I MA?DCN NEWS | Maddi Di Jan. 7.?We all greet the new year with grateful hearts. Though In the old year gone we met disappointments and financial revers es, yet we turn our faces bravely to the Incoming year and let each one Of us determine by the help of God to <l<) as Uncle Snuke Hit Hob in the charming little book, "Diddle. Dumps and Tot"?"to do the very bos' We klu!" The last daxa of 1012 wore very much saddened for us In the death of our paternal uncle, O. C. Cunningham, who died In a hospital at Spartanburg, on Dec. 28th, follow ing an operation for appendicitis. He had many friends and u largo family collection, who sincere;/ mourn his death. He was a good citizen, a kind neighbor and an Indulgent father. Our heartfelt sympathy to the dear aunt and the children who are today bo sorely grieved. We too, know what It means to hear the clods fall on the coffined form of a father loved. God be merciful in this, their hour of Qethsemanae, Among those who were with friends and relatives here during the holi days were Mr. and Mrs. Simpson Bailey and three little girls, of Sedalia Mrs. Clyde Martin and children, of Greonvillo and Mrs. Frank Martin and children of I.aurens were with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. .lohn ft. Tlnsley. Messrs. Ben and Walker Martin 'of Knoree and Mr. and Mrs. Larry Mar tin-of Clinton, were the guests of their grand mother, Mrs. M. T. Allison. Miss Ethel Bryson of the county hospital was a recent visitor to home folks here. Mr. Shaw Cunningham of Clinton, but who is for awhile with his moth er near Mt. Pleasant) visited his sis ter. Mrsv (1. 11. Flnley, recently. Miss Juanlta Martin is at home again after spending the fall in Spartan burg. Several cases of colds in the neigh borhood. Messrs. .lohn It. and Claude Flnley and John L, Flnley are among the sufferers. Did any one else except the majori ty of the Inhabitants of our little town rise up last Thursday night when the wind blew so fearfully? About two I roused the little lad and had a light made (which was a very foolish thing to do, some of the neighbor., said). I can testify to the fact that all did the same, for as I peered out in the darkness I saw a light glimmering in every home. Rip! Rip!! went the wind as it tore a blind from its hinges and sent it smashing against the porch banisters. "What is it. Mamma?" asked the little boy sleepily as he snuggled down un der the cover, "is it 'Kablbo knock er?' ' I had just composed my nerves from the crash of the blind, had put, the light out and was dozing off to the land of nod. when horrors! the j whole side of the room was ablaze With light! "Get up Jip, quick, there's a fire somewhere!" Investigation proved it to be the reflection of the electric headlight of a freight train stalled on an up-grade just below our house, but there was no more sleep: here. Mr. John L. Finley and family who, had just moved in their new house near here were so uneasy (as It had not yet settled and is on a very high place? they went up to their father's \ nearby. Sevecal houses around were partial ly unroofed and other minor damag es and so far as I can here all the inhabitants that dwell in two story houses were up and ready to depart, as the houses rocked so. The many friends of Mrs. Lldle Macnen will be delighted to hear that in the sunny clime of Florida, hi-.r health Is comln? back to her. Our girls in Winthrop: Misses Kate and Azll Wofford and . MIhh Ruth Brown, after spending the holidays at home, have returned to school. Mr. J. A. Wofford who Is now able to return to his work again, was with homefolks for the week-end. The many friends of Mrs. Mattie Teague Robertson and little Christine will be glad to hear that she arrived safely home In Birmingham. Ala., af ter, a pleasant visit here during the holidays. "Let me impress upon you," said one little maM earnestly. "The Im portance of having a weekly letter In The Advertiser. Every Thursday with out fall, at 11:16 I go to one of the girl's room to whom The Advertiser comes to read It. I always *feel I've been cheated out of a great deal when there Is no' letter marked Madden News." Encouraging, Isn't It?

NEW YEAR GREETINGS. * To the Writers who Weekly Chroni cle the Various Items of News of Local Happenings from over the ? County, Greeting: It is with genuine pleasure that I send, through the columns of The Advertiser, sincere New Year greet ings. To the one who sounds forth the praises of Hillside, the garden spot of the county (in his estimation) though I'd like here to Inform him? "there are others"! Though he has but recently entered our ranks, yet since he came with his cheery week ly letter (even though he does blow the horn for Hillside rather loudly) I often wonder how wc did without his letter before. From Hillside to the pretty little town of Cross Hill Is a right good sweep but from that good ly little city there has come a weekly letter) and if I mistake not, by the same correspondent since The Adver tiser was founded) that Is ever worth the reading?and in things that per tain to the uplift of all that is good in civic life?you will find the Cross Hill correspondent standing square to front (though I don't mind telling you dear fellow quill driver, that once in the long ago I considered yon on the wrong side! ) .lust a short step to the hustling town of Mountville?though the go ings and comings of her citizens are very nicely chronicled, yet we can but miss the versatile writer 01 oth er days and we dream of "the harp that once through Tara's halls"?we will gladly welcome this genial soul among us again from the little town of Waterloo. And here's to the ever faithful lit tle lady (I don't know really, but don't any one try to convince me that any "mere man" could so grace fully and fluently chronicle events as does the one who hails from the am bitious sister city of Clinton.) Dear staid old town! How could you ever get it into that steady head of yours that It was time you were being a capilol of a county and that Mus grove. Methinks when the voting time comes, you will bear in no un certain tones from the "sovereign vot ers" of the independent state of Jacks. The verdict will be?"While wo love Clinton some yet we love Laurons more"! And so it goes all over the county. From Poplar Springs to Tylorsvllle, from Princeton to EDkom there comes weekly letters that tell us of friends and "their going out and coming in." There is no use waiting till the grave closes over one before voicing the appreciative word. Personally and I believe I voice the sentiment of all local correspondents, I wish to tell the editor that he is giving us a pa per worth while. In all his editorials he has pro/en himself to be the up holder of all that Is for the good of South Carolina. I for one do not be lieve that "all newspapers are liars!" To the editor, to each and every one of you who give us weekly let ters may the year 1013 be generous and kindly and friendly. \ah each of us as we give the little bit of neigh borhood news, also give a push now and then to uplift the state I feel we all love. There's a very Important subject now before us?one that should be agitated till It ceases to bo a thing "hoped for" but one that real ly "Ik"?that Is compulsory education. Tlr: Hillside booster has already vot ed aye?blesg him! Can't we make It unanimous ? To accomoll'h ?nyth'ng. little fol lows like us, must do the agitating Oh! the dignity, and the power In that phrane "We, the sovereign peo ple" -to educate our citizens up to realize It* Let rjg accomplish something in the year 1013 and then If the ?easons fall u? not we'll have a banquet next New Year?the long suffering editor (that has to read for 62 weeks such scrawl ing as mine) can sit at the head while the gentle little lady (I'm sure not of man) from Clinton can be on bis right The dean of the correspondents? CrOfl Hill?on his left?the versatile one now of Waterloo, can be master of ceremonies and the rest of us lit tle fry can be here and there about tiie board and looking as knowing an the wisest (and I'll lend in that!!) May peace, happiness and prosperi ty be with each of you and those dear to you in the year of our Ixml PJ13. Affectionately, Aunt Kate, Madden Correspondent. Jan. 1. 1913. Mrs. A. R.
