Farmers generally have com
menced blowing corn, but have had
to plant over some of the early
planting. Cotton has sill been
planted but some of it is slow COM
ing up, but we hope there will be a
good stand to do away with the
cry for seed. 1 meyer heard such a
clamor for anything in my life and
it seems to me to be for want of a
proper appreciation of opportuni-
ties. Men will sell their seed in
the fall for and 10 cents per bush
ell and give 124 and 10 cents in the
spring, besides losing time enough
to buy three times as many as they
use. Where is the consistency? /
would suggest to some of our farm
ers the propriety of laying by sup
ply of cotton seed and sorghum
seed every fall so that they may be
at no trouble or expense in the
spring. Our little village is moving
along as well as usual. Nothing of
unusual interest is transporting since
your correspondent went back on
the bachelors club and turned the
matrimonial wave loose to move up
the branch. Haman built a gal
lows fifty feet high upon which to
hang Mordecai, but the tables were
turned and Hannah tested the
strength of his handiwork. So
lookout, young ladies'; but perhaps
a respite of two years will dispense
with the use of velvet cords and
hickory saplings. A couple of our
fairest young ladies who had a de-
sire to learn something of their flu
ture prospects, matrimonially and
otherwise, attended by Messrs. n.
S. Phelps and G. G. Vaughan went
to Big Creek a few days ago to con
suit one who claims to hold the key
to their future. After planking
down quarter for each head the
old lady proceeded to unfold to
their view their future state.of pros
perity or adversely, as the case
might be, as well as to picture out
to them the peculiar color of the
hair and eyes, aud the prospective
wealth and beauty of their future
husbands or wives. The parties
left satisfied with their "fortunes. :"
We hope they will realize all the
good part and never be unfortunate.
Mr.. JEFF Vaughan went also and
learned that his future would be
mixed and uncertain for some time,
but in the end he would come out
all right. Enough to say, however,
that half glass Of sweet milk and
a half biscuit is sufficient for hun
when he goes to see the young la
dies. Mr.. Bud Vaughan was down
to see his family last week looking
as well as ever. He is at present
running a grocery store at Gibson
vile. Being a gentleman of integ-
rity and business qualifications we
commend him to that community
and hope he will get the patronage
he deserves. Messrs. Jas. w. and
Charlie Vaughan have a spanking
new buggy and the young ladies
may be on the lookout, for they
have something in their heads be-
sides-brains. Mr.. George Witt
of Lynnville passed through our
burg last week looking as lovely as
a big sun flower. Mr.. Walter Bird
song was visiting his sister, Mrs.
Pleasant Anderson, yesterday.
The Rev. Mr.. Turner of Olivet
Station will fill the pulpit at He
bron next Sunday evening at four
o'clock. Wish him a full house.
Bro. Woodland held sacramental ser
vices at Salem and Hebron yester
day. The occasions were well at
tended. Our Sunday School Is still
increasing in numbers and interest.
Hope there will be no abatement.
Miss Parker's day school is still in
progress. . Mr.. F. H. Cheatham has
erected a shop of all work and is
making some additions to his dwell
ing. May D. hULLf.
