UP ON LITTLE RIVER.
Is. Il. Coward Loses Barn and Feed
Stuff by Fire.

Little River, Nov. Especial: Mr..
and Mrs. A. c. Smith have had very
sick child the past few days with
fever, but the little one Is doing very
well at this time.
Gus and Christopher Alexander, Of
Old Pickens, were circulating among
friends here a short time back.
Surveyor j. H. Wigington has
been working the past week in the
upper parts Of Pickens county. While
over there his pony strayed away, and
left the Squire to pony in with his
saddle, bride and surveying outfit.
This, he says, was enough without a
rider. This was pretty tough, but no
doubt Sallie and the babies were de-
lighted to see him come putting in.
Mr.. Hughs, the lumber man, went
raccoon hunting in the Whitewater
section the past week. All he caught
was very small opossum.
b. f. Coward had the misfortune
to get his barn and stable burned a
short time back. ALI his forage, with
ten bushels Of corn and the most Of
his farming tools, were consumed.
The barking of his dog and the roar
ing of the fire awoke Mr.. Coward in
time to get his cattle and horse out
In stall and he also got them out.
BY that time, however, the fire was
falling so fast he had to give back to
look after his other buildings, which
would have been burned if the wind
had been blowing toward the dwell
ling. This falls pretty hard OF this
farmer. He considers his loss about
500, which is a very reasonable fig
ure, the buildings considered.
j. Fl. Wigington lost his shingle
mill and fixtures in the burning. The
origin of the fire is unknown to your
correspondent.
w. Nj. Perry spent part of last Sat-
urday with his school mate, ID. e.
Nicholson, and family in the White
water section. The visit was highly
enjoyed. Mr.. Nicholson is good
hand on jokes and will give you a
good time If you go there. He said
ne went out coon hunting one morn
ing recently, and his dog treed up a
hollow stump, which he cut down and
only caught four, and that was not
much OF a stump for coons either.
After a few more like yarns dinner
was called and was highly enjoyed
by your correspondent. After being
seated at the table glance around
told us that there were only eight
children at this home. from Is down
to the cradle, and all in good health.
1t was then that we could see what
made the head Of the family feel so
good. After dinner we took a look
at his fine herd of cattle. With but
few words passed, one Of his milch
COWS was lined up, we divided part
OF our cash with him and turned
homeward. NJ

When I read this touching letter

When | read this touching letter
| said, BY the grace Of God we will.
Who feels touched enough to help?
Just little from each one would be
such a help. One good woman has
given the squares to make quilt.
Who will give the calico to put 1t
together, and the lining, bats and
thread?
We have one quilt ready to quilt.
Some of the Sunshiners made the
squares. We met at Mrs. Reese Ste
venson's home yesterday and put it
together to quilt. Three of our
young men gave the lining, another
gave the thread. 1t is cor a woman
who needs loving sympathy-deeds
Of kindness, just such as Sunshiners
give. She is passing through the
deep waters.
We hope to be able to get the
other quilt ready at once and quilt
both in one day next week. Mrs
W. G.. Foster has kindly invited the
quilters to come to her home and
quilt the quilts. We will have a
regular picnic. We are looking for
ward to it with much pleasure. AS
soon as finished we will send to this
woman whose loving husband makes
