pastor Of Tirzah and old Wax

good health. For about sixty.
seven years he lived without

Kew. William A. Kelly
We'll Known Methodist Min
lister Recovering Health
Alter an Operation for
Brain Trouble.

Charleston Post: Rev. William
Aiken Kelly has been DISCHARGED
from Roper Hospital and is now
at nome, recuperating from the
effects Of an operation on his
brain. Mr.. Kelly has been in bad
health for several years, as a
result, 1T is said, of a clot of
blood pressing on his brain, and
he recently entered the hospital.
where a successful operation was
performed and the blood pres
sure relieved.
The operation will probably
enable Mr.. Kelly to renew his
ministerial duties, which have
been interrupted by his illness,
but before this he will have to be
readmitted to the Methodist con.
ference Of the State, as his cre-
dentlals we're cancelled at the
meeting last December. Previous
to the revocation of his creden.
tials, Mr.. Kelly suddenly aban
doned his ministerial duties, as a
result of his affliction, and de-
parted from the State, and it was
a long time before he was located
in Virginia. He afterwards spent
some time in Charlotte, N. c.,
from which place he recently
came to Charleston to undergo
the operation, which will effect,
it is thought, a complete recov-
cry of health.
Mr.. Kelly's family and close
personal friends have been gen.
orally aware of his residence in
Virginia and North Carolina,
but it has only been during his
recent illness that his presence
in Charleston and the purpose
of his visit here became known
generally, this being the first
public report Of the popular
young minister's movements
which have been chronicled
since his sudden and mysterious
departure from South Carolina
some months ago.
Mr.. Kelly's many friends
IN Charleston and through the
State will be glad TO learn of the
improvement Of his health and
the wish will be general and sin
cere that he will rapidly recup.
crate and that he will be soon
again able to exercise the func.
tions Of the ministry, which he
did with such general satisfaction
previous to his affliction.

GrOwS No Cotton or Tobacco
But This Farmer Makes
Money With Live Stock,

Goods.
Progressive Farmer.

ter, Making Money Without q
Money Crop" | have decided To
give you some of my experiences.
l live In the midst of a cottop
section. My neIghbors are all
racing to see how much cotton
they can grow to the mule; the
other crops are never thought of
l know farmers who boast of
their many acres in cotton who
do not keep one decent milch co W
and have been hauling corn and
hay from the town to their farm g
Tor the past month or two. Thew
do not have the time to prepare
and grow garden to supply the
family with vegetables. Thew do
not know what good, wholesom q
living is.
l believe In Mr.. Scott's plan of
farming. While I am only work
ing a two-horse farm, yet YOU
will find more stock on that farm
than any six or eight farms in
this section and they are stock
that pay. We milk twelve cows:
raise all the young heifers we
can (Which are sold at good
prices, for we breed good stock :;
the milk is all sold (sweet) at a
fair profit; we raise we'll. bre d
hogs and all pigs fit for breedin e
are sold at good prices: the other g
are put into pork. We try to kill
one or two pigs each week from
October to March.
Corn is our principal crop. We
VOW about seventy-five tons sill.
age, to use in winter and early
spring for cal 9. We cut all our
corn and shred the dry corn,
which ls used as roughage for
COWS and horses. We also grow
oats and peavines which are fed
to stock. We do not buy forage
although we feed thirty head of
cattle and four mules and hors es.
We grow vegetables to use at
home and to sell. We try to hav e
something from the field to sell
every month in the year. | will
name some of the truck we grow:
Sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes,
cabbage, lettuce, onions, garden
peas, radishes, asparagus, straw.
berries, dewberries, and other
things.
And there is another thin 2
that we do in a smalli!way and
which | think other farmers
would do well to look into: We
can from two thousand to three
thousand cans of fruit, vegetab les
and berries every season, whe
other work is little slack-about
July and August. We can snap
beans, tomatoes, dewberrles and
peaches. You would be surprised
to know how easy it is to sell the
canned goods. We sold nearly
three hundred dollars worth this
past winter.
- This is busy life. We have to
attend to the cattle closely every
day in the year. We have a stall
for each cow, yearling and calf ;
they soon learn to stop at the
right place, and all you have to
do is :" f"?ten them. Thisiclose
attention accounts for our not
having lost a calf In three years
or more.
This is pleasant life to live
