It looks like now that thi i beautiful weather has come to an end Well, it is very natural for us all t< talk about the changes of the weather but now it is in its season. Decembe and January are likely to be cold, fo they are two of our winter month; and we may expect some bad weather Hy the time this letter is seen ii print Christmas will be here, a tinv that everyone is looking forward t< for a time of recreation and pleasure but, my friends, Christmas is what wi i make it. So is life. Now, of course I am always glad to see this tim and we should all enjoy it in the righ way and in the right spirit. Thi time of the year always takes m back to scenes of my childhood days Oh, my friends, listen! Those day are passed forever, but I can lool back in imagination and see the ol home; I can remember the little stock ings hung up by the fireplace fo Santa Claus to come by and put some thing in our stockings for us. Thos are happy by-gone days, but since tha time there has been many sweets an bitters. Now my thoughts are man; on this subject and I could write o and on for it does me good to thinl of those days when I was a boy. never thought of responsibility. Fath er and mother had the cares and trial of life on their shoulders, but it wa only in after years that I realized tha there were cares and trials and re sponsibility resting on me. How man of us have given these things thought. Now at Christmas time w had better stop and think how w should spend the week. I will sa with this thrown out to those wh _ might take his jug or bottle for hi part of the fun, be careful and don' take too much of that fatal stuff, say this knowing that there will h some who will take their Christma that way. Stop and think before yo spend your money that way. Whil you might think at that time that i your pleasure but again that might b the bitterest curse to you and it migh spoil your pleasure. This writer has been invited to sev oral [daces of pathcrinjr and amuse ment, which conflict with each othei can't attend them all, but 1 do appro cite the invitation just the same, am ylad I have many pood friend the kind hospitality shown me. The people are pettinp up thei Christmas wood. I met several yountr ladies fron Limestone colletre at the junction to day?Misses Mary and Sarah Littli of Kelton and Misses Vera and OUii Wade of Wilkshurp, S. C.. and Mis Lily Collins of Chester, all on thei way home to spend Christmas, also met Mrs. M. E. Savape fron Clifton on her way to visit at thi home of Mr. Asbmore Vanderford o Adamsburtr section. I will say tha these younp ladies were very enter taininp and had that kind socialit3 that I like to see all ladies have. Moxv. KELTON Kelton, Dec. 18.?Rain, sleet anc snow today. I puess we will hav< ? plenty of bad weather now after sc lonjr a spell of fine weather. Usually one extreme follows another. The farmers are through patherine their short crop and the cotton is about all sold, so if the price of cottor continues to po down it will not hurl the small farmers. It mipht be t blessinp if cotton would po to ten 01 twelve cents and stay there until nlantinp time is past, for if it hac held to the 20 cent mark everything would be planted in cotton. On th< Ridpe the acreape planted in smal prain is very small, althouph we hav< had fine weather for sowinp. I hear< one of Union county's bippest farmer? tellinp one of his hands to be sure tc plant a bit* crop in cotton next yeai as it would be a pood price and a! the time he well knew that the si/.f of any crop will govern the price ol - it. I believe the best plan is foi every farmer to insist on planting al their land next year in cotton for th( reason that where one advocates di versifying and to plant less cotton twc will say now is the time for us t< increase as the other fellow is goim to cut his acreage. Mr. Jim Foster, who moved from i cotton mill on a farm in this commun ity the first of the year has movec back to the mill.
