C. | 4 A A A A 4^4 A A A A vL " r JONESVILLE JONESVILLE, Oct. 20.?We often hear of this and that and the other a problem, but to my mind, the great- y ?st problem of all, is the human race js problem. Humanity is something a that is hard to solve, yes, difficult to understand. A man passed through k our streets the other day peddling, ft He had but'one kind of goods?lead 1 pencils, and he told me he made a t good living by selling his pencils. He s sells them at five cents each, when S they can be bought in the stores at o one cent each or ten cents a dozen. The spectacle peddler, they call c themselves oculists, will come v around and sell his "specs" for three ii times as much as the local merchants sell them for. A Yankee piano man t can come around and sell his pianos S at higher prices than the local dealer. I who is well known and who is re- I sponsible and the same thing is true n of the Irish peddler, hence, I say the a human problem is the greatest of all f problems. h News reached Jonesville Saturday v morning that Mr. Charles C. Davis K had died the day before at his home a in Cherokee county after a long and b painful illness. Mr. Davis was the tl son of Mr. Alfred Davis and was born and reared on the banks of s Rocky Creek, two and a half miles c from Jonesville. Mr. Davis served n through the war between the states d in company II 5th S. C. Volunteers, tl He had seven brothers, five of whom k served in the Confederate army and v were brave, faithful soldiers and all is returned home safely after the sur- p render. Mr. Davis was 74 years of o ape and had been a very stout man li as his eleven brothers were, but paralysis set upon him and his str ig h constitution yielded and finally death b claimed him. s; We had a thunder storm Saturday a night and a pood gentle rain, and I again Sundav eveninir and nichf y there was a long down-pour and Monday we had a hail storm, follow- tl ed by high cold winds, and we are a looking for a killing frost to follow, u The cotton market ought to be w satisfactory to the farmers if the v. country cannot live and then prosper rr with the fair crops and the good f< prices of cotton there certainly is ir something the matter. Well, I might fi say right here that I think there is cl something the matter and might tell what I think it is?our people, as a rule, are living too fast, too high and spending more money than thro c< make. This being the case the p try is not to blame. . J^Hgj Mr. Thomas H.^Goik I ified by the department atfWml^^HH ton that he has been appoint^^^^HI assistant to Deputy Collector at Asheville, N. C., at a salar^W b< four dollars a day and board a'l p( traveling expenses. This appoint- N ment comes through Congressman bi Joseph T. Johnson. a, Mr. E. R. Aycock, of Clinton, was q, in Jonesville Sunday and Monday. Mr. Arthur Eison left Monday ^ morning to visit relatives near Knox- r? ville, Tenn. ir Notice! q, To the churches of Pacolet River tl \ssociation: Dear Brethern?The Association tl has on hand a small relief fund for hj .he benefit of the super-annuated ind dependant ministers, deacons and w heir dependent widows. This money s deposited in one of the banks at (t Union. S. C. The executive board is not suppos- w ?d to know all the persons in the various churches of the association who te may be entitled to a share of this money. So in order to do justice to k, ill, and to pay out the money to the persons for whom it was sent up, the pj ixecutive board has adopted a rule et :hat all churches of thi^ association jn laving amonpr them dependent minsters, deacons, or dependent widows . >f ministers or deacons, must ^end :.he names of the dependent minis- ^ ters, deacons or widows on their . I ic hurch letter to the association or | lT1 iic fxwuuve Doara and tne money will he paid. Please take notice and govern yourselves accordingly. The money will he paid out only on request by S1 etter from the church of whom the jerson seeking aid is a member. If his relief fund is not called for ac- ?* ording to this rule, said money may ie used for education. " J. G. Pruitt, Rev. H. K. Bates ol Cor. Sec. al Albert Shover, a rich man of New- P' ,on, N.

Rain esterday and a snow storm in this ection. Today the weather is fine nd we feel good. Mr. Boyd Smith has a large pumpin that he is sending to the fair by fi. T. M. Tweed?it weighs 87 lbs. The girls who belong to the Tomao Clubs in this section, will have onie things in the fair on exhibition. Showing how much can be made out f tomatoes. / Mr. J. J. Garner found a boll of otton with nine locks in it. The boll /as well matured with good long lint r? the lock. Mr. Charley Knox, who runs a coton gin at this place, lost $40 last Saturday while on his way from ,ockhart Junction to Union or at Jnion. Mr. Knox never missed this loney until he was in Union. After ttending to some business, he felt or his money which he had put in is pocket and it. was gone. There /ere two twenty dollar bills. Mr. [nox is a hard-working young man nd this is a big loss to him. We eliove if a good, honest man finds his, he will get his money back. We see Jonesville is well reprecnted with her three wide awake orrespondents. I think I am not listaken, if I say that I read three ifferent letters from there. One in he name of Lenox. Now, I do not now who Lenox is?whether he is a ridower or bachelor. We believe he i a friend of ours though, and We apreciate his jokes, as we do from all thers. All this goes to make up a fe. We remember many things that appened when I was a boy. The ooks I used to read?the many old fiyings. For instance, "When, you re in Rome, do as Rome does," but say a fellow should try to keep in no best of Rome. Some one asked me to write about hie topics of the day or the changes s I have seen them. This would take p too much time and space and ould not be interesting to all. But rc thank those who have complijonted our letters. If it had not been ar that, we would have stopped tryig long ago, but we take courage rom those who give us a word of heer. MOXY.
