? Silli.oII L?TTER. ? Shiloh, Sept. 29?I went up to the stock show at Fairvlow, Till? wuh my first trip. Well, I saw some very good stock, cattle, etc. The exhibits In all of the departments were vory good. Taking everything Into consideration, a large crowd was out for Inspecting, except some I saw who were lmhlhlng a little too heavy from the mountain dew and of course you see their see ing would he of the cross-eyed kind. As large a crowd as wns there, good behavior seemed to dominate. I saw some very good corn and cot ton en route. More sorry cotton than good. I talked with farmers Horn dif ferent section of Anderson, Greenville and Laurons and they seemed to think the crop has deteriorated five points from the last government report. Mr. Wood ford Wallace has gone to Greenville. He goes as salesman with J. C. Hums & Co.. the Red Iron Racket. Mr. Walter Gray, of Shiloh. hut now or Macon, Gn., visited his parents, Mr. and Mrs. /..

Mr. John McDowell is superintend ing a crow of hoys who wear the chains and snipes, for Mr. Stewart Pedon Greenville supervisor. O'POSSUIU hunting can bo heard on all sides these nights. Usually you ?will hear the 0'possum mangel! "Go on there old Trupe" while "old Trupe" harks along oil trail. Mr. Maxcy Wilson and family, after making a two weeks' visit to home folks and relatives here, has returned to their home in the land of the sky. Mr. Ralph Wilson left the other day for Mcltee, where he goes to preside over the school there. This Is Ralph's second term there. Frank Aborcrombio is studying his books again at Erskino college. Someone has suggested the teaching of the scripture more adequately, in the everyday schools of which wo bow in humble submission to the theory and more of "spare not the rod" too. Maybe crime would whittle down to II low ebb and our court house and jails would turn to a dirt dobber nest. When will the time bo 0' Solnh? Miss Rue in Wolff has left to take. charge of her school at Shady Grovo, Andorson county, between Willlamston and Helton. 'I'liis is Miss Hilda's third term over there. She makes a capital Schoolmistress, one whom the children like. Mr. John Gruydon and family, of Dials spoil! Sunday with Mr. W. L. Chostlno. Mr. (!. D. Armstrong and the Madam went up to Mr, J. I>. Graydon's of Dials, yesterday. Mr. Ht>hert Armstrong and family of Trinity Ridge, spent a few hours at Mr. W. M. Armstrong's yesterday en route homeward from a visit near Fork Shoals. The late fodder has been pulled. A good deal of pea vines and hay is to bo harvested yet. The time is ripe for the sowing of oats, clover and vetch, etc. Cotton seems to be bac k ward in opening but the price seems to ho soaring skyward. Hurrah for Wood row Wilson and McAdoo. The health of the community is fairly good. A Child's Death. On Sept. Pith, just as evening had faded into night, the Lord took from us our little school friend and Sun beam. She was sick only a short time. Among a little bed of dowers, she was laid to rest In the cemetery at Droad Mouth church on the 14th by which her little school-mates and teachers paid great respect by their little songs and marching. In her death our littl > band and school miss her sweet little face and kindly smile. Uttle Margaret was al ways ready to do whatever duty was put upon hoi". Her little deeds Of love, kind words and timid ways can never be forgotti n. We know that she is one more angel added to the great white throne. To her mamma, papa, little brother and sisters, we offer our profoundCSt sympathy, invoking God's richest blessing upon them in this time of their sore grief. We know that God doeth all things for the best so we bow In humble submission to Him, and say: "Thy will ho done", and re member that little Margaret, is only asleep with the angel?. "Her Teacher." Princeton, Sept. 29. Suffered Eczema Fifty Years- Now Well. Seems a lonb time to endure the awful burning, itching, smarting, skin-disease known as "tetter" an other name for Eczema.
