REAPER OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Lake City, Sept. 6:-Robt j Kirk,
. Esq, was noted in town from King
stree one day last week.
DR. H L Baker of Lambert spent
Saturday in town on business.
Last Thursday Mr. G F Stalvey
was called to the bedside of his
father, who was said to be extreme
" i'll at his home near Conway.
MrJ Duke has returned home
from a stay of several days at Glenn
Springs.
Mr. j C Young brought into town
last Friday a squash that weighed
seventy-four pounds! 1t has been
on exhibition since in front of Sauls-
Baker Co.'S store. Of course it
was grown right near here on Mr.
Young's farm. Mr. G L Sauls says
that pies made from this squash
will be on the bill of fare of the
Halcyon hotel the opening DAY.
Mr. John Casselman died at his
home near High Hill on Monday of
last week. He was eighty-six years
of age, and his long life was spent
in the same neighborhood in which
he was born and died. He left
three sons and three daughters and
numerous grandchildren. A quiet,
inoffensive man, a law-abiding citi-
zen and kindly neighbor; he pass
ed his years "along the cool, Sc
uuestered vale of life During his
span of life what changes have taken
place! For instance, he was two
years old when Thomas Jefferson
and John Adams died, and he was a
grown man before there was rail-
road in this country. Think of that!
Mrs A @ Hutchinson died at her
home near Anderson's Bridge last
Tuesday. Her husband and several
children remain on this side of the
ferry.
Mr-Puckett, the new superinten-
dent of our school, has arrived with
Mrs Puckett, and have taken up
their residence in Charles street.
Bette Gaskins, the youngest
daughter of Mr. and Mrs J H V
Gaskins, died last Wednesday night.
This bright and lovable girl was
about twelve years old. She was in
her accustomed place at Sunday
school on last Sunday and was
stricken Monday with the malady
which snuffed out her young life in
few hours. The funeral services
were held at the Baptist church
Thursday afternoon and the remains
laid to rest in the Casselman bury
ing ground, where so many Of the
family sleep their last sleep.
During two days last week, Thurs
day and Friday, three hundred and
thirty-two thousand pounds of to-
bucco were sold upon this market.
The Thursday sales were the larger
of the two, but even the quantity
on the floors Friday, one hundred
and twenty-eight thousand pounds,
would have swamped some markets.
Here the facilities and the men were
equal to the occasion and every
thing went along smoothly. The
prices were good, the average being

that the Great Black Things that have
doomed against the horizon of my life,
threatening to devour me-, simply
doomed and nothing more. They harmed
me not. The things that have really
made me miss my rain have always
been sweet, soft, pretty. pleasant
things of which 1 was not in the least

Think of that the mex time the
Great Big Black Things loom for
you, dear girls who work, and when
Thanksgiving comes count among your
blessings the things that have made
you able to meet modern conditions,
the things which have hardened your
mental muscle, the things which have
made you a strong woman, a capable
woman, an Independent woman.

or, failing that. has at least her own

So now we have recorded two great
blessings-work and independence, and
to these I will add a third-freedom.
Have you ever realized how the
woman Of past times was bound down
by conventionalities? Not by the few
big ones, which we must all observe for
safety, but by certain petty restric-
lions, which made it impossible for her
to travel alone or TO go out alone, or II
she braved comment and went alone
there was danger that she would not
meet the courtesy from men which they
gave to sheltered women. But now
times are changed. Women go about
by day and sometimes by night with
out the finger of scorn being pointed at
them. In big cities there are hotels for
them and Young Women's Christian
associations and clubs and settlements
and all sorts of places where they may
mingle and read and learn. Then there
is the freedom to pursue ones calling

the famous dressmaker of tomorrow.
Big stores have women buyers on big
salaries; stenographers share the
secrets of the firm; there are openings
everywhere for stored-up energy.

to a dear little lady, who confesses to
forty years, and who lives alone in a

you know that right-minded men are
beginning to accord you a place in
their minds II hearts, which is one
of honor? There was a time when the
idle woman received homage. She may
get it now by virtue Of her beauty OF
her wit. but for nothing else. The
world wants people to be up and do

less than of it's men. =

OF course, 0 Won't believe 1t. No
man Or woman ever believes In the joy
or dignity of labor until some day their
work is taken away from them and

the invalids who must live always in
