Crayton Items,

It seems that your readers might con-
clude that Crayton had fallen through,
but not 30. We are still here, despite tho
hard times, and if they don't think go,
just ask the candidates.
There is series of meetings at Mt.
Bethel this week, conducted by Rev. B.
Hays. The protracted meeting will
begin at Bethany next Saturday. We
hope much good may result from these
meetings.
The schools of the township are in full
blast. l.. M. Mahafey still holds the
fort at Bethany, Miss Minnie Cowan at
Mt. Bethel, and Miss Lena Campbell at
Martin Grove. The School at Crayton-
vile has been opened again after being
closed for several years. Miss Jennie
Griffin is teaching there. Allreport good
attendance.
Our farmers did not all turn out tc the
primary last Saturday. Politics are
pretty hot, but no one in our midst is in
hurry to tear his shirt.
Mr.. G. N. Banister was badly hurt a
few days ago by his mule kicking him in
the face. He says if the girls kick harder
than mules, he would rather die an old
bachelor than to be kicked to death in
his youth by the girls. He says he will
not take much risk hereafter, 30, girls,
don't be discouraged if Newt. is little
slow; just encourage him little, apd he
will come around all right after awhile.
Corn crops are fine with US this year.
Cotton is good, considering the amount
of rain on our sandy soil. Altogether we
have as fine prospect for good yields
as we have had for several years.
Mr.. D. r. Simmons, our merchant, has
nearly completed his new storeroom.
When he gets moved in he will be better
prepared than ever to accommodate his
customers.
Mr.. John Milford is teaching singing
at Long Branch. Quite mum Der of our
young people are attending. They report
8 success, but how could it be otherwise
in the hands of SO energetic man as Mr..
Milford. Any community wanting a
singing taught would do well to secure
his services.
Our community is in good health ex-
cept little Curtis, son of Mr.. and Mrs. D.
r. Simmons. We hope to hear of his
recovery soon.
Miss jamie Cullins is off on visit to
relatives at Calhoun.
Mrs. Susan Alewine has gone on a visit
to her son in .Oconee County.
