Seeing nothing in your paper

neighborhood has not been good,
and we have had some deaths. MI.
A. p. Collins had the misfortune
to lose his wife short time since.
Mr.. w. 81. Maxwell lost his little
two year old girl, also Mr.. j. Nc
Collum lost a daughter about thlr-
teen years of age. On the morn
ing Of the LIST inst, two bouncing
big babies were found at the house
of Mr.. w. H. Maxwell, a boy and
a girl. There is certainly change
for the better taking place in our
neighborhood. We can boast of
open cotton plenty in the field, and
corn planting on. the same land In
the month of April.* Can Grant
come up with that? / think not.
Crops are good, better than they
were last year with the most of us.
Everybody seems to be striving
for good crop-but little hunting
or running OF hounds. / can hear
one big mouthed hound near my
place, but very seldom. Every
body is well up with their work
considering the wet weather. The
land spectators have been with us,
there having been no less than SIX
at my house in the last three days.
They told me there is not any pine
timbered land vacant from Beech
creek to Pineville, a distance of fifty
miles. There will be primary

i'm luck in our parish at the April
election. Hogs are doing we'll, and
are big fat in the woods yet, and
the prospect for a fine mast next
winter is good. A great many
young hogs on hand, and in fact
everything looks as if we were go
ing to have better times. The peo-
pie seem to be getting along more
agreeably than they have for
long time, with a very few excep-
lions. The Farmers Union is also
getting along among us finely. Il
is doing much good in the way Of
peace and harmony among the PEG
