PILBBIIT NBWfc Review of Kvents fr«m One Our Verb County CarreaBanUenta. Filbert, R. F. D. 1, Nov. 16—In the room where these lines are being penned, there hangs a picture. It is just a common picture, such as may be bought in almost any store. Yet, I never look at this picture without being refreshed at the sight of it. Now. some may think that I have not much to write, since I am now writ ing about such common things as pic tures. But one of the most fascinat ing traits of a writer is his ability to make interesting reading out of the most common material. And while I do not claim to be a Hawthorne in the art of writing, I do pretend to some degree of completeness as a writer. And our readers no doubt re member that I recently promised them a series of sketches of my own composition, therefore, I think that it is now time for me to begin fulfilling that promise. The picture which has pleased me so well that I desire to describe it here, is a landscape, or scenery, painting in natural colors. It por trays a large lake, or pond, of water, in which several head of cattle are slaking their thirst. On the left of the picture, stands a clump of trees, amidst which is a large mansion house. The land about the pond is covered with a small thick growth of weeds, grasses, and other shrubs, while the sky is lighted up with a radiant sunset glow. There are a few clouds to be seen, away to the west; but the sky is, for the most part, clear and blue. The picture is one of peace, and the artist who painted it was a master. Every home should contain such pictures. I hope that my readers will enjoy this scrap, as well as the others which are to follow it; although I may be presuming a little too far, to think that they will enjoy that which is yet to be written. “Lucile Lee,” I'm glad to know that you enjoyed your birthday so well. I suppose every neighborhood has its “funny man,” and I think we of this section can boast of a good one. But I won’t name him ncOr. I’ll just wait until he tells me an exceptionally funny story. Since I began lo write for The Led ger, I’ve learned one thing, to'wit; It pays to be 01 a delightfully sunny disposition, if one can do so. • He that wrestles with us strength ens our nerves and sharpens our skill; our antagonist is our helper.”— Burke. “They are never alone that are ac companied with noble thoughts.”— Sidney. “But words are things, and a small drop of ink, Falling, like dew, upon a thought, produces That which makes thousands, per haps millions, think.”—Byron. i l I have installed a new outfit of latest Improve ment in my mill; com plete in every detail, with a capacity of 100 to 150 bushels per day.

BROWN A WILKINS. Next Door to Limestone St. Crawley's Drugstore. Oct. 2, 2m. DR. W. K. GUNTER OBMT1ST Office in Star Theatre Building Phons No. 20. Crowm and Brides work e It is cold and raiuy today( Satur day), and the farmers are not get ting much work done. But I think people are pretty well up with their cotton picking. That which I am pleased to call “the party-time” has come to the country once more; and the cracked fiddle, the home-made banjo, or the strained-up French harp will all do their share of making winter in the backwoods a pleasant time for us rustics. There doesn’t seem to be any per sonal items for me to report in this letter. Those who are devoted to the sport of bird hunting, will, I suppose, begin to shoot at the poor innocents (the birds) this week. Now, gentlemen, don’t forget us newspaper men, in case you bag very much game. We poor fellows like to stick our teeth in a juicy bird pie once in awhile. It’s better and more up-to-date than “’pos sum au’ talers,” you know. My New Hampshire friend, Mr. M. A. J. Freman, has again remembered me—with a letter and several photo graphic views of a Vermont stone quarry, this time. He writes an in teresting letter, and advises me not to become discouraged. He tells me to continue to write about the simple things of every day life, and success will in the end crown my efforts. I deeply appreciate it all; for it is in deed pleasant to know that I have far-off admirers, who are interested in me, and who wish me all possible success. I have several unknown correspondents, Mr. Freeman among them, who seem to fear that I may be too ambitious, and advise me not to study too hard. Now, friends, i try to mqjif the most of all the ad" vice that I deceive. I think I can un derstand what sort of an impression my writings have made upon the minds of my readers, so I do not mind your writing and advising me. Indeed, I rather enjoy receiving let ters from strangers. At some other time, I shall coutinue this talk, as I have some interesting things to tell you all. Although yestet'day morning was very cold, “B£n Hope,” In company with his sister, took a drive across the country, ^visiting Mr. R. L. Robin son and family. The wintry air was piercing, but I enjoyed the drive very well. I never visit far from home, as it is inconvenient for me to do so; bjut I find, much pleasure in visiting hty near Neighbors. Ben Hope. Filbert* R. F. I). 1, Nov. 19.