Good News Letter From Har-
dys Community.

/ have seen two such nice letters
from the Sweetwater school, that
thought you might think we were en-,
ltirely off of the map, now that oul
Hardys correspondent has left US
but we are still jogging to school as
usual and having pretty good time
between times.
We have had quite a time getting
to school in North Augusta, having
to drive six miles every morning, but
we know it is worth while, as we have
zone of the finest schools in the stat:
land one of the best corps of teachers
we have ever had. The school is doing
lsplendid work in each grade.
Mr.. Lanham, our beloved pastor
preached for US Sunday. He is filling
the pulpit until we can get another
pastor, as he has resigned. We all
love and respect him and shall miss
him very much.
Mrs. Julian Townes has just re,
turned from Mrs. Jas. Mechanics,
where she has been for a few days.
we all miss her when she is off, and
are glad when she comes home as she
is one of our good Samaritans.
We have had quite a number of
cases of flu in our neighborhood. Mr..
Bunch's children, Merrsr Ed Foucher,
Frank Townes and Mrs Wise and
children, but am glad to tell you that
our fine young DR.. Mathis has been
very successful in treating them all.
and they are on. the road to recovery.
The farmers are getting very anx-
ious to get to plowing again as the
rain has kept them back for several
weeks. There is very little cotton. talk
lin our neighborhood. They are all
fencing their lands and beginning to
talk stock raising, dairying and plant
ing grains before the boil weevil gets

Mrs. Ellie Briggs and Mrs. T. ].
Briggs have gone to Florida for lit
tile visit to Mr.. John, Luther Briggs.
| fsslS are so glad they are having such
a good time, but we can't spare them
very long. When "Miss Nell" is out
of our neighborhood we all are just
lost until she returns,
1t is hard for us to tell which gives
us more pleasure every week, Miss
Florence Minis or Mr.. Stanmore
Townes. They both write and de-
scribe wonderfully.

Sweetwater Gleanings.

The weather for the past week has
been pretty much of all kinds except
dry. The boil weevil has had plenty
Of chances to wash his face in the
dew without having to break the ice.
The night of the 18th and the
whole of the 18th made him put on
his overcoat and draw nigh unto the
warm corners as the thermometer
sought the low levels on those dates.
Mrs. S. w. Gardner, Sr., was real
i'll for few days last week but her
condition had improved great deal
and she was well on the road to re-
covery the last we heard from her.
The friends of Mrs. j. T. Reese are
glad to learn that she is improving
from recent operation of tonsilitis.
She is spending some time until her
recovery at the home of her mother,
Mrs. II. C. Robinson, of Augusta.
Mesdames Z. G. and T. j. Brigg:;
are visiting Mr.. John Luther Briggs
in Florida. They write that they arc
having a great time.
DR.. j. T. Reese and Mr.. F. B. Bar
ker went to Edgefield last Wednes-
day to bring back a new, up-to-date
"Tin Lizzie" But when the doctors
old car gave the new one few dots
as to the condition of the roads down
in these parts, the new car absolute
| ly refused to leave your town.
Now, both DR.. Reese and Mr.. Bar
ker are expert Ford nurses, and as
sured the young Miss Ford of the
best treatment in their power, bn'
they couldn't prevail on her to pull
down hill when her face was turned
/! towards our roads. Maybe Mr.. Broad
water can induce her to come this
way on promises.
We hear that the "hu" has beer
raging all around US, but so far have
heard of very few cases in this neigh
borhood.
We had Valentine Box at Sweet,
water school house Friday which was
enjoyed by all. Our teachers worl
overtime to make our school inter
esting as we'll as instructive.
We have a very flourishing Liter
ary Society which promises to turr
out some able orators Of the mascu
line sex and some brilliant suffra.
gettes frc n the fairer sex.
There will be an Oyster Supper
given at Sweetwater School on the
night of Friday, February 27, al
1880 o'clock. All friends and patrons
of the school are cordially invited
Proceeds will go toward school i'm.
provement.

Notes
Home Demonstration
for February.

