Sound Sense.
Mr.. w. F. Elam, successful farmer
who lives inst beyond Choty, says
there is no use in a mans planting
less cotton because cotton is cheap, if
he makes enough corn to do him, and
Mr.. Elan is just exactly right. Plant
all the cotton you possibly can
provided you surely make all the corn
and oats and peas you need

Peaches are. for sale on nur streets
every day now. They are small and
inferor as yet. Melons are also

A Rumor.
1t was rumored on our streets last
week that Gus Longstreet, one of the
negroes charged with killing Mr..
John Paul, had sent word to Mr.. Ben
Soyar to meet him in the suburbs and
escort him 10 town as he wanted to
deliver himself up and was afraid to do
$50. We traced the rumor far enough
to ascertain, that Gus instead of being
in the suburbs was probably a hundred
miles from here on a foreign shore. 4

ark, when Jupiter Pluyius called a hal
and the rain let up.
