T think all old people, who feel the effects of age, should bene fit tinir health by using Peruna.” Ill the Best Part ot His Life. Mr. .1. li. Prince, 11. It. g, Cattaraugus, N.

I I I I I I II DRAYTONVILLE DOTS. A Review of Events by Our Regular Correspondent. Liraytonville, Nov. 4.—We are hav ing some pleasant weather at this writing, and the people will finish gathering their crops in a few weeks if the weather continues favorable. Mrs. A. L. Hallman and little daughter, Minnie Lee, of Gaffney, spent Saturday night with the family of Mr. Crate Patterson, near Chero kee Falls, and returned home Sun day afternoon. Misses Lula and Ethel Elmore went to Gaffney Friday on a shop ping tour. Our faithful superintendent, Mr. Will Huskey, celebrated his thirty- eighth birthday last Sunday. Mr. Huskey is a good Christian worker, as well as a sturdy farmer. He is a man who knows not the taste of strong drinks and never takes the name of his Master in vain. Mr. Huskey has been superintendent of Draytonville Sabbath school for the last sixteen months, and according to our observation, has proved him self to be the best leader of a Sab bath school we have had at this place in quite a mber of years. He had the misfortune to lose his dear mother a few weeks ago, and this sad incident impelled him more strongly to live and .vork for his Heavenly Master. We 3eply sympa thize with him and pray ♦hat he may meet with success in e\ ything he takes upon himself to do for the up building of his Master’s kingdom.

The I ■ - ■ i ! 8 rub out the marks with the eraser on the end of the pencil, but that only made long black streaks and mess ed up the paper. “Oh, dear. I cannot unwrite these marks!” she cried, and she rubbed with the eraser until she rubbed a little hole in the paper. .Inst then her father came into the room, and he told her the black marks on the white paper were like the marks of naughty words and act ions in little girls’ hearts. The right way is to be obedient and not make the black marks; for after they are made it is very, very hard to rub them out again. Do you not think this a very true little story? Have you never been angry and said un kind words? Well, they were black marks. You may have felt sorry for them, but you could not take them hack. As the little girl said, we can not unwrite” what has once been written on paper. So, when we write on the hearts of others Hard little things, we may have our re grets and we may be forgiven; but the memory of them will last. Let us be careful and not make any black marks in the hearts of our friends and associates. Messrs. Jones and Bridges were in this section the latter part of last week soliciting orders for enlarged pictures. The price of cotton seems to be on a standstill. The people seem to be getting a little uneasy about It’s get ting any better, and they are putting it on the market. We often hear the question asked, “Why is the price so low, when there Is but a small crop being made?” but we have failed so far to hear a definite answer. The Farmers Union has failed so far to get fifteen cents for their cotton, and from the present outlook, it does not look like they will get even twelve and a half cents. The poor farmers cannot hold their cotton, hence it has to be sold in order to pav debts. “A house that Is divided will not stand, hut will tumble to the ground.” The Union has been divided, and there fore it has not accomplished anything. Raise more corn and other grain and less cotton, is our plea for the South ern farmers. Messrs. Dolph Patterson and John Britrht were down here Monday on a hunting trip. The work on the new church after I i j Drug Com'py j We are told that old “Top,” (a dog of Mr. T. J. Estes’) caught the first one last week. We understand that Mr. R. A. Fos ter has ordered a fine fox dog from Kentucky. We haven’t heard how it did in the race. Mr. “Tillet” Hartford was surpris ed to think an automobile could run as fast up a hill as on level ground, or anywhere else. There are some things he has never yet discovered, it seems. Messrs. Syd and Jim Miller both have chills. We hope “Syd” will soon be able to write again for The Ledger. We have not had as many chills in this section as usual after such a freshet. If those who agree that “prohibition don't prohibit” would think they would find that water in the well won’t slake thirst either when no ef fort is made to get it out and use it for that purpose. When it becomes known that every man who votes the prohibition ticket is determined to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law all violat ions that come to his knowledge then, liquor sellers will go out of business. The fact is too many men are like Governor Zeb Vance, of North Caro- lina, who said his heart was in favor of prohibition but his stomach was against it. That’s the way with many of us, we fear. We old soaks who get our “bug juice” from the old North State had better have our orders filled and ship ped before the first of January next or It might not come so easily and quickly. The towns of Gaffney and Union, (be it said to their credit )are en forcing the law against selling whis key. There is no danger of officials going out of their way to enforce a law they are not in full sympathy with, or It Is not to their interest to enforce. The W. O. W. met at Salem last Saturday and unveiled the monument of J. Edward Leech. A large crowd was there. Your correspondent could not attend and therefore, can’t give any of the particulars of the pro ceedings. Mr. “Tillet” Hartford lost a horse lately. It fell and got crippled In its business affairs will soon settle down to normal conditions and go on as heretofore, although the dema gogue Is here to stay. He is more in terested in the loaves and fishes than he is in the hungry multitude. The cotton pickers are on their last round and with a few days of favorable weather and other con ditions the crop will all be gathered. Mr. J. N. Strain hauled a bale of cotton to the water gin yesterday. The fox caught last Saturday on Mr. W. R. Walker's place was cut to pieces by the hunters and each took a piece as a trophy. “Millis” Little took the tail, Dick Hughes the head and Asa Blackwell a foot. We haven’t heard what the others got. Mrs. Martha Blackwell died rather suddenly last Friday evening. She had consumption and had been sick a long time. She lived at the Greer place. She was buried at Mesopo tamia last Sabbath. Two days meetings were held at El Bethel and Skull Shoals each last Saturday and Sabbath. A good many of the Salem Sabbath school scholars went to the colored school house in the afternoon to hear Rev. Jonah Moorehead preach. His text was Mark 14:34, “Tarry ye here, and watch.” Sam Littlejohn, colored, attended the singing at Levi Wood’s and led the music. Sam claims to be an ex pert singer. He says he don't use a book at all. Mr. “Tillet” Hartford will move to Spartanburg about Christmas. He will run a dairy there next year. Mr. Gist Reynolds went to see his girl last Sabbath. Mr. James W. Smarr and wife, Mrs. Lottie, came over to see her parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Inman, last Saturday and to attend preach ing at Skull Shoals. The girl who isn’t glad to see her beau come, especially when he brings a pocket full of candy, is rather a curiosity in these “diggings,” and it’s about the case anywhere else, we suppose. Boys, take the candy. J. L. S. Renmlier! LOST.
