The outlook at this minute is
hat Christmas will lxi rather dull,
ut it may liven up when it comes
ound on the "home stretch." I
iope so, anyway, but not on the
rhiskey line, and 110 doubt it will
e rowdy there, judging from the
jgs coming in every day.
Rev. W. H. White, filled his appointment
here yesterday. That
/as his last sermon here. He tenlered
his resignation as pastor here,
nd will go to Selma, Alabama.
Ie has a number of friends here,
nd all regret to see him leave this
leld.
I hear there will be a Christmas
>ce out at the school house near
lill Hill next Friday night, the
losing of the school taught by Miss
ribbs, of Union, for the holidays,
'here will be a Christmas tree at
he Methodist church here Christmas
night. These Christmas trees
ivo the little folks a great deal of
njoyment, and the bigger young
oiks a good chance to get off some
affy, if not presents.
Miss Clara Gilmore will be "at
lome" to quite a number of hor
riends Wednesday evening, Dec.
17th, and a motjt pleasant time is
nticipated. Her brother, Mr.
Uibrcy Gilmore, and Mr. Parham
eter and the Messrs. Paul and
Vilson Gee, Clemson cadets, will
K5 home for the holidays, and very
ikely Clemson colore will be worn
>y several in their honor.
Last week "Progress" had an
iditorial to this effect. "In 1776
he Imttle of Trenton was fought, |
csulting in the defeat of the British
Jed Coats. In 1905, the battle of
mllots at Trenton, 8. C., resulting'
n the defeat of the Red Noses." |
ro which, I will say, let no man be i
leceived, the "red-noses" are not
lefeated by any means. The dispensary
has been defeated in several
jounties, but not a "single rednose"
nor any ono else who wanted
liquor. Did any one think for a
moment that tho "red noses"
would bo defeated. I did not. I
knew the "G. M. I.," as some
called it, could bo voted out, the
State stop selling it, but the consumption
would not be lessened,
Voting out ono "G. M. I." has
created a big one, through the mail 1

WAITER DOWNING KILLED
IN KASKIUSCO, MISSISSIPPI..
The Fortune Teller With the Barkout
Amusement Company told Mrs. Downinn's
Fortune and Said She Would
Receive a Telegram Containing Unpleasant
New$.
Mrs. Ida Downing, a daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Parks, of
West End, received a telegram from
Dr. A. C. Coleman, of Kasciusco,
Miss., on Wednesday, that her husband,
Mr. Walter Downing, had
been fatally shot the night liefore,
and Thursday morning Mrs. Downing

Mr. Downing was a native of

He has l>een gone for several years,

good machinist. Mrs. Ida Downing
says the woman who was with
the Barkout Company here last
week told her fortune, and among
other things that she told Mrs.

as the foregoing account shows. 1
We sympathize with Mrs. Down- '
ing and her little girl, the oly child 1
of her marriage with Mr. Walter
Downing.
A Cliat About Our Homes. |
Editor Home and Farm:
In the present generation we find I
a tendency to drift toward the city
hoth among our girls as well as our
boys. Country life seems too stale
or tame. In most cases this is a
fault of the parent, not the child, i
As a rule, the boy's ideal of a man |
is embodied in the father. If the j
father is a success, nine time out of
ten his child will succeed.
Children raised by thrifty country
parents will always reverence their
childhood home, be their avocation
what it may. Memory will not
have a more sacred spot than the
paths over which their child feet
pattered trying to keep up with
father or mother doing their daily
lahor.
But, alas, we ofttimes meet the
child of a broken-down aristocracy
who has l>een taught that the soiling
of the hands by hard, honest
labor is a disgrace. In such a one
we generally find the one most
eager lo get to town" and the ?25 i
a month counter-hopping job, and
in a few weeks is ready to borrow ?1
from his country cousin who comes ~
in to see the "sights" of the city.
Now, my friends, don't understand
me as speaking disparagingly
of our city-bred and raided cousins,
who wouldn't know what to do out
in the country, however bright or
clever they might be. They have
their place, a most responsible one,
in the concentrated business marts
of the world.
What 1 would impress upon your
minds is the awfulness of the fast
growing restlessness and dissatisfaction
of our growing generation with
the common country home of today.
The great national question of the
day is not, "What are we going to
do with the negro,"or "tariff". It
is more vital, more individual and
more spiritual. It is, "What arc
we going to do to vitalize the minds
of our boys and girls at home, and
make it the mighty throne of inspiration?"
I hear some one say,
"You arc all theory. Give us a
hasis to work upon." If you are
looking for a fixed set of rules for
making a home happy and attractive,
you are looking in vain. The
governmcntof no two homes is likely
to be the same. Homes arc as
varied in disposition as the minds
of men. What makes one laugh
might cause tears for another-.
Have the making of home a place *
oi joy, pleasure ana pront, as any
other part of your daily work. Do
not save the frowns of business
worry for your fireside. Do not
cncouroga common gossip among'
your children. Do not teach them
to measure manhood by the man's
capacity to make money. Do not
teach them that money makes you
a good man. ^
Oftentimes the first question
asked al>out a stranger is, "How
much money has he?" 1 try not ,
to he pessimistic, to think we, as a
nation, are growing stronger in the
attributes of ideal manhood, yet it
hard to do. In the mignty struggle
for power, fame and position we
have been Jed astray by false gods.
Let us go back to find ths old
trail marked out by our pioneer
tamers, anu wiin one nngnty voice
say, "[ had rather he rignt than
President."
No place is more suited for this
than the fireside, and no fireside
more than around which is gathered
a goodly number of robust, rosycheeked
country children. Unsophisticated,
uncontaminated, they
will drink in knowledge. Why not
teach them right?
