Sedalia, Feb. 4.?News is still a scarce article in these parts; nobody getting married even, but listen: I'll have to take that back now soon,' 1 believe. Mr. R. W. Chaney, of this place, is visiting relatives and friends in his old home town, Ninety Six, for a few days. Mr. J. M. Dukes, accompanied by his sweet little cousin, Minnie Lou Bobo, visited in Cross Hill from Saturday till today. Sir. Whllace Bailey, who has been railroading in Georgia for several months, is visiting his father, Mr. M. j \V. Bailey, of this place. I will never find fault with courting folks being loving, but right recently a couple were giving an exhibition on the public thoroughfare that did look a little out of place to older people. Yet if she was willing, I have no fault to find in him, for I have often heard that a kiss was bliss. Our Cross Keys fox hunters are still in the ring. Mr. W. T. Betsill and son Eddie, with Orin Hollis, had quite a lively chase Saturday morning. They caught a very large grey fox over on the Laurens side. Mr. W. R. Bobo and sister, Miss Mattie, of this section, arc off on a few days' visit to some of their special lady friends in Greenwood county. It becomes our sad duty to announce the death of Mrs. Sarah Sliettlesworth, wife of the late G. C. Shettlesworth. She was in her usual health up till Saturday evening, when she was taken suddenly with something like paralysis and died before midnight of the same night. She had been a conscientious member of the Methodist church for about lifty years, having joined at the early age of fifteen. She lived her religion in her every-day life and will be sadly missed by her church and community. She was laid to rest in the Padgetts Creek church yard Sunday by the side of her husband, who had preeeeded her two years. A large concourse of relatives and friends were present at the burial. Bailey and Murphy have their saw mill stationed in the Prospect corner and will get a large hill of sawing before they leave their present stand. Mr. J. R. Murphy and family spent Saturday night with Mr. Murphy's mother, Mrs. M. S. Murphy. lb lb Thief Caught in Store. James Duncan, colored, was caughl in Smith's store, hid under the show window, last Saturday night. He hatl made three successful trips but at last went to jail. He was seen in the stor? on Dec. 29th. just before closing time When Mr. Smith came ba dc to tin store, the back door was open, and about $2.40 in money was gone. It was supposed that the proprietor had frtr<rnit#?n f ft cTtnf thi? Knot /l/^r m?w1 some one had come in and gotten the money. He made it a rule to be very careful about closing the doors after that night. On January 5th, or the following Saturday night, James Duncan was in the store just before closing time. It was locked up carefully, but 011 Sunday it was found that the back door was open again. On Monday Mr. Smith examined the windows, doors, locks and the floor, both upstairs and down-stairs. That night he fixed every door and window so thai he could tell if any one came in an< | where he came in. Just as he war closing up, James Duncan was in tht store, but disappeared. Everything was closed and Mr. Smith went home Next morning he found the door opev again. He then knew very well thai he was locking someone up in the store, so he decided to keep it a secret and look every night before hi left the store. So, Saturday night Feb. 2, 1907, he caught the thief. He phoned to police headquarterand very soon Sergeant Evans aiu Policeman Gregory came to taki charge of him. Some say rogues an studying while honest men are asleep but Mr. Smith studied many a nigh to devise a means to catch this rogue The Limit of Life. The most eminent medical scientist; are unanimous in the conclusion thai the generally accepted limtiation o numan lite is many years below th< attainment possible with the advancec knowledge of which the race is now possessed. The critical period, thai determines its duration, seems to hi between 50 and 60 years; the prop^ care of the body during this decadi cannot be too strongly urged; careless I ness then being fatal to longevity Nature's best helper after 50 is Electric Bitters, the scientific tonic medicine that revitalizes every organ of the body. Guarnteed by all druggists. Oyster Supper. The oyster supper at Hebron church Saturday evening was quite a success In addition to the supper the ladies of the community carried nice cakes which added greatly to the occasion. They cleared thirty dollars, and the> desire to thank the people for theii generosity and good behavior. For T R( ft /? TRADE MARK *43LSi) u.r REGISTERED I F. S. ROYS ? Santuc Letter. Santue, Feb. 6.?We are having quite a spell of bad weather at present, j Much rain, very cold, and Tuesday morning quite a heavy sleet, which started to freeze Monday about noon, hanging on the trees and breaking some. The temperature, which fell rapidly, reached below freezing about noon Monday, although this was not extreme. The standard instrument registered J7 degrees Tuesday morning. The rainfall Monday and Tucs' day morning was 1.54 inches. Withal it is quite a contrast to January. The new school building for colored people had a narrow escape from being destroyed by lire Monday night. .Ihe stove Hue is _ot terra-cotta pipe, \ and it is cracked, and having a hot fire r Monday caught the ceiling; but in the I early part of the night, Coleman Kelly, t a negro man living near, discovered . it, but not until a large hole was burned in the celing and some joints . burned apart. Fortunately the tire I was extinguished. The house is quite large and was just completed the latter I part of last summer. I The bud of a Woman's Missionary . society, of Salem Baptist church, which was planted in this soil on the fourth Sunday in January, is showing evidence . of blooming, and with a little more time and culture we expect to see it a full-blown flower, and there is no shadow of a doubt that it will be the "flower of this flock." atid it ought to. i and should, for some of the most thorough-going ladies of this place are in it, and the other thorough-going on< s . are looked f?>r. It should le the ^ "flower," for one never saw earnest I' women take hold of anything of like , nature hut that they shaped it into . success. They get after the "indolent" fellows, and those fellows are not to > iar gone not to generally respond. Oil. , yes, they mostly have a better tact for [ such work than men. The ladies,? . Christian ladies,?will meet and work while men may be thinking of mean. ness; but we are not mean, down here, and I don't reckon they are mean anywhere else. They asked me to ;' speak for them,?and here I am trying I it. The last meeting of the society J was held at the home of the president. Mrs. J. T. Jeter, on the .toth of January. The next meeting will be held 1 on the i.tth of February at the home .'of Miss Stella Hobson. At present they are meeting at the different members' homes, while it is cold. | Now, here is wishing success to ; them. fj"Woman's heart is kitul and warm, ?j Her faults are trivial, small; 1 Her beauty lends to all a charm, 'I Her love atones tor all." m 'hat 'ove '?r the cause is Rood, and P love for humanity's soul is the cause. : | and prompts them to this toil, so fall " in men, fall in, and all aid them in 1 their work.
