have gone over their c1tton crops the hrst
time in picking. 1t will be short when all
gathered.
More hay has been taken care Of this year
than usual.
The corn gathering season will soon he on
hand, and the old fashioned ehuckings,
wrcstlings and dry fights will be in order.
The ground is in splendid fix for sowing
wheat, and we hope our people will soon get
at II.

Teachers Association, which met IN the
Graded school building at Union last Satur-

teachers present as we have seen, yet We
must confess that we have never seen better
work done by that body, and it was resolved
by each one present to carry on the work.
