From Granville Tenn.
To the Chronicle:

For some time have been thinking
of writing few notes for the CHRoN-
ICLE, but have failed TO do so until
now Everything is moving along
smoothly in this part of the country.
Farmers are all busy planting corn
and WHEN Il season comes they drop
everything and make am effort to get
last years crop of thlElc,'O ready for
market. 1t is ii rare thing that to-
bIrco is found hanging ia the barn
the first Of May and on the stalk at
that However perhaps it will termi-
nate best for the farmers after all, that
the last years crop is IL great deal of it
unSOld at this time
The outlook for the wheat crop is
somewhat gloomy, though we hope
enough will be made tor home con-
sumpIion at any rate Oats are look
ing timely aud il nothing Injuries
them, the crop viii Toe . fine one. The
fruit crop is the most promising |
ever saw, which is very gratifying to
all. as We have failed in fruit for sew
eral years
The funeral of the lamented Nelson
Brown was preached at Bethel church
on last Sunday, by the Rev. H. L. Bur-
ney to a large concourse of friends
and neighbors and the funeral of the
lamented E. T. Swift, will be preached
at Bethel ON the third Sunday in May
They were both highly respected citi-
zens of the same community and
truer veterans of the cross" are not
often found. Rev. r. ]. Craig will
preach the funeral of Mrs Isadora
Halliburton (wife of Allan Hallibur-
ton) on the fourth Sunday in May, at
Meadow church. She was a consist
ent member of the NJ. e. Church
South, and il 1 am not mistaken, pro-
fessed religion while brother Craig
was pastor of this circuit. With
kind regards to your esteemed cores
pondent at Overalls, am
