A GRAPE VINE MESSAGE
FROM FLORENCE CO.
FACETIOUS DISCUSSION OF CURRENT
TOPICS. INCLUDING
THE SNOW.
"Hello! Mr Editor:?"
"Yes, J? at the grape vine,
Central, Florence County, S C."
"What are we doing up here?
Why, we are now in the midst of
the worst snow storm we've had
for years and years."
"Oh, yes, this 'up-country' has
many disadvantages, as well as advantages.
What are you fellows
'way down in Old Williamsburg
doing these hard times, picking cotton,
eh? Better get through with
it before the frost is all gone, as we
up-country fellows win De airaia
then to go down and help you on
account of the malaria, don't you
- know?"
"What do you suppose Friend
Bass is doing? Out gathering flowers,
I guess, or sitting on his porch
fanning, and the water actually
freezing in my dining-room with a
big oak log fire burning, not 18 feet
away."
"Can't hear? Well, the vine is
frozen up at this end of the line. I
said I was sending you a whole
dollar; not a dollar with a hole in it,
but a perfect dollar long past due
for The Record; hope all others in
arrears will do likewise." (Now
we hear all right.?Editor).
"Say, those little labels you are
sticking on 'em now are worth their.
weight in gold to vou; hope they'll
prove so, at least. And is there
one whose soul's like clay, who reads
The Record and then won't pay? If
such there be he's a clay-eater sure, '
and should be disfranchised, and
i not allowed the great privilege of
voting for Gov Blease next sum?i
mer.
? "Yes, sorry indeed, I hadn't nary 1
rpossum to send you for Xmas, but 1
my dog died early in the fall. Yes,
<
yes, seems like a poor man's troubles '
never end. Sure, I did have some ;
shoats, but furnished so many barbecues
for the Bankers' Bank-ets up ;
here of late ? nothing you know
like tickling the palate for tackling '
the pocket?ha! ha! And nothing
now quite so bon-ton, as barbecued
pig at the Hal-cy-on." ;
"So, you see, I'm now completely
run short on 'em and the pig's all
up on that score for a while, at 1
least."
"No dispensary yet, you say, nor
blind-tigers, either! Well, I declare, J
you fellows must be great customers
of the mail order houses, and
I
tiio express company ought sure to i
give you cut rates on account o;l
the quantity handled."
\es, i.\ ail nil Hits let he Rec*i
orci conn. I'-gulaily and promptly,
too. 1 can"I w *!l do without it:1
have lots of good friends do "n
tot re yet that 1 still sympathize
with."
"Y-.-s. you are right; nothing 1 ik .
holding a sti't' upper iip and keeping
lots of quinine by you in those,
moloriol mrriiirw Wnll tVw snow is
still falling furiously up here: looks,
as if we were at the North Pole, or
as far in that direction as Dr. Cook
i
trot, at least. Feel sorry, too, for
those without plenty of wood or J
coal, especially the families of the
worth less fellows who herd up in
the towns to loaf around and are
not able to get wood to cook with
muchless have good fires to keep
their ill-clad children from suffering.
Noticed where eleven uied in
New York a few days ago from this
cause."
"Well Mrs. J? is preparing a
'fine gobbler for dinner and the j
savory odors from the stove-room
reach me now and then and have
put me to thinking, and oh, if I
only had the egg-nog, or even jest a
letle uv the nog, Mr. Editor, minus
the egg, to kinder whet my appetite,
but, alas, nary drapl"
And me sitting here, too, as McCutchen
would say of Vause, with
my mouth fairly driveling for it.
So long. Brother Wolfe, so long, i
Good luck and best wishes.

Mrs J L C Moore Dead.
Lake City,January 17,(Special):?
Our whole community was saddened
today by the death of Mrs Ada
Moore, the wife of Mr J L C Moore,!
a prominent merchant here in town. J
Mrs Moore had been suffering for'
the past several months, and although
her death was not unexpected,
it is none the less sad.
Mrs Moore was the daughter of the
late Dr M Kelly and the grand-:
daughter of Mr and Mrs S C Mc- J
Cutchen. She and her family have i
always been identified with Lake
City's best interests and her loss
will be deeply felt by her relatives
and scores of true friends.
Mrs Moore was 54 years old and
is survived by her husband, Mr J L
C Moore, one brother, Mr C M Kelly,
and one sister, Mrs J E Brunson of
Florence. She was a sincere Christian,
beloved by all who knew her.
We extend to the bereaved ones
our sincerest sympathy in*their
loss. P H A

head and face were pro tooted, as the ;
bees would sting his face ul! out of
shape and if lodged in his hair would
sit and sting untii they wore tired.
"lie was with as in the Hover find
one day. where the bees were unusual
ly thick. We were doddering' the
hay. or piling it in small piles against <
un approaching rain, and were pretty f
close to the mower. As rhe city chap
was stalking along between piles the
mower tore up the nest of some of
those little black bumblebees, and i
they made for the youngster from j
town. Rome one shouted, and the ,
threatened victim made for. a newly
piled 'dodder' of bay. In he went
headforemost until his bead and sboul
4ers were covered.
"But the bees didn't care about the
head and shoulders particularly. There
was a wriggling mass. It looked alive
and they went to it. and what they did
to the exposed part of that city chap
was c-plenty. A muffled yell from the
interior of the dodder followed, and
hay went scattering In all direetiona.
The city chap arose to frla feet madder
than a wet hen.
" 1 may be from the city and green,
he shouted, "but I think it is a mighty
mean trick to scare a fellow tike that
and then when be to trying to make
himself safe stick him with a pitchfork.
I can lick the man who did it.' "

jrnoon, over the local telephone,
rnt James Dean, a white man of
le Hebron neighborhood, in Wilani6burg
county, had accidentally
lot and killed himself yesterday
torning. It seems that Mr Dean
id Mr R L Mims had gone out in
le woods to get a load of wood,
[r Dean taking his gun along,
hey ran into a covey of partridges
id Air Dean killed two or three of
lem. While coming back to the
agon, and holding the gun by the
arrel, he attempted to cross a log,
hen the hammer of the gun struck
le log and the gun was discharged,
le whole load taking effect in the
sck, and completely severing the
igular vein. The wounded man
cpired almost instantly.
Mr Dean originally moved from
ydia.in Darlington county,to Johntnville,
in this county, and only
X)ut three weeks ago moved to the
antation of Mr Mims. He was a
)od citizen in every respect and the
hole community has been saddened
id shocked by his untimely death,
e leaves a wife and two children.
