Some people who do not know
what a trouble it is to get up items
for paper have charged me will
running the wheat question into the
ground. Well; if l have, 1 will re
surrect it by saying that the yielC
is not as great as l anticipated
They are perhaps not aware that
am rather a strange chap; to say
the least of it, have some peculiar
characteristics, whether hereditary
or acquired does not change the ma
ture of the case at all. However,
am not generally given to exagger.
alton, nor in possession of anything
superhuous except ugliness, and
that as a matter of course, for my
mother says that l was the prettiest
lille fellow that she ever saw. And
was also a very tender-hearted
child, for 1 always cried when ]
was told to do anything. For these
unsophisticated predictions !
think am entitled to the clemency
of my merciless critics. l hope
that my seeming persistence in
speaking of one thing will be over
balanced by the pleasure derived
from the reading of other things
that 1 may have written, or may
write in the future. l am not the
offspring of poetical genius, D or rich
in Shakspearian thought; nor one
of fortunes favored pets or Venus
gifted sons; nor ever bought a first
class ticket on Solomon's express
yet it may be that l do the best
can and will leave the result to my
critics.
/ am still entwined in the meshes
of celibacy-have waited long, am
waiting still.
otis sweet to wait but awful bitter
To wait for girl and then not git 'er."
Farmers are threshing wheat; will
get through this week. The yield
is very light, from two to ten bush
els per acre. Corn is looking well,
especially that which was well cul-
tivated. Oats are making a full
crop-the first in some time.
Miss Fannie Parker gave her
friends the pleasure of a croquet
party not long since. The beauti-
full and The gay, as well as the man
ly and the brave, met and partici-
pated IN the initiatory game of the
season. Misses Ella and Tennie
Alternately of Pleasant Valley, Miss
Alice HAMLET of Wales, and Misses
Sallie Vaughn and Florence Cheat
ham of this place honored the occa-
sion with their lovely presence.
Messrs. j. E. Puryear, G. HI. Came
ron, p. A. Alternately and j. d.
Hamlet knocked the balls and cast
side chances at the ladies. Every
thing went as merry as a marriage
bell.
Mrs. Martha Inmon of Town
Creek, Ala, is on a visit to rela-
tives and friends in this section
She is accompanied by her two lit.
tie daughters, Adair and Matte.
We wish them a pleasant stay
among the scenes of their early
childhood. The Rev. r. w. Seay
of Marcella Falls was on business
trip to our burg last week. He
seems to be somewhat improved in
general health. Mrs. Puryear has
returned from quite a lengthy visit
to the neighborhood of Vale Mills,
whittier she had gone to improve
her health, which l am panied to
note remains in a precarious condi-
ton. The health of this commu-
nifty is not very good at present.
Our constable is just recovering
from a severe spell, and a little
of Mr.. Hayes is lying at
the point of death. We hope, how
ever that the little innocent will be
given back to the grief stricken
parents.
Rev. j. d. Barbee held the third
quarterly conference for the Lynn
vile circuit at Hebron last Thurs
day. But two churches, Salem and
Hebron, were represented. The fl
nancial reports were short, but it is
hoped that all arrears will be
brought up on the home stretch.
Our laborer is worthy of his hire.
The Revs. L. j. Duncan and Rob't
Craig, with Mrs. j. E. Alternately of
Pleasant Valley, were in attendance.
Services were to resume on Satur
day night, but the inclemency of
,he weather as well as the darkness,
Of the night prevented it. The Rev.
J. B. Anderson of Pulaski filled the
pulpit on Sunday and administered
The sacrament.
Mr.. j. H. Clark of this place con-
siders himself aggrieved, and the |
Editor flies to the rescue with a
vim. 1 did not think that the gen.
,leman would take exceptions to
,he appellation by which he is gen
orally known; nor did l even intend |
10 offer any disparagement to his
lame, much less think of insinua-
ing upon his character. A joke is
| joke with me, and with this apol-
,gy will leave his good name
where / found it. KULLY.
