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.

neatness, clear eyes, clean smooth

never attractive, not even to herself.

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.

remains to be developed at a later

town last week and took in the Ex

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.
