oh the sunny days and balmy
air, how they do make the farmers
stirl You would think so could
you see as on the jump, each one
seems to say by his actions | am
going to Y. L. Planting is pro-
crossing very slowly, but one thing
is very notable among the farmers
of the fourth this spring. They are
cultivating their crops before plant
ing by thoroughly preparing their
ground before planting. This is
the best method to insure good
crops of grain.
Wheat is looking better than
we anticipated a few weeks ago.
Clover and grass are also looking
splendidly.
The MethOdists are building
commodious church just at the six
teen mile post on the Lambsferrv
road that will do honor TO them and
bespeak well for the citizens of the
surrounding community. j. G.
Marbut, Thomas and Dewitt Booth
are the building committee. This
of itself is sufficient to warrant US
saying that the house will be a good
one, for they have their employ w.
L. Moore the best carpenter in the
south end of the county. Just here
we would say the fourth district is
sadly deficient of good church and
school buildings. This is a bad |
comment upon any community. Let
us have COED comfortable buildings.
If not fine ones. This will enhance |
the value of our lands and cause
energetic and enterprising men to
settle among US. When a person
from a refined section of country |
rides through community and |
views open log school houses with |
puncheon benches for seats. old di. |
lapidated church houses or shelters
answering for the same purpose,and |
grave yards all covered with brlars
and underground, he does not form
a favorable opinion of the people.
but is almost certain to think thew
have not advanced far beyond the
pioneer period-a period when men
were cramped down for the want of
the facilities we have now. When
a refined person comes upon q
grave yard like the above, he mus
es to himself; this people don't care
anything for the dead, much less for |
the living, therefore l do not care to
east my lot among them. Fellow
lourthlan how many neat and well
kept grave yards have we? Oh,
for conscience sake keep sacred the
city OF the deadl' Can you not
lose one day annually-say the
1rst day of May-and come together
clean off the tangled mass of hriars
and vines, SOW down some nice
grass, plant shurbbery and refresh
,he mounds? Try it. You will be
hone the loser, but you will have
ond thoughts and recoHections of
he past that will stir your soul to a
more useful and better life.
Mrs. (Major) Jones died last
sunday; old age we suppose is the
,ause..
Mrs. A. T. Foster has been very {
lick but is improving. :
The enterprising firm of Wat
Tins d Lanier, millers, have en-
'leyed the Messrs. Alternately to
Duild them a stone dam for their
mill. When this is completed we
an boast of having one among the I
.est mills in the county.
II believe the fourth can boast |
i haYing the Jest "story teller in
ne county. He is little ahead of
Peter Fender of old. We call him
brow the yarner." You ought to
lear him, it would even do your old J
ocks good. If you ever get the
'lues come out to Marbuts and we
Rill turn old Drow loose on you and
fter ten minutes work we guaran-
ee to send you back to town more
seful and better man.
