Every New D fear people say something about o; urning over a new leaf. If I have f< iot turned it over in advance I am eady to flop it, with a rattling flop. t< News is scarce about here as sun- b hine. I am not able to nick up a s| ingle personal item. If it was u.i p ilentiful as rats, then you could hear n ae talk. Mud out of doors is entirely |, oo deep for tennis shoes, and chean ^ ummer slippers. They won't match. Last week was cold, 18 degrees on a Vednesday, this was the coldest day if any day for several years. The reek was frozen entirely over whe'-e ^ iot too swift. I have not heard of any Christmas intertainments, but I had some cirumstantial evidence. I saw two bugry loads of evergreen go by. I hought it was holly, but to equal P 'Moxy" I was looking at the girls 15 vho had them, and failed to get a f : al a i ?- r il n UN LIU? llUier U1 Ifir iverpreens. I have about come to the conclusion c hat sometimes "sorter" lonp hair is 1 1 pood thinp. I pot a hair cut last d veek, a cold wave overtook my head v ind it liked to have froze. Wh<>w! Cotton seed is now worth, or is sellnp for one dollar a hundred pounds c it this place. Umph! They are not t vorth any more now than they were >ne month apo. or rather they were 1, vorth one month apo every cent that e ;hey are sellinp for now. But the c farmers who sold did not pet it. I do ? lot wish to accuse anybody hut it ;eems sipnificant to me. About all of t the seed are out of the producers' ) lands. Lots of people and mostly I icproes, just had to sell to tret a little x livinp money, and now the present fiiph price for seed is likely to he an . r excuse to put up the price of meal t from the cheap seed?hack to the '( users. Watch it. You will soon hear , of the rise in C. S. meal. I saw a nepro man yesterday who t needs a pood new shirt, a prown man. and last week I saw a few hunches of little neproes who were very rapped. . had no pood cotton cloth and 1 have seen a few white men of late who J would look more dressed up if they had a new shirt. And then I have j been bothered with a dinninp in my ears?that the farmers have pone and ' m:id(> ton miwti nnttexn flint tlin..n In no demand for it?or to that effect, 1 and I wondered why that negro man ' and others ragged, why all those little picaninnies could not hide their skin? Vou remember that once lien Terrell ' of Texas said: "there was never such a thing as an overproduction of cot- 1 ton as long as a single person in the I world went ragged, for the want of money to. buy a new shirt." There ! might have been an over production 1 of cotton at the expense of home supplies for the producer. This is indeed a very wet month, i Everything on the farm is tied up; ; there will be both cotton and corn in the fields during Christmas. It is im- i possible for the farmers to get through with this year's crop this year. There is much of the endhiff up of ginning to be done, but the | rains have wet the cotton and wet as it is hauled to the gin and the gin cannot run on any sort of time, but ai a very heavy expense on account of it. Every available shelter has a v ago:; load or mere of cotton under them. Oh, well, we will only have 10 , grin and bear it, and wait, and try to haul light loads of firewood, lloads are badly <:ut up and one has to be careful how or where he takes at team and wagon out of the road or i:i the field. This miry conditions of the fields is helping the corn as there has been but little favorable weather prevailed since the 28th of November. " That was a sad bit of news, that of Mrs, Franklin of Ottaray mills and also her husband, leaving the provider with no chance to make a support for sometime at least. No doubt the people who are able will respond and many others may strain a point to assist theuu Are birds to go by the board, 1 have heard that it is becoming hard to enforce the game laws anywhere That there are no appropriations to pay a game warden and he cannot give his time for nothing. Thare have been cases reported where the warden tried to enforce the game laws as to fish, etc., and others would connive to aid the offenders to esraiv ? a penalty. Especially is the partridge scarce this year. I had a covey which I had petted and fed and sheltered and tried to avoid frightening them, but was afraid some one would shoot them, and some one went on my place without my permission and shot my birds and I don't like it, and I am going to stop hungry dogs from prowling around there next year and hunting partridge eggs and baby rabbits. This country would be a dreary nlann u/UK am if Ktif /1a/*cj c* ?wl I"MVV ".v.. iivviimp, vr?. .V wut uwKo niiu men. While I am on the bird question let me add that last May the section director, Mr. Richard H. Sullivan of the weather bureau at Columbia, was at this place, visiting and inspecting the cooperative stations and he was the most enthusiastic bird lover that I ever saw. He talked interestingly of their habits and he would mingle with the little garden sparrows while tracking them to their nests. Early in the morning he was out listening to the mocking birds which he thought at first were robins. 