Hickory Grove, S. G., Dec. 16, 1912
Dear Miss Russell:
I want to tell you about our school
exercises for Christmas. Our teach
ers have been teaching us some pret-
ty songs and we are to have a debate
by the larger pupils, and wish you
could be with us. j don't know ex.
actly what else we will have but
hope we will have an interesting pro-
gramme.
1 also want to tell you about my
crippled rooster that I raised winter
before last. One day when I was
feeding some little chickens I found
one with its leg broken and 1t looked
as II 1t might die, and it couldn't
keep up with its mamma, So I took
| it in the house and kept 1t in there all
winter and 1t got all light, but didn't
bandage 1t up in pasteboard for
| didn't think about 1t and 1t grew
| crooked. The rooster Is grown now
and 1t hops on one foot and cannot
scratch. 1t will eat out Of anyone's
hand and Is a good old pet rooster
I know that when you read this let
ter you will say, 81 never heard OF
a rooster saving the life of little
chickens" but last winter this rooster
kept little chickens who had no moth
er under him while the sleet and snow
was on the ground. We had to feed
| them, for the old rooster couldn't
scratch and make them a living.
I will now tell you about the book
that Miss Rabb has been reading tC
US. The name Of 1t Is "a Trip to the
West Indes," and we all enjoy II
very much. 1t is an interesting
book.
1 am in the eighth grade and 1 am
twelve years old. I like my teacher
and studies fine and like to go to
school.
We have had society two or three
times since you were here, but we
have never decided whether we will
take your Current Events or not.
We have had lots of whoopine
cough in our school and one Of my
little friends stopped school today
with cough, but we hope that she
hasn't the whooping cough and are
anxious for her to get started tC
school again.
Our school will close Friday, Dec
goth, for Christmas, and we all are
| hoping to have a pleasant Christmas
I wish you merry Christmas and
hope that you will visit us again reaI
soon, as we are always glad to have
you.

Hickory Grove. s. y, Dec. II, 1912.
Dear Miss Russell:
want to tell you about my new dog.
! bought, named Rowdy, and the hunt
I had. Last Saturday arose very ear
ly and as soon as breakfast was over,
fed the dog, took my gun and shells,
called Rowdy and went to the woods.
First jumped rabbit and had long
race, then caught it. My dog then
jumped another and I shot it. So I
came by Dr. Leechs and gave Lucille
one Of them. 1t was twelve o'clock
when 1 reached home. So I hurriedly
ate my dinner. for had to work in the
store that afternoon; as 1 have been
helping quite awhile.
Two or three days before this 1 went
out after school shot one squirrel and
the next evening killed two. Today we
will have big, fat o'possum for din
ner that Mr.. McGill and I caught.
wish you were here to help eat 1t.
Our school is thinking Of having a
Christmas tree. We will be glad If
you can come. Yours truly,
Jet Smith.

Hickory Grove, S. C. Dec. 16, 1912.
Dear Miss Russell:
AS my teacher has requested me to
write you, I will send a few lines.
We are now preparing for Christmas.
The High School department is getting
up literary programme. We also hope
to have a Christmas tree. The school
building we are in at present, has four
class rooms, hall and chapel. 1t also
has two porches. We are expecting to
get in our new building soon. 1t Is
brick and will have six class rooms and
the chapel. There will be a cloak-roor
for each room.
Last year we had only three teachers
but this year we have added the tenth
grade and another teacher.
Miss Russell, we are hoping to have
you visit us again soon. The last time
you were here you did not hear the
seventh grade recite. Yours truly,

TREATING SICK ELEPHANT.

A mustard plaster and Il do;s of
gin and ginger comprise the cure for
stomach aches in the
New York ZOO. Elephants, especial
ly those lately arrived from the trop-
les, are liable to stomach ache of
nature sufficiently extreme to cause
them to roll on the ground in agony.
The external application of mustard
and internal application Of gin and
ginger soon brought relief. In APP
plying the mustard poultice blan-
ket is wrapped around the body of
the PROSTATE animal, over the plas-
ter, and upon this two or three men
stamp SO as to insure the close appli-
cation of the plaster. The ele-
plants, after one application, seem
to recognize it's worth, and submit
to further treatment.

UP-1O-DATE WATCH MAKING
Ingenious Machines Now In Operation
Turn Out All Parts Of =
TImepiece.

|. The rapidity with which watches
are nowadays manufactured has
been made possible by the ingenious
machinery designed within recent
years for the making Of all parts Of
watch. The speed with which these
various parts are turned out is.little
short of marvellous. Great sheets Of
brass and steel are cut and rolled
into ribbons and punched out into
wheels at the rate of ten thousand
a day from each punching machine.
Workers drill the thirty-one holes in
the roof of the watch as fast as they
can count.
Brass wire glides into machine
that measures off the length of
part, turns it, puts a screw thread
on each end and actually screws it
in at the rate Of two thousand day.
The screws are of such tiny size
that fifty gross of them may be put
in woman's thimble, while Of 9TH
ers there are one thousand gross to
the pound.
Balances are cut from the solid
steel, ground down, worked up and
drilled with their twenty-five screw
holes apiece at the rate of one hum
dred wheels day from each ma
chine.
| Wheels have their teeth cut. a
couple of dozen at time, some with
from sixty to eighty teeth, at the
rate of twelve hundred wheels a day
from each machine. - Harpers

Fort Benton.-Immigration into
Montana this year will likely exceed
that OF any previous year.
Thousands Of homeseekers. colon
lists and immigrants are coming into
the state daily. Many Of the settlers
are bringing livestock, particularly
draft horses and dairy cows. In the
past month 651 shipments Of livestock
have crossed the line into Montana,
comprising 1868 head of horses, 500
head of cattle and 236 hogs. These
figures are far in excess Of any pre-

The figures were obtained from vet.

Towns are springing up and there
is a big demand for lumber and build
ing material. A striking feature in
these rapidly growing towns is the
substantial looking structures that
are being built. In cases where
brick could not be obtained concrete
foundations sufficient to carry a brick
building have been put in. Over these
frame buildings have been erected,
