TO CORRESPONDENTS.

With your permission the CITIZEN
will take up the trend OF thought where
we left of last week.
We think we have convinced you that
we are quite anxious to hear from you
as often as possible, provided there ia
something doing" In your locality.
Right on that line we must ask you to
forgive US when we cut out inaue per.
sonals-such as "Msry Jane was pleas
ant caller at Susan AIMS Sunday"
Susan Ann and Mary Jane are the only
ones directly interested in the little
affair, and many of these unimpor-
tant squibs take up lots or space thai
might be devoted to news of interest to a
large portion Of our clientele. Now, II
Mary Jane lived at distance aud she
was. dropping in" for more than an
hours stay land not just to get her name
in the paper we might sfford few lines
for'the information. We do not wish TO
exclude Mary Jane from press notices
entirely, but let Mary Jane do something
worth recording, and then well give her
the proper send off-and we don't mean
by that that she must necessarily par
ticipate in an eiopemeut.
To show that we are not suffering
alone In this affection we quote similar
appeal from a nearby local paper OF good
repute: at is necessary for US to again
remind some of our correspondents that
the large demand for space Ia the read =
ing columns of the paper compels us to
cut out such trivial items as sMr. A. was
pleasant caller at the home OF Miss b.
Sunday afternoon and Come again, c;
we are always glad TO welcome you
Send us the real interesting, important
news, give us your well defined and ex-
pressed views on live. interesting topics
and stop there"
Now, we think we are coming to a
better understanding OF what cons,i-
tutes good local Journalism. We VIII
drop some Of our little localisms that
often mar good letter and retard the
growth In reputation OF one that is
otherwise good correspondent.

PEARLS FROM TUE SHELLS.

Rev. L. J. Richardson is doing good
work in his new position with the Anti.
Saloon League. He was about 10 accep,

brethren were very kind in releasing him
from his engagement with them Relig.
iOus Herald.
Messrs. Headley and Reynolds, of Ian
caster county. spent last Friday night at
this place. Mr.. Headley is an old Con-
fedeiate veteran, and was through this
section last at the time General Dahlgreen
was killed. He told good war story,
which we think is worthy OF repetition,
and will give it as he told il: "The soldiers
were accustomed to holding a prayer
meeting every Sunday afternoon, and on
one occasion an old soldier by the name
OF Jones was leading in prayer. He was
praying that the Lord would give them
more courage and more bravery, when
suddenly one OF the little congregation
raised up and said-'Jones, you ought
not to pray for more courage and bravery
we already have all that weneed; Whist
you need to pray for now is more rations."

IN MEMoRIAM.

Scarcely had the beautiful sun set on
the evening. of February Goth. 1904,
when the angel spirit of our beloved
mother, Mrs. w. A. Ball, winged it's
flight back to the God who gave it. Her
loving husband and devoted children
watched over her and did all in their
power to restore her to health; but God
saw fit to take her to brighter world.
She was the eldest daughter of Mrs.
Martha LamkiD, and was born in Nor
thumberland county, Va, March ath,
1861. Until her marriage she was a
member of the Methodist church. After
marriage she connected herself with the
Presbyterian church at Weems, where
she held membership at her death.
Dearest mother, thou hast left as,
We thy loss most deeply feel;
But tits God who has bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
Yet again we hope TO meet thee,
When the day of life is fled;
When, in heaven, with joy TO greet thee,
Where no farewell tears are shed.
We miss her kind, her willing hand,
Her fond and earnest care;
And OH how dark is life around us
What is home without, without her there
Her tolls were great on this cold earth,
With little pleasure, 10y, or mirth-
Oh, rest your head on Jesus breast,
And rest, sweetly rest.
You saw a hand we could not see,
Which beckened you away;
You heard a voice we could not hear,
Which would not let you stay.
When we leave this world of changes,
When we leave this world of care,
We shall fine our missing loved ones,
IN our Fathers mansion fair.
BY LOVING HUSBAND AND CHILDREN.
