gagged at something fodder, de-
Iivering saw stocks, aud hauling plank
from BE various mills. The drouih has
had .A- effect of forcing people to be more
economical and ustrioas--everything
in the way Of pr0yender is being saved.
The hog crop is very light and there
win be but little pork to spare after sup
plying home consumption. There are
few cattle, but they are thin in order.
Abe Underwood sold q lot Of fat hogs for
50 % per 100 lbs.
The corn crop will be abundant for home
use. Some of those who viii have more
than viii supply them until another crop
is made, win hold IL at home andcipat-
ing a very high price fer it next summer.
At this time corn is selling, in q small
way TO teamsters, at - p per bbl. Ii Is
thought it will bring about 50 at regular
gathering time.
Fall and winter apples are almost an
entire failure The drouth and hot sun
done the business.
The mast, which is matter Of consjd

Dyersburg road near Hickman. 10 some
thing could De done towards its improve
meut it would be blessing 90 those wAo
have 10 travel IL during the winter and
spring. Should the county authorities,
as proposed, furnish lumber for cuIverts,
it is uncertain whether the hands on the
road would put them in. TIE average
hiIliau Is rot much on road working,
though over this road be derives cousId-
cradle income rs delivering wood TO the
citizens Of Hickman. Ia fact the grclter
part Of the fuel consumed in the town
masses over 10. The hi.iiuu is something
like the Arkansawian as to putting roof

good during the summer and fall it uee1s
but little work, and it is not worked, and
when che rainy season sets in 10 is ln-
possible then to 10 anything TO improve
