cheeks from the pierching winds, our
hands numbed almost beyond feel
ing, we will find a pile Of -coppers in
the boxes, and with stiff fingers from
cold and the sun done down. and yet
we are miles from the office, we try
and try to pick up the cOppers and
count them, only to find on reaching
the Office that we either left some in
the box or dropped some on the
ground for which we must shell out
our own hard earned ones. Now let
us beg that every body buy their
stamps ahead, and by so doing oblige
the carriers and meet the request of
the postoffice department.
Once there was a patron of n lsu-
raj route who delighted in always US
ing coppers in his box instead of
stamps. just to worry the carrier. He
dreamed dream that he was dead
and went to hell and was assigned the
task Of forever picking up red hot
coppers one by one. After that he
always used stamps. Oh, if some
others could dream a like dream, and
to some extent realize it, what a
source Of help it would be, to us, when
We are trying so hard to meet all de-
mands made upon us and endure the

out giving credit to the efficient teach
er OF the Pisgah public school, Miss
Hattie Hussey. for this enjoyable and
fine school entertainment. She
workedsto make it success and ad-
mirably succeeded. without en-
croaching on her school hours to do
so. The children all learned their
pieces without dropping any of their
studies. after school--a worthy exam
pie that some schools would do we'll
to initiate. Miss Hattie believes that
children should go to school to learn
and not play, and in this she stands
with the noted educators of the day.
Our worthy route carrier, j. d.

Smithville. Dec. 2s.-Christmas
was spent very quietly in this sec4
ton. But little hunting was done
because of the wind which blew like
q. storm nearly all day.
The farmers have been wishing for
cold weather. They say that cold
winter denotes good crop year.
Their wishes are certainly being graf
ified. The ground has been frozen
like bricks for several mornings re-
Gently.
II the farmers will only diversity
their crops and not let the high price
this year turn their heads to in
crease the cotton acreage. the chan
ces are they will soon be on an equal
footing with the rest Of the industrial
world. I'm looking for an era Of
prosperity. Not only has cotton ad-
vanced In price but other farm pro-
ducts have. also.. Poultry and eggs
have brought better prices than ever
before; peas are selling at our door
for $2.00 bushel. OF course the
price Of living has advanced. but peo-
PIE on the farm can live much cheap
er than those Of other vocations.
They can grow nearly everything
they need at home and sell enough
to almost, II not quite, bug
the remainder. Thrift and ceono-
ruy will do great things. There
Is decidedly more in the man than IN
the land, 1t takes anything but an
ignoramous to farm intelligently.
Three cheers for the corn growers
Of South Carolina. Perhaps produc-
ton and pellegra will reduce the
price of Western corn at least. Coun-
try and town folks are beginning to
leave of grits. fearing lest they take
pellagra.

Mr.. Mason Con Slyn, Chsrlestown,
has been on visit to Mr.. A. A. Boy

- and last Sunday he spent in this
cit, as the guest of Mr. w. NJ. Bolts,
on Winchester avenue. While here on
Monday he favored us with pleasant
cill.

always been friendly to Mr.. Taft,
says: "At the beginning Of his term

standard set up by democratic pred
ecessor. Even unfaithful democratic
senators failed to make the rates Of the
Wilson tariff bill accord with ante
election promises President Cleveland
signified plainly his disapproval and
refused to sign the bill. He accepted
the responsibility of his position as a
leader Of his party and insisted upon
the Performance Of its promises. Pres
ident Taft preferred to follow and APP

as he said in his speech at Newark, N.
j., few days ago, 'all the newspapers
unite in hammering the sdministra-

great opportunity. He is still PERSONAL

to regain lost ground. This he can do
by remembering that he is president

he does not know this, lis party is IN
