Filbert, Jan. 14.—The cold wave which was said to be coming some time last week, arrived on last Thurs day morning, and for several days we had some of as severe weaklier as 1 remember ever to have seen, without something falling. We thought it would snow or rain, but it did neither. But this (Monday) morning as I write, the weather is once more suitable for out-door la bors; and my near neighbors are making use of it. The roads are in a bad way Just now, although some are still wagoning over them. All of our people manage to keep them selves pretty busy, these days, at one thing and another. The minister, Rev. II. J. Mills, was to have made several calls In our sec tion the latter part of last week; but the cold weather prevented his com ing. He makes his home at Clover. Several members of Mr. H. S. Love’s family are on the sick list at this writing, although they are, I am glad to say, improving somewhat. Mr. J. Lowry Bolin, of Smyrna, took supper with us Saturday night. Mr. P. B. McAfee had a house covering on Friday. One fellow said that he remained up on the house all day. I think he must have been somewhat “gritty’' If he could stand such cold weather as we were having just then without shivering. Mr. J. R. Hogue, one of my near neighbors, drove wire fence “steep les” all day Friday, cold as it was. Mr. Hogue is somewhat advanced In years and his health is note especially good; but he doesn’t know what it is to give up. Well, and it’s the Farmers’ Union again. But I think that if the farmer would at once begin to raise his own supplies, he would soon "come It,” as the saying is. Mr. Jim Burns called on us for a few minutes Saturday morniug. He is quite an interetfeing talker, but I don’t see much of him of late years. Several of he men and boys of this and other near sections are trapping for minks and musk rats, this sea son; hut with very indiff "‘nt suc- (oss, so far as one is able to learn. These animals seem to be very scarce. Trapping is, however, a pay ing thing, minks bringing anywhere from two to six dollars a hide. Although cats are quite plentiful in this section, rats seem to be just as plentiful. The health of this section is pretty HOLLY SPRINGS. Personal Items from That Part of the County. Holly Springs, Jan. 16.—We are having some very unpleasant weather Just now; some days seem like spring time and some so cold that we cannot do anything but "sit In the corner” and keep a log fire. School has not been very large, on account of the bad weather, as It was too rough for the children to go. We have a large school, with about ninety pupils enrolled. I like the school very much. Miss Vernlce Mintz has been spend ing a few days in Boiling Springs with relatives. She returned home Saturday. We are very sorry to state that Mr. S. R. Humphries is very sick. He has been 111 for a long time; but we hope he will recover. Mrs. W. S. Wood Is in Boiling Springs spending a few days with her children, Mrs. H. W. Galllmare and Dr. J. W. Wood. Your scribe spent a few days in Bolling Springs recently, with our cousin. Miss Beaufie McCraw. We certainly had a fine time, and are go ing back again soon. We would like to hear from “School Boy” again; he is liking his job so well that he has forgotten to write us a good letter to The Ledger. We al ways like to hear from old Drayton- ville. Mrs. Jane Bailey,, of Gaffney, spent a few clays with us recently. She re turned home last week. Our school teachers, Mr. Rollins, ami sister, Miss Bettie, went home this afternoon to spend Saturday and Sunday with their parents. They ex pect to return Sunday to resume their work. Mr. Willie Jolly made a short trip to Boiling Springs Friday. Mr. Adolphus Green and brother spent last Saturday night and Sunday with their sister, Mrs. B. M. Ellis. We are having a good Sunday school at Champ’s Creek, and hope it will continue to grow. They are go ing to organize a Sunday school at I.avonia church Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock. We would like to hear from some one in this neighborhood writing for The Ledger, for we cannot write much of a newsy letter that would be Interesting to readers of the pa per. We would thank our friends very much if '..hay will give us all the news they know of. 1 Blue Bird. A POSITIVE CURE FOR INDI GESTION. If you have indigestion, your food ferments in the stomach and bowels. It does more: it decays, and the nu tritious matter which should go to make new blood decays with it, and this leads to an impoverished condi tion of the blood, to i 'rvousness, bll- llousness, constipatioi, rick head ache, bad breath whk disgusts your friends, and cfcher disagreeable and unpleasant conditions. And all this trouble is caused by the food that doesn’t digest, but fer ments and ofeimes rots In the stom ach. And fermentation is caused by the stomach not being strong enough and energetic enough to thoroughly mix the food with the digestive Juices. MI-O-NA is responsible for tens of thousands of cures. In fact. It Israoh a positive cure for Indigestion and all stomach troubles that it is guaran teed by The Gaffney Drug Co. to cure or money back. The price of a large box of Ml-o-na tablets is 50 cents, and they are sure to promptly relive the worst case of indigestion or gastritis.

What astonishes the visiting British er most is the manner in which every kind of immigrant to the linked States adapts himself to the prevailing ideas about Englishmen. In the course of conversation with the noble Italian who condescends to brighten one end of the Britisher, i he visitor informed the bootblack that he was an Englishman—and Englishmen had a great respect for Italians, and had entertained Gar ibaldi In grand style. ’Tnglees! Ha! ha! Inglees!” said Mr. Dago In soft, musical tones. "Ha! They splc no good, dey droppa da haftch!” N. Caldwell. Post cards are still about as popu lar as ever. Uncle Sam’s mall bags are tull of them. There is more printing done, and books are cheaper now, than ever before. I have for sometime had It In my mind to write an article on the pass ing show. I did intend to write it for our Christmas issue, but for some reason or other I failed to do It. I live right, near Vhe public road, and as I write I can see all that passes by. And to the silent, thoughtful observer this “passing show” furnish es much material for writing. It Is indeed a fruitful field for such as wish to make use of the material therein afforded; and in this little article I Intend to try to point out a few of the lessons which one can, if one will, learn from "the passing show.” There is always slmebody or something passing by. Sometimes It may be only a negro, either walking or riding, but more often riding. Sometimes iv Is one, two, or three wagons of cord wood or something else for market. Sometimes it will he somebody moving their place of abode—or rather, moving themselves, as one can’t very easily move a “house and land,” as the HtMe boy said. Sometimes it will be several buggies, filled with happy, jolly, dusky passengers. And now and then one may see well-dressed, fine- looking people passing by In stylish, up-to-date vehicles. But I seldom see any one pass, under the influence of "fire waVer,” I am glad to say. Sometimes I will see either a stray dog, cow, hog, or maybe several of them, whenever I chance to look up from my writing. And sometimes I have seen rabbits hopping about in the fields near my home. But always I have Vhe little birds near me. Sometimes the hunters will come near enough to my home for me to see the chase, and then I have to go out and “encourage the hunters," I do vhis, although I cannot help feel ing a pang of sadness for the poor, hunted inhabitants of field and forest. I could go on for several more pages, hut will only say here tha/l it Is always so with the world. And k will be so until time ends. The pass ing show will always be the passing show. Ben Hope.
