The dry season has evidently
drawn to a close, for while we are
writing the rain is falling in gentle
showers, quenchiRg the thirst oil
the parched earth and reviving ma
ture generally. We know not how
to appreciate fully it's refreshing In
fuences, yet it came too late for
early corn. OF course it will be a
great benefit to the early crops, but
early corn is too far gone to derive
much benefit from it. It is hoped
that we will make enough to prevent
starvation. Ten days longer dry
weather and this section would
have been scarce of bread stuff an
other year. People will not make
corn enough to fatten what hogs
there are in the country. They
will have to SOW turnips on a large
scale and make every edge cut that
will curtail expenses, and practice
economy at home. Everybody will
have to work at some price or other
in order to live. Ladies will have
to retrim their hats and gentlemen
will have to dust up their old
clothes, and some of us will have to
take some to patch the others with.
The yellow fever reports are Gre
ating some anxiety IN this neigbbor-
hood, but we hope its terrible hand
will be stayed. We recoil at the
thought of the walls of woe and
misery that are likely to come up
from the doomed city of Memphis.
We had hoped that the dreadful
scourge would not break out in the
South this year, but alasl the I'M
certainty of human hopes. While
one portion of the world is being
depopulated by war and famine, an
other is being visited by pestilence.
Surely the wages of sin is death.
Dire calamities are visited upon the
world on account of the commits
sion of crime against the Divine
laws. 81 am the Lord, and beside
me there is none other" saith Holy
Writ and to him every knee shall
bow.
Mr.. G. @. Vaughan met with an
accident the other day that came
very near laying him up for awhile.
A horse kicked him on the foot,
but the blow was warded off by the
stirrup and the bones were saved
from being shattered. He is able
to be out and is improving slightly.
This accounts for his sporting a
pair of dainty slippers. Mss Mol
lie Tidwen of Pulaski is giving this
neighborhood the benefit of her ge-
NAL presence this week. At present
she il the guest of Miss Fannie
Parker. Such fair visitors are al
ways welcome to our village. They
always add to the interest of society
here, and Captain Charlie is smol-
ing sweet smiles and is looking as
happy as big sunfower. Mr.. and
Mrs. r. P.s Yancey have lately re
turned from a protracted visit to
WestiTennessee. Rev. Mr.. Zach
Parker is visiting relatives in this
neigh 5orhood now. Wish him a
pleasant time among the scenes of
his childhood. Mrs. z. j. Ander-
son is visiting her father, Rev. Mr..
Birdsong this week. Mr.. Anderson
accompanied her but will return
and keep bach. Jeems and Sam
are in a sad plight now; their hearts
have gone futtering in the direction
of Vale Mills.
Mr.. r. d. Cameron of LynnvIlle
Station was down among his rela-
tives and friends last week. He is
just recovering from a severe spell
of sickness and looks rather worst
ed bat we hope he will recover his
usual health. Mrs. John Fox has
been quite sick of late, but is slow
" improving noHs KULLY.
