| do not feel very much like
writing this morning,nevertheless,
I will try and write a few lines.
The rainy season is holding off
longer than ever before within the
memory of the oldest inhabitant,
and it will cause much suffering
among the natives. We have a
shower, or what at hoine would be
balled a good rain, every day, but
at this time of year it should.be
raining, 'nearly all the time.
At present the country is in a
deplorable condition, owing to a
flight of locusts.. There is hardly
a field of rice or corn in this whole
province which • has i npt suffered
greatly from this pest. ’ T&e na-
t-i,.* iu: ite?
claim that this ssthe worst
it. fOr 17 aEggjSi
7 years, and say many
people Avil} die of-starvation -nfext
year, owing to the entire crops be?
ing devastated. The locusts were’
actually so thick that it was im
possible to seethe woods 200 yards
from our quarters. There wks a
large field of. cqeh between otir
quarters and the woods, and now
nothing bqt the stalks remain. '
Rumora reacheihere yesterday
that the French had been repulsed
by the Chinos at some place, un
known to us, and that next day
the English and Americans drove
the Chinos out. Hope it is true.
It is furthur rumored that the
18th, 2nd battalion, are booked
for China in the near future. If
this be true, I trust that we will
give a good account-of ourselves.
I do not suppose you hear much
of the. 18th, as we have not had
any fierce fighting, and the truth
of the matter is this: The insur
gents fear the 18th, and as much
as possible they avoid coming in
contact with us. On the other
hand, they harass the 19th, 26th
and'44th a large part of the time.
They have also attacked Calios,
where the 6th is garrisoned, but
were repulsed. If we stay here
the rainy season, I do hot antici
pate any trouble from them.
As long, as I am over here, it
would suit me exactly to be sent
to China.

MOSSY HILL NOTES.
BY SOCKS.
Mossy Hill is on a
great b
boom.
In Memorials.
Written for the Home Joobxli..
On the night of August 29th
Farmers are getting out the fleecy j God, in His allwise providence,
staple and making hay \|hile the saw fit to remove from the Meth-
sun shines, and the coons are hav- odist church at Henderson. our
ing mullet Buppers and otherwise beloved friend and sister
seeing the best part of life.
The crops will he short, but the
price is tickling the natives con
siderably.
We hear a great many side re
marks about the present price of
cotton turning the farmeifi’ heads
and causing them to sacrifice their
prospects' by.planting all- cotton.
Sifch rot is an insult to the intel-
genf-farmers of the country. Look
back at the past and see who did
it. It was not the farmers. Why,
a few years ago the most Worthless
negro had only to get tip a basket
of shucks and make application
to some merchant for a $200 mule.
He didn’t only get the mu|e, but
the fat of the land,and finally the
merchant, too. But we do not
expect a repetition of such affairs,
for the merchant and the farmer
have learned that their, interests
re identical, and will pull to
gether. No better proof of this
could be pointed out than the
pledges made the farmers by the
banks and warehousemen to aid
them in not forcing the cotton
crop on the market in 90 days, as
has heretofore been the rule.
Republicans Proud of Pension List.
A Republican campaign docu-
moni points out that during the
administration of McKinley a to
tal of $421,000,000 has been paid
out for pensions; that last year
the pension payments amounted
to 24 per cent, of the total reve
nues of the government, and that
52 per cent, of the pension appli
cations under McKinley have been
allowed, while under Cleveland the
percentage allowed was 31^.
In other words,’the Republicans
are pluming themselves upon hav
ing instituted a wild riot of pen
sion grabbing and treasuryjraiding,
The document is likely to make
Democratic votes.
The people desire a party in
power that will take pride in pro
tecting the treasury, not in loot
ing it.—Ex.

can speak for the farmers of this
community. They will still con
tinue to sow oats and wheat, plant
corn and raise meat. Why, in
discussing the matter with one of
our best farmers a few days since,
he declared he would plant less
cotton another year, for he said
this crop would pay him out of
debt, and he could turn his atten
tion to more agreeable life. That
labor was too scarce and inferior
to worry over cotton, when he
could make grain, meat, etc., at
so much less risk and with so much
more pleasure.
We are proud of Mr. Joe Q. El
lis’ corn crop. We have known
59 bushels per acre on Mossy Hill.
The test .before the last'wheat
convention showed what could be
done with wheat. The cr^ once
was that we couldn’t get good
flour from our wheat, but that
will not go now, for w6 have pat
ent rollermills all over the coun
try now that make as good flour
as can be made.
Our school at Henderson enjoys

HalTsFamily Pills are the beat
Christ, Mrs. Hugh Malone.
She lived among us only three
years, yet in that short time we
learned to love her dearly. Her
heart was always full of love and
sympathy, for mankind. Manj
fevered* brow felt the soothing
touch of her gentle hand; and
many rising tear- drops sank back
to their calmed fountain at the
voice of her tender. sympathy.
We feel that her life in this com
munity has certainly been a ben
ediction.
For a number of years she was
a member of the Methodist church
—a- generoue, liberal, whole-soul
ed Christian. We deem it our
Christian privilege to offer, as a
token of our love, the following
resolutions:
Resolved 1st. That in the death
of our sister, while we miss her
sadly in the church and Sunday
school, we bow in submission to
the will of Him Who doeth all
things well.
Resolved 2nd. That we tender
our sympathy to the bereaved
ones, praying our Heavenly Fath
er to comfort them in their sor
row.
Resolved 3rd. That our church
has lost one of its most beloved
members; that we will-strive to
emulate her life and will ever
cherish her memory as the fra
grance of sweet flowers.

presence of mind as was exhibited
by William T. McCracken, who
was fatally injured While repair

Kansas City. In some way the
line became crossed and McCrack

“Don’t toiich me,” he cried to a
bystander who hurried up, “you’ll
be killed if you do. Get a dry
board and stand on it and wrap
your hands in a felt hat, then you
can get the wire off without hurt
ing yourself.” The man dashed
off in search of the board, but be
fore he came hack McCracken was
dead, the wife still grasped in his
qharred hands.

A most singular, a most pathet
ic and a most loyal state of affairs
exists in Maine. Congressman
Boutelle, a member of congress
for twenty years, is in a lunatic
asylum, and his case is deemed
hopeless. Despite this, his loyal
friends, insisting that should he
recover and find another man in
his seat in congress the result
would be disastrous, the republi
can convention renominated him
and he will probably be re-elected,
as his district has a safe republi
can majority of over ten thousand.
There has been no higher evidence
of loyalty in politics than this.—
