SKYLAND HOSIERY MILL rs
FLOURISHING LOCAL INDUSTRY.

The Skyland Hosiery company's plant is
located at East Flat Rock, and stands among
the leading industries of Henderson county
The mill is equipped with the very latest
design of machinery for the manufacture of
several lines of hosiery, and is running on a
paying basis.
Some idea of the amount of goods manu-
featured and shipped from the Skyland mills
may be gained from the fact that during the
month of March, 1915, 225, 900 pairs of mems
hose were shipped out.
: The company is active in promoting both
the working and living conditions of It's en-
ployes. Safety devices have been installed
in the plant, and every means employed to
prevent accidents.
The company has provided model cottages
IN which to house those working for it. The
village is desirably situated in large shady
grove, where precautions are observed for
keeping the health Of the workers up to par
Modern school facilities are furnished, and
the moral and religious interests Of the peo-
pie are carefully provided for. Welfare
work is encouraged, and the company lends
its aid to all measures looking to the I'M
provement Of the conditions of those work
ing for it.
The weekly pay roll is above $1,000. G.
F. Rogers is superintendent Of the plant.

Of our lives. We were young, every
body looking forward to better times
everybody an an equality, no big ]
and little you. Sociability existed
on every hand; neighbors mingled
together and enjoyed their bedtime
visits and evening suppers and were
happy. Again we cannot help but
note the contrast between those days
and the present. Don't know when
we have heard Of neighboring famil-
les meeting together for an evening
meal. not meal called out in
courses but regular old fashioned
meal spread on the table and every
body invited TO help themselves and
call for what they could not reach.
Supper being over and all seated
themselves around the fireside and
enjoyed an evening visit until bed
time when they took their departure
for home asking "What evening are
you coming TO our house." etc. All.
those were good old days and how
we did enjoy them.

Fall Duck Shooting

Holt county hunters are preparing
TO slaughter ducks this fall and they
have every reason tobelieye that they
will have good shooting. The season
opens September IL, both under the
state and Federal laws and no hunter
need fear the officers Of either state
and the Government so long a. they
have licenses to hunt and keep with.
In the bag limit Of IL for one day,
and twenty-five for two days shoot.
The abundance Of water should AT.
tract all varieties OF waterfowl this
season, and their migratory route
should, without doubt, he the same
as during the spring shooting season,
when the fowl follow the high waters
OF the Mississippi and Missouri la.
sins, Already there have been seen
few scattered Hooks OF blue.wing teal
In this locality and this Is the best
indication Of what the nimTods may
expect when the season opens.
There Is an abundance OF feed for
the ducks IN all their usual liaunts,
and this should result In continued
good shooting until cold weather
drives them further southwark. Us.
ually during the fall shooting season
for water fowl there are so few locali.
ties, outside OF the rivers, for the
fowl 10 resort TO that the intense
hunting activity at those few places
results In driving the birds further
south to avoid the bombsrdment.
This fall there will he plenty Of places
for the ducks to retreat TO when dis.
turbed In any one locolity. Some
hunters fear there will be too much
water and that the ducks will be
widely scattered, but this should not
be any worse than In the spring time.

In the first place prices of our pro-

to be driven either to Bigelow or

we didn't mind such little thing as
the grasshoppers coming In the fall
Of 1874 and depositing their eggs
which Matched out the next spring
and ate up every green thing In sight
except prairie grass and peanuts.
Those were about all that didn't ap-
peal to their ravenous appetites.
They left the Fourth of July after
which we planted corn and raised
quite a lot of soft corn and some
got enough to keep over the winter.
It was not very solid and would not
put on much fat but what would not
fatten would fill up so we got
through alright. As to vegetables
we sowed turnips and raised an enor-
nous crop. We planted late beans
which did well. We also planted
pie melons, which worked up with
sorghum molasses, made good
variety Of preserves, and by the way,
sheepsorrel, which we gathered on
the prairie made a pretty good pie
when sweetened with sorghum. Wild
plums and wild grapes were deli

Again we are left to mediate on
the past. While we were attending
the chautauqua, the fair, bargain
day, etc., our mind ran back to 40
years ago when we were young and
in the prime of life. The Fourth of
July was about the only day of re-
creation we had to look forward to.
While we were attending the Oregon
chautauqua the pioneer days were
wildly brought to our minds as Ore
gon was the place where most of US
heard the reading of the Declare
ton Of Independence and speeches
appropriate to the occasion. One
great attraction was the Indian war
dance as mel. Henry Sterrett never
failed to have Indians from the
White Cloud reservation come up
and give demonstration of the war
dance. They were real Indians and
knew just how to do it. While
standing looking over the grounds
and seeing that vast number Of au.
tomobiles decorating the grounds we
could not help but think Of the con-
trast between those pioneer days
and the present. In those days we
oil came in two.horse wagons and the
one that was fortunate enough to
possess a spring seat was in luck.
while the rest sat on seat boards
laid across the wagon box and some
on chairs. A few had umbrellas to
protect them from the direct rays
Of the sun. Buggies were as scarce
as hens teeth at that time. We re-

no money rs money was about as
scarce as buggics in those days.
Perhaps II may seem strange to
some why money was scarce In those
days. In the first place when this
prairie was first settled up II was
settled with rather poor class of
people and nearly everyone was In
debt. The original cost of the land
was just n beginning. We had no
stock law or barb wire and all had
to be fenced hog tight. Most Of the
lumber was hauled from the Mis-
souri, bottom, costing SIS per 1000
