Several of our farmers are planting corn
this week.
The beautiful, warm spring weather Is
making the grass and weeds stretch up in
| 8 hurry. ,
The merchants report business little
slack. Reckon everybody Is at work.
Politics are as quiet as you please In
these diggings. Lots of "the boys" hardly
know "where they are at"
The weather for the last few days has
| been very favorable for farm work, and
the farmers have certainly put in good
time. Some of them are about done put
ting In guano.
The entertainment given by the Cedar
| Wreath school, as announced In the local
columns of the INTELLIaENoER for last
Friday night, was brilliant success.
Your humble servant was on hand
promptly and enjoyed himself hugely-in
| fact, was .'carried away" with the e1er-
cises. The night was what one might,
without hesitancy, call lovely. The air
was Just crisp enough to be pleasant.
Seats were provided out in the yard to ac-
commodate quite large number, but
when the crowd had assembled they were
but little more than sufficient to accom-.
modate the ladies. Sweet music and sil-
very peals of laughter foated out upon the
breeze through the moonlit grove. Here
aud there were groups of jolly, happy
young people, all as lively as you please
and looking their best. What was there
to hinder one from enjoying It? While
admiring the crowd In general and the
girls In particular, and congratulating
ourselves for being so lucky as to be
present, the music suddenly died away,
conversation stopped, quietude reigned
for moment and every eye was on the
stage. The curtain went up and the au-
| dience was treated to talk from the
teacher, Mr.. L P. Ellison Then DR..
