DIED, on Sunday night, July 20,
1884, at the residence Of his son, j. c.
Hughes, Mr.. Phillip Hughes. Mr..
Hughes was very old man, lacking
only one day of being so years old.
He had been declining for some time,
and his death was not unexpected.
An inqusitive person poked his
head into printing Office door near
here and asked "Whose dead ?" "No.
body that I've hearn on" The inquis.
tive person then asked, Whats that
piece of Grape on the door for ?" The
devil had hung the Office towel on the
door-knob while he chased lame pig
con around the courthouse.
Rev. G. L. Stainback, D. D.,
pastor of the G. P. Church at this
place, has been granted leave of alb,
sence by his church until the first of
September. He left Friday morning
for Monteagle, where he will spend
few days and then 60 to visit relatives
and friends in Mississippi and Alabama.
We wish the Doctor pleasant visit
and safe return.
1t will cost you nothing to take a
look at the Acme Harrow.
The weather is warm and the
earth in these parts is becoming dry
and thirsty for rain. We notice some
corn and other vegetables that are al
ready suffering. We had so much
rain few weeks back that farmers
plowed their crops full wet, and the
ground in many places is becoming
very hard. A few weeks more with>
out rain will materially injure the corn
crop, and cut short the pea and other
late crops not yet matured.
H. B. Grissom, ESQ.,, one Of
W hite county's most successful farm.
ers, was here Tuesday. He says his
wheat crop was much better where
drilled than that sown broad cast, not
withstanding the land drilled was much
inferior to that sown broadcast. II
will pay to drill your small grain, es-
pecially winter sown.
