Regular eouespondeneol
We write once more TO inform
the many readers Of The CHRoEI-
Gle that we are still in the race to
ascertain who viii be the FIRST bird
TO feather a nest in the garden Of
old Mother Earth by rearing the
largest crops and the finest fruits.
Mr.. w. q. Rushing and sons are
leading yet, with 40 acres of corn
planted and the March seed germ
mating nicely, while.50 acres moro
of good soil to be planted 10 corn.
Our energetic neighbor, Mr.. 10.
! N. Quillen and son are a good sec
ond, with 20 acres planted and 30
more to follow next week, should
the weather permit
Mr.. j r.. Herrin comes next He
has l6 acres in corn, and will plant
30 acres more.
Again, there are quite a number
of others who are following in the
wake Of the early birds, and they
may (some Of them) feather their
nests more abundantly than any of
the many focks in the corner, for
aught we know.
The mill here is still humming
at very lively rate, and Judging
from the quantities of lumber and
timber to be handled yet, the hard
work of getting it on the market is
not at an end by any means.
! Messrs. 9. III. Crossnoe a. Son,
| S. +. Baker and 7. "A. Rushing have
delivered about forty thousand feet
of gum lumber and set of "switch"
ties at Big Sandy recently, and the
yard here still holds a deal of lum-
Der yet, while logs are coming in by
the wholesale.
Your correspondent made a tour
last week down in the land of Cuba,
canvassing for The CHRONICLE in
connection with other matters of
business. We arrived just in time
to assist in raising a large and COM
modious stock barn for Uncle John
! A. Barnes, which work we finished
4 late in the afternoon. 1t was our
pleasure on this occasion to meet
with a number of our old comrades
in arms during the "late unpleas-
I antness," and the theme Of CONVEX
Q sation turned to the reunion of the
; Blue and Gray at Shiloh and the
I changes that have taken place since
> they met there as foes in death
, struggle for supremacy.
1t The petitions to the general as
@ sembly concerning a no-fence law
e was also discussed. Out of thirty
II three men present there was not
% one who favored such a law, as we
10 are not ready for it yet. If it was
} left to a vote, the result would be
at least so to l in this part of the
county to let the present fence law
stand Just as it is for the next de-
II cade anyway.
Mr.. L. l.. Warmack invited all
.y present to assist him in piling logs
is the next day. The temptation was
l. too great for your humble servant
h. so at an early hour the following
st morning we were bon hand will
70 twenty-four others who meant bus
n mess, and by 5 o'clock p. m. there
IN were no more logs to pile. By in
ID vitation we adjourned to the home
in of Mr.. Warmack, where a bounti
e. full feast had been prepared by tn,
j. ladies Of the household, and it i
of hardly necessary to add that we dit
Id ample justice to the spread.