1 learned that the favorite bird in his home country, Kentucky, was the robin. He lived sometime in Indiana and those people in that section deplored the fact that so many robins were killed during the winter when they come South. I think wa should save the birds. p "Hey Denver." Horn-Horn. Miss Ciracie Horn of South Union and Mr. Jesse Horn of West Springs were married at the residence of the officiating minister, Rev. L. L. Wagnon, Sunday afternoon, December 20. Mr. C. M. Bailey and Miss Bessie Bailey of Route 2 were visitors in the city Tuesday. i t JONESVILLE Jonesville, S. C., Dec. 22.?Sunday as another all day rain which make;; iree rainy Sundays this month. The lud and slush is awful. The sad news is realized that [. C. Little of Kelton is at the point f death and no hope is entertained ar his recovery. There are no seriously sick in oui )\vn?the death toll in our town has een very lijrht this year for which v hould he thankful, for the world has erhaps suffered the loss of more hutan lives than any year since th irth of our Savior. The Christmas ide is near at hand and perhaps ere . is over many souls that are now monjr us will be gone to their final eward. Death rides upon the stormy breeze ind lurks in every flower; Each season has its own disease ts r?eril every hour. While our people are crying hard imes. I notice the Christmas shopers are quite busy and Santa Claus ; showing up and will he in evidence bout as usual. The passing trains ave their usual number of passen ?>rs and nil things visible would indiate good times and Christmas cheer. see some visible signs of the countv ispensary ten miles away, and, Oh, i'hat will the harvest be? I want to conrratulaLe all the corr>?nondents of The Times for their ommunicatior.s last week and I wish o make special mention of Oakland. The graded schools closed down ast Thursday for the yule^lide (quite arly I think) and all the teachers exopt one. Miss Jimmie Hartley, have cone to their homes for the occasion. M iss Frances Ilicks, who teaches aWallace Mills, will close her school , Wednesday for the holidays. Miss dicks will spend the time at her home vith her parents in Greenville. Several of the Jonesville students <f colleges have come homo to spend he holidays, while others are still to :ome. There will he many familv ifinions and the turkev dinners will be n evidence?hard times to the eonrarv, notwithstanding. Christmas and Santa Claus wern lot in evidence when I was a hoy, hut he serenaders and sleigh ridinir furlishcd much of the fun and then the 'old Virginia reel" and the "break lown" came in for a long share of :he enjoyment of the holidays and of course an occasional wedding.

And may we all enjoy that peace that the Savior came to brinp the world. "Telephone." * *_ _ ~ SEDAL.1A Sedalia, S. C.. Doc. 19.?As our correspondent has been absent in the Inst few copies of our paper, it is with great pleasure for me to write a few words for the paper, as well as to speak for our township, Cross Keys. Mr. Elridge Fincher was calling last Sunday afternoon at the home of Mr. Lonnie Wilson's near Cross Anchor. Mr. Elmer Hobo was visiting at the heme of Mr. W. N. Betsill's a few days ago. Mr. and Mrs. I'. R. Ilobo were visiting in Union yesterday on business. Mr. B. G. Wilburn went to Union yesterday on business. i nere nas neon a great oeai 01 posting land in this part of the country, notifying people to stop hunting1 or trespassing. So the hunters that do not own any land have quieted down a great deal. There was quite an entertainment at Sedalia high school building last night?oysters and other edibles were served. There was music by the teacher and different ones of the pupils. The proceeds went to the benefit of the school which amounted to about $15. The crowd was very small, but was very pleasing. The discussion of writing compositions which Supt. H. C. Little brought a great disturbance among the school pupils of this community, which was very unsatisfactory among some of them because some could not get help, and some few could, and those that couid nor get neip, did not nice it because those that did won out, which represents our school at Union county test. So I will take time and write a short composition on grain sowing, which will be found in Thn rimes also. "Violet." Shovel Snow in Chicago. Chicago, Dec. 21.?Thousands of men who sought shelter in municipal lodging houses last night were given employment today by railroads, trolley lines and the city, clearing the streets and railway tracks of the heaviest snow fall of the winter. There were 3,800 jobless men sheltered in two municipal lodging houses and the Rufus Dawes hotel. All of them were ready to work. They were paid $2 pet day. Dr. R. C. McCall is the guest of his daughters, Mesdames W. H. I'errin and J. Hay Fant.
