HERE AND THERE.

Apple blooms and ripe apples from
the same tree and the same as TO blue
raCC plums. pluckcd yesterday morn
ing by II. A. Elliott Of No 3 iorkville,
and exhibited at The Enquirer office,
bear testimony as 10 the unusual mild
ness of the present winter season. as
COMPARED with last year when, nj
about this same period there were sto-
rics OF people burning their furniture
TO keep from freezing.
OF course there were people at work
yesterday: there are always people al
work. But most people seemed to be
on the go. 1t was the beginning oil
Christmas week, and II is the time
when people feel they must move
around. Those who had not already
been to the stores were out to see wha'
they could get. and most of them
found something. Notwithstanding the
fact that the stores had been pretty
we'll picked over 1t will be the same
again today, with the people knocked
off from work, and still enjoying
Christmas. Money appears TO be NOR.
plentiful than il has ever been. ana
most people appear TO be able TO buy
what they want. There are some, OF
course. who are not so fortunately SIT
uated. 1t is always the case: but gen
orally il seems to be a cheerful Christ
mas.
The price of cotton is stiffening up i
little and while there are some people
who may be tempted, there are others
many others, who are contemplating
the situation with entire indifference
Here and There talked with FARMER
from Bethel yesterday. he sald nc
had sold some cotton and has a SooG
deal on hand. He has not quite palu
all he owes: but he is easy and Is no'
worried. He expressed the opinion
that some Of the holders mlght peslii
to let loose when cotton reached tnlr'
ty cents: but he does not know of any
in his neighborhood who are so SON IN,
cIincd. IF they do begin selling
around thirty cents" he said, the ef-
feet will be to give the bears some
temporary relief, maybe; but as toI
me, | feel sure that all we nave 10 &c
10 get good deal more than thirty cents
is just hold"
II has been reported that Dr.. Philip
Hunter, who cablcd not long ago that
he was in London, would probably be
home pretty soon. Inquiry OF John H.
Hart. ESD, DIR. Hunters brother-n-
law. develops that there is no author-
ity for this report. There Is no recent
information from DIR. Hunter since
the cablcgram. except some photo-
graphs. some taken while he was a
prisoner in Germany and others tax
en- since his arrival in England. He
looks all right in all the pictures; put
relatives and intimate friends seem 10
imagine that possibly he was a llttic
thinner while a prisoner than nc Is
now, There should have been n letter
along with the photographs; bnt u
has not come yet. DIR. Hunter was
attached to the British instead OF the
American army, it will be remember
ed. and the home folks have an IDEA
that now while he Is over there, ne
will prefer to work for whlle at least
in-ihe British hospitals.
THE most wonderful thing l noted
during my experience In the army
medical service" said DIR. J. +. Cra" :
ford formerly Of York county, now OF
Nashville, Tennessee, the other ua!,
was the army spirit as IT existed
even in the hospitals. inc doctor
had been spending a few days visiting
his sister. Mrs. Abel, at LowryVillc,
and his stcp-mother. Mrs. r. \. Craw, L,
ford. in Yorkvillc. THE army spirit
as II might be called for want OF a
better name" he went on, was no
,iceablc among the new recruits pc
fore they had been in camp week.
You could see manifestations OF II III
something like this from young feI-
lows dreadfully sick in the hospital:
Doctor. when the orderly gets TO
whore they don't need him, please ask
him to bring me a drink OF water.
II was n rare thing to find a boy who
seemed to think that his sufferings5
were of any importance compared
with the suffcrings of others.
