The ginnery in this place for several
weeks has been running only three days
in the week; another evidence Of a short

The whooping cough Is quite prevalent
In these parts, and it is among US at a bad
time, the beginning Of winter.
Thanksgiving was an ideal day overhead
and around, but it vas anything else un-
der foot. The writer never saw the ground
covered before on that day with snow. 1t
was an inch or two in depth. At this writ
ing not all gone. This did not serious
ly, as it did at other places, interfere with
any program arranged for its observance.
All stores and shops were closed, employ
ers and employees had a day Of rest. The
rural carriers were at home. Turkey din
ners "a few with the etceteras were in ev-
idence in honor Of the day.
While the main field crops, corn and cot
ton, in this section have been very short,
one crop is unusually large, i. o., the hog
crop. A number of u people, in town
and out, white anu colored, have either
killed, or will later kill, fat porkers, and
there will be more or less rejoicing all
around, in eating sausage, backbone,
spare ribs, etc.
We all have something to be thankful
for. In q late issue the Anderson Daily
Mail presents a new cause for thankful
ness. 1t says: ''Those may be thankful
who have had the same cook for a long
twelve months" If those who have had
a cook for so short a time, how very, very
thankful ought a family to be who had had
the same cook for forty-flve years, as the
writer had the same one that number Of
years; a colored girl came to US and after
being there a while asked to be bound to
us which was done, and when the inden-
ture ran out continued with us. We have
moved a good many times and the same
woman has followed us. We always where

her with a house to live in.

Lowndesville. Nov. 3Oth, 1912.

Mrs. T. d. Cooley, Mrs. ]. F. Gilbert and
some Of the children, went to Abbeville to-
day in an auto managed by Mr.. Bryan Lo-
max.
Last night a week ago, somebody, it Is
not known who, took Bob Moore's horse, a
good one, out of his stable and rode off.
Saturday Mr.. J. O. Cam, rural policeman,
went to the Falls and near there found the
horse wandering about. He brought it
home to the owner. While at above place
in talking to some Of the citizens, he
learned that several days before there had
been u strange darkey about there who
was an idler, a dead beat, who had got
money and other things from some of the
people of that place, for which he promised
to work. but had gone. Mr.. Cam was on
the lookout for him. He met him Monday
and brought him over here, and put the
matter into the hands Of Magistrate j. G.
Huckabee for investigation. Some wit
nesses from the Falls identified the negro,
and testified that he was a dead beat" a
~loafer, a vagrant. He vas accordingly
tried and convicted and given a fine of
twenty dollars or thirty days on the gang.
AS no one would furnish the dollars, he is
now wearing stripes working out the days.
MIR. J.. NJ. Baker, who had been here
about ten days, started to return to his
Washington, D. c., home Monday, on the
10 40 a. H.. passenger. He was accompa-
MED by his mother, Mis-. T. Baker, and her
granddaughter little Miss Mandaline
Franks, and Mrs. Charles 7. Baker, his Sis
ter-in-law, and her little boy, Master Chas.
Baker. The last two above given will go
on to their New York home.
Rcv.J. G.. Chandler, pastor Of this charge,
gave his last preaching service for this
conference year in Smyrna church Sunday
at 100 p. III. He and his wife went to An
derson Tuesday evening and were there
during the session of the conference, the
one Il prominent member of that body, the
other taking advantage of the occasion to
spend a few days with the family of her

Then let's compare city and coun-
try amusements. In the city we find
modern country clubs and numerous
play houses, while every park has one
or more tennis courts, golf links, etc.
What have we in the country to sur
pass these?
We all know that the most import
ant business is transacted in the cit
les. Does the President Of the United
States or even the Governor of South
Carolina have his home in the coun-

breathe the pure, fresh air? Because
he must be where the important af-
fairs of our whole country are dis
cussed, where bills Of different ma
lures are introduced and laws made.

Rural Mail Carrier Finds Friend
FIoundering IN Sticky Ooze.


Twas bright morning. Over

chirping of the robins gave token of
spring. Rural Mail Carrier Milt
Grant whistled blithely as he ira
versed his familiar road until he
struck the mud on the McBee hill
when he ceased to whistle and be-
gan to think things. Some times he
thought out loud and his language
on such occasions, caused the chirp-
ing robins to scold and fly away. FL
nally, on his way up the hill, he mo-
ticed a new derby hat in the road
"Ah, ha, new lid" says Grant, as
he guided his faithful nag toward
the headgear, 'I see where mail
carrier gets what he has long want
ed" But hardly. AS Grant attempt
ed to pick UP the hat he uncovered a
human head of tumbled hair and
was naturally shocked
What the -" began Grant, but
he got no farther
''Hey, clap that lid back on, what's
the matter with you," spluttered q
voice from the depths of the mud.
| 'I'm the foreman at the Portland
Cement companys quarry and I'm
on horseback, and if youll let me
alone I guess I'll get out of this mud
all right
So Grant floundered on and, al
the top of the hill, turned and
watched the Cement man emerge
from the ooze.
