this busy woman's world is progressing.
Perhaps it would interest
them to know that we are
not so busily engaged in affairs
of our own. that we do not have
time to wish for our home paper
to be filled with cheerful, newsy
letters. It gives the Williamsburg

T strides of progress that are being
made elsewhere.

HARPERS HAPPENINGS.
Truck Prospect Fine?A Shad Supper
-Local and Personal Matters.
: | Harpers, March 23:?A number of1
town people went on a fishing frolic
last Friday night. We left Harpers j
at 5 o'clock p m for Pine Tree lanu-'
* j iBg on Black river, where our crowd
was met by quite a lot fishermen and
1 in a short time we had shad in abun,
I dauce. We soon had a "pine bark
, | stew'' which all present enjoyed
j greatly. After feasting until 12 or
; 1 o'clock our party had all the shad
, i they wanted to take home. This
well known, historic landing on
! Black river furnishes great fishing
,'sport for the people of Williamsburg,
the name "Pine Tree" being
synonymous with "shad" hereabouts
daring the season.
Mr Arthur Hardie, one of Harpers'
bright jonng men who has
spent the past two years in Memphis,
Tenn, has returned to his old home,
bringing with him a fair bride. His
many friends here extend a cordial
* i ii i- - i i
welcome ooin to nun auu ma lair
lady.
Some of oar farmers have planted
beans, cantaloupes and cucumbers
and have line stands. There is also
a lot of other truck planted from
which good results are expected.
We have had low freight rates granted
by the G & W R R, also crates
and baskets can be bought cheap,
so that if there be no backset, we
will have a quantity of truck to ship
in the near future. The writer will
? have cabbages ready to ship by April
15. If truck raising succeeds iu

the honor must be given to your

our efforts to organize an association.

CONTEST LASTED TWENTY YEARS.
Long Drawn Out Card Playing Contest !
between VeteransTraverse
City, Mich, March 21:?
Two Civil war veterans, John W j
Wallace and D W Lazelle, have just i1
completed in their home village of
Manceiona, a card-playing contest!1
that has lasted for twenty years.
Two decades ago an agreement wasj
made that the village championship 1
should be accorded to that one of!
the two soldiers who could win ten,
consecutive games.
Night after night, alternating between
the two homes of the contest- 1
ants and omitting Sundays, the
contest has gone on for a score of '
years. !
Seyeral times Wallace id nine '
games to his credit, only to lose the
tenth to Lazelle. But patiently and
carefully the score was kept, and it 1
is said that in all the twenty years
of playing not an angry word was 1
spoken by either. '
When Wallace won his tenth con- 1
secutive game Wednesday night, 1
Lazelle promptly challenged for 1
another series, but Wallace declined,
on the ground that neither he nor (
his opponent would live long enough
to complete another contest.

TWELVE AND A HALF CENT COTTON
Predicted by Atlanta Constitution Cor
1 a n
ruspucuenr ujves hhjsuusThe
following letter w
in a recent issue of#^ Atlanta -oonstitution.
We publish it. believing
that it will interest a large number
of our readers:
Editor Constitution: Cotton is
now selling below the cost of production.
As a business tip to spinners
and consumers, I would advise
them to load up right now with all
they can hold.
From the present outlook the
staple is going to 12 1-2 cents or
higher this summer aod next fall,
and it is going there to stay! No
amount of manipulation can bring
it down.
And these are the reasons:
We have bad the worst aod wettest
spring in eighteen or twenty
fears. The gronnd is moist and
soft. Farmers can't plow effectively
under a week. And when
they do, all the guano in the world
won't help much, because of the water
in the soil.
I believe the crop will be reduced
east of the Mississippi river 12 1-2
per cent.
The farmers have found out, at
last, from sad experience that they
can't pay $1 a bushel for com, 12 1-2
cents a pound for meat and $200
for mules.
Therefore, I am convinced they're
going to plant more corn than in
auj year since the Civil war, and a
great many of them will ;e their
own mules.
High corn : ^i^eat ,e done
more and will o more . reduce the
acreage than an. other one factor, I
think.
If we raise all our corn and a portion
of our meat, sow peas and make
our lands more productive, we can
cut down, by a tremendous per cent,
the number of hands needed to take
care of the cotton crop. And that
means lesseniug the cost of producing
cotton and a higher price.
If the farmers of the South follow
this plan religiously for three years,
we will be able to price onr own cot
ton.
We will see no more the spectacle
of the spinner giving the farmer
what he pleases. The boot will be
where it ought to be on the other
foot, like it is in every other branch
of supply and demand.
We can, too, look for more damage
from the boll weevil than any
previous year. They thrive and
propagate on a warm winter, and
they will get their work in early.
It will not be long, either, before
they will be spreading to the hitherto
immune States of the Atlantic
coast

Read what Nicholas Lang, the largest retail
grocer In Savannah sags about P. P. P.
1 r. V. LIPPMAN. Savannah, Ga..
Dear Sir:?
For many jean I consumed much medicine, and in fact tried every means in
my power to get cured of that terrible disease, rheumatism, which had undermined
my health. I visited Hot Springs, Ark., without gaining relief, and at last in sheer
desperation I took P. P* P. (Lippman's great remedy), and was in a short time en- tirely
cured. In the eight yean since that time I have not had a symptom of rheumatism.
P. P. P, did the work to my entire satisfaction and made a quick and permanent
cure.
Yours truly,
Nicholas Lang.
