LETTER FROM HOODTOWN.
Wheat Sowing-Some Hogs Left-Mr. and
Mrs. Bankhead-Personal Notes.


Mrs. Bankhead-Personal Notes.
Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
HooDTowN, December 16.-The princi
pal part of the wheat crop has been sown.
A number of the farmers failed to sow in
the proper season, owing to the dry
weather, and recently it has been so wet
that it has caused them to be rather late; ;
but they don't want to pay such enormous
prices for breadstuffs another year.
While money is very scarce and the
merchants have taken all the farm pro-
ducts, in many instances without satisfy
ing the liens, there are great many hogs
in this section, and some will he in fair
circumstances after all, as meat is no
small item when it comes to paying for
it with five cents cotton.
Mr.. J. S. Hood killed nice pig this
morning. 1t weighed 80 pound.
Mr.. Sam G. Bankhead is the happiest
man in "these parts" He was married
yesterday to Miss Bessie Hopper, Of Fill
bert. They, with few friends and rela-
tives, were given a reception at the home
of his father, Mr.. John E. Bankhead,
yesterday evening. We wish the young
people much joy in their life journey.
Mrs. Mary f. and Mrs. Nancy A.
Feemster have been in Kershaw several
days visiting the family of Mr.. j. A.
Hilton.
Mr.. w. L. Plexico, wife and four chill
dren, of Clay Hill, spent few days
among relatives here and at Sharon, re-
turning home on Monday.
AS we will probably not have the op-
portunity later to do so, we now extend
our best wishes to THE ENQUIRER, its
correspondents and readers, for happy
Christmas and much more prosperous
new year than the old has proven to be.

Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
BLAcKsBURG, December l3.-As stated
in my letter to The ENQUIRER last week,
all of the records Of our town were burn
ed with the council chamber on Monday
night, the 9th instant, and it was incum-
bent upon our City Fathers to pass an
other set of ordinances to take the place
of the old. They began the work last
week, and so far have promulgated ordi-
nances against carrying concealed fire.

ging same; against profane language
fighting and drunkenness gambling
fire works; filling lamps by artificial
light; keeping dynamite or delivering
it inside corporate limits against steal
ing; placing refuse on streets or side
walks gates hanging on outside Of yard;
against obstruction of street crossings by
railroad trains longer than 10 minutes;
and the erection of wooden buildings in
side of an area bounded by Southern rail-
road and Cherokee street, which is desig-
mated as the business portion of the town.
The prohibition of fireworks is not only
very unpopular with the juvenile por-
ton of our community, but works quite
hardship upon those of our merchants
who had laid in supply of such things
for the Christmas and New Year holidays.
The ordinance against the handling ofdy-
Mantle within the town limits is also COM
planned of as sui jecting the seller and
purchaser Of that article to an unnecessa-
ry inconvenience. or course, the usual
ordinance but it is probable that both
they and the scope of some of the ordi-
nances will in time be modified.
Preparations are in progress for giving
the children of the Methodist Sunday

Christmas Eve.

The latest development of the small

This was on the advice of the commits

Of the governor. After a thorough inves-

What that report was, was not known ull-

Curc for Burns.

The following recipe for burns is most
highly recommended: Roll -four and
lard together as you would for making
pie-crust. Then wet it into a soft dough
with cold water. Completely cover the
parts burned and keep them covered for
two or three days. When the dough
loosens-which will be in two or three
days-the burned skin will peel off with
it. Make fresh dough and cover the
afflicted parts again. Let the dough re-
main until it becomes loose. It is said
that burns treated in this way viii
never leave scars.-N. Y. Tribune.

WHEN CHARACTER is FORMED
How Children Are Worried Into Ugly
Dispositions.


In many homes older children make
the life of the smaller ones wretched
much of the time. The writer knows q
family where there are three children,
the youngest about two years of age
The older ones seem to find no greater
pleasure than TO tease the babe on every
opportunity, fer she occasions them
much merriment by her violent vocal
and bodily expressions whenever she is
tormented beyond endurance. One does
not need to remain about this home long
before seeing plainly that this child is
being worried into an ugly disposition.
Even at two years she has reached the
point where she is intolerable much OF
the time, showing her unbalanced con-
dition by flying into passion over
every little thing that occasions her dis
pleasure. The attitude of the older
children serves to keep her in more
or less constant state of fatigue, and
the actions performed in this condition
are rapidly forming habits, thus de-
termining her character.-Prof. NJ. v.
o'Shea, in Appletons' Popular Science
Monthly.

NOVELTY IN FALL GLOVES.
Dainty Miniatures Are Painted on
the Buttons.

Dainty Miniatures Are Painted on
the Buttons.
Miniatures for glove buttons-that is
the latest fad of the fashionable woman.
But it is only on her very best gloves
that the miniature buttons are seen.
And such exquisite gloves as they
are! They are made of the softest Of
cream color suede, and are bound with
different delicate shades of kid. The
backs of the gloves are beautifully
stitched in two contrasting shades Of
silk. The gloves come in short, four
button length. Each button is a min
allure framed in tiny rim of gilt.
Various miniatures are used. One pair
of gloves will be decorated with the
portraits of the beauties of the French
court. Another pair will show Princess
Louise, whose picture is SO famous for
its beauty, and others will have por-
traits of the prominent women of their
time.
These gloves can be bought in cream
color, bound with faint green kid and
stitched with pink and green silk. They
also come in cream color, with the bind
ing and stitching in two shades of VIC.
let. Later in the season they will show
the kid binding and stitching in many
other colors.
1t is rumored that these miniature
glove buttons promise to be such fad
that before long the society girl will
fasten her glove with the miniature Of
the man of her heart, or perhaps of her
pet poodle!
There are many other novelties among
the new gloves this fall, both in suede
and glace kid. Suede gloves, with imi-
tation pearls for buttons, will be much
worn; also the glace gloves, with big
pearl buttons set with sparkling rhine.
Stones.
For walking gloves all the shades OF
red and tan will be worn. The most
stylish are stitched and bound with
black. The pearl-gray, yellow, and
white gloves will be most in favor for
wear at afternoon teas and for the the
alter.
The old-fashioned two buttoned
length glove has been revived this sea-

worn with the new uncomfortably long
sleeve.-Chicago Tribune.

The annual report of Capt. Rodgers
Of the Fourth cavalry, who is acting as
superintendent of the Yosemite ma

the worst they have to contend with.
The game seems to be increasing in
