Then he went On more RAPIDLY
picking up the things and reading on
the names and passing them over
packages of all sorts and shapes and
sizes. all eagerly received. Some men
stayed TO see everything given out.
and some OF them went 10 their tents
to see what the folks had sent them.

But there were few. a very few,
who fingered IN vain; who among all
these gifts got nothing. and plainly
disappointed We're some OF these.
while others took Il neutrality-suspicious.

but still al bore it brayely: and be
sure that those who got shared what
they could share with those who had
nothing in the box.
What came in the Christmas box ?
Well. not much bric-a brac. not many
fancy candlesticks. nor card cases.
nor fancy purses. nor that sort of
thing, but mostly useful articles
though among these were watches and
pocketknives. and so on; but there
were home knit stockings. and sewing
kits, aud suspenders. and shoes. and
books. not forgetting Bibles and Tes-
taments; and tobacco and pipes and
cigars; all sorts of useful things
and many letters and pictures.
And from whom did all these
things come? From wives. and from
children; and from sisters, and sweet
hearts. and mothers; and il was that
that made them ali so dear. And

Mrs Northrup seized six bean
bags with which the little folk had
been playing and ripped them open.
Out Of the six she managed to get
two quarts OF beans. These were put
20 soak in water. and then she went
20 bed. Early next morning before
the others were astir the mother
found her beans swollen 20 four times
their natural size and proceeded to
make a stew or a thick soup. Other
beans were put in the oven to bake
and the meal was ready.
How welcome those uuseasoned
beans were or how good they tasted
can only be imagined by those who
have felt the pangs OF real hunger.
Every one ate al he could. for there
was enough Of the food for four full
meals. and capped the meal with
long draughts OF water.

Hunting Small Pox-And Found 1t.

hunCln& SmaRI FOX-Anu FOuno H.
Mr.. w. R. Bradley. one of the owners OF this
paper, Ia a good Seceder. and q strict sabbath.
rian, who wouldn't walk out In the fresh air
on q Sabbath afternoon, except for the benefit
OF his health, or to relieve the distressed.
He has a number Of the incest little boys that
ever %gladdened q fathers heart or made
joyous the mothers life. He didn't need any
exercise himself last Sunday, but he thought
a little walking would do good TO the child
rem. Taking them by the hand, father and
sons went toward the Seaboard station, by
which II was expected q train would soon
pass. Standing around among the waiting
crowd, he observed several cases OF small pox
people whose faces had good scales on
them.
What do you hin Mr.. Bradley thought?
Do you think he thought thai he and bis
ohildre ought to have stayed at home? No.
Not exactly tina But he thought those who
had the small pox ought 10 have stayed al
home. And 1t wouldn't surprise us at all II
the good mother Joined him In opinion as to
who ought TO have stayed at home.
AS vaccination prevents small pox. we
think that those who have the disease
should 20 about at their pleasure. A small
pox patient can't give the disease to any one
who would become immune by vaccination.
In q free country, we think that people
who want tho disease should be allowed to
have 1t. We take no sort OF stock in the
EFFORT OF our Medical authorities who try TO
prevent anybody from going at large because
OF fear that he may meet somebody that
hasn't had the small pox.

One of the marks OF an up-to-date city iR

the demand.
Abbeville has better physicians and more OF

In q dozen cases he had q whole seal
to himself and his bundles, and he
meant to keep 1t. The woman final
ly took q seat in the smoking.car
Soon after, the hog went forward tt
enjoy q cigar and found her crying.
"What's the matter?',
"Baby is very i'll, sir."/
"And where are you goingF"

"Leave you any moneyW
"Not a dollar, sir"
"Umph! Sorry for you. Let me-

The hog had been robbed of bis
bristle. Woman's tears had melted
him. He returned to his car, gather
ed the other hog about him and said:
"Come down! Poor widow-sicB
baby-no home. Come down."
The hogs went down after their wal
lets, and in ten minutes q handsome
was put into the women's hand, auG
the boss hog observed:
"There-there-it's all right-not s

She followed him into the next car
and a dozsn hogs rose and insisted

Must Not BE DiSann0inted.

Tn Daily Mail had q representative In
Due " est one day last week, and, besides
saying some very pleasant things about the
town, said that some Of the people along the
route are OF the opinion that the railroad
from Due West will never be completed.
Our good friend. the Daily Mail, must not
forget that they are today as In former times,
prophets OF evil. AS this newspaper under
stands. the Southern promised the Due West
people to either rent or sell the old iron that
the Greenville and Columbia road would re.
place with new iron. And we are here to tell
you, what the Southern promises 1t will do
The railroad from Due West 10 Donalds will
be completed. The only Disappointment to
Us at Abbeville was In the fact hat our good
neighbors at Due West turned their eyes to
Donslds, instead Of TOW srd Abbeville. But
the Daily Mail need have no doubt that the
railroad to Donalds will be an accomplished
fact.
Due West has long needed and wanted q
railroad, and that town will not now be dis.
appointed by the Southern. But in case dis.
appointment should come an electric cal
could be run on the line.
