Our farmers have a faint hope
that they will get their last years
crop gathered before the time comes
to plant another. In all of our ex-
perience we have not seel as much
corn and cotton in the fields at this
season of the year as there is now.
Mr.. w. S. McMlllion is danger

tertained of ais recovery. His little
daughter, who has been confined to

ing walnut logs.
p. H. Baker will leave Wednes-
day for Utah.
One of our neighbors lost a valu-
able horse recently with blind stag
gers. An old negro woman ex-
pressed the opinion that some one
had put spell on it. The epizoot-
ic still prevails among the stock
here and in a much more danger
Gus form than when it first made
its appearance.
John W. Henry has been lying
very low for several days with
pneumonia.
The greatest curiosity of our
neighborhood is an old negro about
100 hundred years of age. He new
er wears q coat and was never
known to cultivate a crop with a
pillow, doing all his work with the
hoe.
A strange disease, called by some
consumption, has made its appear
ance among Mr.. Robert McCaris-

her limb broken last fall, has recov-

Gordon has been in delicate health
for a long zine but is now i'm
proving. j. L. F.

The Methodists contemplate build
ing a church in this vicinity very
soon. Brothers Moore and Witch

residence and the toll gate. The
ground for the purpose is to be do
mated by Mr.. Lee. Mr.. Parsons
intends soon to remove his steam |
saw mill to Clock creek, just above
Mr.. James Moore's. 1t will be
great convenience to the neighbor-
hood.

the point of death. She has been |
sick only few days. Maj. Gordon
Is improving.

here Monday to join her husband

The many friends here of Maj.
Andrew Gordon, of Texas, regret
TO learn that he will be compelled
10 go IN a short time to some

Of his eyes, and spot on his face,

lancer. We understand that Mr..
Vim. Blackburn thinks of returning
