MALCUM DOTS.
BY ED.

Bad weather indeed on stock, and
farmers who are trying their hand for
another crop.
Mr.. j. c. May is surely disappointed
with his lot of grub all cooked up for
his log rolling and it keeps raining.
Farmers are preparing early this
year for new crop. They talk more
about raising hog and hominy than
they do about raising cotton.
Mr.. j. r. Ainsworth expresses his in.
tention of going to Louisiana after his
girl next Saturday. We wish Mr.. Aims.
worth success in his undertaking. The
young lady is pretty one and with
some means, but we think Mr.. Aims
worth is in true earnest about her.
Mr.. A. G.. Little has left Malcum to
take up his abode at johnson Station
to take charge of saw-mill for Mr.. j
b. Nalty. We don't question Mr.. Lit
ties ability to conduct saw-mill bust
ness; we know his winning ways will
make him friends. and his business ca
pacity will lead to success
Mr.. E. L. Sutton's school closed last
Friday. He expresses his intention of
making crop this year if poor land
and rock hills will make it.
Mr. Joe Harrington "Malcums
sprightly," is going to make Mr.. A. W.
Whites his home another year.
Two drunken rowdies by the name of
Saunders and Norris overhauled Mr..
w. L. and F. A. Ainsworth last week,
and one of the ruffiians snapped a
pistol at them and used the worst of
profane language in abusing them. We
guess that justice will lead them to the
right track.

at Heuck's Hall for the purpose of

DAYS OF THE HOME MADE.



7 The cultivation of flax and the man.
ufacturc OF linen were universal In the
early days of New England Nearly
every house In the couatry had cards
and great wheel and little wheel, reel
and swifts, and dyc-tub in the Kitchen,
and sc0rn, warping bars and loom in
chamber or garrct. From the History
of Rochester" ~ H., we Gull the fol-
lowing description:
Every farmer set apart n portion Of
his land for flax. IL was IN indispcn-
sable crop, and the manufacture of oil
from the seed became n profitable
business.
The flax was carefully pulled up by
the roots and stacked In the field till
thoroughly dry, when the seed was
thrnshcd out. IL was then soaked i'm
water for several days, and spread on
the ground 60 be vctted, frosty nights
helping To whitcn IL.
After u suitable time Il was slowed
away till spring, when il was brought
out To he dressed by use of the brake,
the hatchcl and the swingle. by this
mCarS the fax was thoroughly bruised
without cutting, aud the tow and
coarse. woody parts separated from
the finer tibcrs of true linen. II was
then comhed To complete the separa.
ton, ard was ready for the wives and
daughters To spin and weave into gar
mCnts.
Wooden cloth was also made at home.
The wool was cardcd into rolls by
hand, and then spun and woven into
cloth.
All garments were lilSewicc made ut
home, not only for everyday wear, but
the go-to-mcetng dresses of the wom-
en- and the brcechcs for the men, even
the suits that the minister wore in
the pulpit and the clothes Of repre-
scntatives to congress, all were home
made.
The first carding machine was intro.
duccd 10y Eliphalct Horne in 1911. Ii
caused much excitement in town. and
set the old people To shaking their
heads and asking what the girls would
have To do now.
