Housework as Recreation.
How many women look upon
housework as a recreation and a
pleasure? In the May Delinea
tor Jt)r. W, R. C. Latsou upholds
this contention, with somerenson
on the principle “Whatever is
done as it it were hardship be
comes such; whatever is done ar
tistically, on the other hand, is a
delight,” adding “When house
work is regarded as a 'means of
training instead of aB a toilsome
routine, then each trivial act be
comes full of interest and is done
easily, quickly and in truth artis
tically.” “1 have 6een women,”
he continues, “strong, handsome,
active and intelligent, who dur
ing a lew years of housework
have become bent and rigid, sal
low and wrinkled, ugly and hope
less, prematurely old. On the
other hand I know of cases where
through the proper use of house
work as an exercise and a recre
ation, as a method of training
mind and body, there ha3 oc
nnrro/l u ntnef romorl/oKlo i n
crease in health, strength, weight,
ease and grace ot movement.”
The pictures accompanying the
'article illustrate the proper meth
ods of performing household du
ties and are suggestive in a high
degree.
Drowsy Feeling.
Stomach troubles, pains in the
limbs and joints, loss ot appetite,
dull, drowsy feeling, is caused by
inactive kidneys. These organs
must be in a healthy condition,

In the “Old Dominion.”
Editor Kemper Herald :
I have just returned from a
three months’ visit to my uncle,
Mr. C. C. Matthews, in Loudon
County, Va., and thought proba
bly an'account thereof might
prove of interest to your readers.
I left Meridian on the 10th of
December, in company with lion.
Adam M. Byrd and his family,
who were on their way to Wash
ington. I will always appreciate
their kindness to me on this trip.
Mrs. Mary Byrd was a Miss Gul
ly, a member of one of the oldest
and most respected families in
Kemper, and one which is noted
for making everybody feel pleas
ant and at home; she being a
grand daughter of old “Uncle’’
Phil Gully, could not be other
wise than kind. •
Arriving at Washington the
morning of December 12th, I
took the train for Leesburg, Va.,
the old historic town that I have
heard my father and mother
speak so much about, where the
battle of Ball’s Blufl was fought
—in which my father participated
My cousin Charlie Matthews,
whom 1 had never seen, met me
at the train, helped me into a
sleigh (the first I had ever seen),
and we (Trove to his home, a dis
tance of ten miles, which we made
in about an hour. It was a very
cold day, but I didn't sutler from
polrl in the least: I enioved the
ride, and the ringing ot sleigh
bells,
I tound my uncle’s family to
be a very tine family, and such
pleasant people. It was a source
of pleasure to me to visit the
home, and the same house, that
my mother was reared in; and
tosee the old mill that my grand
father used to run fifty to sixty
years ago—and it is still in use.
And so much pleasure to me to
meet with my mother’s old
friends, whom she knew when a
school girl; and to see the school
building where she spent so many
hours.
I spent several days at the
home ot Mr. John Cochran, at
Land Mark, Va. lie is seventy
eight years ot age, and I listened
with interest while he told of his
and my mother’s childhood days.
And little did I think that I
would ever walk the soil that my
father trod duriug the war. I
went to the ground where my
father’s regiment (the 13th Miss )
had camped, and I also visited
the grounds near Oatland where
the 18th Mississippi regiment had
camped. I was in the Benton
Institute, which is near my un
cle’s, and which was used as an
hospital duriug the war.
I had the pleasure of visiting
the old mansion of President
Monroe. It is owned now by
Senator Henry Fairfax, a son of
the Gen. Fairfax who was Gen.
Longstreet’s Adjt. General dur
ing the civil war. The home is
beautiful. The place is well kept,
and the house is open for sight
seers. I also saw the burial vaults
of Mrs. Monroe and her daugh
ter, whose remains were moved
to mcnmona two years ago. j.l
would seem that Senator Fairfax
spends a great deal of time and
money in keeping up the place,
and is constantly making im
provements. The tenement and
out houses resemble a small town
The farm is a large one, and is
comparatively level. It is used
principally now for a stock farm.
They keep no stock but the best
breeds. In passing through the
farm I saw, I suppose, two hun
dred or more blooded horses. I
suppose that they had herds of
the different breeds of blooded
cattle.
I was st Aldie a number of
times, a small town I have heard
my father and mother speak of
quite often, and saw the building
where my brother. Dr. J. E. Tins
ley, attended school.
I also saw the battlefield
where Gen. Stewart decoyed Gen.
Pleasanton and his forces into a
lane at the cross roads (one mile
from my uncle’s), ambushed and
annihilated them.
I also visited Middleburg and
the cemetery in which my Grand
mother Matthews and other rela
tives rest. Middleburg is one of
the ancient towns of Loudon
County.

and visited tho homes ot the

I found well equipped for enter

A Tried and True Friend.
One Minute Cough Cure con
tains not an atom of any harm
less drug, and it has been curing
coughs, colds, croup and whoop
ing cough so*long that it has
proven itself to be a tried and
true friend to the many who use
it. Mrs. Gertrude E. Fenner,
Marion, Ind., says: “Coughing
pnd straining so weakened me
that I run down in weight from
148 to 92 pounds. After tryiug
a number of remedies to no avail,
One Minute Cough Cure entirely
Bpent three weeks more pleasant
ly. And nothing was more en
joyable than the sleigh rides, and
the ready wit of our drivers. All
the young men of the neighbor
hood were extremely nice to us.
I visited eeveral homes while
in Virginia, and was never treat
ed more hospitably in my life,
and I formed the acquaintance
of so many who will always oc
cupy a warm place in my heart.
I met a great many distant rela
tives who were excellent people,
and ouly hope to be always re
membered kindly by them. And
I hope sometime to have the op
portunity of being with them
again.
We returned to my uncle’s on
Saturday, and I found a note
trora Mrs. Byrd awaiting in e.
She invited m e to attend the
presidential inauguration and to
accompany them back to Mississ
iippi. So my uncle and Cousin
Belle accompanied me to Lees
burg, where I boarded the train
for Washington.
I attended the inauguration,
and through the kindness of Con
gressman and Mrs Byrd, I had
a most excellent time. I had the
pleasure ot meeting most of our
Congressmen and Senators, and
they were all nice and pleasant
tome—I being a Mississippian.
I was shown through the capitol,
the white house, the library, and
! >>ll f moof iniriArtont Kml/llll IfC
I found the weather much cold
er in Virginia than I have been
accustomed to, but did not suffer
in the least from it and had per
fect health. I hardly saw the
soil, it being covered with snow
all the time. I went theie the
12th of December and found a
heavy snow, and left there in al
most a snow storm.
The prettiest country and seen
ery I ever saw lies between the
Blue Ridge and Bull Run Moun
tains.
Having so much snow, sleigh
ing was the feature of the day,
and I think I shall never forget
the sound of sleigh bells.
