BACHMAN CHAPEL NEWS.
Painful Accident to Mr.. Long-Suit
Against Southern for Killing a
Dog-Personal and Other
wise.

Bachman Chapel, February o.
Your correspondent has been confined
, to his room this week with grip, and
doesn't feel very much like writing
this morning, so I hope you and your
readers, Mr.. Editor, will excuse our
short comings.
A few nice spring days the first Of
the week started the plows to running
and it begins to remind us that the
time is drawing near to begin to
seed. The Bible tells us that where
ever our treasures are, there our
hearts will be also. I have felt this
to some extent this week. If my
treasures are anywhere, they are in
the field or on the farm. And l
would have liked very much to have
been in the field when the boys we're
turning the soil the few beautiful past
days, but it ism It a very good idea for
man to feel his Importance too
much. There always has been and al
ways will be, somebody to take care
Of these things. Let our avocation IN
life be whatever it may. After we die,
the world is going on just the same
as if we never had been born.
I am glad to say that [ feel consld-
erably improved, and if you had been
with me for the past few days, yon
would agree that DR.. Dunn is by no
means stingy with his pills.

We are sorry to hear that there is
a probability of some Of our R. +. u.
mail routes being discontinued. 1t
is bevond a doubt that this IS one
Of the greatest conveniences that has
ever struck the country. It will soon
be seven years since our route was es-
tah]ished. being one Of the first that
was put on trial, not only in the coun-
tv. but in the state, and the strong
support Of this route, together with
a few others was the means OF estaD-
lishino free mail in South Carolina.
The United States mail department Is
no play thing, she is going to kno"
lust exactly what she is doing. She
couldn't run her business on any 9TH

up your mail route, there isn't but
one way to work it, and that is pat
ronize it, give it something to do.

that he handles over three thousand
pieces of mail month.
