Bachman Chapel Chronicles.

Mrs. NJ. NJ. Long has been quite sick
for the past few weeks, but we are glad
to learn that she is now somewhat i'm
proved.
Mrs. Lizzie Hunter returned home
last Sunday from a few weeks visit in
the Little Mountain and Sigh Sec
tions.
Mr.. J. K. Epps boarded the train at
Prosperity last Sunday for Greenville,
where be will attend the Supreme
Court as juror.
Mr.. Editor, I have neither planted
in the ground or the moon, but feel
that it is getting time to start some
where. I rather think that when I
start will start in the ground.
Since the price of bacon has ad-
vanced, mich cows are in great de-
mand throughout this section.
On account of i'll health Rev. J. A.
Sigh could not fill his appointments
as st. Paul's and st. Phillips last Sun
day.
The following schools have closed:
Ridgeroad on Friday, the 24th ult:; st.
Phillips on Tuesday, the 2sth; Gall
man Academy on Friday, the Sd inst.
A molasses mill is what we Ridge
roadites have needed for considerable
time. So can say, plant your cane,
brother farmers; it will come. Old
Uncle J. Adam Mayer has promised
to establish one along this line, and we
know that his word will do to rely
upon.
This is not means of advertisement,
Mr.. Editor, but I would like to say to
any one who is in your town, who wants
good, palatable lunch, to call on Mr..
J. II. West. We know whereof we
speak.
Well, if we all live we will see what
we do see; but if was disposed to bet
/ would bet few beans that Old Uncle
Ben will come out in the railroad case,
as usual, on top.
We suppose that the Boneyard Asso-
citation closed last Monday until next
fall. Some from this section went up
to witness the closing exercises.
ii Two months and one week of the
new new year have passed and gone
and scarcely any planting has been
done. Some of US farmers have begun
to say, "Did you ever see the ike?
Further behind than we ever have
known ourselves with our farm work. !"
| But this is quite a mistake. If you
! will just call back to the spring of '89
you will find that we are-not bit
Eworse behind. now than we were then.
So don't fret, farmers, the days are
getting longer; think we will alTget
enough before another nine weeks.
What pity, but nevertheless it is a
fact, that there will be more CONNER
fetal fertilizers used this year through
out this entire section of country than
has been in number of years. More
fertilizers, we fear, means more cotton
land less other home supplies. If this
is the case, fellow-farmers, next fall
will come in the same old cry Of over
production, and we will be left nap
ping again with our six cents cotton.
EBut here is one cause for so much mere
,guano being used. The unprecedented
Lrise in the price Of cotton seed has
fcaused a great many farmers to ex-
change them, which they intended to
use for manure, for guano. Whether
this is a wise plan or not we are unable
to say; but a little experience is the
best guide after all, if it doesn't cost
too much.
Mr.J.P Mahon, local agent of the
Farmers Mutual and Fire Insurance
Association, passed through here few
! weeks ago, working up an interest in
| this new association. Through this
! company farmer can get insurance
very cheaply. Mr.. Mahon said that he
would be back through this section in
the course of three weeks from the
time he left.
We have always heard never mind
the weather so the wind don't blow.
But the wind did blow on Saturday
last, and it blew furiously. While we
were sitting in the house, there was a
puff Of wind come along and moved a
/ large work bench some distance, tear
ing it to pieces. Some shingles were
blown from the roofs of houses; fencing
was blown down and some small fruit
trees were uprooted. Mr.. T. L. B.
Epps says his stove chimney was
blown down.
