S1JS A A NEWSY LETTER FROM W’LKINSVILL, MOVEMENTS OF ”HE PEOPLE OF LOWER CHEROKEE. Personal Paragraphs Concerning Pop ular People and Short Items of that Section. Waikinsville, July 16.—There win be preacbhip ut Salem next Sabbath, 21st in&t. it was hoped that arrange ments could be made to have the communion service then and that ample time could be had for giving notice through the county papers. Those interested in the graveyard at Salem are requested to meet next Saturday morning, the 20th inst, by 8 o'clock to clean it off. The burying ground having been considerably en larged within the last two years and a heavy crop of grass and weeds on the new part of it will necessitate a full turnout of the forces to clean it off properly. Of the people of Salem one thing can always be depended up on—they -will respect their dead. Rev. and Mrs. Owens made a short stop with us on their way to Mesopo tamia last Sabbath where Mr. Owens filled his appointment. While we have never had the pleasure of form ing the acquaintance of either of them we confess we were favorably impressed with both of them. To have influence with a people—espe cially a country people—a man must be one of them. The royal reception given Rev. Mr. Matheson. the new Presbyterian min ister by the ministers and people of other denominations of Gaffney is truly gratifying to him and his peo ple. and speaks well for all. The sweet singer of Israel was looking down the vista of coming years, cen turies and cycles to such a scene of brotherly love when he wrote the 133rd Psahn. We have both pity and contempt for the religious bigot who thinks that, his church has all the Christian people i n it. No church mi 11 tent has such a claim but all of them have a part. It is only the church triumphant that has such a claim on purity. We understand that Mrs. Dr. L. R. Black is quite sick and that Dr. John G. Black, of Blacksburg, has been called to see her. The children who wish to take part in the Children’s Day exercises at Salem are having their parts assigned them. The Sabbath school extends a n invitation to the children of other churches and denominations to join them and take a part. They meet on Wednesday of next week, 24th Inst., at 2 o’clock p. m. to practice. Only those having children in charge are expected to be present, A crowd of spectators is calculated to confuse the children and impede the work of preparation and we hope the general public will realize that fact, and act accordingly. Mr. w. C. Blackwell is reported on the sicb list Mr. Sam J. Strain, who has been sick for several days was able to re sume his work yesterday morning. Mrs. Dock Webber, of Wilkjnsville, has most kindly remembered JlJrs. J. L. S. and her household with a spe cimen of her mammoth blood red beets which are a veritable luxury, and for which she has our thanks. They are “whopper” i n size. Mrs. Jessie Blackwell was going about last week with her “mouth all stuck out.” But she wasn’t mad—she only had a sore tooth. Week before last Mrs. Joe Estes was in the same fix but. she was In a good humor every time we saw or heard from her. Mrs. Amanda Lee spent last night with her sister. Mrs. J. L. strain. Mrs. j. L. S. cooked her first mess of roastingears last Sabbath. The public road near th e old Davis place has some dangerous holes in it that ought to be fixed before an accident happens there. When any one says anything about or does a kindness for Mrs. j. L S., we won’t tell her who it is until she has time to love all her neighbors awhile. She has a fine drove of chickens gone wild. They don’t come about the house. If they know the big meeting season Is coming on we wouldn’t blame them in the leaat. “Uncl e Sill” wants the legislature to pass a law prohibiting merchants from selling or people from wearing • these broad-brimmed straw hats for he can’t tell one man from another any distance who is wearing one. Perhaps it would be better to fur nish him with a pair of new eyes. Old Mr. Jack Palmer died some time ago on Pea Ridge. He was well known in this county and an old Con federate soldier. Mrs. Boyce Whisonant met one of her sisters at Howell’s ferry last Sat urday and brought her home with her to spend a few days. The A. R. Presbyterian Sabbath school of Hickory Grove will have a picnic at Piedmont Springs next Sat urday. We acknoledge an invitation to be with them. Mr. and Mrs. j. L. Blackwell spent last Saturday night with relatives at Hickory Grove and attended preach ing service at the A. R. P. church on Sabbath morning. Mr. W. R. Walker has put up a mai] box for the use of hlg Sunny- side farm. In speaking of the picnic at Wll- kinsville on Saturday 27th inst Mr. C. W, Whisonant authorises ua to say that the young people of both sexes are specially Invited. He will, how ever, Insist on the very best of order being observed and those who attend will be made welcome to all the legi timate pleasures the occasion may afford. He expects to make these occasions annually and he can’t af ford to let the failure of one blight the prospects of the others. We have never seen vegetation grow faster than it has been doing for the last week or ten days. Cot ton is beginning to put on but much of it is yet to be taken out of the grass. With The Ledger force and other friends of Henry Lipscomb, deceased, w e mingle our sympathies. We have only known him since he has be*n connected with The Ledger but have seen enough of >him to think that he was an exemplary man and one of whom his race has Just reason to be proud. He was always at his post, courteous and polite to those about him or with whom he came in busi ness contact. To his employer he was ever faithful and his place will not easily be filled by another. We are told that death always chooses a shining mark. It rides on every passing breeze: It lurbs in every flow'er. Each moment has its own disease— Its perils every hour. RAVENNA READING.

The Family. The Charming Woman is not necessarily one of perfect form and features. Many a plain woman who could never serve as an artist's model, possesses those rare qualities that all the world admires: neatness, clear eyes, clean smooth skin and that springhtliness of step and action that accompany good health. A physically weak woman is never attractive, not even to herself. Electric Bitters restore weak women, give strong nerves, bright eyes, smooth, velvety skin, beautiful com plexion.

