C. 1 I am sending you l>y today's mail 1 in eagle's claw. This bird was \ :illed in the Indian Territory by a 1 hiake Indian named Hopolawa 1 iteatuby. The bird was killed in 1 Cgle County, I.

I^ast week a party I >f New Yorkers pulled oft' a very c uccessful hunt north of us in the 1 ndian Territory. During the hunt i ncighlxir of mine, C. I). Stiles, } md a New Yorker killed a bear 1 vhich dressed o50 pounds. It was i -hrcc years old, and the crowd killed <. 27 deer and a wagon load of wild nrkeys.

We take thef liberty >f saying that the monument for i which Mrs. Clifford has been en- I dcavoring to raise money enough to 1 erect will ho erected in the city of Union as it is designed to commem- J orate the Confederate dead of Union county and not of the entire Southern Confederacy. This monument will be erected either 011 the square of the Carnegie library or in the 1 center of Main street opposite the court house square. 1 JACK. THE FARMER. HAD A FINE CHRISTMAS. Christmas Tree and Entertainment at NewtHope Was Enjoyed by Everybody that Attended. Joncsville, S. C., Jan. 1, li>0(>. My hammer! Where is my hammer? My boys of two and four years have a great deal more use for the hammer than I do, and ivhen I do need it I can't find it. We were hammering around in ?uoh a hurry before Christmas the hammer got lost, and now 1 want to go to work and can't find the hammer. I called to the youngest hoy for it, and he said, "all gone." The oldest boy said I could have ins, out i man i want nis, i wanted nine, although it was kind in him :o offer his. I didn't wan't tq, Tinimer much anyway. We get a it-tie off anyway when we go hrough Christmas, especially when i\e have such a big time as wo have liad this Christinas. I want my joys to keep on hammering. I ivunt them to learn to do anything md make good and useful men. We had a good Christmas tree md a grand entertainment at New Hope which 1 think every one enoyed. There was a large crowd jresent. The different scene and lialogucs, speeches, etc., did great iredit to the teachers and children. Our two school teachers, Misses Summer and Whitlock deserve ;reat credit for their untiring energy and skill in the training the eliilIrcn. They arc equally as good as n the school room. 'Tis certainly i blessing to have such teachers in iny community. Jack says, God jless such teachers and help them :arry on their grand work. I will lot undertake to mention the differmt people that were present at the sntertainment. Sullice it to say hat we had a large crowd from Jnion and Jonesville and the sur oundiiig country. Some of our Jnion friends and some of the Venison boys came home with Jack md the babies, and 1 tell you we lad a grand old time. Mrs. Jack stepped around like she was young igain, and T believe that she did :ecl that way. She brought out hat great big old cake that had jlaek specks all through it. The joys wouldn't cat, but Jack and .lie girls did, and enjoyed it. You mo\7,**it is hard for me to refuse to ;at wjicn we have a little extra. 1 4 *: l. >? i uudt uiuutiuii ini v><iuiiitv # uiiuiuc-s. [t was truly good, and Mr. M. B. Summer's song. I thought Mr. Marshall had stepped and gone to o singing. Mr. Summer came ivith Jack and we just kept him ringing nearly all night long. The Christmas of lt)05 will be remembered when some of us older ones ivill'bc gone. So may it be. This s New Year. Let us start out ivith bright hopes and expectations ind with determination to apply mrselvos to the honorable avocaions of life. Love (iod and one mother for on this depends success j 11 all things. We can't make new lien nmfc'women out of ourselves, ,mt we can improve if we want to. Let's go to worlv with a mind de- j ;ermincd to make a mark some-1 vherc that will be here when we ire gone. One of the best marks hat we can make is to push our 'hildrcn to school, keep them up ind not get behind. Help one mother by kind words and actions, mil when the time comes to plant, Mont and then cultivate, then you an expect abundant harvest. Bye and bye Christmas time will :omc again. Jack ThkIakmeh.
