The meeting will continue two days. It is something new and wo will be able to give more about its workings later on. I tee in Tins Times that Mrs. Ward, the prophet, tooth sajer and dairy voint has gone for one J. M. W. who had criticised her in a former communication to The Times. I bad really never read any of Mrs. Ward's letters or prophecies as I never thought enough of them to v Waste my time reading them. I think Mrs. Ward, Cariie Nation and the free sufferagist are all working for nttority, and I am surprised to find that such have thyr followers in this twentieth century. The election for Town Council for the ensuing year will come of! bore the 14th, and an election for a dispensary will he held the day fol lowing, so this is no off year for th< people of Jonesviile. The dispen aary will be defeated according to thi *** tinkiiur of the Telephone. It wouli be 4 great curse to "our U*n. Be Telephone did, however, sli] tip wot Jong since on a guess for i wedding in Jonesville end he ma; lip on the dispensary, but that is no the impression st this writing. The Alpha Mills and Knittin Mills were merged into one corpora tion aft the meeting of the stock! hole en last week, which will no donbt b to the interest of both mills. The sympathy of the people < our town goes out for Mr. and Mr D. B. Fant. of Santuc, in the s? and untimely death ef their soi Rodger, the work of the infernal hi poeket pistol. Mr. and Mrs. R. N. Harris, Brown's Greek, visited relatives our town yesterday. Mr. Charles 11ames, of Gaffer Mr. C. M. McWhirter, of Unic Mr. and Mrs. Munro Bailey, Spartanburg; Mr. J. A. Chambe of Kelton, were all in our town y * terday visiting relatives. A camp of the Woodmen of I World was organised here last w< with nineteen members. Mrs. John P. McKisaick, Pendleton, S. 0., visited the fam of W. II. S. Harris last week, on way to see her son, Jack MoKissi near Union.

Power of Bird Song, - Personal Notes, If I'm not ono too many wil tare to write again. Bat if no please pass me by for those wl ~ mare gifted. Some of the spandents have it within their to acquire a knowledge that e them to express themselves in to make their letters more is la| than others. Bat I'm 1 lucky. No greater foe to human progress exists than ignorance. Il i. has in every way added to the sum of human misery. Whefcr I think over the different" subject^ of which I desire to writo and arrange them in natural order, ic is a task for me. When ? read the good letters of the e correspondents I feel like taking a lfc "back seat."' I do so much enjoy reading the letters and especially " Mr. Bailey's and IleyDenver's. They term to think their heart's full and 8 send it out through the pen* Mr. r Bailey makes his letters so intcrcst0 ing by giving the names of the South 0 |flmlinUM that tin -* 'L .Nf mentioned Mr. T. Jeff Pow?i, J? near relative cf mine. He is getting old and his health is so impared ' that I hardly expected to see his 1 name among the list. I see that j Tiib Times has another new corre- < spondent from Cross Keys. Juanita 1 certainly writes a spicy, bright letter. I'm sure she will interest the readers of your paper. Juanita is one of my best friends. I She writes as if she had been sad and lonely. I suspect the arrival of the expected ono cast off the depression ot her spirits more than the singing of the birds or the lowing of cattle. We Bhould always be cheerful. It adds so much to the enjoyment of others, flow much comfort we can give to those who are sorely distressed. Finally if all would try to cultivate the spirit of true cheerfulness, timo would fly quickly, and there would be no more of those lobg ' days, which reem to have no ending. i We are having good prayermeetings at the Academy every Sunday k night, generally conducted by Uncle Robert Ray. Mr. Robert Riy is a 5 very old man but still has plenty of energy. Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Goro and 1 little son Leon are very sick with catarrhal fever. Little Leon ie ? thought to be improving, a Mr. Calvin Murphy, who has been f spending some time with relatives in * Spartanburg, has returned home. VYo are glad to welcome him back. 8 Mr. W. H. Wilburn visited friendat Enoree Sunday. Mess.

I thank him so much for his ' kind consideration and charitable act \ in taking the part of a defenseless woman. It is one of the kindest and 1 noblest things a man can do when 1 men like C. B. Bobo takes up his 1 pen in behalf of a woman. It shows so very plainly that he thinks of the mother of our dear Savior and of God's greatest gift to man?a good woman. The greatest gift of God to earth is man, the next is woman. | ' Man sinks beneath misfortune, And hope forsakes his breast, His boasted powers are all laid low When not by woman blest.^' Now without woman this would be a deadfully dark drcar^ abode and Oh how pitiful you poor men would be If the stLi'ing face of weman you could net see. ? ? a i t i ' 1 am so very grateiui ray nesri is filled with gratitude to fullness for the kind support on this good gentleman's part.
