JONESVILLE NEWS LETTER
Events Sad and Gay Chronicled by
The Times' Correspondent?Death
of Two Good Women.
Joner-ville, June 16.?In the last
few days Jonesville has had a contrast
of events mixed with joy and
happiness, sadness and tears.
Last Thursday morning the sweet
two-year-old daughter, Catia, of Mr.
and Mrs. D. B. Free, Jr., died rather
strangely and suddenly. The remains
were buried the following day
at Gilead.
Death of Mrs. J. L. McKinney.
On Saturday morning Mrs. J. L.
McKinncy died at the home of her
husband, four miles east of Jonesville,
after several days illness. Mrs.
McKinney's maiden name was Miss
Hallinger, and she was a native of
Greenville county. She had been
living in this neighborhood only a
few years, She was about 45 years
of age, and ? consistent member of
the Baptist church and a good Christian
woman.
On Saturday at high noon the
Geer-Southi\rd wedding was solemnhad
at th? Baptist church in the
.resence ot a large congregation of
people, where all was a scene of
loveliness and beauty and on Sunday
at 12 o'clock in the same church,
the same preacher, the same organ
and organist, Miss Marie Littlejohn,
was performed the sad requien\ of
the dead; 6v?l- the VelYiamS of Mrs.
McKinney.
The contrast in the weather the
last week has been equally as great
us that in the other events. The
temperature a week ago was fifty
degrees, while today it is ninety.
Our town seems to be deserted by
the country people as there is scarcely
a farmer to be seen on the streets.
Mrs. S. B. Ezell, Mrs. John Hill,
Mrs. Jimmy Maxwell and Mrs. Clara
Thomson all of Spartanburg, were
the guests of Mrs. L. J. Fowler, last
week.
Mr. P. P. Williams, who left Jonesille
about seventeen months ago for
Phoenix, Arizona for his health, has
returned to his native home again to
spend the remainder of his life. Mr.
Williams has lung trouble, and
thought the dry atmosphere of Arizona
would help him. After staying
in Phoenix a while he went to Texas,
and New Mexico, still seeking for
health, but none of these places improved
his health, so he returns about
as he went away.
News {reached Jonesville this
J

hospital in Spartanburg this morning
of acute appendicitis. Mrs.
Brown was Miss Bell Littlejohn, of
Jonesville. She was, when a girl,
one of mv Sundav school scholars
and she was a sweet girl and made
a fine, lovable woman. The remains
will be buried tomorrow in Spartanburg.

First Aid.
The riming dictionary
Is handy at a pinch.
For words are so contrary
The poet has no cinch.
And he has lots of trouble.
As you may welt opine,
To make the riming double
On every other line.
He doesn't mind the meter.
Ideas tloat along
That couldn't well be neater
For weaving into song.
Rut when It comes to fitting
The rimes In stately row
His noble brew some knitting
Is pretty upt to show.
And when he comes to writing
And cannot catch the trend
He has to do some biting
Upon his pencil's end.
So he must do some gleaning
I 1 words from nowhere hatch
Ti .ggle out his meaning
And make the riming match.
That's where the dictionary
Is useful In the trade.
And thus In manner airy
He calls to It for aid.

He turns to It for rime

A Chinsso Incident.
Til tell you a true story," said a
missionary, "that illustrates tbe nobility
of the Chinese character.
"A drunken Cossack In Manchuria
shot a Chinaman fatally. It was necessary
to identify the fellow, and half
a dozen Cossacks were brought to tho
Chinaman's deathbed for that purpose.
He. however, refused to polut out his
murderer, say lug:
" 'Why should he l>e killed, since I
must die In any cjuse?*
"They explained that tbe Cossack .
would not be put to death, but only severely
punished, for his crime. Thereupon
the Chinaman said:
" 'But why punish him. sincere la already
forgiven ?"
"To this they made answer that the
punishment would not be a revenge,
"in n uen-rrem. it wuuiu &w|i uiu
Cossack from refuting such a heinous
crime.
"But the Chinaman only shook bis
bead.

mid. 'when be knows that I forgive

the tubes are bored doWtl to a deptb,

the water evaporates from the j
tnbos, Just as it would from a pipe. ,
If the tube Is twisted It takes longer ]
tor the water to evaporate. If one \
takes a rake and stirs the ground after i
eneli rain he breaks the tops of the <
tubes, and the water will stand in
them for months. In this way the I
farmers of the west, on the semlarld 1
lands, store the rainfall one year am. j

year, there being sufficient water In ;
two years, but not enough in one. to
raise a crop.?Harper's. i

The little boy, aged five, was sitting

with her affection for him an carnest

paths of knowledge. Just now In her
intense way she was trying to teach
him how to divide an orange Into quarters.

Again and again she led up to the'
point that she wished him to think oi^v
