Our people are nearly done picking
their cotton and sowing wheat, and are
beginning to talk about Christmas.
We have had tough time for the last
few weeks picking the Cracked bolls,"
caused by the early frost, which damaged
the cotton great deal in this neigh bor-
hood. Nevertheless, we have made a
very good crop, and have much to be
grateful for.
Several of our citizens have fine hogs.

We stand in need of vagrant law in
this neighborhood. There are about
dozen that we could very well spare. It
is quite common to hear of some Of their
depredations. One of .hem stole a buggy
whip from Mr.. J. N. Erskine few days
ago. Mr.. Erskine found out who had it,
and went and demanded it. 1t was first
denied but at last it was produced, after
which they became involved in a diff
Guilty, which came near proving fatal to
both parties, the negro using knife and
Mr.. Erskine rock. The latter received
two wounds, one in his left side, just
below the heart, about one and half
inches deep, striking rib and stopping
the knife. The other wound was on the
head, cutting a small artery. He bled
profuaely. The negro did his work first,
as he did not have time after Eskine got
his rock, and, but for che interference of
friends, he would, perhaps, have used it
his last time. DIR. Sharpe was called and
dressed both their wounds. Both are
doing very we'll now. Mr.. Erskine is a
very quiet, sober man, and it is pity that
good men have to come in contact with
such characters, but We have to defend
our property.