Garden: Sow in hot-beds-egg
plants, tomatoes and pimentos. Last
of the month sow in open ground.
early peas, spring kale, beets, spin
ach, carrots, celery, radish and pars-.
Iley. Set out asparagus roots, onion
sets, horse radish roots and hardy
lettuce plants. Early planting of po-
tatoes can be made. -.
Poultry: Remember to hatch chick
ems early, as early Matched pullets-
make best winter layers. Each year
thousands of eggs are lost after the
eggs have been put under the broody
hen. The setting hen is usually placed
in an open place where other hens
are allowed to modest her. This re-
suits in many broken and chilled
eggs and poor matches result.
When given proper attention the
hen is the best and most valuable in
cubator for the farm, but the follow
! ing factors must be observed: The
nests should be properly constructed.
Take soap box 16 inches square and
& inches deep. Fill in with at least
2 inches of moist soil or turf. Mold
the shape of the nest, filling in the
corners with the soil. After this COM
plete the nest with either good straw
or hay.
Broody hens should be transferred
to permanent sitting nest at night
and allowed to sit on China or nest
eggs for day or two before trusting
them with good eggs.
In order to protect the sitting hen,
a light wire frame should be con-
structed which will rest directly over
the nest. 1t should be about 10 inches
high to allow ample room for the
hen while resting on the eggs.
After the eggs are placed under
the hen she should not be disturbed
for two days. After. the second day
she should be taken off once each day
till the 18th day. She should be al
lowed to remain away from the eggs
from 10 to 80 minutes depending up
on the temperature.
Whole corn is the best food for sit
ting hens. Never feed them moist
mash as that is too easily digested-
Water, grit and a dust bath should al
ways be provided.
All eggs should be tested on the
seventh day which makes it possible
to reset some of the hens.
Toe-mark chicks when hatched.
This enables to tell age of chicks and
also breeding when they become ma
tured.
1t is important to give an applica-
ton of insect powder to hen before
placing her on setting of eggs So
'dium.Flouride is strongly recommend
ed, but in case it is not available, use
any good powder. Give the hen
second dusting on the 18th day. In
the way the chicks; when Matched,
will be free from lice.

Miss Florence Minis Writes
From Boston.
Dear Advertiser:

I
l sometimes think that if / could
photograph the thing / have to say
to you, things that I plan and try to
write, perhaps the picture would not
/, be displeasing one. When l sit and
try to send my thoughts through the
medium of a pen point they become;
musty and sordid, the sort of things
that you read anywhere. / have the.
desire to be distinctive, but "the best
laid plans of mice and men do aft
gang. glee." Il;
1t is quite coincidence that this
particular quotation should have:
come into my mind, for had the
pleasure of seeing such a lovely
statue of Robert Burns the other
day, which l had planned to write
about in this article.
Sometimes l have to take far trips
for my inspiration, and then again ]
walk one block from my. room and
see something worth while. That is
what I did yesterday afternoon.
This statue of Burns, recently
erected by one of the societies.
organized to perpetuate his memory,
stands alone in the Fenway Park,
surrounded by trees and shrubbery.
1 tramped through the ice-crusted
snow and on reaching it found about
eight little children sliding down the
snow banks at the base of it. They
each had tiny little sled about three
feet long, and each one seemed 10 be
having the time of his life. One little
girl asked me if l would not like to
coast down the hill. l sat on the sled
behind her and went rushing down
the incline with perfect safety. When
/ told her that l had never seen any,
thing of the sort till l came to Sos
ton, she asked if l came from Texas,
which was the most distant place she.
had learned in her geography, maybe.
Then one of the little boys explained
the technique of guiding the sled and
suggested that go down alone. Since
l am more daring than I dare to be-
lieve, 1 got on, but forgetting al! my
newly acquired knowledge, rolled
headlong in the snow, which was part
of the sport.
Then l came back and looked at
the statue, for since l have become
grown l have to put away childish
things.
In one hand the great Scot :iman
held a book and in the other staff
and what seemed to be a Scottish
bagpipe, and his dog stood at his side.
His dog and books were perhaps h.s
best friends, as they are in many in-
stances of all mankind. The face
gave one the impression that he was
seeing far things, visions not OF this
world, which he embodied in his
poetry.
That is the proof of great statue,
that one forgets it is marble and sees
only the artists thought through it.
And the other proof that this was
beautiful and true thing was that it
made me entertain certain thoughts
as lofty as the idealism of the man.
Very soon l am going to near a
great living Scotchman, Harry Lau-
der, who /. can interpret in still an
other way, through his versatile skill,
the real romance of Burns natlve
land, Scotland.
