JONESVILLE .Tonesville, July 31.?I was born and raised up on a farm and the country life has always been dear to me, although I have lived in the town for a good many years. Yet the country still has the charms for me. I love to pass through the country and look upon the fertile fields and the golden grain and I love to see good farming and I love and respect the good farmer, the industrious farmer. Yes, deliver me from the slothful, lazy fellow and then when I come into the country yard and go into the home and see the good house wife's toilet, cook room, dining room, I will not mention parlor, for the parlor is not in ? i;i.? .i cv 1UUIIV.C ail^ iiiui t iirvir nit'V win v were. All this brings me up, or down, if you please, to the golden age of my life time. Some of my friends may say I had better call it my dote age hut not so?I haven't quite got there yet. On the 24th inst. Mr. T. M. I.ittlejohn took Mr. \V. >'J. Coleman and myself in his Ford over to Mr. T .1. Bishop's, four miles in the country, and here we found a good well-appointed country home. The good lady was canning beans, providing for the winter which will come around after awhile and how nice the good green beans will he after fruit and watermellons are gone. We took a stroll down through the bottoms into the corn. We took in the fine corn 1.1 acres, and I am sure it will turn out 40 bushels to the acre and the fodder will turn out at least four to five hundred bundles to the acre. Then Mr. Bishop has peas all over the land and later on he will sow crimson clover broadcast over the land and let the peas and clover just do their work of fertilizing the land and put it in good condition for a good crop of corn next year. Mr. Bishop has a fine cotton crop hut then he makes a specialty of corn and he has it down fine. Then he has a hog pasture and some nice shoats and the yard and lot was full of nice chickens. Mr. Bishop has heen keeping house 20 years and has never bought any corn during all that time, hut has sold corn every year hut one. On Thursday Mr. John T? McKinney drove up to Jonesville in his fine Overland car and took Messrs. Jeter, Fowler, George M. Fowler, Hawkins Smith and myself down to his home four miles in the country to look at his fine corn and cotton and we found it about 14 acres in corn and the same in cotton which is Mr. McKinney's special crop ^nd he counts on 40 bushels of corn per acre and 20 hales of cotton on the 14 acres and there is not much guessing about this for the stuff is about made. Then the peas are there and Mr. McKinney will sow clover in his peas and make the land rich and ready for a big crop next vaor T Korn Jo o Ua** noofni?o am fl-?A brauchfwith a nice lot of shoats in it and the lands all about the house is working alive with chickens. Mr. McKinney has sip fiue hound dogs and there are plenty of rabbits and 'possums on the place and the season for bunting them will soon be in so the man that is bottled up in town sweating and fighting flies and mosquitoes had most as well be in the French army; his life is no comparison to the country life. There are plenty more such homes in our community and if it were not for the infernal war our country would soon be in good shape and ev erythinp would be plentiful and lovely. The Russians have proven that there is no confidence in them and that the allies can't afford to depend on them for any substantial helo in the preat European war, and I don't think there can he much expected of Greece and Japan and as I see it the three nations?England, France and America?will have to conquer Germany and whip her into submission and it will take at least four or five years to do it for Uncle Sam can't pet ready to do much effective work for twelve months or more and durinrr t Vl n t tlmn of All., a ?V? -?? V..-V V...C liia.ijr Ui WUI mnriican hoys will go to their death. Yes, many of them will never see their native country when they leave her shores. Saturday morning about f> o'clock the dwelling occupied by Mr. Caldwell on Main street was destroyed by fire. The fire was first discovered by Mr. Caldwell in the closet in the hall. The flames soon had the building1 in their giasf. and but little of the contents in the building: were saved. Mr. Caldwell saved his pants, his hat and the sewing machine; everything else went 11 f in smoke. Mr. Porter lost all hi? furniture as it was stored upstairs., ile had all his mother's furniture and it was valuable and it was all a total loss. Mr. Porter had a thousand dol mr poucy on nis rurniture and ho values his loss at two thousand dollars. Mr. Henry .1. Haines has the contract for feeding the Coast Artillery company in camp here and he puts himself to no little trouble to give the hoys a good hill of fare and I think they are well pleased with their rations. I had a similar job in the civil war hut there was some difference in the two governments and our rations, I daresay, are *piite different. My joh lasted about three years and during the time it was much like the submarine of the present day?sometimes it would he plentiful on the surface and again it would disappear and for a time it would he hard times in the camp, hut I never let any of the hoys perish, hut Jess Jeter came pretty close to it but his brother, Tom I.erry kept fat all the time; fact is, Tom Rerry never got hungry while Jesse L. never had enough. I went up to Spartanburg Sunday morning with Uncle Jodie Lancaster and attended an all-day Sunday singing in the courthouse. There were j more than GOO people there and they sang the songs of the old Christian Harmony published by William Walker of Spartanburg, S. C., away back in the long ago. Mr. Jack Burnett of Spartanburg is the leader of the movement and it is growing stronger every year. 