a lot of pigs for
the local mark t. They went to sec
Mr. W. R. Wilkins’ stock of hogs. Mr.
Walker sells his pigs at fancy prices,
but they are much cheaper in the end
than "scrub” stock at almost any
price.
We again call the attention of those
interested in (he graveyard at Salem
to the need of a coat of paint on me
fencing. It lias been neglected too
long for the good of the material of
which it is made and it costs too
much to be neglected any longer.
The best way to do an / kind of work
is to get ready to begin it.
’We hear of no cases of sickness in
this community beyond those already
reported.
in four weeks from today the monu-
raeai to the Union county Confeder
ate soldiers will he begun in the city |
of Union and it is hoped that as many
ol the survivors as can will attend
Ike initial ceremonies. Can’t Camp
JeBeries U. C. V. send a large de.ega-
tioa? It will also he the 100th anni
versary of the birth of General R. K.
Ijee, and, barring any providential
hindrances, the occasion will be a de
lightful one to all the old soldiers,
their chidren and grandchildren.
Mgs. J. L. S. is spending a few days
with the family of her son, Mr. J. N.
Strain.
Cutting wood, making fires and sit
ting by them is about the work fol
lowed bv the country people now-a
day*.
Mr, Elbert Dagnall, of Hickory
Grove, ki.led the mammoth hog one
da/ this weel:-. Its hams weighed ‘JG
pounds; its head and jowl 17 pounds.
It measured five feet round and six
feet from' the point of its nose to the
root of its tail. Henry McDaniel did
th« weighing and measuring and it
won’t do to dispute his word. Mrs.
Dagnall thinks she will get fifteen
nUlons of lard from it.
We are told that Rev. J. L. < ates,
(*! Hickory Grove, has a hog that is
considerably larger still than Mr.
Dagnall s hog.
Yesterday was the shortest day in
the year, (he winter solstice begins to

By the time this appears in print
Christmas will be here and people
will he spending it according to their
several inclinations.
This c oses our work for this year.
In taking a retrospective view of our
work with the Ledger this year we
find manv failures and shortcomings
ob our part which might have been
prevented had we been more careful
and diligent. It is human to err, but
divine to forgive and we consign our
labors to the generous criticism of an
intelligent reading public and hope

forgive anything we have said or

said or done anything to keep anyone

With charity to a 1 and malice to

Aunt Elizabeth was loved by all
I who knew her and was a devoted
! wife, ii tender and kind mother. She
- had been a member of Skull Shoals
Baptist church for many years.
She has made more teas and noul-
I (Ices for the sick than any other wo-
| man in Cherokee county. She has
done many things for the poor. God
has comforted her for the good she
has done. She leaves a heartbroken
)Misban(i\ one dau;|'iter. Mrs. John
H. Wilkins, and three sons, Mason,
Wade and Harao Pridmore.
Her remains were laid to .rest in
the cemetery at Mesopotama church
which is about two hundred yards
from her home. Many friends gather
ed at her home bringing beautiful
tlora] tributes, and followed the re
mains to the hurrying eround.
Aunt Elizabeth dead? No, only
sleening awaiting the resurrection
morning when she shall triumphantly
come forth clothed in a beautiful
robe, with a new song in her mouth
praising Him who took away the
victory of the grave, and who abolish
ed th“ sting of death and substituted
therefore, a beautiful stony crown
of everlasting life.
Sleep on loved one, until the resur
rection morning then by God’s help,
we shall greet thee nev< r more to

Bad Money Gets a Man in Trouble in
Asheville.
Asheville, N. Dec. 21.—Charged
with passing counterfeit money in
dollars and halves. James W. Muse.
a ,r ed 20 years, was yesterdav bound
over to the May term of the Federal
Court, by United States Commission
er McCall under a bond of $1,000.
Muse stutly dt nied his guilt hut sev
eral witnesses testified that they had
received the had money from him,
and even though the officials b lieved
there was a possibility that he did not
know what the money was not genu
ine. Commissioner McCall thought
it advisable to have the case investi
gated further.
Muse was arrested Friday night by
George Foster, of the Uniteu States
secret service, after several of the
po ice officers had worked up the
case. He was held without bail un
til yesterday when he was taken be
fore the commissioners court for
trial.
The man was arrested after the offi
eers had been told that he had pass
ed several worthless half-dollars and
dollars, in silver, on persons in the
neighborhood of the passenger de
pot. One of the dollars and two ha.f-
dolP’-s were recovered-
The money which is said to have
been passed by Muse is cleverly
made, and would deceive almost any
one who might not he on the look
out for counterfeit. Muse claims
that he did not know the money was
counterfeit, but admits, it is said,
bavin" exchanged money with one or
two of the witnesses who testified
.■'"'■Inst him.
The members of the police force
atul sheriff’s office iiave b en looking
‘ r counterfeit passers who have
been working in \sh<*vil!<* fo- the
past several weeks. Silver money of
all denominations has been civen to
man/ merchants in the city -Mid the
stre<*t car company has also come in
for its share. It is not be!, veil how
ever. that Muse was a member ol any
band of bad men, although the offi
Hals say they arc confident that he
had in Ids possession a great d al of
the money.
Muse came to Ashevi'U* from Silis
bury seven years ago. and has been
employed by ttr Southren Railway
since his residence here. He was at
the time of his arrest employed as a
flagman. It is said ilni the vmmg
man was Well liked by his employers,
and that they expressed surprise
when they heard of the charge that
had been made against him.

“This is or should be the proudest

Club entertained a large number of
their friends at the hospitable and
beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. R. S.
Lipscomb on East Frederick street.
As a hostess Miss Jessie Lipscomb
has no superior and under her skill

over the punch howl from which she
daintily dispensed this delightful
beverage. The B. B. Club has long
been recognized as • • nt factor in

Each man took* his present with a
light heart knowing that onlv his de

were too full of emotion to attempt
to express themselves. Messrs. An-

Mr. Buice on their shoulders so he
could respond hut he couldn’t eay a
word—so full was his heart. All In
all it was a beautiful occasion and
well worthy to take Its place among
the pleasing events of the Christmas
times.
Between December 21 and December
28 Darkness Falla Early.
The days of last week were the
shortest of the year, and the business
man hardly had time to realize that
the da vs were begun before darkness
was upon him, making the closing
hours seem late The 21st was really
the shortest of the seven, and from
that date until the 28th the time be
tween sunset and sunrise will rary
but a very few minutes .
At the end of the week the days
will begjln to lengthen almost one
minute each day. The sun will rise
at about the same time each morning,
to set a few minutes later each day.
As a rule there is a noticeable
change in the length about the 1st
of kebmary. wh n daylight continuee
until after t; o’clock.
• The ; * . • n da vs preceding syid the
seven day^ foi owing the shortest
daylight of the year v/or • railed by
the ancients "the halcyon days.” This
i.b a-e, m> familiar as expressive of
iod of tninqui ity, is derived
fro n a fable that during this period,
when the kingfisher or halcyon bird
■ was hrec il ng. the sea was always
: calm. According to poetic fiction, the
: bird was ii-iroM-nied as hatching her
eggs in a floating nest in the midst
j of waters.
