Wilkinsville, May 1.—We are hav ing spring weather again an.l farmers are making good use of it. Mrs. Eliza Foster cam' over last Saturday on a visit to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. F. Estes. She re mained with them until Sabbath eve ning. We made a trip to Hickory Grove last Saturday and while in town were invited to take dinner with Mrs. L/um Mloorehead. who had a mess of this vear’s wdiite head cabba&s. We are sorry that our arrangements made It out of the question to accept her hospitality but w r e assured her that wie would do so at some other time. We called at MYs. Dagnall’s to gee their little Ixjv who has been so badly burned and w** were glad to see him able to be about. He still has a sore hand, but his burns are all healing nlcekv and he is apparently in the • best of health. Mr. and Mrs. Dagnall are so much attached to the child that to lose him would cause thi' i m in tense sorrow. We find that the fruit crop is a complete failure. It is thought by some that the late blossoms on the cherry trees will be followed by a small crop. There are some plums and thiere will he a light blackbercy crop. This seems to be the only fruit crop that is looked for this vear. Mrs. Sam J. Strain and daughter. Miss Ruth, are spending a few days this week with Mrs. Strain’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. T. B. McCulloch, of the Pinckney ferrv section. With good health and weather the cotton crop, and most of the corn will be planted this week. Onr readers should rejoice with Us. to know that an old and bitter family feud came to an end last Sat- 1 unlay night when the dove of peace found a resting plaoo for the sole of her foot and a veritable love feast followed. The tomahawk and scalp ing knife were buried: the parties made friends and asked each others forgiveness and it may be they seal ed it bv kissing each other. If they did so we are glad we were not there to witness this part of the proceed- ings. The smart Aleck is abroad in the land. His chief article of diet is ^“l*azor soup. If he would take a few drops of brain tonic before each meal he would soon f vl its beneficial in fluence over his actions—besides its an excellent appetizer. We haven’t much time and hut little opinion for the average “Young America.’’ Mrs. Ethel Blackwell is spending a rew days with her parents th.is we^k and doing some rewing. learn from rood authority that “Jonnv Barleycorn" made a visit to this section last Sabbath or Sabbath night and the result was one colored woman got gloriously drunk. If a lit tle deflective work was done in the right wav our good roads society would soon initiate some new Tuem- bers. , A. M. Collins, of Converse, was in thig section Monday buying eggs, chickens, etc. for his home market. * Mr. T. Jeff Hughes, who was laid up last week with cold, started out Monday morning to buying chickens, eggs and butter f or the Fnlon mark et. He savs he thinks he will ston the business after this vear. He has been at It faithfully for a lone t!m,e and has been reported dead a tim« or two. Wfe are sorry we could not. attend the commencement exercises at the Wilkerson school last Friday. We learn they had a nice time over there. Mr. James G. Garner is now doing a lot of grinding at the Thomson mills. He is a millwright and can keep the machinery in tip-top running order all the time. Mr. Boyce Whisonant is sick at this writing. Mr. Sam J. Strain has gone into the chicken raising business. He got ft setting of Plymouth Rock eggs from Mr. W. J. Vaughn this week. Misses Mabel and Lillian Foster, of ' Hickory grove, who have been visit ing their grandparents. Mr. and Mrs. $. F. Estes, returned home yesterday. 1 Mr. James Wallace, of Tirzah. was ip this neighborhood last week on business. He is a Ledger reader and savs he keeps up wMth the affairs of lo<(ver Cherokee. tyiessrs. Claude and George Go forth. who have been at wortc in the lower part of the State, have return ed home to work on the farm until the crop is made. They are sons of Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Goforth and were raised on the farm and know how to t ) farm work. Mr. Goforth has a ,-ge farm and hasn’t got hands to , the work. Besides, one of his boys wilFdo more and better work in one day than anv three hands he cap pick up at random. Mr. Goforth learned his children what work is and Ji&t’s what every parent should do. fWe met our friend and fomrade Mr. J. T Moorehead going to mill last Monday. Mr. Moorehead is another of lower Cherokee’s staunch- ast men and best farmers. Though, litae the rest of us. he is getting too * far advanced in life to do much, yet v is always busy. He. too. has a largo farm and lias to depend mostly on hired laborers and crooners to work it. If our country was made up of such men and women as Mr. apd Mrs. Moorehead and Mr. and Mrs. Goforth it would ho much belter than B is. Th!