It has rained and everyone is
glad; and if it continues you will
soon hear murmuring. From the
\ amount of turnip seed sown you
may cheer up. / think from the
talk you will be supplied next
spring with salad. The farmers
are making good use of these hot
days gathering their cotton. john
E. Williamson was the first to bring
new bale to the depot. 1t was
shipped to Nashville early last
week. Several others have bales
ready at this writing. We also
have to notice the Sickness of John
Fitzgerald who is Frustrated with
bilious fever; also Mrs. Henry
Reese with dropsy, and with these
exceptions the health of the neigh
borhood is good. Bell GrIggs was
unfortunate in losing his house and
all it's contents by fire, and also
some of his hogs which were under
the house at the time. No one was
at home and it is not known how it
happened. The neighbors have
shared his loss by donation. He is
now trying to paw the heels off his
| shoes because it is thirteen pound
boy. Mart Brown thinks Bell only
saw him one better, and says a
twelve pound gal beats none. @.
II. Harris and Sim Barnes of Bun
ker Hill, the former for the benefit
of his health, have been staying
with r. f. Mays several days. r.