—Bird unting seems to be in full swing round here this week, as we can ear the sound of much shooting. The Beersheba school opened up n last Monday morning. Miss Hat- e McAfee Is the teacher for this rm./ I suppose that it will continue ffr r.bout three months. Miss Hat Is a most estimable young lady, we of this section, wish for her her school much success, hanksgiving comes on next Thurs- the 26th instant, this year. It have come by the time this let reaches some of our readers, erefore permit me to wish each ,nd every one of you a pleasant time or that day. As these lines are being traced across the page, our old friend, Mr. John Caldwell, is seen coming down the road. So I shall have to lay aside my pen for the time being. Mr. W. J. Love, the writer’s father, is on the sick list this week. Mr. Billy Stewart Is still quite sick. He seems to improve very elowly. Dr. Saye, of Sharon, Is his attending physician. Gather ye rose-buds while ye may. Old time is still a-flying, And this same flower that smiles to day, Tomorrow will be dying.” —Herrick. “Truth is as impossible to soil by any outward touch as is the sun beam.’—Lord Bacon. “There never was a good war or a bad peace.”—Franklin. In this letter, I wish to presume a little—if this is the way to express it. I wish to suggest an improve ment for The Ledger, and if it prove to be of any real merit, I shall feel that I have not done so in vain. I have given this subject my most serious consideration, therefore I be- lie\e the suggestion I am about to make will, if given a fair trial, make our paper very interesting indeed. I do not, of course, intend to dictate the policy of the paper, but 1 know that I am at liberty to make a mere suggestion. And while I may per haps have some desire of personal ad vancement In doing this; I trust that our correspondents will all give us their opinions along this line, since my idea is (or will be) an innovation in newspaper work. But the editor must be the judge, as he is, in a way, our teacher. And he may not “spare the rod and spoil the child.” without also spoiling the paper. Now, my idea is this: Let us have a brief. Interesting, Instructive aud entertaining department in The led ger, called “The Literary and Educat ional Department.” It should be con ducted along broad, comprehensive and patriotic lines, and contain either selected scraps, or original contribut ions. from our correspondents. It should be from one column to two and a half columns in length, and contain something to interest every body. It should discourage ingnor- ance, and encourage knowledge. It should seek to benefit its readers physically, mentally, and morally. It should be of a high moral tone, and without the faintest trace of bigotry. And, for the sake of harmony, it should taboo political and religious subjects. I believe that such an innovation as this could be introduced into the make-up of The Ledger at a small cost to the publisher, while it would add immensely to its circulation. I have an idea as to how such a depart ment could and should be conducted, which I believe would work perfectly. ’ We would not. of course, think of doing away with our regular corres pondence, in case we should insti tute “The Literary and Educational Department.” I intend to add more lo the paper, rather than take any thing from it. We are proud of our scattered correspondents, and wish them to continue their letters. 1 will close for this time; shall have something more to say along this line in a future letter. Senator-elect W. H. Stewart, of Rock Hill, passed through this sec tion yesterday. Miss Ida Love is spending a few days at Mr. G. R. McCarter’s, sewing. Mr. Arthur Mcfee is building a new bridge near his home, across Bullock’s creek. Some of our young ladies are hav ing new dresses made and buying new “Merry Widows.” Now, don’t quite scalp me for this; I won’t say any more. Mr. Roy Meek Hogue is “taking the country.” this week, in search' - of cjiiekens. He wants at least twenty- five, he says. Now, Roy, don’t go to speculating, for that’s a bad business. As next week is Thanksgiving week, my next letter will be dated Monday, November 30. Farewell! gentle readers, till we meet again.

Macedonia, Nov. 21.—Macedonia wants to push to the front in regard to sending in data to The Ledger. We have wished often that we could write letters like “J. L. S.” or “C.,” from Ravenna. We simply can’t manage it as they do some how, for we guess there is as much news about Macedonia as any other nice locality. We shall persevere, how ever, and probably will do better in the future. The main thing uppermost in our mind at present is the Woman's Missionary Society which we have so recently organized. There is so much interest manifested by the members, and they seem so enthu siastic in their work. The members are taking time in arranging the program, and each member feels that she has her part to do. Measles and whooping cough have made their appearance in our neigh borhood. Mr. Charley Price is still right sick with measles. 41 We are having a bright, invigorat ing Sunday school at Macedonia this winter—a thing we haven’t had for year. We generally hibernate through the winter, but probably will success fully pull through this ‘time. We could hardly do otherwise with such a superintendent as we have. He seems to be always striving to do something that will entice the schol ars to attend. He certainly deserves the love and esteem of all. We shall tell in our next letter who our super intendent is and what we have on the table at Macedonia Sunday school that is creating quite an excitement Just at present among the young peo ple. We invite ye Ravenna people up to our union meeting which meets at Macedonia Friday, Saturday and the fifth Sunday, inst. All churches are cordially Invited—we will entertain you to the best of our ability. We are always glad to have the Gaffney people come up and join us. Therefore, we shall look for you Most of our people are through sow ing wheat and other grain; also potatoes have been taken up and put away. A great many have made an abundance of fine yams. Mrs, C.
