A JOURNEY TO FLORIDA
Descriptive Letter by One Who Made
the Trip in an Auto.
(Continued from last week)
Leaving "Winston we crossed the
Yadkin river over -a Icuig .iron bridge^
toir, 25c, right at Spencer; then, on'to
Ramopojis and Saulsbury. We passed the Stonewall Jackson training
school for wayward boys. It is also
the site of a confederate prison, and a
national oerneterv. Here lie 120 of our
boys in .blue. " It was once noted.as a
gold'.mining center. ' On to Concord
and Charlotte.. The latter is the county
seat of Mecklenburg.' Here the declaration of independence i^ said to have
been signed on May 21, 1775. There
ia a monument commemorating the
event, in the court yard. Another
tablet shows Cornwallis' .headquarters.
He called Charlotte a hornet's nest.
It is a nice city, worth seeing. At the
court house here Jefferson Davis stood
•addressing the people when he was
hatided the telegram announcing the
assassination "I .President Lincoln. '
Presidents Polk <uid Jackson JiveU
here', and President Tyler a short dis- ;
tance away. The old United States |
mint also was located here, and later
was used as an assay office.. Daniel
Boone "lived a short distance from
Charlotte, on Yadkin river.. It is a
"muddy stream about five miles wide.
l_ We left Charlotte, westward, over •&
rolling, clay country
ucts are tobacco and cotton. . Tobacco
is cured in long barns, with two sorts
of furnaces. They keep them-'at a certain temperature"for two days. There
was not as much tobacco as I expected
to see, but there was cotton ■ from here
to Granville, as far on either side of
the road as one cou'id see. I thought
we saw cotton enough for all the world,
and then to think of all the other states
that raise it. .
I wish I could describe how they
work it in terraces, to conserve the
moisture, and prevent washouts.

BO YOU REMEMBER
.When Dr. D. A. Post built and lived
in the now H. W. Bassett house?
When the York mill, then owned by
J. Hoyt & Son, burned, in August,
18&L?
. When Cornelius Parsons owned and
occupied the house "now owned by
Mrs. Gauniar?
When Levi H. Haynes kept a general store on the rorner, in the same old
building now known as the McKin-

Use the Newspapers.
Don't advertise on trees,or rocks
Afar from haunts of men.
You cannot sell the woodchuck clocks
Or pictures for his den. *
The squirrel may observe your sign
About your cure for chills,
And on it he may try to dine.
But that won't pay your bills.
The possum buys no breakfast foods,
We may as well confess.
So if you- want to sell your goods
You'd better use tho press.

to Spartansburg. It has iron and gold
mines, mineral springs and is a large
manufacturing center. Numerous
mills. About ten miles from here the
battle of Cowpens was fought, January
17,1781, when the Americans were victorious over the British. Proceeding
to Greenville we found a pretty little
town on the Reedy river, thence to
Duncan. Here \ye found some Michigan people, and camped. It rained
in the night and all the next day.
We started on in the rain, but might
better have waited, as red clay is so
sticky. It looks like Venetian red,
and sticks like a brother,'so if you
ever take this trip just wait till it
dries. It was our first unpleasant
weather.„
We iourneyed to Greenville, S. C,
thence to Oak Grove, Piedmont and
Anderson, oyer a rolling, clayey country, and on to Fairplay, where we
stayed all night. ■ People were very
pleasant and'it is an ideal spot. I did
so want to stay here.

of her childhood.
Lizzie Adell Warner was born on
February 8,1861, on the Beuben West-
fall farm- in York township. On
March 31, 1891, she was married to-
Theodore Josenhans and they went at
once to housekeeping on the Hammond farm in "Saline" township, where
they remained for a few months, when
they moved to the farm on which she
died. Her.fatiier died the next year,
after which her mother lived .with her.
She was one'of a family of three children,. Mrs. Everett Davenport of this
village being the, only sqrviving member. She is also surviyed by lier husband and mother, and is also mourn-
e"d by a'large number of relatives and
friends.
She was loved and respected by all
j who knew her and will be greatly
missed in the vicinity where she had
made her home. She was also well
j known and had many friends in Saline, Some perhaps of whom had just
a speaking acquaintance with her and
'perhaps knew her better by the grand
and upright character the bore than
by personal acquaintance;
Deceased was a member of the L. O.

Maeterlinck's  World-famed  Fantasy,
Comes to Tne Garrick Theatre, Detroit, on January 25, with the Stu-
-   pendens Hew York Production
and Original Company.
On Monday, January 25, - Maurice
Maeterlinck's exquisite fairy fantasy,
"The Blue Bird," comes to the Garrick Theatre, Detroit, for-iathree days*
engagement, having carried its message of beauty "and happiness literally
around the earth. This "wonderfully
beautiful Bpectacle of fairyland, which
ran for 26S days at the New Theatre,
New York, and which has never had a
No. 2 c'ompany, has made a triumphal tour of the entire country and
comes to Detroit with the stupendous'
New York production aud wonderful
company which have made it one of
the greatest .permanent successes in
years. v • .
"The Blue Bird" is a quest of Hap-
piness^ the heart's desire. The cur-
j tain rises on",a small brother and sister, Tyltyl and Mytyl, who-are asleep
in their bed in a woodcutter's cabin.
They are awakened by the'Fairy Bery-
(lune, who tells them to go In search of
the Blue Bird, symbol of Happiness.
She entrusts Tyltyl with "a marvelous
green cap which has a magic diamond,
the mere turning of which allows them
to see the hitherto unseen. _
' The extraordinary adventures of
these children through beaunfuMands
and regions of despair are made the
basis of eleven spectacular scenes which
cost the directors of the New Theatre
in New York $150,000. Lovely muBic
from the works of Debussy, Massanet
and Bizet enhances the charm, and
there are many group dances of large
numbers of young girls.
•"The.Blue Bird" is the child's delight, .the grown-up's Intellectual
pleasure. Its fairy magic, its wit and
philosophy, its simplicity and charm
has reached the hearts of all. It is a
mirror of the world, and of the stage,
drama, spectacle,, allegory, music,
dances, fun and illusion—all in one.
The cast of 100 ' is noted from coast
to coast. . The hero, Tyltyl, has been
played for two years by the gifted boy
actor, Jack Davis. With him, in the
companion girlish role of .Mytyl, is
little Harriet Mendel,.and many other
charming child actors'in silent as well
as" speaking parts. Skilled animal
actors, Messrs. Henry Duggari" and
Thomas K. Corless, are seen as those
funny creatures, the Dog, Tylo, and
the Cat, Tylette. Daddy Tyl.;and
Mummy Tyl are portrayed by JR. Morgan and'Ethel Brandon. The beautiful- figure of Light that guides the boy
and girl in their quest of Happiness
is impersonated by Martha Messenger
Others of equal interest are the ugly
but good-natured Fairy Berylune
(Elizabeth.Evans); Bread (John Suth
.erlapd); .Sugar (George Sylvester);
Fire (Angelo Romeo); Water (Gwendolyn Valentine); Milk (l8abelle Le-
Page); Mary Rehan, as terrifying
Night, and Dore Davidson as benign
and peaceful Old Father Time,
