A Severe Storm.

Chicago, Dec. q One of the
most severe storms of recent years
has been raging through the terri
tory lying between the Rocky noun
taips and the Great Lakes since
early this morning, and has caused
nuch trouble to street car companies,
railroads and telegraph companies.
In it's extent the storm was the
most widespread OF any during the
last Is years. Counting the fog as
a component part of the storm, it
stretched clear from the Rocky
mountains to New York and from
Winnipeg to New Orleans. The
fatalities reported here as due to the
etorso are three men killed.

off on last Monday evening. The
chi'dcen of this school, like these of
the Baptist and Lu'h eran denouina
tlop, had undergone system OF
pr .c'ice that had fitted them thor
ou shly and pro6cientIy to entertain
their be .rers in pleasing and inter
esting manper. The vocal and in
strumen,al rendition was such ss +,
cali forth the admiration of those
who we're 80 fortunate as to get iu-
side the building, crowded as it was.
The dialogues and declamations and
essays were of high order bringing
out the talents of the little orators
and the exercises blended into q
harmonious whole that the hearers
forgot for the time being. the cares
the perplexities and the sorrow and
sickness incident to this life and
were carried back in imagination to
the babe that slept 30 peacefully in
the maneer, while the messengers Of
God proclaimed to- the shepards on
Jadea's rugged bills, "Peace on earth,
good will to men,, and the choisters
of heaven caugh: up the refrain "And
crown him Lord of lords" The ex-
ercises were very impressive and
elevating and inspiring Solicitor
George Bell Zimmerman made q
timely address which was thoughtful
in construction, earnest in delivery
and his fights or oratory held his
audience epell bound. Rev. O N
Rountree, the pastor of the church,
also made some very appropriate re-
marks, and then came the distribu-
tion of gifts from a beautiful and
heavily laden tree which delighted
the hearts of the young as we'll ss
the old. Christmas of 1904 will be
long remembered by our people for
it's pleasure, its happiness and it's
joyousness.
The colored people also had their
time of cheer of JOY and offestivities
The colored Baptist Sunday echool
had very pretty Christmas tree on
Monday night which was handsomely
decorated and laden with beautiful
presents. The exercises consisted
of songs, declamations, essays and
diologues which were pleasingly rem
dered.

With both hard and rubber heels.

And his mate who draws the hoe.

For come twenty years or 80,
And we hope to have this pleasure
For at least that many more.

Echoes from Castor.

We are now having pleasant spring
like weather.
November small grain is looking
quite healthy these warm days.
The schools hereabout have vscated
one week and the youthful student
is e1 joying the usual Xmas festiv-
tiles.
Mrs. Florence Hall, from Mims,
and Mrs. Ida Hall, from Thor, paid
the parental roof q brief visit recent
ly. They look as tho times have
served them we'll.
Eee the holidays close me thinks
you'll hear the doleful sound of mar
risge bells and scent the perfumes
of orange bloom.
Billy is all alone now as the devot-
ed Mrs. Felix, with the little once,
are spending few days in the cspi-
tai city.
The little boys of CASTOR had a
merry time Christmas eve with their
fireworks.
Mr.. E. L Pound, who has been on
a pleasure trip to Alabama visiting
relatives, has returned and says
there is no place like home.
Too many celebrated the glorious
birth of the blessed Saviour with far
too much ''pop skull" and ''red eye. :"
Many little heart was made to
beat with glsdness at the approach
of old Santa on his annual rounds of
coincidence.
The finest turnips We have ever
seen grown in this county were grown
on the farm of Mr.. J. L Smith, who
gets his mail on the CASTOR r F. d.
The dimensions of one of them was:
Equatorial circumference 20 inches,
polar circumference "a inches.
Mr.. Watt Smith, who is taking
business course in Columbia, visited
these ''diggings" recently. Watt is
fine fellow and We shall be pleased
to see him again.
What silly mortals We farmers be.
Last year the Cotton Kings threw out
big bait in the shape of high prices.
The poor deluded farmer bit at it,
and put in large increase of acreage,
a goodly yield has been realized and
now its down from II cents per
pound to less than Z cents. Had
they planted just half the acreage
with half the labor saved in making
and gathering the prices would have
been more than double what they
are now. consequently, time, money
and labor would have been saved.
When, oh when, will the farmers
awake to the facts of the real situa-
tion of sffairs as they now exist?
Mr.. n. L. Rister did very COM
mendable act during the recent freeze
by taking his axe and trimming the
trees on the r. T. D, which were
bent over under their load of ice.
Thank you, Bro. Lee, we hope others
will follow your example should
another freeze come, and then the
carrier can report On schedule time.
Many thanks to the number Of
Sauta's agents who we're so kind and
thoughtful on Xmas eve to place the
numerous nice things in the mail
boxes. They surely are very highly
appreciated BY, Billy Felix.