'Phe next Sunday singing by the society will be the bth Sunday in June of next year in the courthouse at Spartanburg. Saturday evening late Mr. Webb Alman took Misses Isma Gault and I.ueile McWhirter on a joy ride out on the West Springs road. He let his car, his father's new fine Overland, get away with him and crashed against a tree and Miss Gault's shoulder was broken and the car was badly damaged. Miss McWhirter got off very light. Miss Caroline L. Southard of Columbia is visiting her mother, Mrs SaKie Southard on Main street. Mr. Charles Marion McWhirter has returned from the mountains of North Carolina fut his bride is still in tthe mountains, where she will remain for sometimet yet. Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Alman of Tampa, Fla., are visiting relatives in Jonesville. They came through in their car. The meeting at New Hope which has been going on for two weeks has moved up to Jonesville. The gospel tent has been pitched near the hotel ar.d the troofl work iws on vifionn persons were added to the church at New Hope before the meeting was moved. A nice reception was given the soldier boys at the Armory here on Friday evening:, an account of which occurs in another column. Telephone. lockiiart* junction Lockhart Junction, July JO.?We are now in the midst of the summer seasftn. The crops are in a fine growing: condition. With grood seasons and no disaster there will he more corn made in Union county than ever has | been known. fo>- there has been more [planted and the crops are in better (condition. It seems to me for tlie time of year than I ever saw them. ( It is that way everywhere 1 have been or heard from. The cotton has come out and is looking: very well, but I can't say we will make a full crop for the most of it is very late and the stands are bad in some places. So you see, I believe I have it about right, half crop cotton, but as one man said to me about the time the crop is being: marketed there will be another war break out or something: else will happen and the price will go down. I hope we will get a good price for cotton as I see a new bale has been sold for 40 cents a pound. If the farmers can get 25 cents for cotton and make food stuff enough | they will be in the swim with their heads above the waves. The price of food Is stifl up with the good prospect in view, so ought the price of cotton still stay up. The pYotracted meeting held at New Hope church by Rev. Kinard, the evangelist, has closed with 11 additions to the church and the church members much revived. Rev. Kinard now goes to Jonesville and will preach there in his tent. While attending preaching at New Hope I was invited to Mr. T. J. Bishop's, where we met with his other invited guests, Messrs. W. II. S. Harris, T. S. hittlejohn and William Coleman. Mr. Bishop, who is a well known and good citizen and progressive farmer of Jonesville township, showed us around on liis furm ?I ing us some of as fine corn as I have seen this year. This was bottom land corn on small stream, not creek bottom, but it is branch bottom, what I call home-made land. Mr. Bishop has improved and brought up this bottom land. It is land that is not much subect to overflow in case of big rains, but he said the heavy rains that came last year in .Tuly overflowed some of his bottom land. His corn is planted in five feet rows and 12 or 15 inches in drill and he used 100 lbs. of cotton seed meal mixture to the acre. He has 14 acres in the bottom. Mr. Bishop doesn't use as much fertilizer as some do. He sows his peas and clover, the crimson clover giving him his nitrogen and yelps build up his land. He has plerxy of old corn now in the crib and fodder after selling and letting his neighbors have for their use, an he .s in the pen enouprh to make his own meat for the next year. I will say for Mr. and Mrs, Bishop they know how to show their courtesy and kind hospitality to their friends. This writer is left like I Began in life, with no one at home of my family, all prone now. The last one, a son, who has Been with me and who has Been devoted to the farm and his home and his father, is now with the Toast Artillery. I don't want to make this too serious, But sometime I don't understand all this, yet it is the BiBle. Now in prophetic aire. This seems to Be and a parallel age, the same God as then. The young man r\ C tKot ??/? ? i ? uu?t wi n IIII|II mncu (U defend their home and country. The young manhood of today has shown moral courage to go forth in the defense of their country. If they only go like Ile/.ekiah did, trusting in God for deliverance. His prayer was answered through Isaiah and in morning after their prayer at night God saved him and the city and there were one hundred and eighty-five thousand of corpses around the city, so hoys, he good and trust God and all things will he well with you. Miss Hell Gault and sisters, Nettie, Mrs. Barnes of I.ockhart and Miss Annie Johnson and Mr. Vanderford motored down in their auto to our | home to eat waterniellons and fruit. Come apain, the string hanps on the outside of the door for our friends. We have friends by the scohe, and of course we have. I don't know hut a few enemies, like all others, hut Christ had them and many accusers, so we take courape and po on. Now, I will say, if you will pardon me, that I have enouph relipion to | pive every man and woman or pirl or hoy that I meet the ripht hand of fellowship, whether they would like for me to do that or not. This is not boastinp. I thank God that it was instilled in this fellow from his youth up and I believe I was horn with that principle of the heart, not to hold prejudice apainst anybody, no matter what he did or said about me. 1 heard a preacher say not lonp ape a man struck him with his first while he stood near the pulpit. He said somethi'ip about a fellow talkinp in j services and this man took exception to it, but he said he never struck him hack. That is relipion. 1 believe ho has more than the most of us have. Mr. Epps Tucker of near Carlisle attended preachinp at New Hope Sun- j day. Mr. and Mrs. 11. F. Gault and Mrs. J. G. Gault and Misses Leila and Lulu, all of Union, were also at preachinp. Mr. W. A. Smith of Spartanhurp was a visitor and attended church last week. Moxy. CHILDREN'S DAY AT SALEM. Wilkinsville, S.
