The farmers of this section are
busy, preparing for another crop.
We have heard that the people in
some sections during the past winter
would get together to talk about
''These hard times" instead Of going
to work to make them get better.
"These hard times" must be on a
change. Why? 1t seems as if every
body that is not married is trying to
get married. Even some of those
who have been married twice are be.
ing married and some Others trying
to be.
The "Grippe" still fingers with
our people. Some get wella travel
for week or two when they are TAX
en- again. There are but few fami-
lies that have not got it. One man
has said, "My folks getup to eat and
go right back to bed" Us.

Mr.. Bell is model teacher and
has taught for us two years and has
given general satisfaction. We re-
greet very much to know that he is
going to quit teaching for we feel
safe in saying, that Sampson will
loose one of her best teachers. He
is going to quit teaching for the
purpose of attending course of
medical lectures at Baltimore, Md.
He will leave for Baltimore the 18th
of March, and We predict for him
much success in that course. Mr..
Bell is a student of Bingham's
School, and has the elements to
make man successful in all bust
ness life, that of untireing energy
and perseverance,. w. A. Baggett,
