Jack Frost has made his appear
ance in this section at last, but veg
citation did not suffer seriously on
account of his visit But it indi
Gates to US that it will not be q
great while until this country will
be disrobed and that its mantle oil
green win degenerate into lifeIess
yellow. Autumn is upon us with
its bracing air and golden leaves,
reminding us that dreary winter is
coming on apace.
Our farmers have commenced
sowing wheat, and Judging from
present indications there viii be a
large amount sown this fall. They
are improving on the old way of
preparing the land, which shows a
spirit of improvement, and will in
sure better crop, to my notion.
Our young farmers are not the ones
to stick to the way. that "pap' used
TODD, but are progressive, and they
show it by their actions. Cotton is
opening very rapidly now, and it
has been said by those who claim
to know that this will be the largest
crop in several years. Corn crops
are short but will make enough for
home consumption.
Paralee, daughter of Mr.. r.
Ayers, died few days ago, aged
about four years. We tender our
sympathy to the bereaved family.
The little sufferer has been released
from its pains and gone to bask in
the presence of Him who said "Suf
fer little children to come unto me-"
Mr.. John die has gone to Co
lumbia on business this week. Mr..
John and Miss Mollie p. were visit
ing at Mr.. Cheatham's yesterday.
Messrs. Frank Hammonds and AL
len Jones of Lawrence county,
with their families are visiting rela-
tives in this section. Miss Bette
Green of Hams Greek is spending
a few days here visiting relatives.
Mr.. j. b. Steen is speaking of re-
moving to West Tennessee in COM
pany with Mr.. John die, who will |
return in a short time. Ben is a
good citizen and neighbor, and we
regret exceedingly to give up one
whom we have known and respected /
SO long. We are glad to announce
that G. III. Cameron has about re-
covered from an attack of white
swelling which had threatened to
PROSTATE him for life. We hope he
will be successful in eradicating the
disease from his system entirely.
MIR. Robert Hays had quite Sc
we're spell of sickness last month,
but has recovered sufficiently to
visit his father on Blue Creek yes
lerday. Mr.. Sam Chapman is also
very low with a very painful rheu-
natism. We hope that he will
soon be restored to health. Messrs.
Tom Flautt and Gray Hopkins
nave opened up a stock trade in this
part OF the country. Knowing them
% be clever boys and good traders
We can wish them the success that
hey deserve as such.
