Rain! Rain Too much rain is the
general complaint of every farmer.
"Looks like 1 cannot get any oats SOW n,
or any ground broken up, or even any
hauling done," etc. Man, it seems, is
never satisfied.
The past year, it seems, has been one
of unusual occurrence, disasters to both
life and property, as past records Will
show. It seems to have no effect upon
the general masses OF the people. The
same reckless, headlong, thoughtless
way is being pursued, with never a
thought of the past. We should pc
thankful that it is as we'll with us as 1t Is.
The school was never better here, than
now. 30 SAYS Prof. Watkins, and he is
always considered authority on such
matters. But never in our notice have
we seen it under as good control as at
present. We are not interested-only an
observer.
The new house being erected by Mrs.
Walters will soon be completed. 1t is
neat in appearance, conveniently con-
structed and situated in g. very desirable
part Of the town.
W. A. Shirley boasts Of the incest
dwelling in the city, but he is still board,
ing with the "old man." Laying all
Jokes aside, Mrs. Shirley says that they
are going to move shortly. Weguess some
one could sell "Billy" pig, COW and
good yard dog. All these are essential to
housekeeping.
Miss Lois Chappell, one Of the school
girls, has been quite sick, but Is better.
We guess she missed her mother COM
forting words and domestic remedies,
but her interest was we'll looked after by
her sister, Mrs. Hough.
We noticed three of our teachers came
from their schools last Friday and spent
Sunday with their parents. Honea Path
feels proud of the teachers she has sent
out, and always hates to hear of them
getting so far away Lhat they cannot
wandering dispositions, but they are
always Glad to reach home when the time
comes for them to close their schools.
Our good natured "Billy Branyon"
now rooms in his nice little cottage down
the way. He has tried this before, but
one night after big supper and twelve
hours of rain, he decided that "old Mrs."
might look after him from that night on.
He saws now that he is not going to stay
long by himself. "Billy" means this,
too.
Mr.. G.. e. Harper sold a car Of mules
last week. He is expected in from At
lanta to-day with another lot. He always
selects good stock and sells reasonable.
This is local and not an advertisement
The price of cotton advancing puts
little more life into trade. AS long as
q man has bale of cotton he buys goods
at the cost price, promising to pay as soon
as be "sells cotton" regardless OF The
amount of the purchases, but some of the
merchants have caught on to this
"racket."
A. c. Hall and Breazeale Gambrell
leave to-day for Atlanta and Texas, res
pectively. They are "sixteen-year-olds"
and their experience may be given in
later.
DR.. Jas. F. Wilson leaves for the North
February 18th to spend the summer.
Barret Wright, of Piedmont, will fill his
Office here and J. A. Dickson, of Antre-
Vile, who is now in Atlanta, will fill his
Office at Williamson. We welcome Mr..
Wright, and bespeak for him the patron
age left by DR.. Wilson. DR.. Wilson, by
his social attainments, kind disposition,
moral nature and religious profession has
left an enviable reputation and an exam
pie hard toimitate. Personally speaking
we hate to see him go, but have nothing
to say, as We are always glad to see any
one better themselves.
Mr.. Robt. Kay, of Atlanta, spent last
week at home. He has worked himself
up to nice position and seems satisfied
to make his home "across the line.'
Mr.. l.. M. Wilson has added two rooms
TO his house for his father and mother,
who comes to live with him. The addi-
ton improves his place very much: ;,
