Happenings and Sayings Clipped From

Clanton Banner: Chiffon county's first two bales each brought cents per pound.
 Washington County News: The high water in Basset creek hes played havoc with the sheep aloug that stream. Num- bers were hemmed in and drowned.
 Evergreen Star: MT. J. M. Henderson has setter dog of which he is very proud. He has returned the animal to the tax as- sessor at S100 and pays the regular rate on him. There are several very fine sporting dogs in this place.
 Monroe Journal: The weather of the past two weeks has been very unfavorabl for cotton picking. The fields are white with the feecy staple, and many farmers report that the seed are sprouting on the stalk in consequence of the continued rains.
 Washington County News: The large vegetable egg seen by Dr. Webb, as de- scribed in the last weeks issue of the News, was secured this week from the pro- ducer, Mir. c. c. Sullivan, and can be seen at our office. It measured 27R inches in circumference, and weighs seven and a half pounds. There is no doubt it weighed great deal more when green.
 Wilcox Progress: The gins are all in full blast, and 'Uncle Doc, and the cotton seed buyers are happy. But the poor farmer, who has to let his cotton go for or 61h cents, has long face, and is any thing but happy. There will be plenty of corn, potatoes and sugar cane made to do this section another year, if the farmers exercise the proper economy and take care of it.
