Everybody uses water. A drilled
well is the only means of obtaining a
pure, cold ami unfailing supply. Dug
wells and springs are simply ces* pools
for collecting disease breeding surface
drainage. S5 per cent, of typhoid
fever is contracted from bad water.
A Keystone Drill will penetrate the
bed rock and tap the pure, unfailing
streams below. All surface water is
securely cased off. A drilled well
rarely goes dry in the most protracted
drouth. It is safe.
There is more money in a Keystone

instead of three months out of twelve.

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.

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

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

Tomorrow will be dying.”

“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.

Some of our young ladies are hav

Macedonia Notes.
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. P. Harris visited her moth
er, Mrs. Ellen Clary, Thursday. One
of Mrs. Clary’s twin boys, Monroe, Is
down with fever; though he Is con
valescing now. '
We Macedonia people haven’t many
chickens to brag of; but If our thief
isn’t sharp some one will get him yet.
