CARRIERS CREEK, July Ga slight
lnd1sposition has caused our silence for
some weeks.
Wheat and oats have boon harvested
and the yield will be only tOlerably
good for the former, while the latter is
SAID to be fine. We have been told that
Mr.. Joe Terrill made thirty-two bushels
of wheat per acre on about fifteen acres,
but the rest of his crop was rather
light.
Before this reaches the public gaze
the Irish potatoes all will have been
dug. Those who were forced to dig to
hill early engagements made from four
to ten barrels per acre, while those who
waited until the potatoes matured are
making from ten to thirty barrels per
acre, and the price is quite satisfactory.
Our people are enthusiastic over the
| present prospect for a fine school here
this coming tall. Messrs Stegall and
! Ayers will teach the literary branches
| and Mrs. Ayers will give lessons on
the piano and organ. Miss Lena Ayers,
the present music teacher, has accepted
position at Spring Hill. Our people
are refined and Intelligent, which makes
our society equal to any in excellence;
church advantages are good and those
who wish to send their sons and
daughters to a good school will do well
to consider all these thing before sending
elsewhere. Mr.. Stegall has taught here
for two years, which is proof of his
recommended. The school house needs
| repairing, and an ice cream supper has
been suggested as the plan for raising
money with which to do the work.
| This will be laudable as well as a
| pleasurable way of raising the necessa-
ry understandable, for while making
| 1t pIessurable by satisfying the inner
man one is not deceived by thinking
| he is in such noble way helping in the
| cause OF Christ, as we so often hear. So
| all who wish to have a nice time and
| something palatable to eat should come.
| The exact date has not been fixed, but
those who anticipate coming can just
| be laying aside their spare nickels, as
| they will be notified in time to get there
| and they might need them.
