= ? Jonesville, News Letter. Jonesville, S. C., November 12. Well, the echoes of the late elec- < tion are all that we people In the ' South could desire, for one that can 1 remember the general elections as far j back as I can, which covers a period of ' about sixty years. There is none that ] . has been more satisfactory to our ' country than the present one. I weli < remember the first time I ever voted - was in the election of 1860, when j Abraham Lincoln was elected the first Republican president our nation ever | had and of course what followed is i well known to our people. i While we are all rejoicing that ; Woodrow Wilson is elected president, i some of us are sad at the triumph of i ine dispensary election in the county. , It seems that the "dog will return to ' its vomit again and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire." : Another thing that pleases our ' people is the rise in the price of cot- ! ton, but it came rather late for 1 much of the fleecy staple has been < sold at about eleven cents. Mr. J. W. Gregory and Hon. Mac- 1 beth Young of Union were in Jonesville last week on business. Mr. Geo. T. Gault of Kelton was in . Jonesville last Saturday and he brought a potato with him that he raised this year that weighs 9 pounds. Mrs. S. A. Porter, Mrs. H. P. Mc- 1 Kissick and Mrs. Elizabeth Littlejohn, all of Jonesville, are quite sick. Mrs. Porter and Mrs. McKissick are old and have been afflicted and infirm fo some time Mrs. N. B.

Mr. Ariail has but two more appointments at Jonesville this conference year. 1 Mr. Thomson Eubanks, a Confed- ' crate veteran, died at Trough Shoals a few days ago. Mr. Eubanks was ' reared about Union and was a member ' of company A 5th S. C. Volunteers, 1 and made a good soldier all through the late war. ' i John D. Rocefeller and J.

Thursday,Oct.31, was the birthday of >ne unique in American history?Mrs. tl rom Thumb. She was Miss Lavinia Warren of Massachusetts. Twice has C she married titled husbands, "Gen." e rom Thumb and Count Primo Magri. Both, like herself, were midgets. E rhese little people were not malformed ii or dwarfed in any particular, but were merely midgets in size. Their h minds were clear and active. "Gen." Tom Thumb spent much of \ his life in South Carolina. His real i< name was Charles Sherwood Stratton, and he was closely related to Mrs. I -r u:- -t . - otiutiun ml v^uiuuiuia, at une time v c celebrated verse writer. The family of Dr. L. K. Philpot of Columbia is i< also closely related to the late Gen. o Tom Thumb. In 1852 Phineas T. Barnum engaged Chas. E. Stratton li for a tour of the wqrld and dubbed s him "Gen. Tom Thumb." He was not 2 feet in height and then weighed less ft than 12 pounds. Gen. Tom Thumb died in 1885 at the age of 45. His li widow is now 71 years old. The mortality of midgets, however, Is marked, and they rarely live to be over 35. The most celebrated midget today is Little Gabriel, who is a 32nd degree Mason and a man of many charms n and graces.
