As the farming season advances
the prospects for general GOOD
crop lessons; though it is though
that wheat will do better than was
anticipated some time ago. Cotton
is rather backward; in fact some
have already plowed it up and
planted corn in its stead. Oats are
doing very well and a large yield is
expected. Garden vegetables have
begun TO make their appearance
upon our tables.
Mr.. John Hamlet had very Sc

has been in a precarious condition
ever since; but we hope that he will
recover his usual health.
Death has again visited our COM
munity and borne away one of its
sweetest little flowers, the infant

loving parents had clustered around
its wee form, they yielded to the

mains to its last resting place,
where it will await the summons
that shall arouse to another life the
pale nations of the dead. For six
months only it breathed the air of
this mundane sphere, and then re
turned to the hands that gave 1t.
The burial took place at the family
grave yard last Tuesday. Quite a
number of relatives from Maury
county were in attendance. We
tender our sym pathy to the bereaved
parents. Mr.. f. Cheatham, accom-
panied by his daughter, Miss Flor
ence, went to Maury last week to
attend the funeral service of a de
ceased relative. Mrs. Henry Gates
spent a week with relatives in Law
renee county lately. Mr.. A. Alex
ander of Lawrence was visiting rel
atives and friends in this section
last week. Mrs. Puryear is so i'm
proved IN health as to be able to
visit her children at Vale Mills.
Mr.. H. D. Puryear the successful
bidder for the Moriah bridge was in
our town last week negotiating with
Mr.. Jack Brady for a contract.
Mrs. Mary Cameron and Mrs. Bet
sy Chapman spent two days in the
neighborhood Of Lynnville last
week. Mr.. George Black of Boden
ham, was in our town a few days
ago in the capacity of book agent.
A Sunday School was organized
at Hebron last Sunday. Quite
number enrolled themselves in the
cause, and it is earnestly hoped
that it will continue. DIR. Rivers

tain insects were seriously damag-
ing the crops. The farmers laid
great stress on their fears, and
many of them even INDUCED in the
prediction that there would be an
entire failure. Several weeks have
passed since the first alarm. The
wheat is now headed. l am unable
to say to what extent the insects
have been deteriorating agents. l
think the rust has mainly been con-
fined to the foliage, though l have
seen few fields that seem to be ut
terly destroyed. The yield will,
however, be larger than was expect
ed if the crop is not further injured.