<? picture men are driving round delivering their work to their na trons. This trade takes annually out of this country a large amount of money and leaves many people dis satisfied because they are no better looking than they are. The women ^nerally want to look younerer than they really are. A good many farmers who planted cotton before the heavy rain of last week- will have to harrow the ground before it comes up. and some think thiey will have to plant it over again. Mr. W. R. Walker is selling a great many beeves off his Sunnvside farm. He has sold pigs in five differ ent States and he has more orders now than he can fill. This shows how popular his farm is becoming. Hie has the pure breeds of tho best stock that can be had. It will pay any one who never was on a first class stock farm to visit his and see what a dif ference there is between them and the ordinary “scrub” stock. He has milch cows equal to the best. Four and five gallons of milch per dav is no extraordinary amount for them to give. Wie have heard It remarked that these three and four gallon cows never give it after they are sold, but his will, we are sure. Mr. Walker has done and Is doing this country a great deal ot eood by introducing such fine stock, and the tim* is not far distant when no other kind of either cows nor hogs qan he bad. The “scrub” stock will give way to a far superior one. The ajxniment that its the feed and not the stock that makes good hogs and cows is all bosh. Your correspondent thought that until he saw the d iff erenow. This, of course is good and necessary, hut It takes good stock to make good hogs and cows. Mr. Walker has spent thousands of dollars to bring his farm un to what it is. and now he has the largest and best in the State—one equal to those of the Blue Grass region of Kentucky. East Tennessee or Pennsylvania. Don’t take our word for this, reader, hut go and see for yourself. Mr. Wlade Elmore, the foreman on the farm, is a good manager and keeps everything moving on lust as if Mr. Walker was present al] the time. Mrs. Elmore attends to the milch cows and has all the milch and butter she can dispose of. Owing to the lateness of the flow ers in coming out. the memoria 1 as sociation has concluded to postpone the decoration of the soldiers craves at Salem until Saturday 18th inst. at 3 p. m. when it will meet for that purpose. Hon. J. C. Otts has been invited to make an address 3nd the public is conliallv invited to aAJend. J. L. S. UNION COUNTY’S “REBEL" SOLDIERS MEN WHO FOLLOWED THE STARS AND BARS.

It is expected that there will be a large crowd to go from here to Green ville on May 15th. 16th and 17th to attend the May music festival which that progressive little city is arrang ing. Reports coming from there show that the people of Greenville are alive to the interests of this section* and are arranging to have a f *val second to the best ever held South. Nine great artists, assisted kv the Cincinnati Symphony orchestra and the Atlanta orchestra, together with a grand chorus of one hundred a pd seventy-five well trained and talented voices will furnish an eAertaijjinent which will be a loss to those wh'* do ”Ot tabe advantage of the opooxtunl- ty to hear it. There will be flvg con certs in all. the admission Prise for the five numbers being only 64. Tick ets have been placed on sale at the music house of John H. Williams, In Greenville, and each day the 'mall or ders are footing up to a great numb er. People from all over the Pied mont will likely attend, and the fes tival at Greenville will probablY at tain proportions which the people of th?' live little city do not really ap preciate—in point of magnitude any way. \V5th the numbers and ensembles offered, with the great artists engag ed to appear, with the great enthu siasm. with the enhancing and en trancing music to be presented. It is safe to predict that those who attend will more than get their mone^’ worth. Low railroad rates will be granted, and the schedules of the roads run ning into Greenville are such that it is easy to cnend only a shore time there, provided this is absolutely necessary. The people who have inaugurated this institution are not attempting to imitate anyone, or any* oner institu tion of a like nature, nor do they wish to appear in the fteld of compe tition. They simply have a complete community of culture, and .wish to foster this enterprise and to develop this very exceeding quality. Among the great artists wh© will appear are Sig. Geo. Rogovoy. who un to a few years ago. was t&e cellist to the Russian Czar. He is well known throughout Europe, and hip coming to Greenville is regarded as a signal triumph for the festival man agement. Another great artist who will appear here is Mrs. Beatric flpe, of New York, who is regarded as one of the world’s greatest sopranos. She has the proper interpretation of musical parts, which is a very, neces sary quality. In all there are nine artists. A treat to take advantage of. and the price of only four dollars per season ticket Is regard'd as very unusual. John H. Williams, Greenville, sells the tickets. Protracted Meeting. The people of the town and com munity are invited to attend a series of services beginning in the First Baptist church next Sabbath morning and conducted by Rev. T. T INJartin. who is a great Bible student and teacher and a very interesting speak- er. Come one and all and let jis t,eek the Lord. Services each day. beginning with Monday, at 4 p. m. and 8 p. m. Sab bath at 3:30 p. m. Mr. Martin will speak on “The married life—its pre sent dav Perils and dangers.” Hear him by all means. A. M. Simms. BEWARE OF “DIGESTIVES."
