Wilkinsvillp, May 1.—Mr. John A. M. Butt's had the misfortune to lose a fine mare yesterday. There was a big frost this morn ing. Misses Wilma and Estelle Mc Daniel, who have been spending a few days <*n this side of the river, re turned to their home at Hickory Grove yesterday. Mrs. It. A. Foster, of Hickory j Grove, made a short visit to her par ents, Mr. and Mrs. S. F. Estes, yes terday. Mrs. Estes has been in feeble health for a long time. She is one of our county’s most excellent ladies and one of your correspond ent’s nearest and best neighbors and frieds. Mrs. J. H- Fowler and family at tended the funeral of her sister, Mrs. Louis names, who was hurried at Mt. Joy yesterday. She had been sick a long time. The roaring of the storm that pass ed over this section last Saturday morning w’as heard for miles on either side of its track. Aside from the terror it spreads over a communi ty the tornado is a sublime scene showing the presence and power of the great Jehovah who rides upon the cloud and directs the storm. Men and women will stand aghast at it who are moved by no other demon stration of divine power. We were just in the edge of the storm and felt only a small part of its force—and that was terrific enough for us. We met J. C. Chambers, Esq., at Hickory Grove last Sabbath. We were sorry to see him using crutches. He has had a fall from which he re ceived injuries necessitating their use. Mr. Chambers graduated with the first honor at Davidson College before the war. He was a member of Company A. 12th S. 0. regiment and was shot through the body, the ball passing through his lungs, at Gaines’ Mill. June 27, 1802, from which ho has never fully recovered. It. is said that the surgeons drew a silk handkerchief through the wound. The Farmers i'nion (local) met at the school house last Saturday eve ning and transacted routine business connected with the union. They are resolved to take tin* financial situat ion as philosophically as possible— things that can’t be cured must be endured. This by no means signifies that they are getting ready to sur render what they stand for.' In the construction of man’s body the divine architect has wisely guarded against two things—allowing him to pat him self on the back or kick himself— one or the other of which he would be constantely doing if so allowed. From The Southern Presbyterian we learn that at a meeting of King's Mountain Presbytery (X. C.) held at King’s Mountain April 10, Rev. T. F. Boozer was dismissed to the Presby tery of Enoree, Synod of South Caro lina. To show how people of Richmond, Va., do who have the Master’s work at heart, we clip the following from the Southern Presbyterian of April 23rd: “First church, Richmond, of which Dr. McFaden is pastor, shows by its annual reports to presbytery one of the best years in its history. The to tal contributions were $17,330, or an average of $37.07 per member. Of this amount, $7,292 were contirbuted to the benevolent causes of the church, or an average of $15.85 per member. The average contribution per member for foreign, missions was $3.17, and for home mission, $4.70.’’ Such a report a K this calls to mind what a certain Presbyterian preacher told on himself. On one occasion when the hat was coming round tak ing up a collection he found himself feeling in his pocket for a nickle to throw in. All at once the thought struck him; This is my mean, stingy old self colluding with satan to rob God of His own. and with that he pulled out all the money he had in his l>ocket and threw it in the hat. What s a noble spirit that was! How many of our readers have had the same ex perience Farnie.s are very busy planting. Most of the cotton seed is in the grownd. The corn planting is pro- i grossing nicely. Oats are looking fine. Very little wheat was sown last fall and winter on account of the almost continuous rain during the sowing season. The fruit crop (except cherries) ®e piomlses to be plentiful this year. Mr and Mrs. W. G. Fowler and Misg Bonnie McCluney went to Gaff- Bey last Tuesday. Miss “Edna.” you are throwing off on “Mr. Jack." Some girl would do well to catch him in her net, if we are any judge. Messrs. W. A. and 0. W, Wflilso- nant were called to Blacksburg last ( Tuesday to see their mother. Mrs. j Betsy Whitesides, who is lying very low. She is well advanced in years \ and her recovery is very doubtful. The Cherojree county candidates art slow coming out this year. Per haps they are waiting until the dang er of killing frost is past—-a good idea. There are two thlngty>e°Ple should 1 never do—Complaint of things they can help, or complain of things they can’t help. If they can help them they ought to do so and not allow them to take place. If they can’t help them put them down as inevit able and say no more about it. But unfortunately most people do hpth. We forgot to announce In our Tues day’s letter that Rev. C. M. Teal would preach at Abingdon Creek next Sabbath—May 3rd. The A. R. Presbyterians have built a new up-to-date house of worship at Smyrna which will be dedicated on the third Sabbath in July. Rev. J. P. Knox, of Columbia, is expected to preach the dedicating sermon. In i connection with this a few days meet ing will be held. We hope to be able to attend this meeting and be once more on this, our old stamping ground. Mrs. S. F. Estes has a fine brood of young chickens hatched off and more hens setting. With each issue of The Ledger the correspondent’s letters become more and more interesting, and great im provement in each of the writers is very apparent. We congratulate each and every one of them on the success they a;e making in journal ism. Keep it up young friends, there’s always room at the top of the ladder. We notice that the type setter still persists in misquoting some of our v ords. But it’s our fault and not yeurs, Will. We should take more pains in writing. Wie commend you i for doing as well as you do. You are said to be the only man in the of|ce than can read our “script.” Now as money matters are so close that spinners can't pay over ten cents for cotton, the cotton holders can re lieve the situations somewhat by keeping their produce off the market ! until the mills can dispose of their goods, and then things will move on I glibly as ever.
