"Good evening Captain! iiow
do Christmas limes serve you? Js
it too cold to run that land tomorrow?
II it is mv trip is not
lost a n* way for 1 have been
wanting to see you a long time."
"Get down, get down, you're
pearly frozen* now, go in the
house to the fire. 1'il take your
horse,"
"All right, where's Mil and
Miss Lizz i?''
All in the house go right in."
"Good evening Mi?." "Miss
L\zza what are you all driving at
these Christmas times?" "Oh
we've just Uirougu supper,
eat supper here before dark.
Warm and come right in the
dining room.''?"That's right, I'd
Jove to live with you old people
who Jove soon suppers.
**'H?ve some coffee, try some of
the turkey and''?uNo, no meat
to night, biscuit, cheese, potato
pone, cocoanut pie, cakes^kc. <fce.
make the supper already too
good!"
"Well Captain, you find it pretty
cold feeding up: but tell me
where did you raise all those big
2-vear-old barrows? how manyi
are you going to kilf 'this year?"'
'Well, about 40, but some are
smaller."
But tell me, Captain, ab.iui
the cholera; how can you keep
so many hogs?"
"Well, you see, I have not
been bothered with the hog chol?
n.iturni'inr vear
era since* me ?
when my hogs ale so many cater
pillars, and took the cholera and
so many died."
' But, Captain, did the hogs eat
the caterpillar.-?1'
' Why yes! they would go to
the bunches of caterpillars where
they lay like swarms of beqs on
the sides of the trees near the
ground and just gorge themselves."
"But say, Capt Johnson, in
^^earnesf. dl.l the hogs eat them?'
"" - * :"1" iliou Hii1 ;ind

the cholera killed them like
sheep."
Weld Wei ! I remember that
caterpillar year when they ate
every green leat all along LynchV
river swamp, and I don't think
you could find a green black gum,
or pop-ash !eal< from Pee Dee to
. the K It bridge at Effingham and
bow much farther I know not."
"But 1 don't know how it was
at Pee Dee swaiups. How was
it, Captain?"
' Well, I tell you, they fell 111
the river and drilled in drifts. I
went fishing in the old dead river
aud caught - the- fish under the
caterpillar drift, the live ones on
top would.crawl up the boat sides
until the gunnels were covered
about 6 inches deep with caterpillars,
and they crawled all over
me. No use to knock them off,
they came too fa+t."
"Well, here's the doctor, tell us,
Dr, about those caterpillars in Pee
Dee!*' *'
Well, I tell you one thinTs,
they whipped out some ratt harids
who tied up with an inch manila
rope at the old dead rtver and
tried to cook; but before they
could cook, the pan was. running
over with the caterpillars: So
they went, back home; but the
worms climbed on the rope until
it was bigger than one of the logs
in the rail, and the floating drifts
of caterpillars jaifimed the raft
until the rope broke."
"Mr Covington was running a
turpentine still, at Savage and
had to quit."
i4He skimmed off the caterpillars
in the still and had a pile of
them as big as big as a potato
bankwand a? high as your head
an(5tttev stunk worse than two
J ,
dead hoWes; the spirits were red
and stunk so it would not sell
and it was sent back to him."
"Well, Well, Dr, that was a
scourge almost equal to one of
Pharoah's plagues."
4,I remember I was apprehensive
abou! the nnw year, lor il
mi ... i .:^i t tw\n ,
every caterpillar iaiu unw
ami all hatched out, what wouid
become of us? Woul^ they no'
eat up the lorest and kill Hie
trees."
"But the <rood Lord in hi? kind
providence caused a warm spell
of weather 111 February, which
lasted so long the eggs hatched
out. thinking it was spring. But
March brought a cold spell which
retarded the budding of the trees
until the worms ? arv< d to death
in the cold and for the want ol
leaves to eat."
"But. Contain, tell us more
about the hog cholera and how
you raise so many hog>?"
' Well, I tell you, I get some
pulverized sulphur and carry on a
drizzly day, and while the hogs are
eating I sprinkle it on them and
on the corn and in a short while
they seem to clean off, look fresh
and grow right on "
"I have not iiad any cholera
among my hogs since the caterpillar
year. I had one old sow to
die w th old age after I had raised
100 pigs from her,but no cholera."
' Well,* Captain, I've kept you up
long enough. Let's go to bed,
for in the morning 1 must go back to
I'ossuM Fork. t

It is like the penny in the (
milk because it works and (
because there is something- 4
astonishing about it.
Scott's Emulsion is simply (
a milk of pure cod liver oil j
with some hypophosphites (
especially prepared for delicate (
stomachs. *
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste .
and the remedy takes just as ,
naturally to the children be- <
| cause it is so perfectly adapted <
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children Scott's Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treatment
We will send you
the penny, ,4 e., a
sample free.
Be sure fhat this picture in
the form of a label is on the
wrapper of every bottle ot
Emulsion you buy.