Death of Stewart Camp, Stewart Camp, age seventeen’ years, died at the home of his mother, near Camp’ ferry Tuesday July the 9th, after an illness of about three months. Some time since he had an operation performed and never re covered from same. He was a mem ber of State Line church where he had been a member for the past four years. He was Just entering into young manhood and was admired and respected by all who knew him. His remains were entered at State Line church Wednesday July loth. His mother is Joined by a number of synupathetic friends in her bereave ment A China Wedding. •On last Tuesday evening Mr. and Mrs. Kobt C. Sarratt celebrated their china wedding, this being the twen tieth anniversary of their marriage. The function was one of the most .pleasing and largely attended social events of the season. The beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Sarratt in West Gaffney was tastefully decorated for the occasion and the ices and lunch eon was in keeping with the surround ings. The presents were almost numberless, attending n marked de gree the popularity of the couple. —The Gaffney Drug Co’s, ground Spice* and Flavoring Extracts cost no more than those you are now uelng, so what’s the good of tMdPE any risb? What is Transpiring In a Large Mill Town. Clifton. July 13.—A young lady who was once an operative here, Is now In Oklahoma, and writes to a friend at Clifton as follows: “You remember that I went to Ten nessee from South Carolina, and from there I came to Texas, and am now in Oklahoma. I like Tennesssee the best of all. Of course there is a great contrast between South Carolina and thes e western States. Oklahoma wrill soon he a free State. It has belong ed to Uncle Sam till recently. “Where I am now living is a very beautiful place tp those living here. We live in a little cottage among a grove of small trees. These trees are th e only timber to be seen from this place. Oh such a country! It i is nothing but praries, and 1 despise 1 it the worst of any place that I have |ever seen. “The ‘sand storms’ are something j to be considered. They come in the spring of the year and the sand comes j into the house, build it as you may. ' You may be sitting i n the house closed ! in, while a ‘sand storm is on. and see j the dirt and sand falling to the floor i and in the piano, and elsewhere. We 1 had a ‘sand storm’ that filled our piano so full of sand that we had to I pay a piano tuner $5 to get it cleaned out. No cooking Is done during these 1 times. We live on bread from the : bakery and cheese, and jiies from the bakers, and such like. Th ( . baker keeps a delivery wagon, made to keep ! the sand out of his food, and on those ! sandy days when we are in need of anything in his line, we just ’phone him. telling him what is needed and in a very few minutes it is at our door nailed in a box and wrapped securely in paper. But by the tim € we get it out and into the house the sau ( ] has almost covered it. So this is how this wild western country is. No matter how clean the dishes may have been washed, when we sit down to the table we can write our names on them. To you this sta^ment may | seem a great exaggeration, but it is ; all quite true. If anyon e had told me this before I came here and saw j it. I would have disbelieved it my- ! self. “The ‘northerners’ come mostly at inieht, hut occasionally they come In day time. The wind' comes directly from the north and shakes the house ; almost to pieces and blows the chick ens. dogs and calves away and often ! kills them. “There are no negroes here, so the ladies do all their washing, etc., them selves. We put out a big washing one morning of our best white sum- 1 mer wear, and as soon as we got it out, a heavy ‘northerner’ came on and blew all we had on the clothes- lui% away. Some we found but they were so badly torn that they were utterly useless. Northerners last from two to three hours. "People all have ‘dugouts,’ that is a square hole from eight to ten feet deep in which is a little house to fit, with a roof like a chicken coop: over this is a layer of earth about five inches thick, where they go when cyclones come. “The Indians are over in the Ter ritory just a short distance from us, and there is nothing there but gyp water. They take their spades, (shovels and other implements and i excavate a cistern which they fill with rain water and call it a ‘lake.’ From this they drink water, wash all their clothing and bathe in it, water their horses and wash their dogs in it. The gyp water is very disagreeable, indeed, to those not used to It. It draws your mouth till you can scarce ly drink at all.” 1 Rev. T. H. Harrison, assisted by • Rev. B. B. Hill, of Inman, conducted I a series of meetings at No. 2 hall, last week, which resulted in three acces sions to the church and quite a num- her of others seem interested. ! This week Rev. j. L. Harley,’ assist, ; ®d by Rev. Mr. Masambean. of Spar tanburg, is holding a meeting at the I Methodist church, the result of which remains to be developed at a later date. M!r. j. R. McPherson went to James- town last week and took in the Ex position, with which he expresses himself highly pleased James Shelby’s New Show is on at lander s lot this afternoon and to night, but for a wonder, th* people seem to be very Indifferent as to whether they patronize it or not. This is a new move j n the people, for it is the first tline that anything of the kind has ever come to Clifton without everything “going wild” over it. Doubtless this will be a source of discouragement to them, and we Jfar that they will go off and tell that Clifton ig the nearest nowhere that they have ever been. After a very warm spell of weather for several days we have had some fine rains, and crops look promising. Mr. Luther T. Seay, of Olympia Mills, at Columbia, came up on a vis it to his mother and family at this place and spent a week. While here, he took a chill, and when he left for his home was very unwell. John L. Strain. Cflftoo, S. C. friends at Buffalo have been notified. Also the coroner has been phoned. The dead body is In charge of Marsh al J. L. Hogan at present. Strange to note, but his brother was drowned, whtye bathing; about fifty yards from the same place where he was, about six years ago. 8. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.
