The health of our people is very good, such a blessed contrast to the situation one year ago, wc.i the fatal "flu" was raging, nnd our neighbors sick and dying; the recol lection of it seems as a horrid mgnt mare, though we escaped with but two deaths in this immediate vicinity, and it is a noticeable fact that cur Smyrna cemetery has not a single (rrave from Influenza or ravages of the war. Evfery soldier boy who went out from us returned in safety, and we had 14 in the service Hog killing season is at hand find we have some fine ones in the Fork, just awaiting colder weather for their execution. The approach of Christmas is al ready in the air; how swiftly time speeds on, especially as we grow old. In my childhood days, it seemed an age from one "Santa Claus" time to another, while now tney come in jjuch auick succession, I can hardly i realize it. Dr. F. O. Hellier began a weeks meeting at Smyrna church yesterday. Today Rev. Mr. Clegg of Midway and Dr. Moorehouse of Lumberton are expected to assist in the week's ser vices. Thanksgiving service was conduct ed at this church by our pastor and a very liberal contribution received for the Barium Springs orphanage- I have been busy for the past two weeks at a "quilting party" composed for the most part of just myself, with occasional help from .ur little house-keeper, Mrs. Parish. I love to qtrilt but this long drawn-out job got the best of my finger tips, which became very eore from constant con tact with the needle points. Some times I grew a little discouraged at the lengthy task ahead of me and would be tempted to accelerate it by expanding my "rows", but always when such temptations come to me, I recall to mind an incident of my youth, when my dear mother, who was an exquisite needle woman gave me some little task of sewing to do. I grew impatient over it, eager to get it done and be off to play. In her sweet, gentle voice she said to me, "You have done this so well, now dear, take time and finish it up as you have begun, and when you are through no one will ask how long you were at it, but will say how nice it is done." I never have forgotten this admonition, and many times in my life it has been a great help to me. My quilt is neat and said to be very pretty, made by an old-time star pat tern, and I feel rewarded for my work. Two weeks ago, I had my first view of a whiskey still, discoversd in the big branch almost in si?ht of our home, by my grandson, Angus (Jim stead, and a colored tenant, wno went into an Island in quest of lightwood, and acidentally ran upon it. The equipment of the usual crude order was complete, consisting of a lard can, tub, and worm, but apparently had not been used in some little time I received recently an interesting, and well written letter from my "Truman" boy in your town, who I find is very fond of Southern history and begs that I would write "a whole lot about the Ku Klux Klan, and send it to The Robesonian, so he can read it and mama can paste it in her scrap book." 1 wish I were more fully able to grant my little friend's request (TV.

Rid System of Clogged -up Waste and Poisons with "Cascarets." Like carbon clogs and chokes a motor, so the excess bile in liver, and the constipated waste in the bowels, produce foggy brains, headache, sour acid stomach, indigestion, sallow skin, sleepless nights, and bad colds Let gentle, harmless "Cascarets" rid the system of the toxins, acids, gases, and poisons whicn are keeping you upset Take Cascarets and enjoy he nicest, gentlest laxative-cathartic you ever experienced. Cascarets never gripe, sicken, or cause inconvenience. They work while you sleep. A box of Cascarets -costs so little too. and the domination of Northern Car pet baggers, the scum of the North sent down Soutn to numuiaie ana tyrannize over a defeated, but proud snirited reorle. From this small nucleus, the Klan rapidly increased and spread through every Southern State. They were mysterious night riders, operating between mid night and the dawn of day. Robed in flowing snow-white earments. with" masks over their faces, their horses also completely covered . in white, with their feet safely padded, so as to cre ate not the least sound, they were a weird and ghostly looking procession, striking terror to the minds of all evil doers. They were the salvation of the South after the Civil war, and we shall always remember them with gratitude. We had a band of these silent white heroes in the Fork, some of whom I knew. Some were mem bers of our own family connection, and all were young Confederate vete rans, brave and true, willing to sac rifice their lives for the honor and safety of their beloved South land. Now, my Truman boy, if at any fu ture time I can gratify your interest by answering your pertinent ques tions on Southern history, you may just count on me so far as I am able, and I wish there were more of our growing boys and girls interested on this subject- I Mrs. McLaurin, my daughter, ef Latta, S, C, writes me of the death on December 1st of dear little Ruth, the 10-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Trey Sessions of Dillon county, with a request from her fanily that I send the announcement to the Robe sonian, as they have many near rela tives in this county, who doubtless read your paper. I knew little Ruth. She was a beahtifdl child, with soft brown eyes and ringlets curling about the fair young brow, but 3he was a child of affliction. The faculty of speech and hearing were denied her and she had been for two terms a pupil in a splendid state institution at Cedar Springs, S C, for the deaf, dumb and tl;nd where she was taken suddenly and violently ill of gastritis and the ten der care of the faculty nurse and Miss Katy Caddell has 19 at the Turn Out school. The Piney Grove colored school is in a dilemtna. One woman teacher with 60 pupils and CO more enrolled. The committee claim they can not procure teachers. SUPPER AT CENTER.
