The Crop Being Short There Was Not Much Demand for Extra Hands and Prices Were Ngt High. Wilkinsville, Oct. 24.—The mad dog scare last Tuesday resulted in the death of some canines and more will probably follow. Wr. Walter Kirby was able to ride out In his buggy this week. Mr. Mize has put up a shop at Sar- ratts where he does all kinds of Ida* esmiting and wagon and buggy- repairing. There must have been an immense crowd at Gaffney last Tuesday If they went on all the roads as they did here. In going and returning It took the procession twenty hours to pass our home. Most of the men went to take the women and children ort o see some fellow on business. They were not particular about the show themselves, they had no curiosity in it. Cotton picking hasn’t brought such prices this season as it usually does. The crop is light and easy to keep up with and the demand for help hasn't been so urgent. Most of the corn crop has been gathered. It’s not so good as it was thought it would be before the gather ing season set in. Hev. C. M. Teal will fill his pulpit at Abingdon Creek church on the first Sabbath of November—1st instant- at 11 o’clock a. m. Those who attened the show at Gaffney last Tuesday think it a very good oiie. We understood one of our lower Cherokeeans made a good haul at the “chance stand.” Some people say it’s not gambling though we haven’t learned how many came home •‘stripped.’’ The rain Wednesday night. Thurs day and yesterday stopped cotton picking. Tuesday was a dark, dismal, smoky day and a good many people said they smelt an odor just like flesh burning. No one could account for It. We have heard of no great fires. When Dr. Fort's barn and mules were burn ed some years ago the odor of the burnt mules could be smelled for miles around, and Tuesday was a re minder of that time. We hope some body will be aide to explain what caused it. Mr. .1. N. Strain, who has been troubled with risings under his arm, is getting better but they still keep coming. What has become’ of our question box? It creates a good deal of amuse ment for some of .our readers. In what way can two odd numbers be combined so as to make 37? Mr. W. ,R. Walker sold sixty head of beef cattle off his Sunnyside farm this week. “Mad dog, mad dog, mad dog,” is a cry that will throw the people of this community into a frenzy of ex citement since the scare of last Mon day which some people haven’t got ten over yet. We have read' with much interest .Moderator Rev. B. P. Reid’s sermon at the opening of Synod at Sumter last Tuesday evening. His text was, “Thou art not far from the kingdom of God.” Mark 12:34. The 2fith day of next month—No vember—will be Thanksgiving day and we haven’t heard of any one who is going to have a turkey din ner. It’s not too late yet. Messrs. Garner and Brewington have been running their ginnery at the Thomson mill. Some weddings are to come off in this community between now and Christmas, so we understand. The dog of Mr. J. L. Daniel, of Gaff ney, which stayed with us a few days after Children’s Day at Salem and then followed some of the, Sharon people home from a fishing tour, we understand, turned up at Mr. Tom Shannon's at Blackstock. This is the last we heard of him. Mrs. Maggie Black, who has been visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. M. Estes returned to her home at Glendale last Wednesday. Your correspondent has been feel ing unwell for several days. Frohn Lucile Lee’s letter under date October 7th, we clip the follow ing: "Josh Wise says ‘Men sneer at no man’s shopin’, but when women shop they don t have to eat cloves ter disguise what they’ve been buying.' Do you agree with him, J. L. 8?” Yes, certainly we do, “Cousin Josh” is right. The man who would de prive the women of the principal hap piness they have this side of heaven is too mean to make wolf halt off. Wo enjoy reading the letters of the various correspondents and through them have learned much about th- people in the different sections from which they write. A long wet spell now will put farm ers behind in sowing small grain crops. Mrs. Wilson Brown, of Hopewell, is lying very low at this ^rltinr. She has been sick a long'time. If some kind friend will let ns know where we can get a shepherd pup we will go almost any distance for it. We had two good dogs killed Sweet Potato Pi#. Take several* sweet potatoes, and when they bavu I toiled themselves ten der peel and slice them. Line the bot tom and sides j of a deep dish with crust—the dishl must be fully three inches in deptll—and upon this nr- range a layer of the potatoes, butter- sugaring them free- them with nutmeg. >f very thin slices of Ith hot water, then follow with another, layer of sliced po tatoes and repeat uljtil the pan is full. The top crust follows, and the pie must then lie baked for am.hour or more.— Miles Bradford in Bohemian Magazine. ing them liberal If ly and sprinklini Add next a layer dough, sprinkle a Eupbemisrps For ,Death. “Decease" is now a regular form of word for death. But it, began as a gentle euphemism, “dectrssus (depar ture! seeming much less harsh to the Romans than “mors.” All languages abound in euphemisms pf the kind, which go Isick to a superstitious re luctance to mention death' plainly that gradually passed*into a kindly desire to soften the idea. “Pasted away.” “departed.” “gone.” “expire” (breathe out), “no more,” “demise”) and even “the late” are expressions bf this na ture. Most striking of ail !ls the Ro man euphemism for “lie is dead, “vis it” (he has lived). An Artificial World. The mingled feelings of admiration ! and skepticism with which we gazed upon the stuffed animals in the toy shops of our youth we still experience; in the society of many of the human animals we meet later in life. The more we admire the more do we mis trust, while there is nothing of which we are more convinced than that ev erything is unreal, from the complex ion of our friends to the genius of a great writer.—Loudon Ladies’ Field. An Experienced View. Bride (prettily)—I wonder why they call a wife's allowance pin money? Matron (savagely)—Because money to buy enough pins to hold her old clothes together is about all that the average man tlilnks a woman needs. — Balti more American. Britieh Army’s Firet Troueer*. Perhaps the army revolution of deep est Interest to the soldier himself was that effected in 1K2.'5. when for the first time he was put in trousers. The an nouneement from the horse guards took the following remarkable form: “His mnjosty has been pleased to ap prove of the discontinuance of breech es. leggings and shoes as part of the clothing of the infantry soldiers and ol bine gray cloth trousers and half boots being substituted.” In order to indem nify the “elotliin. r colonels" for any hardship which the new order might cause it was decided that these gentle men should, no longer be called upon to provide Hie waistcoat of Tommy, but that Tommy should himself supply it out of his shilling a day. To reas sure him it was pointed oat that he was in a position to do so with eom fort, because he would no longer have to buy gaiters. London Chronicle. The First Gas Tubes. William Murdock, a Scottish mining engineer employed in the Redruth mines. Cornwall, appears to have been the first to suggest that gas might be conveyed in tubes and used instead of lamps and candles. He made a very ingenious gas lantern for himself, with ■which lie used to light his way over the Cornish moors at night. This lan tern consisted of a bag filled with gas and fitted with a tube, at the end of which the gas could lie lighted. Carry ing the bag under Ins arm. Murdock used to light Ids way home at night. On meeting any one it is said that he would give the bag a squeeze and thus send out a long tongue of flame. This led to Ids being looked upon as the demon of the Cornish moors.—London Telegraph. The Voice of the People. Bot» Toombs of Georgia was massive in frame and a giant In intellect. A back country paper criticised a bill he was putting through the legislature. “This sheet," he roared, flourishing it aloft at a public meeting in Marietta, “is about the size of a boy’s shirt tail and is called Vox Popult—the voice of the people! It has been established eight years and lias a circulation of 100 weekly in a state with 1,000,000 population. Voice of the people! Why, it is the voice of one of the people, and he is an illiterate ass!” Addition. “A bigamist should be an arithmeti cian.” “Why?” “He adds one and has two to carry.” —Washington Post.
