AUGUST LIST. 1879.

] ADGUST Isl, 1919.
Mr.. az. O. Wallace, Dear
Sir:;-As it has been some time
since my last letter was written
tor the OBSERVER, / have conclu-
dedtowrite again to-day, thinking
that perhaps you would be glad
to hear something from this part
of the world.
We are getting along about
as usual. Farmers as a general
thing are through working their
crops and are doing nothing
but fishing, hunting and attend
ing meetings. Crop prospects
as a general thing are gloomy,
especially corn, which is very
small on account of the dry
weather. We have had very lit
tie rain this summer up to the
last week, but are having plenty
now, too much for cotton; it is
growing too fast and shedding
it's squares and I fear viii cut
the crop short.
Our county election comes off
this fall and the field is full of
candidates, and they are having
a lively time canyassing. We
have five Democratic candidates
for District Attorney, but we
are going to hold a convention
Iaad stop all of them but one;
Two for Representative; three
for Floater; six for Sheriff; two
for Chancery Clerk; two for Cir
cult Clerk; four for Treasurer;
four for Tax Assessor; and there
is no telling how many more
may come out for the different
offices, but we hope not many
more.
We have been having some
very warm weather for the last
few weeks, but Notwithstanding
this, some of our young and old
people have been having some
fun | suppose, as there has been
some marrying going ON among
them. There was couple mar
ried a few days ago in our little
town; the groom was seventy-six
and the bride fifty three, and a
few weeks previous this, Mr.
Ihos. Palmer, aged twenty-sev-
en-, was married to Mrs. Mary
Walker, aged sixty-seven. What
do you think? Do you think
there is any use in a woman iv-I
ing alone when she can marry as
young a man as that? ] suppose
that he wanted her in the place
of a mother as he is an orphan.
We escaped the yellow fever
last year and we pray to God
that we may escape again.
Wishing you and your valua-
bic paper success, l subscribe
myself, r. w. H.
